We celebrated our uncle's 25th wedding anniversary at Zaitoon... The party hall was very spacious and the taste of the food was also good... The ambiance was really good...
Zaitoon and seashell were at its prime probably ten years back. Now I can tell you that zaitoon has still stood its ground.
Things I recommend
Special bbq chicken (must try)
BBQ fish
Pepper bbq chicken
Mutton biriyani(must try)
Mexican shawarma.
Variety foods available with Good portion.
Grilled chicken, fried rice, kebab, tandoori and mutton briyani are my favorites
Good food we enjoyed delicious food
Friendly staff
Afghan chicken was not cooked well
The portion of the food is ample and two can share a biriyani. Try the tandoori platter from zaitoon, it has more than 18 piece of chicken,fish and mutton kebabs. The hospitality is ok and the time taking for them serve the food is very long. We had to wait more than 30 mins for the tandoori platter.
My go to place for chicken barbecue. My fav dishes here would be chicken barbecue, fish barbecue boneless, zaitoon special chicken lollipop (a totally different taste to our usual lollipops), dragon prawns.
Good and had a great time with friends .there barbecue is always spl for me super cool and zaitoon always stands best in my mind . everything that they serve is good nd healthy
The place is good and they are keeping the restaurant is good . They have many signature dishes like Arabian grill and pepper bbq 🍗 is very good . They are keeping pennut salt 🧂 Mayo. The soup is also good . The briyani is same as other restaurant.. All dishes are good and tasty 😋...
One of the good non veg restaurants out there. All their chicken dishes are good. I like their noodles and mughal egg biriyaani the most. Good place to hang out with family.
My first attempt with iftar box. What's inside the box water bottle, Tropicana juice, box of haleem, one samosa, one piece of bbq chicken , kuboos, one chicken shawarma, idiyappam, chicken gravy, box of biryani, fruit salad, ND a dessert.. All costed RS 350. Wfm
My family and I visited this place for dinner .. we usually visit the brand in knk.. this time we wanted to try Anna Nagar due to it being at close proximity to my house ..so this time I wanted to try something new and so I had ordered the chicken sizzlers .. well I'll just say .. it was a wrong place to order sizzlers.. it was quite a disappointment.. the rice as rubbery and hard ..the chicken was over cooked ..hence had to chew double hard to be able to swallow .. the gravy was less in quantity and was not great either .. over all bad experience with the sizzlers
However the rest of the food was great ..
We ordered fried rice
Wheat Parotha
Chicken Lahori gravy
Grilled chicken
Afghani kebabs
And stuffed chicken ( which was the best )
I like the place . I'll visit it again. But jus wouldn't try their sizzlers ever again..!
It's a paradise for Arabic Food lovers...Nice Ambience.Staff friendly restaurant. Pepper Barbeque , Moroccan BbQ and Shawarama with tasty mayo is a must try food. One of the Best Arabian restaurant in Chennai
Food was worth the 💰. I loved the butter naan and butter chicken... Lollipop was above average and chicken dum briyani was good.. WORTH IT AND I WOULD SUGGEST THIS PLACE
Zaitoon maintains a good balance between its food items and its offerings. Both Biriyanis and chinese items are great.Well known for its grills. Not a fan of its shawarma. A Great family restaurant✌️
A really nice place to dine in with family or loved one and also order online, I personally recommend the pepper barbecue and Arabian chicken lollipop
Food briyani was excellent and taste was great among the other restaurant taste was great and packing was perfect thanks not much of spice that was unique

One of the well know place in Anna Nagar East famous for it's Grill,Platter and Arabic cuisine .Its Located in Anna Nagar East Next to the Chintamani Signal on the main road and can be located easily.
It has parking facility and delivery options are also available and one can also order through Zomato and other delivery partners.
I visited this place so soon nearly at 12:15 PM and the most of the dishes were not ready and I could only review what I can get and about the ambience it's really neat and could feel the great atmosphere and service is also good but one thing is waiters just go away and stand at the end and talk with the co workers and leave us without attending and we need to call them when it is necessary.
So as it was so early and just after a few minutes of restaurant opening I could just order few items and review it and the following items are.
⭐ Dragon Chicken - The Quantity of the Dragon Chicken was Good and it had the juicy extract and the chicken was well cooked and soft and it was well blend with the masala .
⭐ Mutton Biryani - The Mutton Biryani was not up to the mark and the Mutton piece was also not cooked properly and is to be noted.
⭐ Chicken Fried Rice - The Chicken Fired Rice was really Good and it is a must try option at this place and I really loved it and the flavour is awesome.
⭐ Veg Fried Rice - Tasted Good and the toppings of Vegetables were very fresh and tastes good and went well with the mixed vegetable masala.
⭐ Sizzler - It Took time for preparing and though it was worth waiting for it as it was Soo Good and can definately try it without thinking and the only thing which was bad was it's quantity as it was very small and the amount of bucks for this is not worth it's quantity .
Overall a very good experience and the things to be noted is the quantity of the Sizzler and the masala of the Mutton Biryani. Otherwise everything is good and good place for a Family outing or a reunion.
Rate wise Costly but worth a dine Fish Biryani is the best dish available here kindly try one so you waiting go here and try the mouth watering taste
Arabian dishes, the best.
Must haves:
1. Fish Singapore
2. Red dragon chicken
3. Shawarma
Needs improvement: ambience and serving time.
It's pretty crowded most of the times, but the wait time is definitely worth it.

Taste - 4.5/5

VFM - 4.5/5
Overall - 4/5
Especially chicken starters are awesome taste and the fried rice quantity also good and enough. But the serving time is min 20 minutes have to wait. Try to serve as quickly you can
They are always the best. Providing Yummy Dishes. Brownie With Hot Chocolate is their Must Try Signature Dessert. Wonderful Ambience. Perfect place for family Food Time.
Excellent food. Tastes better than most other restaurants. Shawarma is a must have. The ambience is not very great. It feels congested and crowded. The real drawback is the service time. It’s takes way too long. But we didn’t mind it much as we weren’t in a hurry and the taste makes up for what it lacks in time.
Wow zaitoon was the best restaurant where the food was great. And the service of the staff hats of to them .please go and dine in zaitoon and taste the quality of food and experience the services it's wonderful
Yum, good quality and quantity with budget menu and quick service.nice arabian dishes with perfect taste.sme best dishes include arabian platter , kings prawns etc..
I have crossed Zaitoon multiple times but never made an order or visited previously before today. I have ordered mutton raan biriyani, it tasted good. It tasted similar to thalaserry biriyani which my mom prepares in home. Mutton pieces were properly cooked.
Wonderful place for foood more quantity more tasty but price is better supper placccceeee the biriyanis are very tasty i dont know to how to say in words
Located in Kilpauk Garden road, it's very easy to find this place. There is no specific Parking Area but it's bearable for two Wheelers. You'll be greeted by a bunch of Swiggy & Zomato guys in the ground Floor. The Dining is in the first floor.
When it comes to food 'Special BBQ' is the chef special. You cannot find a better BBQ anywhere. You can never miss this dish! Briyani is nothing special and it's moderately good with a 80:20 Rice meat ratio. Soups are okay , Starters are good and desserts are amazing.
Good food friendly and polite full staff worth for money had chicken bbq and fried noodles worth for money service was pretty late order had come aftr 30 mins

Zaitoon never disappoints, be it Arabian or Indian, they have set a standard for themselves. The Kozi Dazaj and Kozi Laham are my personal favourites. The seafood platter is a must try, absolute delight. The ambience and staff behaviour is very decent as well.
My ratings would be, Food - 4.5, Service - 4, Staff behaviour - 4, Price Value - 4, Ambience - 4 and Cleanliness - 4.5.
Overall Rating - 4.2 out of 5
Recently I went there . everything over there is awesome. Pah. Seenu. My friends and I enjoyed there. Dishes were not only tasty but also creative.
A Must Try Joint When In Chennai!!!
The best Arabic flavour in Chennai , extremely amazing platters , especially the tandoori platter ,grilled prawns and mutton biriyani ( the rice is perfectly cooked and it's like pearls ) the best hospitality ever and I'm overwhelmed by their service , staffs are well behaved and courteous.
A big shout out to people who haven't tried this joint .
Looking forward to see Zaithoon in Cochin too!!
Excellent place to be in for some great food...we tried the Chicken Manchow Soup, Singapore Fish, Chicken Shanghai Rice, and Hunan Chicken. For desserts, we had Black Lady. Food was really good and the quantity was substantial for two people. The Singapore Fish was a particular delight, the right mix of sweet and spicy with juicy fish at the core. It is a little hard on the pocket pinch but worth the quality. Ambience is pretty amazing as well and the staff is knowledgeable and very friendly and courteous.
It is recommended that you book a table before visiting if you are not comfortable with the idea of waiting. Else, be prepared for a waiting time that could vary between 10-30 minutes depending on the time of your visit.
Love the food at Zaitoon. It’s my all time favourite place. The staff are very friendly and the service is very quick. The food is really good. My favourite dish is the Dragon Chicken, BBQ chicken and their Tandoori chicken. The place is clean and tidy. No complains at all. I visit this branch very often and I’m very content.
I thought this restaurant is famous for barbecue...... But briyani is also very tasty......

We have been here numerous times , especially when they were relatively new .our experience at beginning was pretty good and we really enjoyed their food . however the last time we went there service let us down badly ...
awesome taste ......yummmyyyyyyyyy
Love the food from zaitoon... Superb packaging very neat and clean...if offers are given for online order then it will be too good to buy often...thanks
Recently I had lunch in Zaitoon. It was a memorable experience and the food tasted best. Ordered mutton soup, bbq chicken, prawn tawa dish and mutton biryani. Everything was good and perfect. Mutton biryani is like Muslim style and not very flavourful.
Recommended. Helpful, smiling staff even when in a rush, good food, slightly crowded, but 'ok' ambiance that suits the tier of restaurant. Not much more to say. They do have valet parking, so that's good...
Zaitoon has been my favourite go to restaurant for years. This branch is also one of my favourite restaurants in this area.
Food: Yummy recipes, served great with authentic taste. The Kebab fest special menu items were a must try... The Laham sheekh Kebab was perfect.
Dining: I can say that the restaurant is very congested in space but the ambience was ok. Service and behaviour also ok.
Pleasant ambience to enjoy with family and friends.
Food was good. We tried Al-faham chicken, Manchow soup, Chicken noodles, Butter naan with chicken butter masala (jaggery added I/o sugar), Variety of mojito and ended on a high note with
Cashew kunafa.
Seating was a bit uncomfortable for long legged people.
We tried mutton nalli soup (good), Tandoori non veg platter ( which is excellent with variety of meats cooked in different flavours)., Mutton dum biriyani (also good). Service is good, right place for families and groups... Weekends, usually the place is filled with crowd. I strongly recommend to try their platters. I think Zaitoon is very good at this.
Food is good . But it's costly. I ordered chicken biryani. Chilli chicken. Kunafa it's good.
😋😋😋😋😋, loved everything I had here, especially Laham Meshwi was fabulous. Tandoori chicken was also not dry like other places. The soup was great, the biryani was good. Highly recommended for the amazing starters.
Best food ever. Mutton raan is very soft and tasty, bbq fish is awsm, chiken tikka roll is superb, Butter naan remains soft throughout the meal, mutton roug Ghosh is good. Mutton biriyani and chicken biriyani was good.. Alfam bbq was ok. Dragon chicken was awesome. The bbq fish was very soft, juicy and tasty.
Ambience is nice. Food is tasty. Greats place for a family dinner.
Had my most memorable dinner here with my family last year 05/03/2022!!! 🥺was quite congested as it was on a Saturday but luckily we didn’t had to wait! The food was greatt! The ambience was not up to par but loved the time spent there✨🥺
I have had grilled and tandoori in many places, But it is really amazing here, it is very well cooked and the chicken is very juicy.There are so many number of items apart from our normal Grilled and tandoori. I would really recommend this place for both non vegetarian and vegetarian food lovers to experience this place. Even the vegetarian kabab and side dishes are amazing. There a lot of desert items as well to choose from.
The exotic Mutton Biryani was crafted with a unique style with the right spices cooked at the optimal temperature to bring the authentic and real taste of biryani. The ambience and the service was above expectations.

Very tasty and delicious food. I suggest the best spot for Arabic food in town. Also, the staff provide us with amazing service. Loved it all.
Excellent service, I have informed them to keep two Iftar boxes for me and despite my late arrival at the restaurant, they have kept the boxes ready and served us on the table. It was sumptuous and value for the money. They have increased the contents this year and it is more than enough for two persons.

One of the best multi cuisine restaurants in and around Anna Nagar.
Mutton Nalli Soup was a good start.. Zaitoon SPL BBQ was Superb!! Tawa Prawns were Juicy and Excellent Taste.. Chicken Seek kabab and Paneer Tikka was good as well.. Kunafa and Turkish Baklava flavour wise same but tastes fantastic !! Finally don't miss the Tender Coconut Falooda!! (Missed some pics in hungry mode 😋)

I went to Zaitoon Anna Nagar recently. As they say you should reach the restaurant before 12PM or before 12:30 at least for lunch or you will see yourself waiting in queue. First time in my life i tried Arabian dishes.. I started with chicken spicy soup which was nice... It had more chicken pieces unlike what i used to see in other restaurants... The clope Meshwy with kuboos and nice garlic flavored mayonnaise is a creamy and crunchy treat. Squid roast was crunchy and tasty but it had some raw fish smell... Not a big deal though. Arabian Kozi Rice was good. Flavor is also good. But taste is not upto the mark as its a very plain main dish. The gravy they provide with the rice is the same my mother used to make with chapathi in my home and the quantity is also very less.... But you can ask for extra gravy... Even that's not enough to finish the rice.. So better i would say is you must be needing a gravy dish to finish this Kozi rice.. I also had Effa Dejaj (missed to take snap) - flat chicken with spicy coating (4 pieces). It was super tasty and the spice is also very good.. i would recommend Clope Meshwy and Effa Dejaj to new people who wanted to give a try here...
The ending Dessert Tender Coconut falooda is also very nice... I wanted to make one thing clear. Wherever you have ice-cream the coconut flavor actually tastes like dried one. Yeah coconut should be served as a fresh one. So i had the similar taste in the ice cream they used in falooda... But the coconut pieces and other sweeteners are really nice...
My family was really happy with the quality and taste of food. Overall it costed ₹2560 for 4 persons. We as a family won't eat a lot. So it may differ from people.
I would like to visit again to try the mutton dishes, sea food platters and barbecue dishes.
Overall rating - 4.5/5 ☺️
