Visit the restaurant for a breakfast, the place is confortable, good food, but the service is very slow..
Yesterday, we had our breakfast at Zaitoun Akhdar restaurant. It was the first time for me to try this place although I go to WTC very often. The ambience is very nice especially the outdoor area where we sit across the street. It gives you the real authentic feeling of dining in a Levant country as they also had Arabic music on all the time. The lady who welcomed and attended to us was friendly and courteous.
Now speaking of food, our experience was very good. We ordered Zaitoun Akhdar Breakfast Platter (Shakshooka Eggs + Makdous + Zait w Zaatar + Olives + Labnah Balls) + Tabouleh + Falafel Platter + Potato Spicy + Zaatar Manakeesh + Fatteh. The quality of food overall was very good and the presentation of the dishes was not bad. We liked the shakshooka and falafel (though the falafel was a bit dry, just a bit), but the highlight of the whole meal was the zaatar manakeesh. We really loved it! We didn't like how the makdous and labnah balls were presented, as if they were thrown into the plates. The labnah balls were so small and very dry. Regarding the fatteh, there is a room for improvement I think as the tahini sauce was too much there. I personally did not like the potato spicy. All in all, it was a nice meal. One more thing, I hope they prohibit smoking and hookah in the morning as it was very disturbing for us. Other than this, I think I will come back again - maybe for lunch next time.
The order was for Falafel Sandwich and soda (liver) sandwich. It was nice food. The falafel is very special. The soda is massive and so filling. The special thing I noticed is that the liver doesn’t have stinky taste and smell like most of the other places serving this meal. I’ll try other items from their menue for better assessment. But so far they are amazing
