Zeeyum Kitchen

My husband and I had dinner at Zeeyum and loved this new experience. The restaurant is lovely and clean with busy staff who are friendly and helpful. We experienced Raki for the first time, and I loved it even though I'm not a big fan of the aniseed flavor in general. This drink was surprisingly smooth and novel to us. Our entrees were so fresh and the presentation was beautiful. This is a dining experience where you can see that the owner cares about excellence and quality. We will be back.

We had the chicken and beef with rice. It was delicious in flavor. The chicken wrap and the pide was also on point. The service and warm atmosphere is another plus. I will be coming back soon. A++++++

My dad and I ate at Zeeyum for the first time last night and it was the best food we've had in Greensboro in a long time! The staff was wonderful. A man and a woman that I presume (but not certain) are the owners were great; explaining things on the menu and a very funny story about why Raki is called "Lion's milk." If you like anise, try the Raki along with the Meze Plate! Amazing! For entrees my dad had the Bugu Kebab with lamb and I had the Veggie Pide- both outstanding. For dessert we split the baklava sampler plate. Don't skip dessert. We ate too much but enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Greensboro foodies, do not sleep on this place! I'll be back soon.

Always an amazing experience. The owner goes above and beyond to make sure you had the best experience possible. He went to every single table and chat with everyone. 👏 The food is good as well. Chicken wrap was a bit mild for me and we tried something new which was different. It was turkey bacon with dates inside and the green sauce they served with that was extremely spicy but so good. 🥵 👌 Live singing, amazing selection of desserts, friendly owner- what more could a customer want. Highly recommended. Everything Halal

Not sure what the other "Karen's comment" was about but the food here blew me away. Looks like a family owned restaurant to me. The Lamb Bugu, which I never found anywhere before, was perfect, balanced and flavorful! The desserts were not too sweet that I would have almost finished everything if I hadn't had dinner with friends later. I can't recommend it enough. Just look at the photos.

This place is my new favorite in NC. We ordered Adana durum, pide with kofte, eggplant salad and pita chips. All of them were very delicious and authentic. Service is quick, staff is very friendly, portions are generous,and restrooms are very clean. 10/10.

Oh my God! The best kebab I’ve had in my life so far! The service - exceptional! The food - DE-LI-CI-OUS! Everything was chefs kiss! I highly recommend this place! 🤩❤️

We drove from Jamestown to try the lamb shawarma platter and the chicken salad and a dessert we saw on the menu. We made it there at 8:40pm Sunday and it says on google they close at 9pm when I got there to double check the host inside told me the grill was already turned off and they don’t take orders after 8:30pm if it’s like that than they should put that on google and inform the customers therefore we don’t waste our time after 8:30pm to even make the drive to Greensboro and try out the restaurant. I’ll just stick with Sarah Kabobs.

First time at Zeeyum kitchen! It was so delicious and authentic. I will definitely be back. I ordered the Lions milk as a drink and it was awesome. If you love aniseed you absolutely must try it! For food I ordered a cheese dip appetizer and a gyro. Both were yummy! Overall great place I will definitely be back for more!

Z is such a great guy. When he first started the food truck, it was all about his love of his food and sharing it. Since he's open the restaurant it reflects that warmth as does the amazing food. Great space with ample seating. There are many Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurants in The Triad. This one is definitely another great one and different from others with its delightful Turkish twists. Very early on the food truck, he made his now famous Z's salad (that is legendary but being vegetarian I asked if he could do falafel, in place of chicken, which he did, and it became part of his menu. The bourek is amazing. Great choices for vegans, vegetarians and carnivores alike.

We've been here a few times now and everytime its really good. First, you have to get their hummus, its different somehow and much better than normal humas. Not as pasty, better mouth feel, better flavor, and served with deep fried pita crisps that are so good. We've had several different menu items, all have been very good. I do wish they offered fountain beverages instead of cans. Restaurant is clean, service is always good, food is fresh, but the hummus is next-level excellent! Go try it!​

Back for a second time and my youngest son now says it's his favorite restaurant. This place is a hidden gem! Both times we've eaten on a Thursday evening around 6:15 and sat right down. Family owned, authentic Turkish restaurant (decor and food) with lots of parking space. Both times we've eaten here, the owner has come out of the kitchen and made rounds, greeting and saying hello to each table. Love this! You can truly tell the staff wants you to enjoy the food and experience. We got a couple repeat dishes as well as tried a couple new ones. MUST try the cheese appetizer. Probably the best cheese I've ever had! The servers are happy to educated you and answer questions about their culture and the food.

Best food in Greensboro hands down! I'm a huge foodie, I've tried a lot of restaurants in Greensboro - and this by far was my favorite. Every single thing we ate blew me away, it was so fresh so flavorful, everything was cooked to perfection. We enjoyed really enjoyed the feta borek, it was insanely good. Wait till you get the dessert though, we had a Dubai chocolate cheesecake that they shipped in from Turkey that was killer but the real star of the show was the homemade baklava, it was juicy, crunchy and one of the best things I have ever tried. Will be definitely coming back! The service is really good, it's ran by a family and they were super nice. Everything came out in a timely manner, and overall 10/10!!!!!

Redirected when my first choice restaurant was full, I found this place without a lot of time to spare. It turned out to be a winner. A vegetarian menu yielded my falafel wrap, which was really a fantastic rendition with a cool mint sauce and just enough pickles vegetables and an abundance of falafel with just the right mix of moistness inside and crispness outside. A Turkish tea was a good way to wash things down. The dessert spread is the kind that would be hard to walk away from. I did not need dessert at the time, but walked out with a baklava that I ate later that was again texturally delightful, the soft and crispy layers being intermingled with chocolate and pistachio. There was quality on display, the vegetarian/vegan options were good, and I was happy with what I paid for such good food.

This gem of a restaurant is absolutely amazing!! The food is authentic, the service is on point and the atmosphere is Inviting and relaxing. I had the Chicken Rice Dish with Yogurt sauce and Pita bread, it was delicious!! I will definitely be returning to try more menu items.

I took my wife go Zeeyum kitchen last night for dinner. It was busy, so I'm glad I made a reservation. We had a Zee's. Chicken salad, chicken wrap and the Simit (Turkish bagel) with clotted cream and cherry sauce. The food was delivered hot and SO TASTY!! The chicken was perfect and the seasonings are miraculous. But the cherry sauce and clotted cream with the simit --- they are to die for!! We licked the plates clean! Do yourself a favor and try this place, it's a hidden gem! And get the simit as well, it's heavenly. Enjoy!

I had to stop and the time to give this review... I gave them a perfect score across the board back when they were in the city kitch. In this new location though... this is just stupid... this guy... literally brought his home and his heart into West Market in Greensboro. We are so lucky to have this here. Let's start by the decor and ambiance. Unbelievable how nice the interior is pieced together. Atmosphere is comfortable, lighting is perfect, the colors are soothing and inviting, and it's VERY SPACIOUS! The service... the ladies are unbelievably sweet, always look professional, and consistent service with a smile. They make you feel welcome! At first glance at the menu you might think, "it's a bit pricy". I'm a cheap person at times. I feel restaurants have priced themselves out of the market and taken advantage of this "inflation". But they could increase the price and I'd pay. DON'T FORGET! ***You're paying for an experience and a free trip into their home*** Honestly, anyone reading this review, I do not care where you are in the world. Make it a priority to come here! I promise, you will not have better turkish food in this state! I started with the dessert today. The milky baklava was exactly what I was hoping it would be, BUT BETTER. I can't believe they found a way to make baklava better! Then they took the overhyped, new trend, the Dubai chocolate bar and converted it into a moist, silky, heavenly goodness of Dubai chocolate cheesecake! I'm not a sweets guy by any means... but I put these away. And I feel zero shame! The desserts: 8/5 Next we got our main course. I always order multiple entrees. Today I got 2 new items! The kofte pide, and Sucuk with eggs. This will be my first criticism. I gotta be real folks, c'mon now! The eggs were a little over done. If it was runny, I'd give it a 7/5. But I'll settle with a 5/5 The kofte pide is great. For those that want it explained like you're 5, think of it like cheesy bread with his amazing top notch kofte! We also got the falafel wrap and the pide and falafel were top notch. Then the green sauce they add was amazing. I need a bowl of it! (I just called and asked and the owner created it! They call it green sauce. Make sure you get this with any dish! Kofte pide 5/5 Sucuk with eggs 5/5 (pro tip, ask for it runny, over easy) Falafel wrap 5/5 (get extra green sauce!) Alright, I think that about covers it! Thanks for coming to my Yelp talk!

Started with the Turkish Coffee! It was not to strong very creamy with a touch of sweetness. Then we had the borek with ground beef was warm flakey crust light and airy on the inside the beef brings in the flavor. Dipped in the sauce and I had the Sucuk with eggs a very simple dish the sausage had tons of flavor it cooked in with the oil which then season the rest of the plate. You will be scraping it up with your bread. We tried a couple of their desserts. The chocolate milky baklava was my favorite. Service was good. Our waitress was very knowledgeable. They had a little sitting area for you to drink tea or coffee. It was nice and the coffee and tea machine was pretty neat.

I was nearby in Winston Salem and decided on lunch on the way home. My wife wanted to stop in Greensboro, so we came to Zeeyum based solely on the reviews of my fellow Yelpers. We were warmly greeted by a hostess and promptly seated. The menu has a lot to offer, which I like. My wife got the chicken and rice entree and I got the steak wrap. For apps, I got some Falafel. The falafel was warm and quite flavorful and the pesto sauce was a great compliment. The steak wrap had incredible flavor and you can tell from the tenderness of the meat that it had been marinated. Awesome flavor in a warm wrap. It hit the spot just right. The chicken and rice were quite flavorful and tender as well. We had zero complaints with our meal. Yelpers have come through once again!

Everything was delicious. Service was great. The restaurant was busy on a Saturday night with medium noise level. Nice decor and tables creates a comfortable setting. Desserts look great but we didn't try this visit. Only thing I would change would to be to ask if the pita for the hummus to not be fried.

Amazing food. If you don't like Mediteranian food u will like this place.(rare) .Is this restaurant chained ?They also are with Turkish delight!(recommended.)semit.They have juice that in Amazon is $9 is only $ 2!

Impeccable service, fresh ingredients and pride show up prominently when you visit Zeeyum Kitchen. I've heard of their food before but wasn't too sure of how to find their mobile location. Imagine how thrilled I was today when I googled 'salad near me' to find that they now have a brick and mortar location that is less than 3 miles from my house. The Turkish music, beautiful, native furniture and decor, courteous, responsive, service minded family and staff are enough alone to bring me back even if the food was so so. However bag was far from the case. I ordered not Turkish tea, the melted cheese platter apppetizer, and the Kofte platter for my dine in experience. Needless to say as a party of one, to go boxes were necessary but only after I'd consumed as much as my appetite would allow. Purchased some wraps and chicken/rice for my teen back home and the car smelled absolutely wonderful by the time I pulled up in my driveway - few minutes later. One of the things I adore about this city is its history of strong, authentic international communities and flavors. If you're the same, be sure to add this brick and mortar establishment to your rotation. You can thank me later.

My Favorite restaurant in Greensboro . Healthy clean food made with Olive oil . For in house breads to amazing food feels like back home . A chef/ owner who makes it a point to always come to say hello to my family when we come. Cleanest food in Greensboro. I have a sensitive stomach but never have a issue when I eat at ZeeYum Vegan options

The food is always good! I will go back until I try everything on the menu. This time I got the Kofte Platter! It comes with Turkish meatballs with onions and tomatoes on a hot clay plate served with pita bread, rice, Z's salad and yogurt. The service is always nice and friendly. I like the way you get to learn traditions and about the ingredients that go into the dishes. Order tea and the server told me if I didn't need anymore tea to put the tea spoon on the top of glas. That's a part of the customs in Turkey and that's good to know. But it is always a good family vibe when I go there to eat. Remember if you're in the area, stop by and give it a try!!!!!

My dad and I ate at Zeeyum for the first time last night and it was the best food we've had in Greensboro in a long time! The staff was wonderful. A man and a woman that I presume (but not certain) are the owners were great; explaining things on the menu and a very funny story about why Raki is called "Lion's milk." If you like anise, try the Raki with the Meze Plate! Amazing! For entrees my dad had the Bugu Kebab with lamb and I had the Veggie Pide- both outstanding. For dessert we split the baklava sampler plate. Don't skip dessert. We ate too much but enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Greensboro foodies, do not sleep on this place! I'll be back soon.

My wife and I visited Zeeyum Kitchen at a recommendation of a friend. To say that we were blown away is an understatement. The shopping center where the restaurant is located is nondescript to a bit run down, but don't let that dissuade you! Once you enter you are transported to Istanbul itself. We both had borek as an appetizer and the Turkish meatballs as our entrees. Verrrryyy delicious and filling. Then the house baklava and Turkish coffee. While the food and ambiance were excellent, I have to say that the friendliness, warmth and welcoming atmosphere provided by the service staff and the owners were what made this a very special afternoon and a very special place.

Excellent across th board! We will be back as we want to try everything on the menu!!!

I asked one of my friends where to eat in Greensboro, and she highly recommended Zeeyum Kitchen! My boyfriend and I had never had Turkish food, but we were intrigued since we both love Greek food. We were immediately surprised by how nice the restaurant looks on the inside. It's decorated beautifully! The music also made for a great atmosphere. We both have small appetites, and our waitress suggested we could share one of the meals. We got Bugu Kebap (slow cooked lamb and vegetables within a layer of bread along with accompanying yogurt and a bean salad) which was a plenty of food for us. It was all very delicious! The lamb was tender and flavorful and we both also loved the bread. I like the tanginess of the yogurt and the bean salad with the lamb. This was a great experience, and I hope to go back and try the Turkish meatballs!

Flavor explosion!! Delish, fresh, superb Turkish food. Decided to give it a try for lunch because our AirBNB was close by. One taste and I wanted to have breakfast, lunch and dinner there everyday! And they do serve breakfast, lunch and dinner!! Nice size portions and a fair price. Would love to go back and try the Turkish coffee and have a dessert from their mouthwatering dessert case.

This is one of those places that ticks all the boxes you want in a restaurant. Authentic food, great service, genuine people, and reasonable prices. It is a Turkish gem! I have never been to Turkey nor have tried Turkish food and now I want to explore more of this cuisine. The highlight of the meal was definitely their pide. I was literally trying to figure out how this was homemade as I was eating it because it was just incredibly bouncy and airy. But a close second is their falafel and their baklava! The falafel was perfectly crispy outside and soft inside, and NOT dry. The baklava is not pictured here because we got it to-go, but it was my first time trying baklava and now I want more! They set the standard high on it. It's a family run shop and I hope they continue to be successful.

Great food and service. Love their new location. We wanted to eat light and got the Ottoman breakfast.. This is for two. Serving size is just right for sharing.

We did a take out order. The food was phenomenal! The staff was friendly and they were very prompt with the order. 100% would recommend.

A family run restaurant in the truest sense. You're greeted by Zee or his lovely wife, who also is the main server. His father will bring your meal and his mother will be making your Turkish coffee for dessert. There is a lot of heart in this restaurant and making your meal, and it shows. Authentic Turkish specials and now a very nice Turkish wine list. Zee will visit your table to check on you and answer questions. Meals are leisurely, but worth it. Save room for the baklava!

The service was great, however the waitress had on so much perfume my eyes watered. The food arrived quickly but unfortunately the texture of the meat was off putting and the taste was between dish sponge and wet rag. I really wanted to like it but I couldn't

This restaurant has it all. The food was out of this World. The server was extremely pleasant and very attentive. Did I say the food was out of this World?? Yes. and the ambiance was very Mediterranean. The food prices are right on par for fresh/quality food. You will not be disappointed with a trip to Zeeyum.

We waited 21 minutes for our order to be delivered, which felt quite long. The köfte wasn't as perfect as what we're used to eating in Turkey, but the taste overall was decent. The atmosphere was great, though! We visited around 12:30, and it seemed quite busy, which might explain the longer wait time. Hopefully, the service can be quicker during peak hours in the future.

Friendly service that took me back to Turkey. Delicious food and generous portions. They have a restaurant aside from the food truck. It's quiet with delightful Turkish music and hospitality. Will be coming back for sure. The chicken was slightly spicy to perfection. Everything was delicious. I wanted to try the entire menu

Staff and owners are so nice and awesome! The food is so flavorful and well-made. The eggplant dip, falafel and Turkish tea were perfection and me and my family will definitely be back!

Im a bit gobsmacked that I've lived here for almost five years and never new of the local treasure that is the City Kitchen. I'm also a bit speechless about how incredibly good one of their current tenants, Zeeyum Kitchen, is. The food is humble, yet sticks to your ribs, the tea is free and comforting, and the pide bread, made in-house, is dangerously addictive. The service, provided by the owner, is nothing short of five star - you can tell he cares about what he does, and he deserves every bit of promotion he can get. This is really traditional Turkish food served in a unique setting, miles apart from your typical Mediterranean spot. Truly a hidden gem.

One of the best mediterranean restaurants in the triad. Upon arrival we were greeted and seated. My friend and I ordered the borek with ground beef and the Kofte platter. I loved every dish that came with the kofte platter:turkish meatballs served on a hot clay pot, fresh baked pide bread, rice, yogurt and side of Z's salad. All the food we ordered came out fresh and very yummy. The restaurant is small and part of a mixed use commercial food service building but very clean and super cute. I would go highly recommend if you love turkish food!

I love this place. The food is tasty; the staff is wonderful; & the price is very reasonable. Everytime I go, I have a great experience. It is a small slice of Turkey in Greensboro and worth visiting!

Finally actual Turkish food! Everything was absolutely delicious, and I hope this restaurant grows and prospers. We will definitely be back and bring some friends.

The food was amazing and the service was outstanding! What a great find in Greensboro! We will definitely be back. Thank you, Zeeyum!

This place is amazing. I recently got a to go order. The food and service were impeccable. I'd recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Mediterranean food.

Amazing food! Chef takes pride in his food and you can feel the love that he adds! I think I've tried his entire menu and everything I had was amazing!

Enjoyed lunch in the sun and had Zeeyum for the first time. It wasn't a busy lunch crowd and service was quick. The food was delicious. The meat was heavily spiced but tasty. It was a food truck but the menu was easy to read and descriptions were helpful. They did a great job of parking so you could wait in the shade too! Definitely recommend.

Worst place if you're on a diet because everything is so f**king delicious and you cannot stop ordering more.

Wow. Very nice food. Turkish meatballs just right. Baklava and Turkish coffee. Wonderful. Late afternoon meal. Will definitely recommend and will be back.

Absolutely love this place!! Introduced my daughter to ZeeYums and she was satisfied! She had the steak and rice. I had the veggie and rice. Great service and great food!!

So happy we stopped into Zeeyum Kitchen! First- amazing customer service and experience. We walked in and wanted to order to go. The owner sat down with us and explained the menu. Z was so personable and truly cares about the food he's serving. We had tasty tea while we waited for the food. We tried a few different items off the menu- Kofte Platter, Pide, Lahmacun, Borek, and Z salad. Couldn't find anything wrong with any of them except we wanted more!! Highly recommend Zeeyum and we can't wait to go back and dine it to try more!

Incredible food and desserts! If you haven't eaten here, you are missing out. I will be eating here every week.

I'm not sure what it is, but Mediterranean food has had a choke hold on me lately. I was finally able to check this food truck out. I ordered the chicken salad (olive oil, feta, cooked onions and tomato) and it comes with pita bread. Everything was so fresh and so yummy and it was a great amount of food. I was only able to eat half of it. I also had the pistachio baklava. He made it fresh that morning. It was so flavorful and the pistachios are a nice touch on this classic dessert. Don't walk but run to check them out. Follow their IG page as well to find out where there will be. It's a wonderful way to support a small local business. You will not be disappointed. I definitely intend on going back to try some of their other items.

Went last Friday night for dinner. Completely fantastic food!! from apps to deserts! Not just great Mediterranean food - this is one of the VERY best restaurants in Greensboro!!!

Bruh every time i drive down here with my family! Their closed!! 4 times in a row! Last time (which's today) they had paper sign stating their closed due to family emergency or whatever while i can see people inside eating! Thank god Aladdin's shawarma was right in corner.

We were looking for Greek food by the Greensboro Complex, but wanted to try Turkish food instead. We walked into a lovely causal place that was exactly what we needed. I think we looked a little lost browsing the menu, because the owner, Z, came out and went through the menu with us. He was so passionate about his food that I wanted to try everything! For appetizers we ordered the feta borek, and I wished we got the beef too. They were so delicious, crispy and flaky with a perfect amount of cheese. These alone make it worth a trip. For entrees we ordered the falafel wrap, kofte platter, and sucuk with eggs. The falafel was served with a cilantro and tahini sauce that were very good. The sucuk and kofte platter come in clay pots, so that only added to the amazing presentation. If you come hungry or just want leftovers the kofte or bugu kebap (sold out the day we were there) are a must try. It comes with rice, yogurt, and Z salad on the side. Also, don't skip the Z salad. My husband normally doesn't eat a salad with onions, but devoured this salad. The kofte were made with beef and lamb, and you could tell the entire dish was made with love. The sucuk was really tasty, and makes a great brunch meal or breakfast for dinner. Everyone at the table loved the sausages in the dish. For dessert we had the forest fruit cake and a pistachio chocolate cake. All I can say is save room for dessert! If you made it this far, then stop reading and just go eat at Zeeyum Kitchen. You won't be disappointed. I know I can't wait to go back.

Highly recommend. We tried Zeeyum for the first time on a double date. It smelled great as soon as we walked in. We took our time and got recommendations from the owner who also gave tips on how to assemble and eat each dish. All of the food was delicious. Can't wait to go back.

I had just discovered Zeeyum Kitchen and went to try it and LET ME TELL YOU!!! The food was DELICIOUS and the homemade sauces were amazing! The service was outstanding. Make sure you check their social media pages Instagram or Facebook for the hour and locations as they are very good about keeping it updated. I will definitely be back :)
