Zaytoon

If you’re looking for a modern Persian kitchen in Dublin that serves up delicious, no-frills food, look no further than Zaytoon. This laid-back eatery is a hidden gem, with a simple but crafted menu that showcases the best of Persian cuisine.

From the moment you step inside, you’ll be struck by the relaxed atmosphere and the friendly staff. The decor is minimal, but the focus is on the food, and rightly so. Zaytoon prides itself on using only the freshest, highest-quality local ingredients, and it shows in every bite.

We started with the hummus, which was creamy and luscious – the perfect dip to start our meal. But the real stars of the show were the Doner dishes. I opted for the mixed Doner, which came with tender lamb and chicken, cucumbers, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, creamy garlic sauce, and a chili sauce that added a nice kick without being too spicy. The falafel Doner was another highlight, with crispy, flavorful falafel taking center stage. What truly set the Doner pitas apart was the texture – super crispy on the edges, but still soft and fluffy on the inside. It was the perfect vessel for the delicious fillings.

One thing to note is that the servings at Zaytoon are generous, to say the least. If you’re ordering multiple sides or dishes, you could probably share and still leave feeling satisfied. This makes it a great spot for sharing with friends or family.

Overall, Zaytoon is a must-visit for anyone looking for a delicious, authentic Persian meal in a laid-back atmosphere. The food is crafted with care, and the ingredients are always fresh and of high quality. Whether you’re a fan of Persian cuisine or just looking to try something new, Zaytoon is a great choice.
