Very much enjoyed this place. It was highly ranked and thought we would check it out. Staff was so friendly. Met the owners and they were very kind. The food was great! Had the Barley Soup and the Combo. My only wish was that the bread was warm instead of cold. Dont let that stop you though. Also given the choice, go for the chicken over the beef. I enjoyed both, but liked the chicken more.
Great friendly staff. Definitely try the Vaziri Kabob combo. Best kobideh in town.
Absolutely amazing! The place is beautiful and staff are super friendly and the food is delicious.The menus options are an excellent value. The dining experience overall is very pleasant. Highly recommend
I am a 75 yrs old Iranian American. In the course of my life, I have been to many different countries and restaurants. In particular lately in Los Angeles/ Santa Monica, the Persian/Iranian communities, i have tried the variety of the foods offered there at the many fancy and upscale restaurants.I am delighted to highly recommend the food at Zeitoon Cafe, it is certainly authentic, delicious and generous portions at a very reasonable price.Zeitoon is not a fancy restaurant or splashy place, but the food makes it all worth the visit. Service is just fine and the owners are more than friendly and accommodating.If you like middle eastern/Persian food, dont miss out this place.We love it and now go there regularly for our fix once a week.ENJOY
Delicious food! Very slow service, but I presume that was because everything was fresh made. They didnt offer us water. They didnt check back with us to see if we needed anything. But if you are in the mood for delicious Persian food, give this place a try and come hungry because the portions are huge.
Lana s we’re little bit salty, beef did not taste good. I do not mind paying more if they have told me up front. Cashier just charged me 10% service charge for what? They never came to serve us or asked if we needed anything, took 10 minutes to come back to take our order, good took 20 minutes to be ready, they had no rice although they did tell us but they should consider that something. Food 3% hot food 8.25% taxes total 5.10. Simply it’s better to go to a restaurant since they charge you what’s the menu has priced. Never going back again or doing business with these guys. I have a picture proof of all the hidden charges.
Friendly staff, authentic Persian food, and reasonable prices. Saffron chicken kebab was amazing, and the service matched it! There were so many great choices that it was hard to pick one off the menu! Ill definitely be back for more.
I absolutely love this place. The food is amazing and the people are so friendly. I always feel welcome and the people who own are amazing. Thank you so much for everything.
I found this store and restaurant thanks to my Iranian friends. They prefer going to this place over other places since they find everything they need there at a good price. But the food is just unbelievable! Their kabob is one of the best things I’ve ever tried before, so tasty, served in a really cool and traditional fashion. This is for sure my favorite place to eat Iranian food in SLC.
Having been to Afghanistan and been able to eat local foods while there, I feel that those looking for great flavors from that region in the middle east need look no further. The Kabobs, humus and other items on the cafe menu are fantastic. If you like to cook and experiment on your own, the market has all of the seasonings and spices you will need. I will be back, this place is now my number 1 spot for great Persian food.
Great place to find mediteranian food 😋 ask them for afternoon tea and pastries. It smells fresh and delicious. 😋
Amazing food, very nice and clean restaurant, lovely gentleman taking your order. The market is stocked with everything you might need and the prices are very reasonable. I like that everything is marked with price unlike some of the other ethnic markets. The owner is so polite and warm and really makes you feel welcome. I used to go to another persian restaurant but have switched to this one because of the reasons above. Try it out and you wint be disappointed. Their beef kabob is soooooo juicy!
Great service, excellent selection and friendly atmosphere.Highly recommend it.
I ordered the chicken kabobs for carry out and I will definitely be back for more. The gentleman who helped me was super nice and helpful and the food was delicious. When he handed me the bag I was surprised by the weight of the food. Worth every penny. Thank you Zeitoon market!
Tasty food, Ive tried their Eggplant appetizer, Chicken kabob and Koobide kabob. Everything was amazing. Highly recommended.
The best food, best service and the owner is always friendly and welcoming. I love this place and always support this amazing business.
If you look for a friendly place with delicious middle eastern food you should try Zeitoon! Staffs are so friendly and respectful. Foods are so delicious and very well cooked. Waiting time for food is short and comes with nice serving. I love the idea of the store and the restaurant together! You would definitely enjoy your time there!
Found this place very randomly while visiting Salt Lake and really didnt expect much before going there. But after ordering their Kebab dish, I must say I was surprised. I live in San Jose and so I know a few Persian restaurants in my town and I can claim Zeitoons Koobideh kebab was really tasty and juicy. Definitely recommend this place is you havent tried it yet.
You’ll never regret eating at Zaitoon. They make the best Kababs in town.
Wonderful service. Great food 😋. Highly recommended 👌
Hands down the best Kabab I tried in SLC
The ground beef kabab (Koobideh) here is the best!
This place is awesome, my family loves it, they have delicious food .
Absolutely amazing food and the people who work there are so nice! I went in knowing nothing about middle eastern food so I asked the man to surprise me! It. Was. Fantastic!There are also so many treasures to be found in the market! Restaurant and a market in one place is my new favorite thing! I bought a cute tea kettle for a really low price so Im very happy about that!Overall I love this place and will be visiting way more often!
Always kind, always helpful ! This is my favorite place to shop !!
Friendly service, and great food and love shopping there.
This place is hands down the best genuine persian restaurant you can get in utah! The rest of persian restaurants here are all mixed with Indian and Arabic multi cultural food.This comes from a foodie that IUsed to go to restaurants in Iran everyday all day!!Foods are amazing and spices are on point!Sometimes they have fresh baked persian bread!!! (Barbari)And freshly baked persian pastries as well!They have majority of persian/arabic/Turkish/Russian products In their grocery store as well!Staffing is very welcoming and friendly and its always a pleasure going there!If you are planning to try actual original native persian food and pastries give them a shot and thank me later.You are welcome!
As my 3rd market Ive been to today, this one was the first restaurant coupled with a market. They have a nice variety and it smells delightful! I was looking for specific items which they didnt have exactly, but a nice man gave me a bag of bread thats similar to what Im looking for. He called it a gift and it touched my heart. So lovely!!
Great staff. Persian style grocery market. Beyond that, stunningly delicious pastry and impressive persian style foods. Go ahead and try it. You would love it for sure.👌😋
I highly recommend Zeitoon Restaurant to my friends. It was very clean. and the hospitality was excellent. They treated us with respect.With this pandemic, all hygienic conditions were observed. I really enjoyed there.
Try some flavors you may not be accustomed to. Excellent owners/staff, market items, and grill before 7 pm. One of the best places to buy turmeric and sumac for your aging joints/inflammation and circulation issues.
This store is amazing the employees are super sweet and their food is amazing
If you are a foodie like me, Zeitoon is a veritable wonderland of hard-to-find ingredients, foods, and fruits. The environment is clean and inviting and the owners are so welcoming and helpful. 10/10 recommend to anyone visiting Utah!
Get a free trip to the East and fantastic food. The portions are enormous and the beef cabob is AMAZING. The owner served us our food and was the kindest person you could imagine. Take a date, plan on leftovers or share a meal. About ~$15/plate (median)
The food at the cafe was excellent, fresh and flavorfull, and the service very friendly. Next time I will have to buy something from the market too. There were so many interesting food items for sale.
The food here is amazing, I had the beef koobide and it took me back to Iran. very authentic and delicious food and the variety of products at the store is also great
Best Persian Kabab khobideh in Utah
Just ordered lunch for 8 people. A sampling of kabobs and stews. Turns out I had 10 people show up. Everyone loved it. Quality was great and still have so much extra food that I now have left overs for entire weekend.
Im living in Provo and dont hesitate to drive for about an hour, since the food, bread, and food here is amazing. Owner and his wife are super nice and friendly and I really enjoy my shopping here. I highly suggest to visit here.
Delicious food and excellent service!!
Clean place. Very generous owner. Wish they had lebanese pita bread though.
Bread and food is great in this place. Fresh produce merchandise is always fresh and at low price. We also ordered our party food and it was great!!! Just give it a try.
Best persian kabob in town. Specially their ground beef kabob. They have grocery with a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables and a lot of Mediterranean essentials.
Does not have the item thats literally on the front of their store...
Its good food here.
Nice and friendly employees . excellent customer service . you can find whatever you need there. And plus they have the best Persian food in town
Great service, great food. The chicken was my favorite, flavorful 😋
We have been to Zeitoon Market several times now and each time we absolutely love it. We have tried the breads, cheeses, always get some lamb. The owner is so nice and helpful, he is so nice to the kids and usually gives them a treat. Whenever I go to Midvale, I always try to swing by to buy some groceries. Cant wait to go back!!
Great food and service
Best kebab and rice Ive ever had! They have vegan friendly options too! Along with authentic persian groceries!
Nothing but great experience at Zeitoon Market & Cafe. They have the best Koobideh, Joojeh and Barg. They also make home bread which is absolutely amazing the barbaree (Bread). Definitely check out this place and make sure you get the ground beef Kabob or Soltani dish which both are really good. They also have really good Lavashak (Fruit Roll ups).
Very good food and there are cool things in the market too!
Excellent lunch and manager brought me a great Persia sauce. Great atmosphere and they have market in the restaurant. 😄😄
Good place to get a bite to eat!

Really authentic middle eastern food, great people, the owner and his wife are very friendly.We had the beef kebab, very delicious and the plates are very elegant 👌
Best Persian grocery in Utah. Reasonable prices. Very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Despite their small size, they have built a growing trustworthy business over the past few years.
Awesome i love the food and the customer service big 10

My boyfriend and I enjoyed our Saturday date in this amazing place. The staffs are friendly and the food is high quality. Also, it was very cheap compare to other middle eastern restaurants. We would definitely go back again and I highly recommend this place to anyone!
Currently the best spot for Persian Kabob. Running by great Kiarash ✅
This a great middle eastern store. You can rider food here and buy items to take home and cook yourself
I loved this place. This place is not only a great middle eastern market but also they have some traditional Persian food that is hard to find elsewhere especially in Utah with fantastic quality. Also they have great pastries here.

Great products from all over the world wonderful experience awesome customer service nice and very helpful people!
Very clean inside and they are getting to ready to set up a deli too. Huge selection of spices. I chatted with the owner who is very nice and offered to give me cooking lessons. He said just pick out a Persian recipe and come back in. I plan too!
Very friendly, good selection. They even serve kabob on Saturdays!
Great prices on great food. Nice being able to grab tasty snacks for a good price.
