Wonderful place. We had the kabob combo and one of the soups. We also had the hummus appetizer, it was a great way to start. The staff here is so warm and kind. The owner came and shared ideas and suggestions for dining. This will be well worth your time. The food was great and again you are welcome and treated so important. They know their Persian food. We were the last ones in the store and the owner came to see us and is so kind. Please give them a shot.
WE LOVED THIS PLACE!!!! Our server was amazing in helping us with some popular food choices and was overall so kind and welcoming, plus the environment is great! The food was fantastic, I got the lamb while my GF got the mixed plate. We took home some baklava and rice pudding for desert, which was delicious! This is definitely a place to check out if you're looking for something new to try
Had a few hours before a flight out of SLC, so found this gem of a spot for dinner. Perfect atmosphere, authentic Persian food, wonderful staff. If I’m back in Salt Lake City, I will head here again for sure!
The food is absolutely exquisite, complemented by an inviting and beautifully designed atmosphere that makes dining a pleasure. The service is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall delightful experience. This is truly authentic Persian cuisine, crafted with care and attention to detail. Everything is impeccably clean, making it not just a meal, but a memorable dining experience. This place is a true hidden gem waiting to be discovered.
My wife and I travel all over the US constantly for our son's competitions. And because we love Persian food so much, not because we are fanatical about Persian foods, but because of the healthiness of the food and the great taste it has. Even for us Iranians, many Iranian restaurants are not attractive at all, and we don't try them more than once because they only carry persian foods restaurant’s name than it's real tast. You know, it's not just about getting full! Enjoying the real taste of Iranian food is much more important. My wife and I recently traveled to Utah for my son's competitions. I searched the internet for an Iranian restaurant and I found the most-starred restaurant, Zeitoon Cafe . So we chose to go there for lunch, and I dare say this! especially for non-Iranians pepole, because most of Iranians know the real taste of good Iranian foods! But for you who are foreigners and you’d like to know the real taste of Iranian foods, I can boldly say that Zeitoon Cafe restaurant is 10 out of 10 stars restuarant! And if I want to be honest, could be 100 stars. Especially, their recommended grilled kobideh that is the real taste of Iranian kobideh kabob, If you are a foodie and would like to taste the real Iranian food, I highly recommend Zeitoon Restaurant.
Super good food! The eggplant appetizer was really good and my favorite part of the meal was the ground beef meat in the saltori dish, super juicy and flavorful.
Truly impressive by this Persian restaurant! First time coming here with family and kids, food was amazing, service was amazing and ambience is incredible! They also have Majlis seating (Arab style) seating. Will definitely be back here for more!!
