Zaytoons

Zaytoons (594 Vanderbilt Ave between Bergen St & Dean St) is a Middle Eastern style restaurant that strives on ambience and authentic dishes. Each dish was so descriptive and hearty sounding on the menu and they meant what they wrote.  Make sure to get the Pita bread (or maybe 2), they are so fluffy, airy, and flavorful that I couldn’t believe I was eating bread.  They served it immediately after baking it too, so it was still fresh and hot!  Their pizzas are great, and my lamb and rice plate was filled to the edges and filled with flavor, as all of the rice dishes here are.  There’s a nice garden for when the weather gets nice and you want to eat outside as well; don’t forget to stop by Zaytoons after a hearty visit to the Brooklyn Museum for a hearty taste of the Middle East!
