Zaytinya Washington Reviews
Came here for lunch yesterday it seemed like a go-to spot
Came here for lunch yesterday it seemed like a go-to spot for people during work. Wasn't super busy (per the hostess when we were being seated) but service definitely was more hands-off with us and focused on those around us. We had the falafel
One of my go-to spots in D.
C. Besides the service being a bit spotty at times, Zaytinya fires on all cylinders. The food is exceptional. The small plates give everyone the opportunity to try many different dishes, and each one is light and delicious. The interior is gorgeous a
Parking here is complicated.
Is in the middle of s very busy stadium like area. The entrance is nice and the ambiance is very elegant. The service is very good and the wait staff is pretty fancy and friendly. They are great at suggesting pretty good dishes and pairing drinks

This establishment has quickly become one of my favorite spots. I originally stumbled upon it during the federal government shutdown, when they were generously serving free lunch to federal employees with an ID. That gesture alone left a strong impre

We popped in here before the hockey game and was pleasantly surprised on his busy it was but how fast we were seated!! The nice lady at the hostess stand said they had outside seating available, so we said SURE! A couple minutes later they scooped
Such a nice restaurant! High ceilings clean ambience.
Friendly staff. All the foods were tapa style. Everything was delicious! Especially the octopus! I would just go back to get 3 of those!
I love eating at Zaytinya.
Not only is it one of the best places to dine for high quality food and experience, but it's also conceived in Chef Jose Andre's imagination which ties in a lot of ethical qualities to guide the decisions that make the restaurant feel inten

We had heard great things about Zaytinya so made a reservation for a nice evening out. Even with a reservation, there was a little bit of a wait. Once we were seated, service was good. Our server may have been a little annoyed with us since we wer

Ann excellent Outdoor Lunch
After a delightful visit at the nearby Women’s Museum of Art, we walked a few blocks over to Zatinya for lunch. The place is painfully noisy when crowded, so we asked for an outdoor table under heaters. The tapas of their menu all offer burst of

Mediterranean small plates? Yes please! The weather was finally nice enough to sit outside and Zaytinya's patio seating is lovely. We ordered a couple dishes to share, my favorites of which were the pides and crispy brussel sprouts. It's a

I have always loved Zaytinya, for the quality of the food and drinks, but I also love all of José Andrés restaurants for their support of DC and willingness to give back. I recently stopped in for the free lunch for government workers, and was so p
Great food, great service, acceptable setting and horrible
Great food, great service, acceptable setting and horrible host & hostess. The greeting and interaction with the host and hostess was absolutely horrible -- tons of attitude given. Considering they are the face of the restaurant stellar service
Very delicious but not the best at the price point.
This is likely my own fault, because I came in with high expectations. The ambiance is communal in the sense that it can get really loud and echoey here when it's full. Make sure you lean on the servers to discover the best flavors.
Outstanding multi-course dinner for ten
We held a work dinner for 10 of us and had one of the tasting menus. It was an unbelievable way to try the amazing food. Everything was excellent, but I particularly thought the vegetable dishes were outstanding. We had a mix of dietary preferences a
Came to Zaytinya for lunch and it was perfect.
Didn't make a reservation for a party of 3 on a Tuesday, and we were able to walk in no problem. Love the vibe, aesthetic and ambiance of the restaurant. Our service was quick, kind, and frequent. I ordered the Salmon Duru that came with a sid

Very kind of Jose Andres to offer free meals to federal employees during government shutdown! Zaytinya has really great Mediterranean food that are on the more affordable side compared to ilili or Iron Gate. The durum sandwiches (falafel, salmon, and

came during valentine's day and had the course meal and i loved every single thing (very rare). i never knew how good a beet salad could taste? service was excellent
Actual rating is about a 3.
5. If I rate on the Shish Touk, ambience and service it would be a 5. Both were excellent. It's a light, airy space with elegant but not showy ambience and the service was top notch. But, it kind of fell off for me with the other dishes an

Another year and another great reason to love Jose Andres restaurants. Amidst the lapse in appropriations, this place offered a little something for furloughed federal employees!! I've never had these wraps (I got the chicken, my colleagues got
Exotic sensation
If you have a love of Middle Eastern cuisine you'll really love this restaurant. The flat bread with oil and balsamic was an appetite booster which prepared us for gorgeous fresh fattoush, an eggplant dish from heaven and an exotic lamb cooked
Currently at the restaurant as I'm writing this review.
We're been waiting to get a refill on our pita bread for the past 15 minutes. We asked our server and another staff member and no one is servicing our table. Food is good, but the service here is highly lacking for the price you're paying f
ZaytinyaMediterranean is a beautiful space in DC.

The ambiance of this place is super inviting.
The right music at the right volume, the lighting was warm. Overall great ambiance. The service is un paralleled! The bread never ran out, the waiter made sure the glasses were never empty, most of all the presentation of the Turkish coffee was fun!
First dinner stop- no questions asked
This is THE spot for your first dinner in DC. The food was superb. We nearly licked the platters clean and loved everything we had. It was a bit loud but not too hard to carry a conversation. It was particularly fun to be there pre-Capitals game with
The food's got a tang I'll give you that.
Could appreciate it even on a bad date. I wish it had more protein but not everyone's on that wave so I guess it don't matter
Not what it used to be
Zaytinya has gone way downhill. This was one of our favorite places to to eat in D.C. We were on a 4 day trip here and it was to be one of the restaurant highlights but sadly it was not up to par. Too bad as we love Jose Andres. Firstly, the service
It's a swanky joint.
And the food is incredible. Anyone who brings me here is a new best friend.

It was incredible.
I had the lamb kebab or something. It was magnificent. I was transported through a thousand years of culture and evolution. It will be one of those meals Ill remember for long time.
I had high hopes for Zaytinya but left rather underwhelmed.
Starting with the good -- hummus and brussels were tasty and a supply of fresh bread is always a perk. The other dishes we tried, the chicken pasta and halloumi flatbread, were just kind of.. mediocre. The pasta especially tasted like it could have
We are coming back. !
The service was excellent. It would only surpass the food.! we did the chefs choice and the pairing of the wines! I would show you pictures of what we ate, but every time we dug into the food, we realized halfway through we forgot to take a picture!
Came for brunch and ordered the brunch prefix menu.
It was wonderful. The bread guy is the real mvp though. Very attentive and engaged with our kids and made sure they were having a good time. By far the most locked on person we interacted with. We also noticed this on our previous visit with the same

Style over substance. Having read great reviews we had great expectations that unfortunately weren’t met. Food/flavours just didn’t work for us, at first we wondered if it was our choices, however we ordered six dishes and were underwhelmed by th

Excellent food and prompt service
Very good food and service. It's crowded so you need a reservation, or you can sit at the bar, like we did. The bartender was very attentive and the food arrived very quickly. We shared the three dips (humus, tzatziki and babaganosh), Fattoush
Just superb.
Great food, amazing atmosphere. Can't wait to go back! Every single item was delicious.
Our return visit to Zaytinya did not disappoint.
What stood out was the incredible staff Knowledgeable and willing to take the time to explain and educate me, who has very little experience with the Mediterranean dishes served here. Each dish was exceptional, our son and his girlfriend did all the
An amazing restaurant
My husband made a reservation to celebrate my birthday a few days early while we were staying in DC overnight before a wedding in VA. We are definitely foodies and enjoy eating at great restaurants at home in NY and when we travel. We were blown awa

Highly recommend the RoZAY Brunch.
Everything was delicious. Staff was attentive. Easy to get to on the Metro.
Food and service were good.
My favorite was the Bangijan Bil Laban. It is conveniently located by the Chinatown/Gallery place metro stop.
This place is consistently good and reasonably authentic
This place is consistently good and reasonably authentic (I'm familiar with the region they represent). Food is tasty, service is efficient and polite. Nicely priced too. The patio is where you should be if the weather permits.
The service and food and decorations are all very good.
We tried eggplants and scallops but did not take photo of scallops haha.
the only thing that's nice about this place is the service.
the food is genuinely disgusting, bordering on inedible. i am not a picky eater but this was just low quality ingredients disguised with way too much onion, garlic, and vinegar. i'm never coming back. you can cook much better, fresher, healthier

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Zaytinya Washington. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Zaytinya Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Zaytinya Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 now uses their connections at Zaytinya Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Zaytinya Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
