The Spot
Zaytoona sits on the corner of Bannister and James Reed Roads, combining a casual dine-in restaurant with a bakery and a halal grocery selection in a single space. The name comes from the Arabic word for olive, and the menu leans into Levantine staples: falafel platters, lamb kabab, shish tawook, and a chicken shawarma rice bowl, each served with soup or salad. The signature Zaytoona Wrap and the Zaytoona Kabab Platter, built for sharing, round out the mains alongside hummus plates with warm pita.

The bakery turns out fresh pita and baklava in pistachio or walnut versions, and the grocery side stocks halal pantry staples for cooking at home. Vegetarian options are available throughout the menu. Zaytoona also handles takeout and catering for the surrounding community.
