Eater Zaytinya is Mediterranean mezze at its best, drawing from Greek, Lebanese and Turkish influences. The floor-to-ceiling windows make it a pretty scene, too. [Eater 38 Member]
Washingtonian Magazine A mezzanine dining area puts you above the crowds, but sometimes it’s more fun to mix it up below, particularly at the long communal table.

M Squared Real Estate This place is a party. Tapas style servings are great for groups of 3-4. The food is dynamite, and almost healthy. Every dish here is a gem.
Max Z.Anything with Lamb, but more specifically the lamb shank is delicious.
Kyle D.Brussel sprouts are amazingly delicious. Great place!
Anna J.The Patates Tiganites Me Yaourti (french fries with Greek yogurt and caper salt) are so delicious, you might sheepishly order seconds. Yum.
KC C.The puffed pita is amazing. Go for the trio of dips or try them all!! The tzatziki was excellent.
Kathryn Y.Loved the falafel, crispy eggplant, sauteed shrimp with dill, and ground lamb and tahini in a crisp pita.
Laura C.Answer "yes" to, "have you been here or prepare for a lengthy monologue."
Dari Always excellent food...lunch and dinner. The Htipiti spread is a can't miss.
Eric W.I keep going back for the spanakopita.
Jim B.Eat the snails. I've had escargot around the world and these are amazing.
Mike S.Sit outside on a nice night. Top it off with a glass of vino for a perfect evening.
Jonathan C.Go family style and enjoy the fantastic cocktails at the bar.
Maggie C.The spanikopita is damn good but it looks like a hot dog?? There's something really good about the olive oil too, very sweet. Yum!
Chris R.Food is excellent. The KishKash Srimp are suberb, as is the Greek Yogurt & Pistachio dessert. Fantastic. A+ overall.
Kara A.Shrimp with Dill, Escargot, Crab Cakes and Scallops are the best!
ThePurplePassport.com Zaytinya serves Greek, Lebanese, and Turkish food, small plates or “tapas” style. The space itself is equally as impressive with a combination of small tables, and longer, communal tables.
Eater It's hard to go wrong with the ever-changing menu. The buzzy restaurant has delicious brussels sprouts, octopus small plates, and a number of fun festivals throughout the year. [Eater 38 member]
Merve I.This is mostly Turkish food but the owner is Greek probably (because they translated Turkish food into Greek). However, nice restaurant.
