One of the best places in Dublin that offers great food, outstanding service and authentic Iranian cuisine experience. Been visiting all Zaytoon branches since last 11 years and this place stands out tall, thanks to the ever gracious hospitality of Ana and Bianca and other staff. Chelu barg and kubideh is a must try item! And also don’t forget to have their saffron ice cream 💛

Reviews
Zaytoon is one of the most underrated restaurants in Dublin. This is fresh, authentic, healthy food and the taste is just incredible. It probably has a “late night kebab” reputation because of the places that open late in city centre. But this is flawless, restaurant-grade food. Would give more stars if I could!
Very good first experience in the Sandyford branch earlier this evening for dinner.
The food was fantastic as per usual with other branches.
Nice, spacious layout with a basement bar of sorts affiliated with Zaytoon.
The service, shout out to the woman, her name escapes me, but she was very helpful generally, especially with assisting my mother to where the toilets downstairs via the elevator too.
I'll be back for sure.
