Zaytona Grill

Absolutely amazing addition to the neighborhood! The food tasted like a true home-cooked Mediterranean meal — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love and care. Every dish we tried was delicious and perfectly seasoned. The service was outstanding, and Joseph and his family are truly fantastic — warm, attentive, and incredibly welcoming, making the whole experience feel like dining in a family home. The atmosphere is cozy and family-friendly, perfect for any occasion. If you’re looking for authentic Mediterranean food and genuine hospitality, you need to try this place. Highly recommend!

This new spot has only been for 4 months, but are already creating a loyal group of clients, including us after checking them out! One of chef’s unique talents is his ability to cook as if it were his first language. When younger in his native country, each time he entered the kitchen, the aroma of bread and spices revealed a different tale. Now, Zaytona Grill was established to serve memories. Chef came to share with you the warmth of family, the honesty of heart, and the taste of home, created with love. The space is bright and warm at the same time with delicious food made fresh daily!! I fell in love with the first taste of the hummus with their fresh made warm pita bread. The baba Ghanoush was also so unique from others I’ve tried and so delicious! The kabobs were fantastic with the sides and the sandwiches were so good! And I cannot say enough about how amazing the falafel and kibbeh was!! And the mixed manoush was fantastic!!!! And all the house-made desserts were sooooo gooood! We absolutely are coming back, sharing this location with friends and family, and even catering to our jobs to share with our peers!

Came here with my partner for lunch, great service, server very passionate. Very authentic and fresh Mediterranean food. I absolutely loved it. And because it was happy hour we had complimentary Turkish coffee at the end of our meal. We will be regulars here forsure!

Family owned small business that will knock your socks off! Don’t miss your opportunity to check out this Mediterranean masterpiece in our backyard! We ordered the Beef Kabob with rice, hummus, tabbouleh, and Carrot Salad (yes, everyone is raving about it for a reason). The tabbouleh is one of the best we’ve had, the carrot salad was deliciously designed with sweet, tangy, and spicy intertwined in a wonderful side dish. The hummus was thick and creamy! Overall, this is a must try location! Don’t pass up an opportunity to check this place out!

Small and cozy place but the flavor of their food is really big! Wow, what a great surprise to find this place to eat really good Mediterranean food! The attention to details is great and everyone is very amicable and helpful… they gave me a small carrot salad to try and wow, it was delicious, definitely a must when in this restaurant. Totally recommend and please please try their Baklava with the Dubai chocolate I’d to die for!!! Will be back for sure (many times)

First time visiting while I was in town, and it did not disappoint. I ordered the beef shawarma with the zaytona salad and hummus on the side—everything was so good. It was happy hour, so I even got a free fresh-squeezed orange juice with my meal and a complimentary herbal tea to go. Service was fast and excellent. Can’t wait to come back the next time I’m in Miami!

Absolutely loved this place! The food was incredibly fresh and clean-tasting — you can truly tell the ingredients are high quality. Every dish tasted authentic, perfectly seasoned, and not heavy at all. The spices were spot-on and balanced beautifully. The service was just as impressive as the food. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the menu, which made the experience even better. On top of that, the restaurant itself is adorable and welcoming. The prices were great! Especially for the quality of food and service you get. This is real Mediterranean food done right — I’ll definitely be back!

Wow!! This new spot in Kendall is THE BOMB! I’ve been wanting some delicious Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food closer to me and my prayers have been finally answered with Zaytona Grill. The food is always fresh, the portions are big and the menu options are so good. The customer service?? It’s the best! My boyfriend and I have been twice and we will definitely be regulars here now. Highly recommend it!!

This restaurant is fantastic! We stopped by for lunch and were delighted with the meal and the service. We were immediately greeted when we walked in by a polite gentleman that provided excellent table service. He was attentive and offered to answer any questions we may have had. He also made suggestions that ended up being spot on. We started with hummus. We also had the beef shawarma with tabbouleh & Greek salad and Kefta with Tabbouleh & baba ghanoush. The waiter also gave us some sweet carrot salad. YUUMMM! The delicious food came out quickly. Everything was delicious! We ended with the house made cheesecake. It's a MUST try!!! It's not too sweet and had such a creamy texture, it was divine. I can honestly say it's one of the best I've had. We will definitely be back!

We stopped at Zaytona Grill for a quick meal and loved the food. This is a need restaurant to Kendall and I'm super happy that we discovered it. Their food is very fresh and tasty. One item I would skip is the baklava, the portion is extremely tiny.

What a lovely lunch spot. I used to come here when it was another restaurant and was sad when I learned it had closed.. not so much anymore.. this place was so good.. The food.. Mediterranean was fresh and flavorful as Mediterranean food should be. Good value too - I ordered the rice bowl with the chicken shawarma and it came with 3 sides so I was able to try the Somoza and the zaytona salad and the tabbouli .. each more delicious than the next. Herbacious and really.. plenty to take home for later. We saw a lot of to go orders but the service was nice.. helpful.. unpretentious just good people serving good food. Can't wait to go back and try the desserts.. ohhh did I mention there is a small market in site? With lots of Mediterranean staples and a few surprises. If you haven't had the chance to try Mediterranean food before this is a great place to start- if you haven't, this won't disappoint. Thanks Zaytona. I'll be back- save me a seat.

Went to do some business here in this new location. The staff was very friendly and very nice being a Mediterranean restaurant. This is one of my favorite foods and they didn't disappoint great hummus fresh and they also had whole chick Peas very authentic. The owner had me tried this side dish with carrots and raisins. It was really good and I had two Kibe since this was my lunch. the menu looks really good and good prices. The appetizer platters look really good yummm Kibe were so yummy and authentic love that flavor and were hot perfect! A location with tables and you can see them prepare the food in their food displays. Try the pita trust me!! Service really nice and food was really fresh . Coming back for sure !

Found this place on yelp, really clean, helpful staff. Ordered the chicken shawarma with fries, it was delicious! The pita was good also. I received a carrot salad that I've never had but will be returning for that! Nice to have a different cuisine in the area! Can't wait to go back!

Amazing food and service !!! Great ambiance too. I will definitely come back. recommend it

Perfect cozy family restaurant with great food. We know most of the Mediterranean restaurants in South Miami Dade and this really was a better experience. Half the price: twice the real food. Good lentil soup with that hard to get flavor. All other dishes were spot on. Home cooking and a great menu. And the place is spotless. And Joseph was very attentive.

Very delicious Palestinian/ Mediterranean food! Very good and authentic. Have brought my whole family here and they all loved it! Great service everyone is very nice (:

Stopped here on a whim and I'm so happy I did! Everything I tried was really good, the people who work here are also very welcoming and nice. A+ for the service!!

Yummy food. I stopped by for some quick take out. Super clean and very friendly staff. The aroma when you walk in is just delicious. Glad to have this option in Kendall!

Best Mediterranean food our family has ever had. Friendly service. We've been here a couple of times and we've ordered out once, and every item we've had has been outstanding. Sweet carrot salad, hummus, falafel, grape leaves, shawarma. You can't go wrong. Portions are generous.. Everything is delicious, and the owners make you feel like family. Highly recommend.

This little restaurant/cafe the ambiance is amazing family and Mediterranean look and feel on the inside. The staff is always amazing, helpful and informative. The cuisine here is amazing. Joseph is an amazing waiter and always has a good collection and ideas of what to do. I never read the menu. I always just ask to make me something special and he never seems to disappoint me. Everything is cooked to perfection. This is a little hole in a while. Place may be a little out of your way for some people, but it is definitely worth trying and experience. I highly recommend the food here, especially the desserts. Everything is homemade. Nothing is store bought.

The food is SO good and very fresh. Don't debate it...just plan to eat dinner here. My husband and I ordered Beef shawarma, Chicken shawarma, hummus, grape leaves, fries, and pistachio baklava with ice cream. No exaggeration, it's delicious. The owners are super nice as well.

Delicious palestinian food. The owners are from Nazareth. The hummus was incredible. Falafel pita was delicious with pickled turnips. I got turkish coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. The fries are cut fresh with palestinian spices . They also have a small market with grains spices dairy olive oil etc. Highly recommended if youre in the area.

I have been here twice so far. Very clean professional place. Very fresh authentic food. And kind service. I am glad they are close to me.

Zaytona just opened and I'm so glad! Sometimes you're just craving some tabbouleh and don't wanna make it yourself (me) and now there's somewhere nearby that I can get a craving fix! They're Palestinian owned and we don't have enough in Miami!!

THIS PLACE IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST. The food was excellent - from the kibbeh to the shawarmas - you won't be disappointed.

Stumbled across their IG page and its right by my house so we went for lunch and wow. First off, they were very welcoming! The little market they have is full of authentic Mediterranean goods. All the food we ordered was amazing! From the Zaytona fries to their hummus to their flatbread! My husband order a fried pita chicken wrap and it did not disappoint! Will definitely be returning. I love local finds with warm, positive vibes and kind, friendly staff!
