    We had been there a little late for lunch and we ordered for biryani, tandoori,mutton curry, some parottas and desserts. As always parotta and curry was good. Tandoori was fine. Biryani has lots to improve. Except for biryani everything was good.

    Good place for eating Arabian foods around this area The restaurant also had a good selection of vegetarian dishes too Overall, I would highly recommend this Arabian restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic Middle Eastern dining experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and the service was excellent. I can't wait to go back and try more of their dishes!

    Quality of food is very good. Price is very reasonable. Even though there are plenty of waiters, the service takes quite a lot of time.

    Our Most loved restaurant in chennai.. almost everything on their menu is a must try. The Sizzlers are amazing, and so is the chicken grill platter. By far, finding the Navallur branch better than the Valechery one

    Starters taste awesome. The ambience is good. My suggestion is to try Chicken Manchurian and dragon fish here. Kitchen ventilation is not a good little bit The restaurant becomes a little bit smoky.

    2nd visit review: Had an issue with shwarma kuffus.. it was hard and everything else was awesome. You can definitely enjoy it here without worrying about the taste . 3rd reviews: Today I tried different varieties of food along with the same Shwarma .. This time Kuffus are soft. Seafood platter 🥗 was really wonderful 💯😊 and happy. Thank you 🙏 for your best service. Entire family members are happy. 4th visit review: Totally unsatisfied with the seafood platter.. given written feedback to them..

    We went there for lunch and it was very crowded(maybe due to Sunday afternoon) and we waited for 30 minutes to get to the table. We have ordered chicken fried rice, noodles,few starters and except the fish item The rest of them are good. I tried Kunafa and it was very good. Rates are high only but tastes are okay

    I had BBQ boneless fish , it was so good. I don't like Arabian briyani and Arabian lollypop, chicken tikka platter had 4 different dishes 4 piece in each flavours. Don't miss Turkish chess gunufa one of best dishes I every had.

    I'm a big fan of this zaitoon branch. I have tasted zaitoon food at Ambur and also Anna nagar branch. But its nothing compared to that of navalur branch. Taste is toooooooo good. Only thing needs to be improved is service. They take too much time to serve food. Understandingly this place is always crowded bcz of its location, food and ambiance. Also cost is very very decent. Not expensive compared to other hotels. Keep up the great work.

    It firstly has a nice ambience. Biryani doesn't taste like original biryani ... It's more like tomato rice. Ordered a special starters platter with all seafood and deeply disappointed with its taste. Seems like vegetarian food will be good here than nonveg. And yes it's a bit expensive there. Royal falooda was too good there! Never miss it.

    It is very near to my work location siruseri sipcot . So we used to try every hotels in this surrounding . This is the best hotel we tried in navalur . My favourite dish is fish bone less barbecue,lovely taste as like jelly. Next item is barbecue chicken with pepper . Mutton briyani is attraction for the main course . Finally we used to have fresh juice . Also vegetarian dishes also very good in taste and flavours. Parking is available in front of hotel service road . Good service . Pls try and enjoy

    Ambiance, service and location are good but good taste was not upto the mark. I would say, not so great, not so bad....just ok ok. They have less options in vegitarian.

    Restaurant has good ambience.. food is genuine. If you go for Shawarma I would say big no.. Shawarma is below average for the cost.. try kunafa and other desserts..

  • 4/5 Venkatesh R. 2 years ago on Google
    Had Good choice. Better call check availability and go on weekends because when we reached we had to wait for sometime. Had G+2 Floors. Ordered Wheat Paratha, Mushroom Masala, Non Veg Platter, Paneer Dry, Mutton Nenjelumbu Soup, Veg Green Peas Soup, Fish Biryani. Had Mini Falooda and Lime Mint Juice fir dessert. We were people of 3. It was Heavy for us. Loved Wheat Parotta along with Mushroom Masala, Taste was too good and excellent choice together, Tawa Paneer was good Non Veg Platter in definitely for 4 People. We couldn't eat and took Parcel. Fish Biryani was okay but Fish pieces had heavy fish smell. Mini Falooda was good. Lime Mint was okay. Service people very polite and assisted us throughout the Meal Experience. They also packed our food which we couldn't eat there. There are sofa in ground floor for waiting area. Negatives: Nearly after 10 Minutes we sitting down, no body came and offered water. Orders cooking times took aong time for each dish to get delivered and we ended up spending close to 2 Hours. Overall paid Rs.2499/_. Experience was okay.

    Delicious food and prompt service. The price is bit higher. Tender coconut falooda and sea food platter are a must try.

  • 4/5 Amanjot K. 5 months ago on Google
    Zaitoon is a go to place for me and my family. I love the pita bread and hummus from there. The shawarma is also really good My favourite is KUNAFA - Classic one <3 The service however is slow. The dum biryani is not good. However, the staff runs fast and try to bring food as early as posisble on the table. OVERALL- Everytime a great experience :)

  • 4/5 Kannan G. 7 months ago on Google
    Tried Zaitoon Special Platter.. 3/4th of the foods were delicious.. Rest of them average... Butter naan and panner butter masala also excellent.. But prize is little costlier..

  • 3/5 Krishnan S. 9 months ago on Google
    The BBQ chicken, lamb kozi laham, and hot and sour chicken soup were absolutely amazing. The flavors were outstanding and left a lasting impression. However, the dining experience was somewhat hampered by the presence of numerous flies, which affected the atmosphere negatively. Despite this, I highly recommend visiting for the delicious food. The flavors are truly worth experiencing, even though improvements in the dining environment would enhance the overall experience.

  • 4/5 Madhesh Raj S. 8 months ago on Google
    'Creamy cheese kunafa' with added ice cream- Must try Don't ever order 'Clope Meshwi' - Too much oily. Tastes are very good.

  • 1/5 Mohamed R. 6 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Vishnu H. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious dishes. Everything was good. Arabic platter, chicken chettinad, falooda. Even the mayonnaise and other side sauce was good. Dining area is at the first floor. Got nice ambiance and friendly staff. The rates are a bit on the higher side but the quality is worth it. Great for family and friends. Service time is a bit higher and parking is hard to find due to some construction works going on.

  • 4/5 sandesh r. 8 months ago on Google
    One of the great restaurants, with great ambience and hygienic food. Food lover can certainly enjoy the month watering crusines. The rates are quite reasonable. Wide variety of veg and non veg menu. Parking is behind the restaurant, one has to menuver in narrow passage to parking area.

  • 4/5 Harish K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good place to go with family and friends... As usual their BBQ and grill items are awesome. Starters are good but their biriyani is not upto the mark...

  • 5/5 VASAN 11 months ago on Google
    Not budget friendly, but worthy for each penny spent.. we ordered the following 1. Nonveg platter - chicken was so juicy and tender we ordered only half plate. It comes with 15 pieces 2. Mutton sizzler - spicy🔥 but yummy 3. Rotti basket - wide variety of rottis 4. crispy baby corn - tangy 🥰 5. butterscotch icecream milkshake - a power punch 6. cheese kunafa - sweet and yummy and the most important you have valet parking..

    First time in (RN) and YOU have to go! It’s the cutest little spot with amazing food. The (FN) is to die for. IT WAS FIRE!! The service we received was so amazing and we will definitely be back again. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience

  • 5/5 John C. 1 year ago on Google
    A bit costly but other than that Food , Service and ambience were too good 😊 Valet parking also available Update on Apr-2023 Tried their Non veg platter its worth 2k instead of going of individual starters once can opt for this ... Sufficient enough for 6 ppl... They will take 20 to 25 mins to prepare it.. but its worth the price and time 😋😋

    Visited Zaitoon with family for dinner on my daughter's birthday. It was a friday, the first floor was full around 9:30 pm and we had to take the seats on the second floor. The ambience is decent, and the washrooms were clean. Ordered Veg and Non veg platters, Arabian rice, Shawarma, Falooda, and Prawn biriyani. Their non veg platters were very good interms of taste, quality, and quantity. Enjoyed the Arabian rice and Mango falooda. Prawn biriyani was a big let down, we returned it as the prawns were not cooked properly. Parking can be challenging. We parked it on the roadside. Overall, it is a good restaurant to try a variety of non veg dishes. Recommended.

    Went to zaitoon as my kid was asking to go eat, outside, as it was close to the the place we were visiting went there, a big location with multiple floors , vale parking, and a good selection of veg and non veg. Had alfham chicken, and had veg green soup, also order butter naan and panner mutter masala, which was tasty. The overall bill was 1600 rs a bit more than what I expected.

😠 The customer service needs to be improved a lot and that’s the reason for this rating. We ordered meals for lunch for 16 members but realized it was for only 15 members and we immediately requested for canceling 1 lunch but that supervisor said can’t be canceled, which is absolutely possible to hono...

👍 Went for breakfast, it was a good experience, there were many small rooms that can accommodate around 3 or 4 tables. Ghee roast was good, so was Pongal and vadai. For vegetarians this is a good option to try when you visit OMR in chennai.
