Zeytin Turkish Cuisine - Orlando

I had a mouth-watering and delicious meal at this restaurant, prepared with love and passion. The lentil soup and grilled eggplant were absolutely delightful!

Zeytin is a hidden gem of a restaurant! My partner and I arrived without a reservation, but the host/server was able to accommodate us. The restaurant is small with only 7 tables, so it's best to call ahead. We started with the Pick Two and Lavas appetizers, trying the baba ganoush, ezme, and a surprise dip. The fresh bread and delicious dips were outstanding, with the baba ganoush being a highlight. The mixed grill was also tasty, with the rice standing out. The baklava served as cubes was a nice touch for sharing. We had a great experience and will definitely return soon!

This was my first time experiencing Turkish cuisine and I couldn't have chosen a better spot. The owners were incredibly welcoming and eager to explain the various dishes on the menu. The food was outstanding, expertly seasoned and portioned perfectly. I will absolutely be returning to this hidden gem in Orlando. Be sure to make a reservation as it is a cozy space that you won't want to miss out on. Service: Dine-in

This charming restaurant was outstanding from start to finish. It is reservation-only, but once you call, you will be introduced to Michele who provides amazing service. When you arrive, Michele will greet you and serve as your server, making you feel like a regular customer of many years. The food is delicious with generous portions, filled with homemade flavors. Chef Z runs the kitchen himself! We started with lavas bread with haydari and sautéed eggplant as an appetizer, and the bread was so good fresh out of the oven that we couldn't resist finishing it all. For our main course, we shared the Feta Cheese Pide and the Iskender Kebab. The pide is a Turkish flatbread with cheese baked inside, similar to a pizza-come-calzone, while the Iskender kebab features sliced lamb on seasoned bread with tomato sauce and a dollop of yogurt. We had to take half of it home because of the portion size. For dessert, we enjoyed baklava that literally melted in our mouths. This is now one of our go-to spots. Parking: The restaurant has its own parking lot for convenience.

The food at this restaurant was absolutely amazing! The service was outstanding and we were so happy to have discovered this place. Highly recommend checking it out! We rated the food, service, and atmosphere all a 5 out of 5.
