Zayt & Zaatar

This family owned Lebanese restaurant is a true gem hidden away in the northeast of Adelaide. Food is excellent and so was the service and atmosphere. Servings are generous and guaranteed that you and your fellow diners will be well full and satisfied. Authentic Lebanese cuisine indeed. We’ve been three times and each time has been consistently enjoyable. Recommend: mixed skewers platter, taste platter, 4 dip platter, sujuk, halloumi salad.

Tasty food but it took AGES, we came here on a Saturday night and ordered at 7:50pm, and we didn't our entrees until 9:00pm, and then mains at 9:45pm.. a bit of a ridiculous wait and they didn't even communicate this with our table - or other tables for that matter. There were many disgruntled customers looking around, waiting for food to come. I would suggest they add more staff or reduce the max number of table bookings, the wait time for meals is simply way too long. Even for a good one!

My favourite Lebanese restaurant in Adelaide. It’s family owned, halal and has fantastic food. I love the Lamb Mishwi served with bread, humus, garlic sauce, salad and wedges. Lamb is juicy and tender with desirable level of fat. Wedges are seasoned well, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Humus is delicious and garlic sauce really enhances the flavour of the meat. I really like the beef steaks served here. The scotch fillet and the tomahawk steak are grilled to perfection and have a unique charcoal flavour. Staff is great and food gets served in a reasonable time. Prices are reasonable given the quality of the food. On the other hand, the spicy potato butata served with steaks isn’t my taste so I swap with wedges. I’m also not a fan of the bread that is served, it can often be dry and doesn’t feel fresh. Chicken used in Mishwi is a breast fillet that can get dry when grilled. Overall it is fantastic restaurant with delicious food. I highly recommend dining here.

DISSAPOINTING!! never experienced such awful treatment from a restaurant like this. We were a group of 7 people. It was booked in advance and we waited 1 hour to let the food arrive at 7pm and guess what ? Around 7:15 the waitress came and told us to LEAVE as the tables we were sitting at needed to be given to other customers. She then brought the 2 takeaway containers. There were several other free tables, and we asked if we could sit other free areas but she told us she cannot let us sit too and will give extra 10 minutes in a bossy manner which was pretty ridiculous . Billing was $258, after the food we ordered and the only thing we got was telling us to evacuate from our table with 15 minutes of dining in while there were plenty of free tables. As a person who has worked in the restaurant and customer service industry, this is so wrong and racially motivated. I wouldn’t recommend.

Just opened at West Lakes. Decided to check it out with my sister for lunch today. We shared 3 small dishes. Hummus with lamb and cashews, fatuous salad and a spicy lamb dish served with Lebanese flat bread. Perfect for 2 of us and we can't wait to go back! They say they are booked out tonight for dinner so best book for evening meal. We went about 1. 30pm and found a table easily. Great atmosphere, menu, wine and very friendly service. Highly recommend.
