Reviews for Zaytoon in Santa Barbara, CA
I liked this place. It was in a business trip and I went out there by myself and I should wait even for one person and in a... weekday afternoon about 20 minutes. Really nice place with plants everywhere in outsides. I got the mashawi combo that it was amixture of beef chicken and lamb kabob. Kabobs were good but nothing exceptional but hummus and other salad and yoghurt saucewas really good. I haven’t tried their drinks which looked good. The price without any drink or anything else just the platewithout tip but plus tax was $37. I will go back here to try other food and drink! Read more
I absolutely love visiting this establishment. We spent a wonderful evening at this place. The atmosphere is incredible. Very... beautiful terrace. All the dishes were very tasty, the serving is beautiful, the food looks appetizing. The menu is not large,but there is plenty to choose from, a good selection of vegetarian options. Pleasant waiters. Acceptable prices. I highlyrecommend you visit this place. You will have a great rest and a delicious meal 100% Read more
Super nice place! Since the beginning they were very friendly, out waiter was fast, kind and attentive:) the food EXCEPTIONAL!!... We had the hummus (ordered a new side cause it was delicious haha), falafel and the cheese sticks as an entree and the chickenkebab as a main course! All the flavors were perfectly combined and nothing was too strong. For dessert we ordered the Irishcoffee ice cream ?????????? and the baklava Next time I’m in Santa Barbara I will definitely come back I highly recommend thisplace Read more
Watermelon salad was delish. Great service and great vibes. Drink was pretty but not very tasty. Still a great meal!
I’m from out of town so I’m not accustomed to the expensive dinners. We had 8 people and it ended up being $74 a plate after... a couple appetizers to share, a meal per person and a drink each. As far as I know they only offer outdoor seating and we wenton a colder night. The fire pits provide very little heat. The atmosphere was great and the food was great but I was freezingand not thrilled with the bill. Highly recommend getting the Watermelon Salad. Mixed Shawarma was good but they short you onthe sauce. Read more
We loved everything. Ambiance. Food. Service. One star off because their deserts menu is very limited. Not everyone like gluten... free chocolate cake. Some of us still want old fashioned real chocolate cake. Other then that, we love it and become regulars) Read more

Quick Summary Solid food, excellent service, and a wonderful sunset/night time ambiance. Setting the trend of outdoor /... romantically lit Santa Barbara dining, Zaytoon provides an excellent experience for any occassion Food- 5 stars Food was prettygood, with mainly mid-price selections. Quality ingredients and perfectly seasoned on all our dishes Mashawi combo- wouldrecommend ordering this to try a bit of everything. The steak and lamb really stood out. Both were extremely tender anddelicious Fries- they do a great job of deep frying here Cheese sambosik- this was pretty good. It was basically a tastiermozzarella stick with a smooth texture (not crispy) Battata harra- potatoes were prepared nicely here. Highly recommend for theacid lovers there Service- 5 stars Service was excellent throughout. It is nice to get here early (especially if you don't havea reservation). Well taken care of, and also gave us enough space too Ambiance- 5 stars This is what you're mainly here for.The outdoor dining patio is excellent for date nights or large gatherings. Try to get the center tables with the fireplaces ifyou're in a larger group Bottom Line Excellent dining experience with a wonderful outdoor dining patio. Always a good time atZaytoon Read more
