  • Complimentary Starter Soup and Fresh Bread

    Every meal begins with a welcoming bowl of complimentary hot lentil and turmeric soup alongside warm, freshly baked flatbread.

    I especially recommend the fresh bread they bring to the table; it was genuinely delicious. They also serve soup before the main meal, which I thought was a nice and interesting touch.

  • Welcoming, Considerate Meal Experience

    A comforting, considerate dining setup greets diners with hot soup and satisfying mains ideal for warming catch-ups across any season.

    Their free hot soup is absolutely a highlight, especially on such a winter day. The soup is free, but rich in flavour. Really considerate service.

  • Curated Afghan and Persian Regional Flavours

    The kitchen pairs spiced Afghan specialties like steamed mantu dumplings with signature Persian charcoal kebabs for a distinctive dual regional feast.

    it’s a great blend of Persian flavours from Iran to Afghanistan, which ties in perfectly with the overall vibe of the restaurant.

  • Signature Spiced Mantu Dumplings

    Traditional Afghan steamed mantu dumplings filled with spiced meat and topped with tangy yoghurt sauce create a standout culinary highlight.

    These delicate dumplings were a revelation, filled with a tantalizing blend of spiced ground meat and topped with a yogurt sauce that added a perfect balance of creaminess.

  • Koobideh Kebab

    The Koobideh was so delicious. I tried it separately with naan and saffron rice. It’s just beautiful.

  • Lamb Shank Biryani

    Try the Mantou dumplings, mixed meat platter (Afghan version of kofte, chicken and lamb cutlets) and the lamb shank biryani. Yum!

Before you head over

Practical tips on reservations, complimentary starters, and generous platter portions

  • Reserve ahead for weekend dining

    Zeitoon fills quickly during peak dining hours, especially on Friday nights and over the weekend. Reserving a table in advance prevents long waits.

  • Factor in the complimentary starter

    Every meal begins with complimentary warm lentil soup and fresh flatbread before your mains, so gauge your appetite before over-ordering starters.

  • Order share platters for groups

    Portions for the BBQ platters and mixed grills are exceptionally generous, often leaving leftovers for groups—order sharing platters to feed the whole table easily.
