This Mediterranean Restaurant is the Best Kept secret in White Oak/ Colerain. It is very close to Ronald Reagan hwy Colerain Exit so very convenient to many outside of the neighborhood. The Gyros were very good. I compare all Gyros to Sebastians in Western Hills and I will not drive 30 minutes anymore now that I have found Al Zaytuna Grill! Also tried, Tabbouleh, Chicken Kabob, Chicken Shawarma, Grape Leaves. All was excellant. The place is very cute and the owner is very nice. All food is made to order with fresh ingredients! I highly recommend this restaurant!

It is not necessary to venture downtown or to Clifton to find authentic, fresh, and delicious Mediterranean food. Al-zaytuna is another example of one of those hidden gem, mom and pop shops that we're always on the lookout for.
I ordered the chicken shawarma as a combo, which was fantastic, and was also fortunate enough to sample the falafel, also fantastic.
I highly recommend this restaurant.
We have been looking for a good Mediterranean restaurant small place but don't let that fool you the food was awesome. We had the family grill mix for two wow so much food. Hope everyone gives it a try we need a place like this on this side of town.
Fantastic place!
Prices are great, food is wonderful, and kid friendly!
Service was exceptional and staff are very friendly.
We'd have to say this is best Mediterranean Resturant on west side!
We will definitely be coming back!
Wonderful service every time and the food is amazing. I especially love the Chicken kabob, but the hummus is also amazing. This is a very small restaurant but very worth visiting and we go almost every week now! Also their fries are awesome, best fries I've found in the area. Try them with feta cheese!
Very nice experience overall. Mediterranean food that is good, and good for you.
The decor in the front of the house is right on. A few low cost improvements such as the addition of soft lighting in the dining area, and the relocation of the open door signal to a area where it is less disruptive would be wonderful.
The menu is offers a complete selection of Mediterranean lunch, dinner, appetizer and dessert choices rounded out by several classic American sandwiche options.
Small place, but they make good use of the space available.
Looking forward to trying out one of the dinner platters.
Reasonably priced they are open 7 day a week, and they do offer catering.
Give them a try! You’ll be impressed. One of the areas up and coming places to dine, or carry out.
The best gyro I have had in Cincinnati in a very long time. Fresh ingredients, great service, really tasty Middle Eastern menu, very reasonably priced. Baba Ghanoush is excellent.
This is easily my favorite place to have dinner. They have great food and they go out of their way to make you feel appreciated as a customer. My daughter and I pick up dinner here around once a week and we look forward to it every time. In my opinion this is a hidden gem amongst the endless chain restaurants in Colerain. This is where I would send someone if they were looking for something really good in the area.
Some of the best Mediterranean food in the city at reasonable prices! Super friendly family that owns the place and they provided excellent servicd. Will definitely be back soon :)
It was great! I devoured my gyro platter. It was smothered in tzatziki sauce, the meat was perfectly seasoned and the fries were nice and crispy. The lady taking my order was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. I carried out my order, so I didn’t stay long, but it is very clean! I think Al Zaytuna found itself a regular!
My first time eating here and I ordered the Tabouli. It was very good and loved that everything is made fresh when ordering. I'll definitely recommend and be back.
Very enjoyable meal, generous portions, very pleasant service.
The Mixed Grill for two gives you an assortment of chicken, beef and lamb kabobs with hummus and baba ghanouj.
The tabbouleh was excellent.
Loved the whole experience, definitely a new pit stop for us...
Great restaurant I've been there for many times I recommend it ���
Best Mediterranean food in the Cincinnati area. Everything is made from scratch and the homemade pickles are incredible!
Amazing food! We can't wait to go back! Grape leaves are awesome, the pitas were so soft and fresh and my hummus was delicious! �
Amazing food and even better service! I think I found my favorite restaurant!
Amazing, great job. Highly recommend this restaurant.
It's one of the best halal foods you will ever taste in Cincinnati, especially when it's cooked by the Palestinian family. Every dish in the menu is yummy and lovely. Hence, we go there 3 times a week . The family that runs this restaurant are very professional and humble people . It was one of the best restaurants I have ever tried in my life . Excellent quality and service. Good job, Abo-Albaraa.
The best experience ever in a Mediterranean restaurant!
The owner Maha and her daughter Tellah were amazing!
They were the perfect example of Palestinian hospitality!
Her son in the kitchen did a great job as well! the food was excellent and the french fries were so good I didn’t even need to add ketchup.
The decoration was nice and subtle, the atmosphere and welcoming were outstanding, it made us as feel home!
Definitely recommend this place, and we’ll pass by when we come back to Cincinnati!
Wish you the best Miss Maha for you and your family, we’ll keep you in our prayers!
Delicious Mediterranean food. Our favorites are the hummus special with chicken shwarma, the beef kabob platter, and the gyro Greek salad. My kids love their chicken tenders and the fries are tasty too. We usually order takeout but we've also dined in. The space is brightly lit and inviting. Bathrooms are always clean. Staff are super helpful and friendly. Really kind people and kid friendly.
Y’all please eat from here. The food is a bit more on the expensive side but like I so support amazing quality food that’s really unique and underrepresented. The workers here are so lovely and nice, the place is clean. Me and the fam have eaten here before and love how generous. Oh my goodness. The amount of meat they supplement the gyros with. Like yes. Like it’s legitimately one of the few things I’ve ever eaten where I’m like I would gladly pay 8$+ for this cause I swear every other gyro place always gives you the minimal amount of meat and this place is the complete opposite. Please please please support this place for everyone who sees this, they do such a great job and deserve it fully 100%.
Stopped in for lunch. I had the Beef Shawarma Sandwich and it was really good. Basically, take Beef Shawarma and stuff it into a pita pocket. I liked the pickled red onions and the spices on the beef were good. I was also glad to see Pibb Extra as a fountain drink selection.
This place is the real deal! First, the people there are amazing and kind! They make you feel at home instantly! Second, the food is absolutely spectacular! We tried a little of everything, and you can't go wrong with any choice! Handicap accessible, and plenty of parking. Go and enjoy!
There is nothing better in this world than food from the Middle East (IMHO). Making it takes a lot of time and love. Lots of chopping! To find this little gem at Bridgewater today was such a joy. This isn't a chain. It's family run, and run WELL. The restaurant is spotless, cheery, and modern. The young lady that took my order was obviously proud and told me all about the family business. I ordered the homemade stuffed grape leaves, and the lamb Kebabs. When I got back to the office, I saw they threw in a homemade baklava in my to go order. Free! How sweet! But the most important part is that the food was fantastic, fresh, and healthy. I have plenty of leftovers for dinner tonight and will make Al-Zaytuna part of my regular lunch rotation.
It’s very clean and the food tastes really good
The decor here is very nice. The dining area was not the cleanest I've seen. And the employee assisting us had no knowledge of the food. (Probably a new hire. I wouldn't hold it against them) The chicken shawarma was kinda dry. BUT the reason they still get 5 stars, the gyro was probably the best I've ever had. I'll be back for that gyro.
Stumbled across this amazing hidden gem today🤤
From the adorable decor, beautiful live greenery placed throughout the restaurant to the made from scratch food, amazing spot!!
The falafel was lightly fried, no grease and the tastes of the chickpeas, parsley and other spices melted in your mouth 🤤
The hummus platter with chicken shawarma was 100% to die for too🤤 accompanied by pickles, peppers and green nablus olives (I asked for the name due to the delicious flavor). They brought our additional sauces to try with our meal and they were just as delicious too🤤
The staff was so sweet and caring. We will definitely be back and spread the word too🥰
