The ingredients are all fresh and food tastes delicious. We had some limitations on the food ingredients, and everything was accommodated nicely. Suggestion were on point. The dessert with coffee is an absolute treat. The ambience is also very good.

Our recent dining experience at Zaytin was spectacular. We began our meal with a delightful assortment of mixed hot appetizers, which included cheese rolls, falafels, and kibbeh rolls. While all the appetizers were delicious, the kibbeh rolls stood out with an outstanding special touch from the chef that elevated their flavor to another level. For the main course, we ordered the Zaytin Special Casserole intended for two people, although we were a group of four. Demonstrating exceptional generosity, the chef added four lamb chops to accommodate us all. The portion size was incredibly generous; despite our best efforts, we couldn't finish it and happily took the leftovers home. Both lamb chops and cubed gyros were perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor, a testament to the chef's skill and attention to detail. The service at Zaytin was exceptional, with staff members going above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was enjoyable. The chef himself took the time to personally check on us and inquire about the quality of the food, which added a personalized touch that we greatly appreciated. The ambience of the restaurant was another highlight. The decor and atmosphere were warm and inviting, making it a wonderful place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. We are already planning our next visit and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.

Zaytin Turkish Cuisine absolutely exceeded our expectations. The food was phenomenal — dishes were, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. There are plenty of options available, and everything we ordered tasted like it was made with real care. We also appreciated how easy it was to get a table — the seating was comfortable, and the atmosphere felt welcoming without being crowded or noisy. What truly made the experience stand out was the incredible hospitality. Our waiter was attentive, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic halal Turkish food and a genuinely great dining experience!

This place definitely deserves 5 stars! The food is absolutely delicious, especially the liver dish. The mixed kebab and mezze platter are also amazing, each bite bursting with flavor! The shrimp pasta features some of the best, freshest shrimp I've had — big, juicy, and incredibly tasty. The tomato sauce, made with fresh tomatoes, was out of this world. The service is fast, and the staff is incredibly friendly. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the background music adds a great vibe to the whole experience. The tables are spotless, with fresh white tablecloths and gleaming utensils after each guest. They're really meticulous about cleanliness, which I truly appreciate. The desserts are also fantastic! I highly recommend the mixed dessert platter, as it gives you the chance to try a little bit of everything. My personal favorite was the Pistachio Ankara Sarma — definitely a must-try! If you're looking for halal food in the U.S., this is one of the best places to go. It's a perfect spot for a family meal, and you can enjoy your time with peace of mind. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the owner is very hospitable. I'll definitely be back next time!

Stumbled upon this place a couple of months ago, and kept saying I'll try it out. Wish I had come sooner! The atmosphere is elegant and calm, the service was super fast and friendly, and the food (had the lunch special...great prices too) was extremely flavorful. Subtle flavors that accent well, nothing overpowering like I've had in the past which detracted me from trying Turkish food. And it's halal! My wife, who never finishes her food, had her plate empty at the end. I definitely will be coming back to try their other items.

We have been looking for an authentic Turkish restaurant in New Jersey since our trip to Turkey a year ago. We’ve found it! What an amazing treat to be brought back to the flavors that we so loved on our trip abroad. Each course was magically devine and well presented. Service was impeccable with the a touch hospitality of the people of Turkey. The ambiance is modern with Turkish lamps and art. The soft relaxing music accompanied each our courses wonderfully. Zaytin is now in our top 5 places for great food!
