I arrived just in time before the lunch rush so I was able to order quickly and sit down to enjoy my meal. The gyro was delicious, but I wasn't a super fan of the tzatziki sauce. The mint taste was a bit over powering. The fries were delicious and seasoned well. This place is very popular and many other dishes caught my eye so I would love to go back to try more!

Authentic Lebanese food. Falafel was fresh made instead of frozen. The pickles with the side were amazing. Lentil soup was clearly home made. Beef shawarma was very well seasoned and perfectly flavored, could have eaten two of them. The service was quick. The staff doesn't speak much English but were friendly. The owner makes the food. The place was clean with enough seating for a quick grab and go place.

Was looking for a quick and flavorful lunch and decided on Zeitouni. I was and still am blown away by the authenticity, homemade quality ingredients, and rich flavors I got to partake of. Reminded me so much of genuine Lebanese food. Ordering is all contactless and done via touchscreen and a well-done fast experience. Biggest regret was not having time in my day to order more. With question, my new favorite Mediterranean place Cannot wait to go back.

My favorite middle eastern place not named Yafo in Charlotte. Also great because it isn't the chipotle-service style Mediterranean that seems to be popular - where they just throw everything all together in a bowl. Excellent humus and baba and salads. Looking forward to trying the wraps... Great menu. Only opportunity for improvement is their hot sauce. I think it was Sriracha or Siracha mixed with garlic/mayonnaise. With as good and fresh as everything else is, which they could just step this up. That said, excellent place and highly recommend.

Food: great! Service: great! Speed of food prep: great! Things I love love: Baba ganoush Hummus Fattoush Mediterranean salad Tabbouleh Potato harra Falafel (it's perfect) Lentil soup Pickles Get the spicy sauce!! We've been going for years and it's always excellent. Only downside is they're closed weekends, but I love that they have good work/life balance for their team. Also props to the gentleman who usually works at the registers (which are self-service)--he is always so helpful and genuinely kind to all the customers.

We were pretty impressed with this restaurant. The customer service was very good and so was the food. We ordered a variety of items to try. Mediterranean food is my absolute favorite so I was delighted to try some new things. The favorites were the "special" which is the wrap item on the right of my photo. It was a chicken dish and very very good. We loved the potatoes and the hummus was fresh and delicious. The chicken and beef was very good as well. We would definitely return and order the potatoes and chicken special. The food you see in this photo plus a side of potatoes and a few falafel appetizer bites was $47. 4 stars only because there was room for improvement with the ordering screen cleanliness, the soda machine had some items out of order, and the utensils bent when cutting food. Overall, not that big of a deal but prevented me from giving 5 stars.
