Zaytoon

Mouthwatering food, a charming atmosphere, and outdoor dining with sustainably sourced ingredients (organic and wild-caught). A heaven for those seeking dairy-free and gluten-free options. Exceptional service.

Delicious food in a delightful outdoor patio atmosphere. While it would have been nice to have one or two menu offerings (especially dessert!) for those of us with dairy and/or gluten allergies, that is really the only quibble.

Fantastic Middle-Eastern restaurant with an ambiance of quiet elegance. Cash and Credit Card payments accepted. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Indoor and outdoor seating. Located in the heart of Santa Barbara Zaytoon's offers a classy dining experience. Particularly in the evening the restaurant literally sparkles with outdoor dining illuminated by small fire pits in the center of tables and sparkling lights throughout. Attention to detail is clear here and the effect is a meal that is memorable not only for how it tastes but where it's enjoyed. Food is delicious and prepared fresh from as many locally-sourced providers as possible. Classics such as hummus and tzatziki are great starters. Entrees include fish, chicken, beef, lamb and vegetarian options. They are able to accommodate gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian and halal needs. Highly recommended for an exquisite experience with a fairly manageable price tag (by Santa Barbara standards!).
