Zaytinya is a the perfect restaurant to satisfy any Mediterranean food cravings.

Warning- the bread they give you to start is addicting.

To start, I recommend the the Spanakopita and the Cauliflower Tiganites. Both are delicious and not too filling.

A family friend recommended this dish, the Cheese Saganaki which actually isn't on the menu! I definitely recommend requesting it if you're a cheese lover.

A must is the Keftedes Kapama, the meatballs are cooked perfectly, the meat is so tender.

The Kotopoulo Youvetsi is a dish of orzo with chicken, baked with a crust, and a great accompaniment to the meatballs.

Of course you can't forget dessert!
