Zaytinya

Love the space and the service was attentive. Most of the food was pretty good. Hummus and warm pita were delicious. Fresh and vibrant tabbouleh in cute little lettuce leaves. LOVED the toum! Lamb was one of the best meat bites ive ever had! Sadly scallops were not seared enough and did not like the taste nor texture of the green apple cacik. Roasted cauliflower was delicious!!! Perfect roastd and came with an outstanding tahini sauce. Greek red wines were pretty good..a little light but still played with the chocolate cake well.

A different place in Las Vegas, Mediterranean food and a menu created for sharing. I love the experience of tasting new flavors, creative dishes. I recommend de Baba Ganush, the flat bread also amazing, really good. They also have family option to share fish or meat. These desserts also very good quality and in my opinion the Turkish coffee was the best way to end a great dinner experience.

December 2025: Stopped by for dinner and enjoyed my meal. Started with the Za'atar pide. I wasn't sure if we got the 65 degree egg 🥚 on our pide. I was expecting an egg with a yolk that was visible. (See photo of our pide and I couldn't tell where the egg was) We also got the cauliflower tiganites which was very tasty. Went well with the pita bread that they served. Also had the falafel, which also went well with the pita. Would get both the cauliflower and falafel again! Lastly, tried the celebration rice with chicken 🐔. This dish was rich and tasty. Service was friendly and attentive. Overall, had a delicious dinner and would come back again.

“A wonderful experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, and the interior design was stunning. You can tell every detail was thoughtfully planned with the guest experience in mind. The staff was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere felt welcoming from start to finish. A place I would gladly return to.” Maura B. Zaytinya: “Thank you for the kind reply. I truly appreciated the welcoming atmosphere, attentive service, and beautifully crafted dishes. It made the dining experience exceptional.” Maura B.

Wonderful ambience and beautiful decor, but the food was a bit underwhelming. The Brussels sprouts were easily the best dish of the night, packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. The salmon main dish was alright but leaned too sour and did not feel well balanced. The grilled chicken was decent, but the portion size was surprisingly small, and the presentation felt lacking for a restaurant of this caliber.

10/10 experience!!!!! We celebrated our engagement and the staff went above and beyond for us. The chef came out to personally thank us for celebrating there which was a nice gesture. The service was incredible and the food was unreal. We really loved the red pepper feta dip, it tasted so fresh. Definitely will be returning next time we are in Vegas!

Zaytinya is a smart modern restaurant in the lower level of the forum arcade. We pre-booked on a Sunday, but it was largely empty. Food is greek/Mediterranean mezze (smaller plates, order several). I had a lamb kavurma, which was a creditable immigration of what I've eaten in Istanbul and the pide was great. Halloumi with cherries was delicious. Adana kebab was a bit plain. Service was very friendly, but over attentive - ever sip of water was met with a refil great except the server both reached across the diners to refill the rest of the table, constantly interrupting conversation and spilling the water. Also the kebabs were brought after all the side dishes were finished. Just kebab meat on its own wasn't a great finish. Not sure about the pounding dance music either. Overall however I really liked the place and would return

Randomly walked into here for dinner after shopping at the Caesar’s Forum. Located at the lowest level, the outside was very warm and inviting. Came on a Thu night, no wait at all. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and my server (Victor) was excellent with the recommendations and knowledge of each dish. The crispy Brussels sprouts were DELICIOUS! The yogurt sauce gave it such a nice flavor. My kid and I ordered chicken and beef shish kabobs and it looked quite small on presentation but we were stuffed by end of the meal. Overall a really nice place, great food, friendly staff. Would recommend!

Hard to find a healthy food in Vegas. This is the only place with Mediterranean cuisine in the whole city. We had a dinner there twice and it was phenomenal. The chief is from Spain and does the magic. Highly recommended!

Zaytinya -- not quite 4 stars, but 3 feels too low. The space is gorgeous, but it was pretty quiet for a Wednesday night, so it didn't have much of a vibe. Service was great -- our server took my friend's gluten allergy seriously and made sure everything was safe for her, which we really appreciated. One of our salads got forgotten, but they brought it out later and took it off the bill, which was nice. Most of the food was good, just not amazing -- solid overall but nothing that really blew us away.

My family's favorite Strip restaurant . Service is always perfectly attentive. Kitchen is quick and food is delicious. Tried almost everything on the menu except for lamb baharat, which is on the list for tonight's visit. Only criticism I have is that the tahdig for the celebration rice is too skimpy, but that's just my greediness. We also appreciate Jose Andres' commitment to serving troubled areas around the world with nourishing food with World Central Kitchen.

One of our friends treated us to this restaurant for my partner's birthday. The ambiance is elegant and upscale. I love the vibe in this restaurant the Mediterranean food was great. Had some hummus and other delicious food. Our waiter was great. Ordered some delicious cocktails.

We ended up coming here because the Zaytinya in Culver was closed temporarily during this period of time and we wanted to check it out. Made a reservation online in advance for 5 and we had a very leisurely dinner. We ordered the smoked beet salata, zatar pide, Zaytinya fries, whole fish, and kebab platter. We definitely over ordered and I think choosing either the whole fish or the kebab platter would be the right move. Both were delicious but I would lean more towards the kebab platter for the variety in meats and sauces. We tried the scallops too, which came in 3, plus the spanokopita which came in a long, thin piece. We had the hummus kuwarma to start as well, which was essentially the regular hummus with lamb mixed in. We ended with two desserts, the olive oil cake and the Turkish coffee chocolate cake. I preferred the olive oil cake but of course both were delicious. Our server was super friendly and very personable. The decor was bright and complementary to the Mediterranean cuisine. Overall, a really nice spot to have a family style meal.

We wanted to try the food along with the drinks, but we were so full from our earlier meal that we'll just have to come back again to explore more of the menu. The bar itself is outstanding--so lovely inside--with amazing drinks and fantastic service. Definitely come check it out!

Yelp Review 2025 #188: I've been a fan of Jose Andres for several years. I've been to all of his restaurants here in Vegas so, I had to check out his newest restaurant which opened this year, Zaytinya. I went for my birthday which calls for a special meal. Unfortunately, I left feeling disappointed. Their website described Zaytinya as "Zaytinya's menu reflects the rich regional diversity of classical Turkish, Greek, and Lebanese cuisines. Starting with authentic ingredients and traditional techniques." I've had amazing Turkish, Greek and Lebanese food from friends of that heritage and restaurants I've been to. Zaytinya's interpretation of those cuisines took a nose dive when it comes to flavor. HALLOUMI PIDE: They have 4 kinds of pide, a Turkish flatbread usually stuffed with cheese, spinach, za'atar and spiced meat. This has Turkish tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, halloumi cheese, and chives. This was not pide! It was more like cafeteria pizza. 1/5 OCTOPUS SANTORINI: Grilled mediterranean octopus, marinated onions, capers, and yellow split pea purée. The octopus was properly cooked. The flavors were good. But it's nothing special 3/5 CELEBRATION RICE: Crispy tahdig, buttery basmati rice, saffron, almonds, pistachios, dried cherries, spiced braised chicken. There's not much flavor and this dish is supposed to be tasty! 1/5 GREEK YOGURT AND APRICOT: Muscat soaked apricots, vanilla yogurt cream, pistachio powder. A light and refreshing dessert. 4/5 TURKISH COFFEE CHOCOLATE CAKE: Molten center Valrhona chocolate cake, roasted pistachios, Turkish coffee syrup, mastic ice cream. Rich and a good portion. You get sweet, bitter, hot, cold and different textures. 3.5/5 The interior is nice. Service was okay. I keep coming back to Jose Andres' restaurants but this will be a one and done.

Let's just say the food was so good that after visiting I went home and got the chefs cookbook. There are so many unexpected flavors that make the dining experience here really exciting. The waiters are helpful with deciding what would be good for the table - the kebabs and brussel sprouts are not to be skipped. The cocktails are another element where unexpected flavors were featured and I just couldn't get enough!

I hate to write one star reviews, but Zaytinya was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had all the way around. I came here over a month ago for my birthday, and I left very disappointed. What I hated the most was to spend almost $300 on a very mediocre meal. From what I've heard in restaurant news, Zaytinya is suppose to be a similar dining experience to Bazaar Meat by José Andrés at the Sahara. But sadly, I can tell you firsthand that Zaytinya is nowhere close to Bazaar Meats. Not even close! I can tell by the service alone that they were trying way too hard to impress their first guests. And unfortunately, by doing that they ruined the whole experience for me and my husband. First off, a server doesn't need to tell their customers to leave a review. I see that as very unprofessional and if a guest wants to leave a review, they will decide if they want to do that. The way the menu is laid out is tapas style, and I can tell you that's not a good idea for mediterranean style food. I ordered an array of food that was recommended by my very eager waitress and those weren't good choices. Even though my waitress was friendly, I seen her and the water person, the bread person and the food runner and the busser come to my table every 5 to 10 minutes within the hour that I was there, and it was very disruptive. As I was trying to enjoy a date night with my husband. I was not able to relax because of the constant interruption. But I would say the worst part of my meal was the food. Almost everything that was ordered was poorly executed, especially the meat and seafood dish we had as our main course. My husband ordered some type of steak and it was supposed to be done, medium, but sadly it was well done and because of it, was very tough and hard to eat. And sadly, it also lacked flavor. I ordered a side of shrimp and a garlic sauce and I can't believe that they did not cook the shrimp all the way it tasted horrible so I only ate about two and left the rest. Aside from the meat dishes, we ordered Tzatziki and a side of hummus, and it did not taste any better than your corner Greek restaurant in town. We also had the smoked beet salad and the falafel and dolmades and there was nothing special about it. I can tell you I've definitely had better elsewhere. I think the only thing I liked was the spanakopita which is a spinach and cheese wrapped in phyllo dough. My only advice to anyone that's going to pay almost $300 for a meal for a special occasion, is to make sure you do your foodie homework before making reservations. I've been to plenty five star restaurants in fabulous Las Vegas and I promise you Zaytinya is not one of them. I hate to say this, but I don't see Zaytinya staying open for long because people will realize it's just overpriced Mediterranean food. Friends, do yourself a favor and don't believe all the hype. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Mike is the best server!!! Food and ambiance were awesome. My friends and I had a great time.

Love the aesthetics of the restaurant as well as the wide variety of menu items. Shared the tzatziki, vegetables, horta salata, bread, celebration rice with chicken, kofte kebab. The kebab and chicken were definitely the highlights, the meats here were so well done. Food came out quite quickly with the apps first, and our server was quite helpful in helping us decide how much to order.

Zaytinya is a Mediterranean Restaurant by JOSÉ ANDRÉS located in the Forum Shops in Caesar's Palace. Parking is easy as can be by the $7.00 valet and the restaurant is very close to the entrance. It beautiful and modern looking inside. They also have a bar area. It was very slow during the week and the hostess sat us at a small table in the middle of the room. It made me feel like I was floating in the middle of a sea of tables. It felt even more uncomfortable when she sat a table behind me in a big empty room. Anyways - Short Story - Mostly Very Good but not perfect. Longer Story - The food we tried - Complimentary Pita Bread - More like balloon Bread but VERY GOOD Hummus - Good flavors but very thick Grape Leaves - AMAZING The "Must Get Dish" Crunchy Vegetables - Really Great - Get Them Beet Salad - Very Good Brussels Sprouts - Good Flavors but very Dry Brussels Sprouts tonight Meatballs - Interesting Very Good Salmon - 2/3 amazing but 1/3 of the fish was BLOODLINE (my first bite I thought I was eating old bad fish but then I noticed that I was eating bloodline. Usually in nicer restaurants they remove the bloodline. Here the piece of fish was so thin and small that it was 1/3 bloodline. That doesn't seem right to me.) Not sure if I can recommend the salmon. Olive Oil Cake - Very Good Greek Yogurt with Cherry - Very interesting and very different Service was very welcoming but many plates came too quickly. The server and management were very apologetic about that and offered complimentary champagne that I turned down. They did serve us the extra dessert. My husband was far more upset than me about how fast the plates flew out before we were done with plates. I felt that the server tried to be as nice as possible to us.

The food was sooo good. We had the octopus, grape leaves and salmon and each plate was better than the last. Dessert was the chocolate cake and ice cream - so yum. Caleb was our server and he was also amazing. Highly recommend and will definitely be going back.

Beautiful new restaurant with a great happy hour! Our awesome bartender, Victor, was very knowledgeable about the menu, cocktails, and the restaurant in general and helped us along our foodie journey. Everything we tried was delicious, from the Halloumi Pide (flatbread with cheeses and Turkish tomato sauce), to the chicken, eggplant, and olive oil cake (see pics). Victor did a wonderful job explaining the nuanced flavors and gave us a sample of a new mocktail on the house, which paired perfectly with our dessert! Upscale but comfortable ambiance, gorgeous decor and attention to detail, even in the restrooms! Truly wonderful experience, can't wait to go again.

The food was very good, but portions were quite small for the price. Lamb shoulder was DELICIOUS

Cute spot for Mediterranean food. We ordered a flatbread Halloumi Pide, which was delicious, along with the family-style kebab platter and the whole fish. We chose these dishes based on the server's recommendation that they would feed 3-4 people. The portions are on the smaller side. We finished the meal with the Greek yogurt and apricot and the olive cake. The restaurant has a great vibe and color scheme. The service was good with no complaints.

Food is special and very tasty, the service from Dudley was top notch very happy with that kind of service make customers return, we sat by the Bar area and we have a nice look to the whole restaurant, the host at the front was super nice and kind to fix us a table near the bar area as our request, we highly recommend this place, WILL BE BACK SOON.

Amazing and outstanding dining experience. We were blessed to have Elena be our server. Kind, warm and efficient. Her recommendations were the best! The entire team was fantastic!

We love Zaytinya! We were introduced to it in Washington DC and have been hoping for one to open closer to us. When we saw they had opened in Vegas, we knew we had to go during a recent trip. The food is always amazing! On this visit we got: the hummus (which they serve with 3 fresh fluffy pita), spanakopita, ground lamb kebab and the coffee molten cake. We also got 1 espresso martini and 1 ouzo. If we had had more space, we would have gone with the falafel. It was much quieter than I expected for such a busy shopping center but maybe people just don't know how much of a gem this place is yet! Definitely recommend going and enjoying a night out!

Despite Zaytinya just opening when we went, the service was very attentive (though we had to wait at the host stand for a few minutes before anyone even acknowledged us). Our food was incredible and our server was so nice and accommodating to our toddler. It helps that he has a kid of his own :) Sometimes these celebrity chef restaurants are a disappointment, but Jose Andres really knows his stuff and the flavors were unique and upscale Greek/Turkish/Lebanese. I found out later that many of my friends have been to the locations in NYC and DC so they must be doing something good at Zaytinya!

Alycia is a very sweet waitress and she loves her job and knows the menu by heart! The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has great vibes!! I love the scallops and shrimp and all the amazing sauces. The Brussels sprouts are sautéed and gluten free! 5 stars for the entire experience

Beautiful new restaurant in Las Vegas. I went to go visit on my birthday before the Fourth of July holiday. I found the service to be so pleasant and welcoming as we came in and checked at the host station. Our server was so accommodating and lovely. We got there an hour early for happy hour, which included small plates and some drink options and great pricing. The place is modern, warm, comfortable, and wonderfully thought out. I often judge restaurants on the restroom , I know a little weird, but hey, it's a thing. The restroom is super cool design, lighting is key and clean. The restaurant's menu is set up by small plates along with some entrées and the drinks are beautifully crafted. I enjoyed my margarita very much and the puffed pita is super nice innovated presentation. I would definitely go back again as they told me they're changing it up to make it a little more lively in the evenings with a DJ. Congratulations on your restaurant!

Have happy hour at bar, excellent food and service. Inside Ceasars right at Street level of Forum shops . Bread they give you is soft and fluffy.

We made a late reservation here after arriving back from out of the country. We had been to the D.C. location for brunch almost one year ago and it was fabulous. Tonight we arrived and were warmly greeted. We were a little surprised that it wasn't packed as it was a Friday night in Vegas. The ambience was nice and the staff was friendly and doted on us. The waiter helped us choose a bottle of wine (Kir-Yianni Naoussa) in our price range from Greece and it went well with the food. We shared: Hommus Kawarma, H'tipiti, Tabbouleh, Shish taouk, Adana Kebab, rice, and pita bread (warm, pillow-like, fresh). For desert we shared the olive oil cake ( good, but probably too much food at that point). All of the food was delicious and evoked memories of our D.C. visit. Its always hard to choose from the varied dishes, but getting the small plates allows us to share a more varied selection. The restaurant is hard to find in its current location (poor Forum Shop signage at times), but worth the hunt. We look forward to returning soon.

Had reservations for three on a Saturday night including the wife and my adult son. Overall we had a wonderful experience as the service was exceptional and the food was fantastic. This is pretty much a tapas-style restaurant so we shared multiple dishes. We started with the spanakopita, falafel, Zaytinya fries and soujouk flatbread. The falafel was perfectly tender on the inside with a crunchy exterior. The fries were well seasoned and the flatbread was very good. There's a runny egg on top with delicious sausage and cheese. The only dish I wasn't thrilled with was the spanakopita. Instead of the thousands of flaky layers that makes this dish unique and so delicious it was more like a pastry crust that I found to be overly greasy. The filling was quite good but just got lost in the flabby exterior. Side note - they bring out a basket of complimentary fluffy homemade pita bread after you order and will continue offering to bring more. It's so good we had to say no after round two for fear of ruining our appetites for the rest of the meal! My wife ordered a tomato and cucumber salad which had that same bread used as croutons. Very tasty! The three of us split the kebab platter as an entree and added the octopus. The kebabs are highly recommended - there were two styles of lamb (sausage and diced), one chicken and one beef meatball. They're accompanied by grilled blistered Roma tomatoes, sautéed onions and peppers and a little parsley salad. All were exceptional! The octopus was super tender and was on a bed of pea purée. Also definitely recommended! For dessert we shared the olive oil cake and the Turkish coffee chocolate cake. Both were delicious and a great was to finish the meal. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and had a distinct Mediterranean vibe. We were seated at a very comfortable corner booth. Dinner for three was $272 before tip which included two excellent glasses of Greek wine, two soft drinks and a double espresso with the two desserts after the meal. We had lots of yummy leftovers to bring home which I devoured the next day LOL.

Love, love, love Jose Andres. Zaytinya for us was a mixed bag. Some dishes were inspired, some fell flat. First off, the decor was stunning. It felt like a calm evening in a beautiful backyard in the Mediterranean. Appetizers/spreads: came with warm, delicious pita -Baba ghannouge: the best thing we ate. Must order. -Hummus: solid. -Red pepper feta: great. -Tzatziki: meh. Kinda watery. -Spanakopita: great. -Fries: solid. The dip was very good. -Seared halloumi: meh. -Octopus: excellent and tender. Mains: kinda disappointing -Whole fish: excellent. Perfectly cooked with great flavor and crispy skin. -Lamb chops: not tender and lacked flavor. -Steak: also not tender, despite being medium rare. Also bland. Dessert: overall disappointing, too?! -Chocolate cake: fine, nothing to write home about. -Greek yogurt: missing the yogurt tang? Maybe I wasn't the target audience for this because I live for the tangyness of yogurt. The yogurt part just tasted like fluffy vanilla. The servers were wonderful and very professional. There were some kinks in the service that I'm sure will be sorted out in the coming weeks. We all thought the service was actually a bit too proactive; multiple servers were always asking in quick succession to take away dishes while we were still enjoying them. The water glasses were also opaque so the servers had a hard time keeping them full for us. Pricing was very reasonable. We definitely over-ordered by a long shot and the total bill did not feel like extortion as is typical of Vegas. Cocktails were excellent and the wine list was so fun with loads of interesting Greek options. If you love mezze or girl dinner, you could also definitely go for a fun, light meal of spreads, delicious pita, and wine.

Zaytinya is located in The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. Definitely a convenient spot for my family and me to have a dinner on our first night of vacation, but it was a bit difficult to find coming from the hotel area - definitely a long walk (and we had a couple of older people in our group). We had a reservation, but still have to wait a bit for an open table - not a huge deal, it was only about 10 minutes or so. Decent service for the most part, but I feel like they are not the most attentive - sometimes we would have to request something 2 - 3 times for them to actually bring it. When we finally seated, we ordered a variety or different appetizers and entrees to share for our table. We ordered a 2 orders of each of their Cauliflower Tiganites, Celebration Rice, Kebab Platter, Octopus Santorini, and pita bread with some sort of dipping olive oil (not sure what this one is called). Definitely too much food and the food was decent, but it was a good time.

I have a really hard time eating out because most places cook with inflammatory seed oils like canola and vegetable oil and that does not work for me! But this place? They were so accommodating. The chef actually came out to talk to us and made sure we could eat here. Everyone was super helpful, kind, and willing to make changes so we could enjoy our meal. They seriously went above and beyond. The service was amazing. The first night I had Bianca and the second night I had Elena both were fantastic! Highly recommend requesting them. The food was so good. We left full, happy, and not disappointed at all. I also don't drink, and they had some really unique mocktails that were actually fun to try. Also the prices were reasonable and the ambiance was beautiful! We come to Vegas all the time--this is officially one of our new favorite spots!

There was incredible service at the restaurant and I can't wait to come back! Everything looked splendid on the menu, as it was a mix of dips, spreads, small bites and protein. (I would also say it's vegetarian-friendly because of the appetizers.) We got the red pepper spread, got many helpings of pita, the soujuk pide, scallops and salmon. With a dining group of 3, I thought we got a pretty good taste of the whole menu. Next time I come back, I would love to try the adana kebab, lamb, and Tadig. The dessert -- Greek yogurt with ice cream -- was a fun way to clear the palate along with the carajillo which tasted like melted affogato.

My wife and I joined my son and his wife who are visiting from the midwest, for dinner tonight. We had warned them this could end up being very expensive to eat on the stip in Las Vegas. Boy was I wrong. Their price to portion ration was excellent as we order family style sharing portions. The quality of the food was top-tier and presentation excellent. Thw blending of flavors from the different Mediterranean cultures was flawless. Our server Nicholas was of the highest caliber. He presentation of the options and knowledge of the food was first class. My daughter-in-law has a specific food allergy and he quickly clarified with the chef this would not be an issue. Nicholas and his assistants took care of us, as if we were the only patrons in the place. Magnificent! The decor and lighting were spot on. Elegant without being snobbish. Lighting was perfect, to allow clear color presentation of the food, without washing-out the room or creating any glare. We had a wonderful time.

If you've eaten in Michelin star restaurants, and know good food from just 'meh food, this place is not for you. But the majority of folks don't regularly drop $400.00 for dinner for 2 in fine dining spots, and that's why the majority of folks live this restaurant. I was actually hoping for better, seeing hire it's a Jose Andres restaurant, but was sadly disappointed along with my husband. We Will definitely not be back. And please don't ask us to come back for another meal we won't enjoy. On our way to Jaleo now. At least we can count on them having a few off our favorite things.

We often stay away from the strip due to the higher tourist prices, but I have to say every single thing we ordered here was delicious and the staff was great. Absolute must to take those friends and family coming in town who want to be on the strip.

Across the atrium from Joe's at the forum shops, the place was pretty quiet at 7:45 on a Saturday night but did get busier as the night went on. The manager did come over later asking how we had learned of the place and she seemed almost surprised so guessing the slowness may be a bit by design as they ramp up. One other note on the staff: they all seemed genuinely happy to be working there. And they all spoke very highly of Jose Andres which I really liked. The tasting menu is not in the regular menu so you will need to ask for it. Also, the person I was eating with is allergic to shellfish so we asked if they could swap out the shrimp with anything else. Lead to some conversation in the back as pretty sure it's the fire time this had come up, but they gave us a lamb tenderloin dish as a replacement and it was great. at $90 on the strip in Vegas felt like it was a great value, add in the wine pairing, 4 glasses for $45 and definitely feel like I got my money's worth. First, olive oil and pomegranate molasses with fresh pita Don't know enough about wines to give much detail and I didn't take notes, but it was a geek sparkling wine to start, made "exclusively" for Jose's restayrants. Crisp but not overly dry and not over carbonated either. Of the first courses, while all good the baba ganoush (with the pomegranate) was the star for me, and the tabbouleh was also noteworthy. Course two was another Greek white. The stars of this round was the spanikopita and the lamb loin substitute for the shrimp. Third course switch to a pretty full bodied red, which I liked but was too much for my white-wine loving friend. Both the chicken and the lamb were fantastic. For dessert, an Italian dessert wine, to me similar to a port and very tasty. Also the Greek yogurt and cherry parfait (more sweet and less sour than I'd expect from the greek yogurt description, but the fruit was great) and olive oil cake, which my friend aptly described as being the best version of a strawberry short cake he'd ever had.

One of the best meals I've had! Food was great, we ordered a bunch of items to share and everything was really excellent. Music wasn't too loud and the place wasn't too dark. Our sever Elena was delightful and helpful. Highly recommend!

It's such a treat to finally have this restaurant in Las Vegas. I have enjoyed it in both NYC and DC and the Vegas location absolutely delivers the same magic. Mediterranean dining at its best with a beautiful mix of Lebanese, Greek, and Turkish flavors, all executed perfectly. The service is warm, attentive, and knowledgeable with spot-on recommendations. The meze menu is a must, order several items to share, then add a few main dishes for the perfect family-style meal. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Do not miss their cocktails! Jose Andrés impresses once again with a restaurant that is vibrant, delicious, and memorable. All in all, 10 out of 10 and highly recommended for both Vegas locals and tourists!

Beautiful simple ambiance, great staff service. All of the food was delicious and the cocktails were something special. I wish I could go back often, will have to settle for my next trip to Las Vegas.

The food was great. We got the Chef's Table Menu... it was enough for 2 people. The ambience was very nice.

Jose Andres group's new addition at Caesar's Forum shops is bringing authentic and unique Mediterranean flavors in a modern, formal setting. We tried the restaurant week menu and started with fluffiest and lightest Naan bread with sides of Hummus and Baba Ganoush that instantly transported my palate back to Cairo. We couldn't stop eating this Naan and had to hold back so we can enjoy more food. Next came the Smoked Beet Salata and the Horta Salata. The Smoked Beet Salata was just an okay salad with beets but the Horta Salata was so flavorful and the smoked olives and fava santorini stood out. Main course was the Shish Taouk (grilled chicken) and the Seared Salmon. The chicken was grilled to perfection and the sumac onions and garlic toum it was served with enhanced each bite perfectly. The Seared Salmon was seared expertly and the dill sauce with the pine nuts made this dish standout. Dessert was ok and the Olive Oil cake was just the right amount of sweet. Our waiter was excellent and the busser was overly eager to take our dishes but overall sevice was great. Menu looks exciting and I'm looking forward to trying more dishes.

I first dined at Zaytinya in DC several years ago, and had a fantastic experience. This time around at their newly opened spot in Vegas, it was good but didn't quite match DC. They are located in the area near Joe's, and next RPM Italian. We came here on the last day of Restaurant Week and opted for it at $60/pp. I won't go into detail on everything we had, but it was all solid. The pita bread is that on the house was great, as always. Other highlights included the stuffed grape leaves, salmon, meatballs, and the olive oil cake. Would I return? Probably not anytime soon. But I'm glad I tried Zaytinya in Vegas, and hopefully they can stick around for a while because this type of high-end Mediterranean food may not resonate with the typical tourist that visits Vegas.

Amazing experience made even better by our server Eric and all the staff! We were already very excited to try Zaytinya but all of the options for food and drinks made us even more excited to try anything and everything on the menu. From the freshly made pita and hummus all the way to the lamb we were enjoying every bite. Eric was extremely well versed with not only the food but the drinks as well giving us the best recommendations and even getting us to add a few extra things to the tasting menu ! The restaurant is extremely beautiful as well, definitely living up to the Jose Andres standard. We definitely have already made plans to return and are looking forward to it!

I lived in the Middle East for 20 years and I have never had Middle Eastern food this good! Wonderful restaurant, fantastic food, and excellent service! I highly recommend!

Amazing place. The service was great; the waiting staff were very friendly and attentive. The food is delicious and the fresh pita bread is an added bonus. It was so good. The raw kibbe is perfect. I think it was the best dish that we tried.

Beautiful, gorgeous space with a menu to match! I've been to the location in WDC and was hoping against hope this would live up to that since it's one of my absolutely favorite restaurants. Happy to say it did! The menu was a great mix of well-executed creativity with flavors that are familiar. We split mix of things: hummus, pita, kebab, rice, strawberry dessert. The food was great but it was the service that really made the experience. Everyone was kind and friendly! But the superstar of the night was Victor. Upon leaving, my guest had left their credit card in the folio and Victor RAN after us to give it back! That's commitment! Gold Star for Victor!

I love love middle eastern food. I have no problem spending top dollar for good food. This was simply not good food. The bland hummus topped with lamb (tasted like the most gamey mutton ever) was one of the worst dishes I've had in a long time. The atmosphere feels very corporate and cold. Jose is simply collecting the check and doesn't care at all about this place.

Went to the grand opening event and only got to try little bites, but I was so impressed with their shrimp (not shown) and falafel. The lamb lettuce cup and chicken skewers were tasty too. Beautiful restaurant with light Mediterranean inspired vibes. The female DJ they had playing at the event was so good! Later they passed out desserts which were all delicious and rich. Probably my favorite was the layered fruit Greek yogurt. Would love to go and try it for an actual meal soon.

We had a fantastic experience for our 25th wedding anniversary this past weekend. The hostess Bronwyn was just the sweetest. I made the mistake of thinking I could walk from the Cosmopolitan where we were staying to Caeser's Palace in high heels and by the time I got there I was suffering. Bronwyn kindly provided me with 2 bandaids, I would say that is over and above service. It really made my night. It's the little gestures that you remember. Elena was our waitress and she went above and beyond for us. The food was exceptional, the hummus with lamb and shrimp were delicious. Big shout out to Bronwyn and Elena, thank you to you both xxx

Not great food. Bland flavors. Over priced. Bread was not good at all. Unfortunately I have not liked any of joses restraunts.

We LOVED our dining experience at Zaytinya! The decor is chic and unique, intriguing and calming. The music was a bit too loud but everyone was accommodating and had we asked, they probably would have turned the volume down. Food was exceptional- so many flavors to delight the palate. Wish we had Zaytinya in Atlanta! Thank you Caleb and Bianca

Food was amazing and authentic. Our table ordered Hommus, Falafel, Fattoush, Crunchy Vegetables, Cauliflower Tiganites, and the Turkish Coffee Chocolate Cake as dessert I would say that everyone should order the Crunchy Vegetable bowl with their meal, it comes with lots of nice things that can be eaten and enjoyed with everything. The Hommus was very good, probably one of my favorites, and very authentic. I took some mint leaves from the Crunchy Vegetable bowl and added them to the Hommus and ate it all with the complementary pita bread and it was amazing. The Falafels were very good but they were very small. I would recommend eating them with Hommus for sure. The Fattoush was amazing. Though its not real Fattoush (ours traditionally has LOTS of vinegar), it tastes exactly like the salad my Syrian parents make me at home so I have no complaints. The Cauliflower Tiganites were very good and fried to perfection. The Turkish Coffee Chocolate Cake was very good but if you don't like dark/ bitter chocolate it might not be for you. I would also reccomend brushing off the salt from the top of the cake but its not a big deal and overall I really enjoyed it. We visited two times so far and both times the servers were extremely nice- service was great. The restaurant is beautiful, elevated, and elegant. Most of the time, in my opinion, nice looking restaurants usually have the worst food but I was really happy to see that the restaurant was gorgeous and the food was great
