Washington | Zaytinya 🥙

DC’s Popular Mediterranean Spot – Perfect for Sharing & Smaller Appetites ✨ This trip confirmed just how rich DC’s food scene is—and this restaurant came highly recommended, especially for sharing meals with family! We reserved a table for 6:15 PM a day in advance. By 6:30–8 PM, the place was fully booked—so glad my parents like to eat early! 👨👩👧 I mentioned we had seniors in our group and asked for a well-lit, spacious table—and they kindly accommodated us. 💫 Zaytinya specializes in Mezze—traditional Middle Eastern and Mediterranean small plates. We ordered 8 dishes for 4 people—just enough for lighter appetites. For bigger eaters, 9–10 plates would be plenty. My personal favorites: 🐙 Grilled Octopus – Tender and smoky 🧆 Hummus – Creamy and flavorful 🥬 Roasted Brussels Sprouts – Crispy and well-seasoned But honestly, every dish was satisfying! They also serve unlimited warm pita bread—perfect for dipping into all those delicious spreads and dips. 🫓🔥 We’ll definitely be back on our next DC visit! 😘 📌 Pro tip: Reserve ahead—wait times can be crazy!
