Zeitoon Grill House (100% Zabiha Halal) & No Alcohol

This was our second visit with a group of 3 adults and 2 kids. During our first visit, we had a good experience and enjoyed the food. Unfortunately, this time was disappointing. The koobideh kabob was very dry, and although the restaurant was not busy, I had to remind the waiter to bring our tea because it was forgotten. The waiter was also not very welcoming or friendly. When we received our receipt, we noticed a $30 automatic gratuity charge, bringing our total to $195. On our previous visit, gratuity was not added because the policy is supposed to apply to 4 or more adults. I also noticed several other reviews mentioning the same concern, which makes it seem like this is a recurring issue that isn’t being addressed. I wanted to share our experience, but unfortunately, we will not be returning.

Coming here was like visiting a friend’s house. I was very warmly greeted at the front door and was seated rather quickly. The atmosphere within the restaurant is inviting and full of natural light that overlooks the marina. Would be awesome for family gatherings or even as a date night spot. My food arrived roughly 10 minutes after I ordered it which is super fast for Persian food - what stood out to me was how fresh the rice and kabobs I ordered were. Both the beef and chicken were really flavorful and I would recommend the mixed grill so you get one skewer of each. The owners ended up giving me a complimentary side dish because I traveled very far to try their food. 10/10 would recommend checking them out

This restaurant was our favorite for the past five years. Unfortunately, after two recent visits, everything has changed. I can confirm the timing of our visits with photos taken at the restaurant (the iPhone timestamps show the dates clearly). It seems the management has changed, and the quality of the food is no longer the same. The atmosphere was noticeably different from before, it was not as crowded or lively as it used to be, which made us wonder about the freshness of the food. We usually order koobideh and barg at this restaurant. After our last visit, my wife became sick with diarrhea. I even had to exit the highway on our way home to stop at the nearest Starbucks so she could use the restroom. It was very upsetting. Another issue was when we asked for containers to take our leftover food home. They gave us a thin paper container without even placing food-safe paper inside it, which felt very cheap and careless. Additionally, their online prices for takeout have increased so much that ordering food to go costs almost the same as dining in with gratuity included. Sadly, we will not be returning. I do not recommend this restaurant anymore. We have switched to Bella Balducci’s Mediterranean Cuisine. The food there is delicious, the prices are affordable, and the quality is consistent. I highly recommend their chicken kabob and barg kabob.

If you are looking for authentic and yummy Persian food this place is a must try. From perfectly cooked kebabs to most juiciest top sirloin, all entrees are cooked to perfection. They also have a great selection of appetizers… kashke bademjan (grilled eggplant) was favorite among our group. To top it off, saffron pistachio cream is full of flavors and a perfect way to end the meal. Go head and try, you will not be disappointed

We had the pleasure of eating here this past weekend and we couldn’t be more pleased. I had the Lamb Shishlik Kebab, I have to say this was the most flavourful and properly cooked lamb I have ever had. The marinate is divine, if I had taken a bite of this while standing, my knees would have buckled from flavour! 🔥The service was also very good. The staff told me that there is new ownership, looks like they are off to a great start! The ambiance is also next level. I strongly recommend checking them out.

An outstanding dining experience from start to finish. We travelled all the way from Vancouver and were not disappointed. The food was exceptional, beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with high quality ingredients. The service was attentive and professional, and the atmosphere was warm, stylish, and inviting. Everything came together perfectly, making this a place I would happily return to and recommend without hesitation.

Comfortable and inviting atmosphere. We ordered the lamb shank $30 and chicken fillet kebab $25, coke $4 and sprite $4. We truly enjoyed the food. However, when we received the receipt there was an auto gratuity(15%) of $9.45 plus tax. I asked if there was any way to adjust the tip but she couldn’t. Unfortunately it’ll be our first and last time here.
