Zaytoon - Santa Barbara

We have enjoyed the food and the atmosphere! friendly service and delicious food!

The restaurant had such a nice ambiance with trees and lights all around the patio. The food was good! I got the vegan options which are all clearly labeled on the menu. The Vegetarian feast came with all the vegan options and I added the potato side which was amazing! They also have a nice wine list. Parking is available in a paid lot right across the street.

Every time I visit SB, I always make a dinner reservation at Zaytoon. The food is amazing and the ambiance is so romantic! It's such a beautiful restaurant and setting. The hung lights and corners are picture perfect spots! I always bring friends to try this place and everyone has always loved it. The service is 5 star and top tier. Even celebrities have dinner with their family here like Natalie Portman who my sister has spotted here. Sometimes they have entertainment like belly dancers come around. It's so neat! They had it the night I brought a bachelorette party in before the nightclubs. It was such a nice little pregame! Every experience I've had at zaytoon has been 5 star. Everything's clean, food is amazing. You can't order a bad thing. I always go with kebab and their salad is so yummy. The pistachio spread is so flavorful, the pomegranates give it a good zest and spice up the consistency. Any and everything you order will be delicious!

Zaytoon was really delicious Lebanese food. The place is tucked away near Mission Santa Barbara, up a small staircase, and in a small, White House. They have limited seating inside but it was enough to sit for an early Saturday dinner. There is also a patio area outside where you could eat but it was rainy. We ordered the: Combo kebabs comes with 1 lamb, 1 chicken and 1 beef kebab along with a small fatoosh salad and rice pilaf. We substituted for 2 chicken and 1 beef. All meats were super juicy, although my companion preferred more spices on the chicken. Salad was excellent. Pistachio spread must order. It was so creamy. Love the pomegranates on top. Side of pita which costs extra, 2 full, warm pitas cut in half. Total bill came up to $60 not including tip. Service was attentive and pleasant. Parking is available on the street for 90 minute parking except Sundays which is unlimited. I'd come back again if I were in the area.

Absolutely loved Zaytoon!! The drinks, the food, the vibe was all a 10/10! I came here on my bachelorette trip and it was the perfect way to start the night. We got to sit at the cute fire pit table and it was all just so dreamy and perfect.
