About

Zaytinya serves Eastern Mediterranean small plates in a bright, modern room, with a patio and conservatory seating for warmer days. Vegans can ask for dairy-free pita and build a meal from hummus, falafel, fattoush, and modified vegetable mezze, though the menu has few items clearly marked vegan and service knowledge can vary.
