Beverly Owens: I was craving Chicken Schwarma so we made a first-time stop to Aladdin's.Disappointed to say the least! It did not taste nor look like any of the Chicken Schwarma's that I've had in the past. The restaurant itself is dirty and service is lackluster.

Edrees: As someone who has lived in Michigan for a while and has sampled Mediterranean cuisine from various cities like Detroit, Dearborn, Troy, and others, I must say that this particular establishment is overrated. The lamb lacks any discernible taste despite its tenderness, and the chicken also lacks flavor. When it comes to prices, Sahara in Sterling Heights offers better value for money, and their food is superior, especially if you don't mind dining at a chain restaurant. However, if you're looking for a local restaurant that provides a more satisfying experience, I highly recommend trying Tabooli. If you're seeking a diluted version of Mediterranean cuisine, this place might suit you.

Marios Fotiadis: I placed an order of chicken shawarma through uber eats, yet the only thing that tasted right was the rice and the pita .The chicken tasted and smelled completely different than any other time, as if it was from an older batch.I called the store right away to report my horrible experience,however the manager seemed to not care about my complain and kept reassuring me that next time he will take care of my order.

Angela Levack Michael: I think their chicken shawarma is some of the best! Their garlic sauce is also amazing. I love this restaurant, it's one of my favorites.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Combo Platter …More

Ashton Elizabeth: My family and I have been getting consistently great Mediterranean food from Sultans for longer than I can remember. Now that I moved out of the Lansing area, visits are few and far between, but always AMAZING every single time!Just wish they’d open a location in Owosso. We desperately need some variety out here! ;-)*No pictures. We ate all of our food way to fast - Haha*

Susan Dean: Family platter was so very, very good! Very warm atmosphere and friendly service. I am not a fan of grape leaves but now I am. All meats grilled to order. Highly recommend🙂

Abby Mondro: I absolutely love this place. Ever since I moved to East Lansing for college, I have been missing my hometown Mediterranean restaurant, and I was so pleased to discover a place that makes food as good as they do. I like to treat myself to carryout once a week, and as much as I try to switch it up, it always ends up being carryout from here! The owners and employees are so kind, the food is delicious, and the prices are great. I have tried everything on the menu basically, but I would highly recommend the crushed lentil soup, makhali, veggie and/or lamb grape leaves, lamb kabob dinner, chicken shawarma dinner, garlic sauce, and their health cocktail raw juice.

C M: Among the best, if not the best, Middle Eastern restaurant in EL. I recommend their catering above anything else as their dine in experience and catering are vastly different. The staff are also very kind and attentive. Their eggplant salad, babagnoush, Burgulr, & Lamb Shank are a must-try. Cheese cake is always a pleasure to have.

Joanne Sime: Excellent food! Everyone has to eat here.

Michelle Kaufmann: Got the Chicken Schwarma Sandwich with garlic sauce. It was so flavorful and juicy. I forgot to take a picture because I was really hungry and inhaled this thing! Also got the baklava, which was the perfect sweet end to my lunch. Be advised, do not try to eat this sandwich while driving, you will end up covered in it like I did. But sooooo worth it!

Shahzad Qurashi: Salam all, this place was amazing. The generosity and sincerity of brother Rayhaan and his kids were unbelievable. They made me realize the importance of brotherhood in Islam and supporting our own halal businesses. ANYONE who visits east lansing MUST come here! Food quality without a doubt was amazing and the quantity was subhanallah! May Allah bless this family!

LeRoy Harvey: friendly service, great food, and quite a broad and unique variety of tasty dishes. for vegetarians and meat eaters.

Ali Sykal: The restaurant food is so good here and the best service

Chris guardiola: Good food, better when it's fresh. Cheap

Joel Doolittle: I got the sparty’s regular plate with Greek salad, eggplant salad, white rice, and lamb kebabs. I quite enjoyed the meal, especially the lamb kebabs and rice. The eggplant salad wasn’t for me, but my little brother loved it. The restaurant had no wait time and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Overall I’d definitely recommend trying Sparty’s

Julie Powers: I wanted to love this place as I love locally owned places but it's just ok. Nothing (other than the babaganoush) had much flavor. We were especially disappointed in the garlic sauce which had zero garlic flavor. The babaganoush is the star, you should get lots of it.Food: 3/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 2/5 …More

Green Mountain: Food very expensive

Ken Ladd: I got my chicken sandwich grilled and it was wrapped in paper that then transferred to the pita bread and couldn’t pull it off. Seriously don’t wrap the sandwich in paper and then put it in the grill.

Mariya: Food was cold dry and not fresh Al all

Farah Siddiqi: Convenient for spartans ..Halal Iraqi cuisine..portion size is justified with price..complete meal in a platter

Drew Williams: Family restaurant? Served buffet line. Some good flavors here. Meats seem a tad inconsistent and often dry however. Best go early in the day when foods are fresh I think.

Susan Martin: Yum. Excellent. Seriously good food. The rice is perfect! I'm in love with the hummus. Chicken Shawarma is so flavorful. Absolutely going to be a weekly thing.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Heather Field: We found several beads in our salad. My daughter almost choked on it. They apologized and were aware that a bracelet broke during prep. It seemed to me that they could have easily avoided serving that to customers. They gave us a gift card, and we tried them a second time. That time, I paid extra for a salad and never got it. Other parts of our order were wrong. The restaurant is not very clean either. We will not be back.

Ilona Forshey: I grew up eating Mediterranean food, so I've eaten a lot of it over the years. This place is fantastic. For a very understated place, they are serving up insanely amazing food. The signed Guy Fieri poster mentioning the restaurant by the register makes complete sense now. Absolutely delicious.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options

Paul Titov: Been coming here since they opened, used them on 3 catering occasions and couldn’t be more satisfied. Sammy (owner) is a great guy and always took care of our needs. Great job Zeytoon!!!

Joseph Christmas: We arrived at 6PM and were out of gyros (daily special), kafta and lentils. They also only serve lamb on weekends, which isn’t mentioned on their website or menus.The food they actually had was very disappointing. The tabouli was flavorless, as were the Greek fries. The flafel and hummus was ok. The bread was really good. Overall this trip was terrible experience.

les vanalstine: Very limited menu and really really poor service. Very bad attitude.

miles fitzpatrick: Zaytoon’s is the best Mediterranean restaurant in the Greater Lansing Area HANDS DOWN! It’s owned and operated by my personal friend, Sammy Aburashed, who was born and raised in Lebanon. He has been featured TWICE on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives of which I appeared in one episode!! If you’re looking for that AUTHENTIC MIDDLE EAST / Mediterranean taste, look no further!! (Pictured below is my most recent dinner from Zaytoon’s.

Robert Byrnes: Great Mediterranean restaurant. Always going back.Food: 5/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 4/5 …More

Nabeel Kasim: After hearing a lot of great things about Zaytoons, I came here for lunch with a friend. It was an overcast day so I must admit photos of the exterior look a bit dilapidated. Nonetheless, upon walking into the restaurant, the dining area was noticeably dark. They had a huge menu with lots of options to choose from. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate. It came with rice hummus, shawarma, and choice of soup or salad. I went with their lentil soup. The rice was basic par-boiled rice, nothing to write home about. As for the hummus, lentil soup, and chicken, there was a nice mix of spice and textures that made the dish a yummy combination. But, there was nothing significant about presentation, flavors, or preparations that really sets this restaurant apart as mediterranean restaurant. While the food didn’t showcase much flare, I must say the staff and service is reason to come back. The lovely ladies who were working hard to take orders and deliver food to tables were super friendly and made sure that we were taken care of. All in all, Zaytoon’s is a place to grab a quick bite for lunch with friends, family, or coworkers but I really wouldn’t credit it for much more than that. Given the location, they are doing the area a service.

Steve B: Five different employees have now stated that the owner of this company has not been paying them their wages, including a former General Manager. In response to this, the owner claims all 5 former employees are disgruntled and "out to get him". This is the height of gaslighting. The owner of this company has apparently gotten himself into a financial jam of some type and has decided that not paying his employees is the way to handle it. There are also violations of health code in the restaurant as recently as this year. I would strongly recommend against doing business with this restaurant. They are ripping off employees and serving you potentially poisonous food.

It was actually awful.I tried some of my friends' chicken schwarama, and that was pretty bad too.If you want good Middle Eastern food, go to Alladins or Zaytoon.Or make it yourself.The service was fine and it was clean from what I saw but the food was pretty terrible.

Raymond Meier: This was horrible got toboli salad and it was old and rotten. Took one bite about threw up and they wouldn't give me a refund or new salad. I don't recommend the Waverly store.

Francis Lewis: The food is really good, and the service is good, but that's where it ends. Expect to pay an extra $1.49 for every tiny thing that makes a meal. 2 adult meals + 1 grilled cheese sandwich cost $58 😱 I pay that much for our little family (including a tip) at an upscale place, which this definitely is not. It is also the most I've spent on Mediterranean food out of anywhere I've been, including Seattle at a very nice place.The signage is not sufficient to say that you'll be 1.50'd for every little thing. The food was good, but for that price, we will not be back.

Alonzo Avents: Great food

Nadeen West: Tabooli on Waverly has the best mediterranean cuisine in Lansing, the staff is extremely kind and generous. The falafel is fried fresh and the beef shawarma is a family favorite. We will be back again and again.

Dan Alt: My wife and I enjoyed the Chicken Shawarma Wrap and the Chicken Kabob Wrap along with a side of fresh Falafel. The food is delicious with large portions. Serving staff is helpful and fun to chat with.Vegetarian options: Wide variety of vegetarian options available.

Shawn Spencer: Great food and people. Love the orange(hot) sauce on everything. I come here pretty often when out working.

Robert Herzing: The food is pretty sub-par, but it's decent. The falafel is really oily and kind of burnt, yet underdone on the inside. The rice is pretty bland, but tender. The service is really good and the employees are very friendly. If you're in the mood for Mediterranean, but don't have a lot of time, this might work.

Christopher B: The food was delicious had a chicken sharwma bowl not disappointed what so ever service was very kind friendly and very positive would eat here again no questions asked
