Simply Amazing Restaurant , Way Better than others Leb restaurants ...
Lebanon’s pan-Arabian and Bedouin-influenced cuisine is an ever-present reminder of the involved communities who have inhabited the fertile lands of the Middle East for centuries. A caravanserai of empires and civilisations has passed through Lebanon and Jordan, which seats at the heart of the Levant – a historical name for the Middle Eastern region that encompasses Jordan, Israel, Syria, Lebanon, and the Palestinian territories.
Great and tasty food and friendly premium service
Hamour sayadia with shrimp meal is tasty
Rice with lamb tasty but too heavy
Kebbeh and fatayr are great
Amazingly mouthwatering food and really good portion size. The service was top notch and really friendly.
Let me just start by saying that there’s certainly no shortage when it comes to Lebanese restaurants in Abu Dhabi What makes Zaytinya special, you say? Glad you asked!. I’ve only been there once before for coffee and a chit chat session with my girls. I went for an “official” visit last weekend and discovered that there was plenty more to love!
The food tasted amazing, great ambience, friendly staff , excellent service. If I could rate more than 5 I would have done it ❤️😍👏
This was a long pending visit. We tried the chicken mosakhan and grilled chicken in mushroom sauce. The dishes were really tasty and good portion too. The mosakhan had a unique taste (slight bitterness) with the olives and the chicken was juicy with a creamy sauce.
We were also given complimentary Arabic bread with Zaatar dip which was amazing.
The service was good and overall, a great experience.
Very good service so far, food arrived hot and was delicious,
ordered mix grill, hummus and um alli, everything was as expected. will order again in the future.
2 choices of soups, delicious Appetizer and healthy Salads and don’t forget the Delish Sweets and Fruits. Tasty and very appetizing. Great selection of Food, simple but nice presentation. Highly recommend to try the Lamb and Grills. Affordable. Worth the price. Very accomodating and Friendly. Amazing staff. Always smiling.
Celebrated Karen Mary 's birthday here last night, and I must say the staff in Zaytinya are super sweet and helpful. Absolutely loved the whole look of this place.
After we placed our order, they served us Arabic Bread with Zatar dip and olives.
For starters we ordered Zaatar & Cheese Manakish and for main course we had Mixed Grill and Fish & Chips.
The food was flavorsome and economically priced although there is a long waiting time for it to be served.
We also tried the Watermelon flavored shisha, it was nice and they did the coal change at reasonable times.
I definitely recommend to try this place out whether with family or friends if you're looking to have a good Lebanese meal.
Fantastic Lebanese food. I have eaten there or ordered from them many times. Every time I feel the food quality is consistent and as good as always. Their mixed grills, shawarma, hummus and salads are all delicious and of high quality.
Highly recommended.
Very tasty food served by helpful staff ,everyone of the staff smiling and helping even after fasting day they still helpful and caring which is very difficult but they really do ,there is a lot of choices in the buffet, I even try all the food and I find out that all the kinds of the food is very delicious, extremely nice work really appreciated.
The food was very good. The chicken wings were very flavorful and I am sure they would have been even better for dine in (we had delivery). I wish we could have modified some of our order. I cannot have the bread,rice or french fries. I would have like to change those for salad and/or hummus. But, there was no way to change.
Zaytinya is a traditional Lebanese restaurant located in Al Seef Village Mall in Abu Dhabi. They have great interiors and friendly service. I had ordered for Shrimp with avacado, shish taouk, hummus and tabuleh with freshly baked bread. The aroma of the food was mind-blowing and the meal was flavorsome.
After a while of stuffing, I was suggested by one of the staff of Zaytinya to try their specialty which was Lamb biryani. I must say the biryani was fresh and I really loved their presentation of it.
For desserts, I ordered for Zaytinya Kunafa and Umm Ali. I enjoyed the kunafa, however umm ali was not one of the best that I have had.
Nevertheless, I would recommend this is a perfect outing if you are craving for a nice Lebanese meal.
Also during Ramadan, this place has good buffet options with mind-blowing interiors and outdoor seating. One can also enjoy Shisha with their meals.

Had the iftar buffet which had a lot of their dishes and I can tell u something is that Lebanese know how to cook their meat. All the meat like mutton chicken and fish were cooked to perfection were the meat dropped of the bone.
Rest of the items were just average.
Service was also average.
I never write reviews but this time I feel obligated, I have had my first order from Zaytinya today, and by far it was the best meal i have had in long time
Great Lebanese taste with superb traditional ambience and decent rates. Ordered daily dish and grilled lamb. Both were up to the mark. Would definitely recommend this.
We ordered tabola it was ok it needed more lemon and salt
Batata harra was good
Humus bel lahma was good
Zay steak was nice i wish if it was more tender
The juices were nice
My overall experience was great thanks

Food was decent, customer service was excellent. Do ask for Satnam, as he was very helpful and accommodating. Good ambience. Overall good experience.
This is the best place to have Lebanese food. Everything on the menu is super delicious. You can never go wrong ordering anything. I especially recommend the mushroom chicken and tabouleh salad. You have got to order the tabouleh! Thank you for the great service and delicious food.

One of our last lunches of the year was at Zaytina. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience there and will definitely be back when we are craving some delicious Lebanese eats. My husband had come from the gym that day, we loved the casual ambience. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was excellent, friendly attentive and also knowledgeable about the menu.
They gave us some amazing recommendations.
1. Babaghanoush - super large portion, I mentioned I love avocados with it and they accommodated!
2. Moutabal - super flavorful and and perfectly paired with their warm breads
3. Kebbeh - this was raw lamb which my husband wanted to try. I was glad to see this on the menu as it’s one of the traditional dishes of Lebanese dining!
4. Zaytina Mixed Grill - the meats were excellent all tender, spiced and the portion was hefty!
5. Jordanian Lamb - this dish on Egyptian rice cooked the Jordanian way was my favorite of the day. The meat was so soft, rice was tasty and sauce was delicious! Definitely will come again for this
6. Um Ali - a must order for dessert. Smells amazing. It’s rosewater with nuts, cream and croissant.
Offers here are available on entertainer too!
Will definitely come again for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
Cheers
I hate complimenting but objectively this restaurant has a very tasty well done and fresh clean dishes ... it s now one my favorites for oriental foods
Lebanese Fine Dining has a new address – at Zaytinya located in Al Seef Village Mall in Abu Dhabi. Recipient of the What’s On Awards “Favorite Middle Eastern Restaurant 2015”, Zaytinya is the perfect place for a special celebration or a business lunch. Under the stewardship of Executive Chef Ghassan Khattar, the restaurant serves traditional Lebanese favorites with a new interpretation.
Food is nice,and fatoush was great.. i love the spirit of the place and the songs was played 👍🏻
And especial thanks to Mr Ehab and the complimentary dessert and really it was v.good experience and sure we ll repeat it isa.
Friendly staff. Good food. Fast service. Had really good kunafa and shish tawok. I wouldn't say they had the best shwarma. The prize was very affordable cause I used a Groupon deal, without that, it would've been a bit in the higher end.
I always go to Zaytinya for traditional Lebanese food, they have vouchers everywhere so the cost is not really a problem. The food is amazing especially their Tabbouleh, it's literally the best in Abu Dhabi in my opinion, I always go for mixed grills and I'm never disappointed. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the ambience is so elegant and comfy. We even had a birthday party there once and everything was more than perfect.
Great place for Lebanese food near my office. went there through zomato gold and added it my favorites list. even being a veggie didn't limit my choices much. great hummus, mohammara, fattoush...and great shakes and juices. add to the great food a nice place to sit and have lunch or dinner. would recommend this for sure.
Great service! Especially loved their Muhamra. I'm a regular now as i definitely consider their food one of the best Arabic food in the area. Yummy Kebabs as well. Very honest staff. We had ordered online once, and had paid them extra unknowingly. The delivery staff were quick to realise this and returned the amount promptly. Well Done Zaytinya! Thank you.
Zaytinya is a modern middle eastern eatery located at Al Seef Mall. The ambiance here is quite calm, elegant and relaxing to have a cozy middle eastern meal with family or friends. They have different seating options for shisha, non smokers and an option to dine outdoor. This slideshow requires JavaScript.
I have been to Al Seef Village numerous times. Around the area you can find an authentic Lebanese restaurant, Zaytinya. The beautiful chandeliers and intrinsic patterns are evident to the eyes. The space includes: Open Kitchen, Private Dining Room along with its iconic interiors of modern and urban.

When I was told about a group lunch at Zaytinya, Al Seef Village Mall, I contained my expectations for I thought of the standard lebanese fare.
And Oh boy ! I shouldn't have judged the book by its cover, Yes it is a lebanese restaurant but minus the typical hummus, tahini and rocket leaves.
Pre starters served were freshly baked arabic bread accompanied with za'ater in olive oil.
Soon after, the starters - Grilled Halloumi comes to the table and for me this was the best grilled halloumi I have had in Abu Dhabi in a very long time, smooth textured and well cooked.
I tried playing safe by ordering the Zaytinya Mixed Grill for my main course; their serving is good enough for 2 people hence I had the leftovers packed. My friends opted for the daily special -
Mansaf Lamb - A well marinated roasted lamb shank with a yoghurt sauce served on a bed of yellow rice and that was lot of meat !
Oriental lamb - This one actually pulled me towards it for the strong cinnamon aroma it was packed with. Roasted lamb shreds blended with oriental rice served along with a tangy sour sauce.
Upon the restaurant manager's insistence, we dared to try the desserts and my muhalabiah was quiet consistent in its texture and the sweetness just right. My friends appreciated the well cooked umm ali too.
The best part, you get a soup and any of the above mentioned main courses and desserts for just AED49 and you can also add a sheesha for an extra AED20... for me the pricing was as inviting as the food !!
One of my favorite Lebanese restaurants in Abu Dhabi. I used to go there a lot when I was working nearby... Their Knefe is also nice :) Overall good experience
Been visiting recently Zaytinya a couple of times. Food quality and service orientation is up to a very GOOD standard. Thank you
Good food with delicious starters,
and the dessert Umm Ali was fantastic ...
However the outside seating area was not accessible and service was ordinary (Could be greatly improved)..

Nice clean casual place to enjoy great Lebanese food! Loved the salads, hot appetizers, and main course meal. Mr. Ihab was also very attentive to our needs and made the experience even better.
They carry a pretty big menu, and generally the bigger the menu the lower the expectations I have for them to be able to prepare everything well. But so far I cant say I've ordered a dish that I've been dissapointed with. Overall they do a good job and meeting expectations and remaining consistent.While Zaytiniya do a good job at maintaining the ala carte menu's quality, I'd advoid their iftar buffet as its not held to the same standard.
Awesome location, decor, food, and SERVICE!! We had an Eid lunch with a large group including kids and Ehab was so helpful in the pre-planning and during the event. All of the staff were friendly and were able to meet all of our needs with a smile. Special shout out to our waitress Kristina who was professional, accommodating, and pleasant. She helped out with the kids-which is not part of her job-and organizing when we added a few more people to the table. We also has front row seats for FOOTBALL!! With a large group of different tastes, ages and personalities everyone gave Zaytinya a perfect 10 for food, atmosphere, and service. I have yet to go there and have a less than awesome food experience! Keep up the great work with the restaurant and team!!
I was contacted by the restaurant saying the food might be late which I appreciated, and the food ended up arriving on time which I also appreciated. quiality and taste are great. Tho there are other less expensive options offering the same kind of food, but the quality is worth it.
delicious food and the delivery timing was perfect
Order delivered on time with no delay. This time I was in the mood for hot Mezze and so I ordered the mashakel Mezze place and it was a great choice. The kebbe tasted really nice and the Sambusek and cheese roll were both crunchy and had the right amount of meat and cheese. Good Job!
The experience was amazing compared to other restaurants .
1- food was fresh and we tried twice in Ramadan
2- team where great, helpful and respectful and thanks to Mr. Ehab who is managing and supporting his team
3- the atmosphere is wonderful and smoking is allowed in a specific time only
4- good for families with kids , however it’s a quit place
5- food deserves coast and you can get discount in certain times of the year.
6- you can enjoy walking inside the village connected the same mall.
The food is super delicious - the chicken liver appetizer and batata harra are just amazing 👌
Friendly staff and helpful.. the food is served quick and fresh! Love it
a lot of great food!! perfect for me since I am stuck in a hotel for 2 weeks.
good food on time delivery
Highly recommended for the beautiful ambience, good service and authentic Arabic flavours. The service team is very interactive and approachable. Talking about Menu pricing the restaurant is not very expensive. The quantities are fairly decent with no compromise on taste. We have made several visits here and every time try a combinations of new recommendations.
Thank you Team Zaytinya.
Today I have ordered from this Resturant and unfortunately just becoz of Zomato people my ordered got delayed for 2 hours( I cancelled the order) . And when I called to the Resturant the manager apologies for the inconvenience and delivered the same food without charging a single penny . I really like the way he deal with an angry customer . Greatly appreciated . Will go sometime to visit this place for sure .
Always great. Always quick. We will order again. :)
I felt the necessity to write this review after my last experience. I was really sick and asked for the food to be delivered quickly! I got my food in 20 minutes only and it was fresh and tasted so good!
Thanks Zaytinya :)
Food was great, especially Um Ali the famous Arabian dessert. But on the other hand service can be greatly improved!! Atmosphere pretty good...separate smoking places....!!
Amazing food. Very good quality and freshness.

وايضا حبيت الخبز كان لذيذ وفريش..
وجربت الشيش طاووق وكان جيد..
مطعم جيد. عربي. يوجد مكان خارجي ايضا
مطعم جميل في مول السيف.. هادي ونظيف.. واكلهم طيب كتير .. في أماكن مخصصه للشيشه وجلسه خارجيه.. الاجواء جميله في المجمل والاسعار مرتفعه نوعا ما..بس الأكل حلو وطازج
الاكل كتير زاكي كانه اكل بيت ، عملت عندهم عزومة ل٢٥ شخص كان اشي بياض وجه
بالتوفيق يا رب
من اجمل المطاعم الموجوده بابوظبي اكلهم لذيذ و طيب الصراحه انصح الجميع به حتى الخدمه هناك ممتازه وحبابين كلهم اعطيهم ١٠ من ١٠
