    We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious Chef’s Tasting menu. Loved every bite, including the complimentary bread! A lot of food though … don’t fill up on the bread at the start. Noise level was high making conversations a bit difficult, but a packed, bustling restaurant is a good sign.

    I hadn’t been in years but the food is still great. The atmosphere is lively but it’s hard to have a conversation.

    We met up with some friends at Zaytina for lunch this afternoon. This is my first visit and I was very impressed. It is right across the street from the Gallery Place-China Town metro, so it couldn't be more convenient. We started with the cocktail 3PM in Instanbul and margaritas: both delicious. We opted for small plates for the table instead of individual meals. We started with brunch fries,a mix ofspreads with flat bread, crispy brussels afellia and falafel. The falafel is the best I've ever had. Would definately recommend and will go again.

    Can’t go wrong with the chef’s tasting menu. The goat cheese appetizer was excellent and the apricot yogurt dessert divine!

    Ordered the Aegean Sunset (non-alcoholic) and the chef's tasting menu. Incredible value for the amount and quality of food presented. Favorites were the hummus with harissa, shrimp saganak, lamb, and Greek yogurt with apricots.
