Ziatun

This place looks amazing from outside, inside it s Arabic, colorful and comfy. The waiter was awesome, he came several time to take our order, explained and helped us choose dishes. It was very tasty without extreme spices. My cardamom coffee was good, tea too. We had the appetizer for 2, couldn’t finished. Fired vegetables and rices were delicious. Tons of choice especially for vegans.

Fantastic meal! Super cute little spot we found walking along the street. Everything was so delicious. Super recommend the halloumi platter and the mint lemonade. Will be back!

Excellent Vegan options!! Mushrooms as a substitute for Shawarma is a great choice. Can never go wrong with Foule, Humus and Falafel either! Service is always with a smile!

Every bite was mouthwatering, the za’atar fries were heavenly. Arabic coffee was so good! The atmosphere was really nice and sunny. Happy to support a Palestinian restaurant in town.

Had a fantastic time. Everything including the music was awesome! Rocky our server was super kind and showed us some of his favorites too, I had never had this kind of cuisine before and it was a great first time experience!

love Ziatun! the staff is so warm and hospitable. The food was flavorful and felt home cooked. The tea was delish, flavorful and hot . Favorite spot in Beacon

Ughhhh hate to do this but this place was just not that great. Lamb with no flavour. Pita was not fresh / borderline stale. Portion sizes were OK. Service was not super attentive - I had to advocate for my water / order. Overwhelming menu, could use a “specials” tab

I absolutely love this restaurant every time I dine here, it feels like a warm, home-cooked meal made with love. The flavors are rich, authentic, and comforting. Some of my top recommendations are the mint lemonade, the hummus with chicken, and their mezze platter appetizer, which is perfect for trying a variety of their delicious offerings. There’s truly something for everyone on the menu. Our experience was made even better thanks to Nico and Bowie. Nico, our server, described each dish beautifully and with such passion. His knowledge and enthusiasm for the food helped create a truly memorable dining experience. Bowie was equally amazing attentive, kind, and always making sure we were comfortable, with full water glasses and a clear table. Together, they made the evening feel so special. Thank you both for an unforgettable night we can’t wait to come back!

I've been here a few times- and although I'm not the biggest fan of Middle eastern food, I've never had something I didn't enjoy here. Their fries are always perfectly seasoned and wraps make for the perfect lunch. They do have some variety in different dishes they serve which is great because you'll have plenty of options! The staff is always kind and helpful every time I've gone. The place is rather small, so depending on the day and time you go there can be a bit of a wait time for a table. They also have a bit of outdoor seating which is nice in the summer time! Definitely pay them a visit!!

I've had better... The space -What looked like the potential to be a hidden gem was just OK. The space is very small, seating maybe 10-12 people total. The food-I already knew what I wanted, falafel, hummus, shawarma & okra stew. The falafel was dense in my opinion, the hummus was average, the okra was good but not great, I liked the flavor of the beef/lamb shawarma but my husband commented it was dry. The rice had cinnamon in it, & at first I didn't mind it but later it seemed to overwhelm the dishes. As far as the presentation everything looked great. Service- There was one person seating, taking orders & manning the register. He was looking on his phone a couple times which isn't a huge deal but when we wanted to order & check out we had to physically go & get him. There are some amazing places in NY to get Lebanese/middle eastern food, this place unfortunately is not one of them.

My partner and I journeyed to Beacon from the city for a day trip! Of course we had to enjoy a meal before we left! We heard good things about Ziatun, and since it was off-peak dining hours, we wanted to take our chances given Ziatun is a popular spot. Thankfully a table was open indoors as soon as we arrived! It is a small space with limited tables (even more limited as it gets colder out, since they had some tables outdoors). There were two staff members running the front of house, and were SUPER efficient that I was in awe! We ordered the - Addas soup (red lentil soup) - Falafel mezze - Chicken Shwarma wrap - Kofta burger with za'atar fries We were STUFFED by the end of our meal, but we have no regrets! The soup was delicious and perfect for a brisk fall day. The falafel had a crispy exterior and a good appetizer. Our entrees came out quickly after the apps. My boyfriend enjoyed his burger which came with a TON of fries, so both of us shared those throughout the night. The za'atar fries had a lot of seasoning. I loved my chicken schwarma wrap. The wrap stayed hot the entire meal, which I appreciated. The chicken was seasoned so well, and loved the pickled turnips and pickles in the wrap as well, giving some crunch and vinegar taste that balanced out the rest of the wrap flavors. Despite the restaurant being packed at only 4pm on a Sunday, the staff did an excellent job as they were super friendly, efficient, and attentive to all their customers. Loved my experience dining here!

Some of the best food I've had in a while. Awesome gluten free and vegetarian options. The fries are seasoned to perfection and not greasy at all. The seasonings and dips are amazing. I love the decor and the music. The staff is super nice and helpful with ordering. Their wait system is super efficient as well. I'm glad they're keeping busy and filling diners with amazing food. I wish I lived closer.

Really enjoyed my experience here. The staff were friendly and did a good job of managing busy restaurant, which was packed the entire time we were there. The atmosphere is cozy- you feel like you're being welcomed into someone's home. The food was great- well-seasoned and very filling. Recommend: Kofta Burger, Chicken Shawarma Wrap, Falafel, Addas (Lentil) Soup

Food 8/10 It was a 50 minutes wait but in the meantime, we got to explore the town. When we finally got seated, we ordered the chicken shawarma and kofta burger. The chicken shawarma had a nice char, was tender, and tasted so good with hummus and bita. The kofta burger was also quite delicious, their fries had a seasoning that made me actually want to eat fries. Atmosphere 6/10 It felt a bit stuffy inside, but it was also raining that day. The bathroom was too small :( Service 6/10 I know it was only two guys handling all the servers, so totally understand that that was the reason it was a bit slow. They seemed so stressed out so kudos to them for running a restaurant :(

Went here after a fall festivities day and was in a waitlist for around 45mins. During that time we explored Beacon area. The restaurant sent us a text and when we arrived there was a table waiting for us. the service was awesome very kind and laid back The ambiance is quite cozy and a bit cramped spaces but it works nonetheless. it was nice interior and allure to it. good vibes for sure! For food, we got Mansef and Shawarma with Baba Ganoush as the base. The Mansef was chicken (they ran out of lamb). It was deliciously seasoned and very warm perfect for the season. The shawarma on the other hand was stone cold on the baba ghanoush which was a disappointment. i've had this dish many times before and the protein is usually sizzling hot. it was not that good. At the end we got Black tea and Herbal Mint tea. the black tea was lukewarm while the mint tea was on point. i've had better (kanye shrug) 7/10 B rating

Consider this a review of the now two times I've been to Ziatun!! I was shocked to see that I did not review them when I first went to visit with my partner back in June. This recent time I went I grabbed the Vegan Shawarma wrap, which was incredibly rich with flavor! We drove about an hour to have dinner here and it was so worth it! I ordered some Palestinian Lemon Lime soda this time and that was quite good! If you're from the city like I am and visiting the Beacon area, I would very highly recommend this spot!

A Palestinian shop with delicious Mediterranean food, plenty of vegetarian friendly options, and served in authentic style amongst a cozy seating area with plenty of things to see. The service was quick and friendly and I tried knafeh for the first time and I am obsessed with this cheesy not too sweet dessert now. I ate way too many zatar fries and lots of delicious dips and pita bread. 12/10.

Ziatun is absolutely delicious. The decor and overall vibes are fantastic. Like with all the buildings in Beacon you walk in and the place goes back into a rectangle, which is so pleasing for some reason. The decor has a middle eastern flavor but without trying too hard, it's lovely not tacky at all. The service is always exemplary. We have been countless times and have never been disappointed. Tons of flavor and the portions are perfect. We go every time we are in the area!

Amazing food, incredible service. Walked in on a whim and was moved to tears because of the music, art, and heart that is Palestinian culture. Viva viva Palestina

Finally tried their vegan shawarma on the go, with the za'atar fries. I can imagine it would be a much better experience dining in with everything laid out to share; but no complaints! I still enjoyed it hot on my drive home and am looking forward to trying their platters in store some day! The food was bursting with flavor lots of different sauces and juices (from the veggies). The fries were also nicely cooked and I really love the za'atar seasoning and want to save it for everything!

Atmosphere is a small-ish space, twinkle lights on the windows, various Middle Eastern paintings and other cultural elements all around. Place is not shy about being pro-Palestinian. Sat by the window and there was a small ceramic camel. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was good - the zataar seasoning was on point for the pita and olive oil. Mansaf was excellent, very flavorful. Mujaddara was also delicious. Maybe a tiny bit smaller than expected at the price point, but the authenticity made up for it. An excellent spot for Palestinian food!

I came in solo before a show at the cultural center. Its small and intimate inside but I asked to sit outside. I was seated right away and provided a menu. I ordered a spritz drink which came out quickly and was so tasty! I ordered the appetizer sampler which was larger than I anticipated but had a variety of things to try with pita. I also ordered the chicken shawarma platter with rice which was recommended by the waiter. Everything came out quickly and was so flavorful and delicious! I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

Do not order the $25 lamb kebab- just like recent reviews: rubbery, overcooked like it's reheated. We ASKED could we get it cooked to order and asked for it medium well. It came out super well done and tasted old. Server only apologized and said I have your bill right here. So he got a RARE 15% tip- we'd be foolish to leave more. Hummus was decent, so was the lentil soup. I'd stick to the cheaper menu items. But avoid that overpriced Lamb. We will not return - felt duped.

After a bright start at DIA:Beacon, I started getting peckish and the curator I spoke to said that Ziatun was a good place to go and replenish my nutrients with Near-Eastern fare. On a sunny Saturday afternoon, Ziatun was popping, but they were able to seat me at a table by the sunny window (pro-tip: this spot gets a little bright, so be sure to draw the curtains to prevent overheating and sunburn). Both waiters were wearing shirts that said "Habibi" in Arabic and English which were a nice touch. The balding zaddy waiter took my order quickly and within 5 minutes I had my lamb shawarma wrap with zaatar fries (I also opted for hummus being included in the wrap for an extra 1$). The shawarma was legit -- the flavours and textures were all on point and the tahini/hummus combo inside was perfect. My only issue was that the meat slices were a bit too large at times, and so it was sometimes hard to chew through the tendony bits. The Zaatar fries were also yummy, but you probably won't finish all of this, even if you come starving. P.S. Be careful when handling, as I got a big stream of sauce dripped onto my pants.

Amazing lunch! My boyfriend and I got the Sitto's soup, which was a delicious and cozy way to warm up on a wintery day. He got the burger which was AMAZING, with stellar za'tar fries and a yummy sauce. I admittedly had a little food envy. But I got the Fattoush salad with chicken which satisfied my need for vegetables. All around a fabulous meal. Service was solid, with kind servers and the food came out quickly. We were pleased! Apologies for my photo, which I only remembered to take when we were almost done eating.

My friend and I ate here a couple days ago it was wonderful -- both the timely decor, the excellent service and the great food. I can't recommend it enough Try the Arabic coffee, or the red lentil soup. From the river to the sea!

Went on a day trip to Beacon and decided to check out Ziatun after seeing multiple recs to try it out. Got the chicken kebab with the baba ghanoush as a base and pita on the side. That was probably the juiciest chicken kebab I've had! It's kinda amazing how tender and juicy they were able to get that chicken kebab- a total feat for chicken breast! Service was great and our server was super nice! Baba ghanoush was good but not the best, but that chicken . Also came with a generous portion of three skewers. Defo worth checking out if you're in Beacon

Just had lunch at this place which calls itself a restaurant. Service is the slowest (which is actually good as the dishes cold and tested like they were purchased from Costco (and please forgive me Costco for comparing you to this restaurant)). If you want to spend time (and money) for noting, this is the place, otherwise there so many other places in this magical town to explore.

The food was amazing. The texture, the temperature and the flavor was on point. Being vegan there are not many options but this place was great. The service was quick and attentive as well. The ambiance is very chill vibes. I would recommend making a reservation if possible because there was a bit of a wait, but overall would come back.

Delicious menu; vegetarian/vegan friendly. Unfortunately, I became very ill from the food a few hours later...

Ziatun is such a wonderful restaurant with full of care and love to not only their food but representing their country. Full support to all of those in Palestine , please tip and support their restaurant. The staff were super humble and sweet, their food was delicious and so healthy as well. I will definitely be coming back with my family to try out their other dishes on their menu! Very affordable prices and the decor in the restaurant is worth the wait to get a seat inside so check it out!

Enjoyed my food here a lot!! The presentation was great and the food came fast. Lots of flavor. Tasted authentic as well. The inside was cute and small. Little seating but felt cozy. Restaurant was right downtown along with other shops and restaurants.

This food is so authentic and delicious! Customer service is great as well. The chicken Shawarma is a 10 out of 10. The only issue is the restaraunt is tiny no room to move around. Great food though.

Cool little spot. Halal options. Seasoned fries tasted great & was a good price for the amount you get. Halloumi was very tasty as well. I wish I had a little more pita with it. We also got a flatbread wrap which is more like a tortilla not a pita like we thought but was still very tasty & flavorful. First server was not the nicest but the person who took over was very polite & attentive. Wished food was a little more spicy but I would go back to try some more things.

Unassuming little place that packs a lot of flavor. Everything was delicious but the fattoush salad really stood out.

Wonderful food (falafel and kabobs and great service from Rocky!Definitely worth a visit.

Great place for good Mediterranean food. Great ambiance too. I reached here super hungry during the after time along with a friend who was visiting from Manhattan. I ordered falafel wrap with hummus and a side of zatar fries. It was delicious. I was so full by the time I finished half of it.

There is absolutely nothing else like this place. I've always enjoyed going into Beacon, and every single time we always make it here for lunch. The most recent time I went, it was a Thursday and the town wasn't too crowded. We didn't have to wait for a table and were immediately seated and served. To share, my table ordered the tabouleh, za'atar fries, and Palestinian olives. For my main, I ordered the mujaddarah with chicken. While I didn't order it, this restaurant is the only place where I have found the option to order mansaf with chicken instead of lamb, which I really appreciated and I hope to try another time. For a drink, I ordered the rose lemonade. All of the food was amazing and tasted fresh. The crispy onions on top of my main dish (the mujaddarah) were a really nice touch. I always look forward to going back here.

Came here for a day trip into beacon and was happily impressed by the food! We got the Falafel Wrap and the Za'atar fries. The fries were well seasoned and the wrap was filling. The portions were very good for the price. The place was really packed around 3:30PM Saturday so you may have to wait a bit if you're coming in on a weekend. They don't take reservations. The ambiance is very cute on the inside with little pillows and benches.

Very disappointing, given the previous recommendations. The Hummus was excellent but the Falafel tasted as if they had been microwaved too long...very dry. Also ordered grilled veggies, but they were raw and barely steamed....maybe just a bad day with an inexperienced crew, but we wont be back. Very sad, because I was really hoping for a great middle eastern meal....

I need to update my review. Got to eat here yesterday, and the staff could not have been friendlier. The food is still fantastic: fresh, delicious and the portions are great. I had the falafel burger and fries, my date had the chicken kabob with hummus. Both dishes were fantastic. Extra bonus, the decor is charming and cozy; outside tables are available as well as indoors.

A little pricy, but their falafel burgers and their veggie platters are amazing! They also have great zattar fries! 10/10

Stumbled upon this place with friends on my trip to NY. Really love middle eastern food and really wanted to love it. The staff was rude to my friends and I found hair in my food ... flavor was not bad but for the cost, vs. quality and service we received this is a no.

SO GOOD! best middle eastern food in the hudson valley. the za'atar fries are delicious! and i had a chicken platter that was amazing. the space is tiny inside but they have a few outdoor tables which is nice. i wish they would open up a bigger location to fit more people. the service is great. i highly recommend this place.

The food here is really good; they have a lot of unique dishes, and the atmosphere is quite nice. The place is small, so plan to wait on a busy night. One issue is largely with the service, which can be hit or miss. Many of the people who work there are exceptionally nice, but there are some people are rude. The owner himself can be a bit caustic at times, but he's a generally good guy (he owns/has owned a number of places in Beacon and as you can often see in his responses, he carries a bit of a chip on his shoulder). My other main issue is that for what it is, despite being quite good, is very expensive, especially for very small portions. So, if you like to eat light or go with small plates, and you are an easy going person, it's worth a shot. I probably only go here 1-2 times a year because it's just too expensive for a regular thing for me. Also, if you pay with card, they charge an extra 3-4% (fees for CC companies can get very expensive, so I get it), so try to pay wit cash to save a few bucks. Also, watch out for hidden service charges. They've been known to sneak those in there, and people accidentally tip even more.

My husband and I had a delightful meal at Ziatun recently! The food came out fast and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. We've never had authentic Palestinian food before and although it all sounded familiar to some Greek classics, everything really had a different flavor. Lemon and cinnamon were present in some of the flavor profiles which we both loved and felt really warmed up the dishes in a unique way. The main standout for me was the babaganoush which I usually find sour and bitter from most Greek places but this one was so pleasant, almost sweet and savory. I was fully expecting not to like it as I usually don't but everything we tried was spectacular. We had the Futur Medley which was vegan friendly and the stuffed grape leaves. We ordered extra pita and a shared a very fairly priced bottle of delicious white wine. The meal was affordable and the service and ambiance were perfect for our date night. We highly recommend Ziatun if you're in the Beacon area and cannot wait to go back!

Cute little Palestininian restaurant in Beacon came here after going to fish kill farm. I came here with my family. We got Lucky because it's pretty busy on the weekends here. We got a table of 8, and our waiter was super nice. Good wine selection at great prices, food was delicious. We started with this delicious app sampler with some warm pita bread and we got the zataar bread that came with tomatoes and cucumbers. We loved it. As our Entrees we got chicken shawarma for the kids and the kofta burger with zaatar fries was delicious. My brother and mom got the mix grill with choice of rice or hummus they really enjoyed it. They really did not have any desserts here just pound cakes. But it's okay after all we ate we didn't have space. I recommend it if your around definitely will be back

Despite being a Pro-Palestenian Restaurant we were treated poorly, and frankly felt a bit of racism. White guests were given priority over me and my wife, and waitstaff were very indifferent to us. If you want quality service, and overall basic decency don't bother visiting this establishment.

This is a Palestinian restaurant whose owners are unabashedly proud of their heritage. Ziatun offers homemade-style dishes right out of grandma's cookbook, not just the usual "Mediterranean restaurant" fare. It really does excel in every way; service, quality of food, dish choices, ambiance, price, etc. I've been there several times, and I'm always loving it!

Service was quick. Restaurant is small, but tables turn over fairly quickly. All the food was amazing. Very affordable and filling. One of my favorite restaurants in Beacon.

This has to be top restaurant for me in the Hudson valley. I absolutely love all the flavors they bring to the table, their food is fresh snd looks beautiful. The sauce they bring along with their French fries is so so so good! I could pour that on everything. The hummus is also to die for. I can go on and on about this place. Absolutely love it.

This is the definition of a hole-in-the-wall. It is fairly small with only five tables but it is worth the wait for a table!!!! The food was sooo delicious and service was quick. My favorite restaurant in Beacon hands down!

Our experience at Ziatun was just amazing... we walked into this little joint with friends that have eaten there before and really enjoyed it! I grew up on the Mediterranean diet, so I was excited to try this Palestinian restaurant... and we were not disappointed. Every meal was fantastic and the service was great..! I love seeing little local places like this thrive... It was quiet when we got there, but within half an hour the place got busy packed... We don't live nearby, but I would love to go back if we were ever in the area again! Definitely worth a visit if you have never been there before and you enjoy the Mediterranean food..

Original ambiance, great people, great food. The experience was a lot of un and different. The wine was good and the Rosewater lemonade.

Food is good, nothing special. Definitely a spot to go to if you want to eat something different. I would want to come try more dishes. Fries were a little too seasoned. The shakshuka is amazing. I would recommend!

In my other life I was raised on the Mediterranean. Nothing really makes me as happy as enjoying an array of dips and bites than the Mediterranean cuisine. My sister, nephew and I had gone for a two hour hike to see the Cornish Estate Ruins. We had built up an appetite. We walked around the main street in Beacon when my sister spotted Ziatun. There were some people in the window enjoying all kinds of delicious food. We need not search any further for lunch options. We had found the clear winner. It was sort of full for a small space but still felt rather safe. We decided on the "Futur Sampler" hummus, foule ( fava beans with herbs and other tasty items), baba ghanoush, falafel, turnips, salad, za'atar. I also ordered the feta and olives which $3 for each addition. This came with two pitas. And we did decide on an order of fries. My sister ordered the rose water tea. And with my yelp check in I got a free Arabic coffee. Arabic coffee is not an every day kind of coffee. It comes super thick. This one had ground cardamom. I loved the tiny pot it came in and the two demi tasse cups. I also ordered the semolina cookie that had a prune filing. And since we were treating ourselves after our hardwork I got an IPA. I know. I am doing all the things. Everything arrived in a timely fashion. The clientele was all courteous of volume. The food arrived in all its's splendor. I adored the spread. My nephew was drawn more to the french fries, as a nine year old would. I enjoy assembling the perfect bites with a little hummus, some chunk of falafel with a Za'atar sprinkle and a little olive oil. I was in heaven. The feta was so creamy. Real legit feta is so lovely that the grocery store feta should be called something else. My coffee was super strong. I did have to remind the waitress about the coffee. And before I could even order the cookie, the waitress brought us our check. That's my only pet peeve. I really don't like getting the check until I ask for it or they ask if I need anything else and if I say no then the check can come out. The people next to us ordered the same spread and they still ordered entrees. I ordered my cookie and the check was adjusted to charge me for one. She did say they were $3 for one or $5 for two. While I was sipping the coffee and pulling some of the cookie from bag (why was it in a bag instead of a plate?) the cookie slipped out and fell on the floor. We asked for another cookie and my sister ended up paying for that second cookie for me. I would like to come back and try some other dishes. I think the quality of the food is really up there. The ambience was also wonderful. And I think the pricing is also fair. I do recommend checking out the restaurant if you are ever in the area. They even set up some tables out in the front. It feels popular so maybe call ahead in the busier time of the season.

I've had tea and pita bread from here but at an event. This was my first time at the restaurant and enjoyed it. We had a variety of plates and it was all very good. The service was good and it was busy. We will be returning.
