    Huge restaurant with plenty of wait time. The sitting area is huge and despite that the restaurant is extremely busy because of its reputation and taste. We had the north indian and south india thalis including fried rice. The fish was nice, but their fahm platter has better options. The taste was good but not exceptional.

    The best multi cuisine restaurant to visit. Loves the Mushakkal platter, the flame torched platter was too good with spicy flavors and their fish kantara is also a dish to try, coconut gravy with red chilly , and spices were too good with Nool porotta and appam.

    Zaithoon is that one place you can run in for your Indian / fusion Indo-Chinese food. Food quality is in high standards. Service is attentive and ambience of the place is peppy with a good music playlist. Visited for many dishes: namely their Chennai mutton biriyani, Wayanad beef roast, Kerala parotta, Naadan chicken curry and Malabar chicken 65 as appetizers with ghee jeera rice. Their special zaithoon BBQ chicken is an all star dish. Come here for Indian food on nominal budget and leave with a belly full and smiles. Never had problems with their delivery or food hygiene. Worth the visit if you don't mind the drive along salwa road. It's located down the road from Red Tag.

    Good restaurant. To get the table during weekends need waiting, but serving food is quick. Taste quality, and portion size of food also very good. While waiting, try the chaat stall outside.., that’s also good for a try.

    Nice environment and tasty meals . You can get takeaway too. Birthdays and small events can be celebrated at this location. There is a very spacious and well-coordinated car park area reserved for this restaurant. My delight for this restaurant started at the car park when a well-experienced car park coordinator helped us to get a well suitable car park lot.

    A perfect restaurant for tasty food. They have a wide variety of menu items, they servers food as like in star hotels. Staffs are well behaved and always ready to help us. Getting a seat at times of weekends is probably difficult because of the crowd, we need to wait for just 10 to 15 minutes maximum. Everything is well arranged and cleaned. Best for families and groups too. They have a party hall too. Lighting and ambience is also top class.

    One of the best Indian restaurants in Qatar. This branc is the most spacious and famouse branch of Zaitoon. The best thing i like about Zaitoon is that there was no compromise in the taste and value of food they provided from the opening time till date. There is a vast range of Indian( All south indian types and north indian), Chinese and arabic cuisines. And they provide it in their own way. Their mixed barbeque and mix seafood grill is a mist try dishes. The servise is so welcoming and very polite. Price so cheap considering the taste and quantity of the food. Taste is so good. There is party hall in the fisrt floor.. the cost is reasonable. but due to covide situations, there is restriction for partying. There is a stall outside for the restaurant with chat items and dining place. Parking space is available in front and in the back. Over all its a must try place... and a weekend place to gather with your family and friends.

    Foodies out there, you need to visit this place. The foods are good and taste awesome. The menu is not confined to South Indian dishes, but the North Indian dishes could be much better. The ambience is very good to get your stomach full.

    The food quality at this restaurant is excellent, and the taste is also very good. Although the prices are a bit high, I believe they are worth it considering the high quality of the food and the great service provided. If you're looking for a special night out or a meal to celebrate a special occasion, this restaurant is an excellent choice. Whether you're dining with friends, family, or a significant other, you're sure to have a good experience.

Staff service is very good. Price worthy 👍🏼👌🏼

    Zaitoon Indo-Arabic Restaurant impresses with its fusion of Indian and Arabic flavors. The diverse menu offers tasty dishes at reasonable prices, and the cozy ambiance adds to the dining experience. Don't miss their biryani and kebabs! The service was horrible the waiters were not even friendly at all and even a order of mayonnaise took more than 10 minutes to arrive, most importantly they don't even greet or smile at the table. The ambiance and food is very exquisite and worth every penny.

    Having recently dined at Zaitoon Restaurant, I can wholeheartedly say it stands out as one of the finest Indian restaurants I've had the pleasure of visiting. The flavors at Zaitoon were nothing short of exquisite, each dish revealing a perfect blend of spices that danced on the palate. Beyond the culinary delights, the hospitality was warm and genuine, making us feel truly welcomed and valued. What impressed me further was the impeccable balance of quality and price at Zaitoon. For the exceptional taste and experience offered, the value is unparalleled. If you're seeking an authentic and memorable Indian dining experience, Zaitoon Restaurant is undoubtedly the place to be. Highly recommended!

  • 4/5 Mohamed S. 7 months ago on Google
    Zaitoon at Salwa Road is a renowned multi-cuisine restaurant in Qatar, known for its diverse offerings. During my visit, I enjoyed a variety of dishes including ney pathal, garlic chicken, wheat porotta, Kerala porotta, and Schezwan mixed noodles. The ney pathal was skillfully prepared and delightfully tender, earning a 7/10 rating. The wheat porotta stood out as my preferred bread, impressing with a score of 8/10. However, the Kerala porotta fell slightly short of expectations, receiving a 6/10 rating. Regrettably, the Schezwan mixed noodles lacked spice and flavor, meriting a 5/10 rating. The standout of the meal was undoubtedly the garlic chicken, its generous portion easily satisfying three people, and deserving of a remarkable 9/10 rating. Zaitoon's ambiance, decor, and seating arrangements contributed significantly to the overall experience, meriting a commendable 9/10 score. Taking all aspects into consideration, I rate my experience at Zaitoon at Salwa Road an overall 8/10.

    A good Indian Restaurant for a family get together / dine-out. Food is tasty , service is good . Ambience is ok . Variety of menu is commendable. They got party hall also for special occasions / functions. Been to Zaitoon Branch of salwa road multiple times , and you have to try their fresh milk / samovar tea …

  • 2/5 Esraa Al B. 10 months ago on Google
    So we tried Dahi Buri and it was very tasty but unfortunately that was the only dish we liked The butter chicken tasted fine but for some reason there was a lot of chicken bones in it !! It’s the first time I see such a miserable mistake with the butter chicken The tandoori chicken was extremely spicy, it made us sick The mutton biriani was not good although, the meat was very chewy and mainly bones beside the rice was a very low quality and broken

  • 4/5 Abdul J. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s north Indian restaurant and the ambiance is good. They have delicious food specially for those who likes spices. If you are looking for barbecue with Indian spices then this is your place to enjoy. Zaitoon special chicken barbecue and butter chicken curry was tasty. Russian salad also good and in dessert faluda was yummy.

  • 3/5 mohmed r. 1 year ago on Google
    I tried Chennai Mutton Biriyani today. Bit spicy and yummy. Worth for the paid amount. Calm and peace ambience even if its house full. Service to be improved. The person who came to take the order is not so good at explaining the menu or specials.

  • 5/5 Shahid R. 1 year ago on Google
    The food quality and flavor are excellent, particularly the Zaitoon unique Tandoori Chicken; however, on weekends evenings, you must wait for a table because it is extremely busy. Delicious food 🥘

  • 3/5 Mohammed M. 2 years ago on Google
    Had the seafood platter, not to bad. Kalamari was extremely oily. The whole platter was oily, but the kalamari was bad. We also had the chicken xacata which was okay. Laccha parata was nice. Very crowded on Fridays. Waiters are fairly negligent.
