Exceptional value! the deal that everyone goes for is the lamb doner meal. One receives a lamb doner kebab a ''Full'' bowl of chips and a can of coke. The guys who work there are friendly and this goes along way to providing an atmosphere where its ok to eat the kebab with your hands without getting any weird looks.
The cabbage dyes the sauce a nice purple colour. I don't know where they get the succulent tomatoes that go into the kebab but they are juicy and central to this dining experience. The texture of those mouth watering shavings of Lamb is to die for. The trick to eating the kebab is to eat it in your hands and then let the sauce drip down on to the plate. Then you throw your bowl of chips onto the plate with the sauce and enjoy the mix of chips with kebab sauce and to cap it all off a swig of ''ice cold'' coke to wash it all down.
Although this is one of my regular spots i'd have to say the toilets could be a wee bit cleaner. The chips are a bit on the underdone side.
In my opinion the only place that can hold a candle too Zaytoon in the domain of Kebabs is Iskanders just up the road on Dame street. To that end Zaytoon is my top spot in Dublin for Kebabs.

I'm a regular visitor on my many nights out. Like all other comments, this is by far the nicest tastiest kebabs around Dublin, possibly even Ireland! They are much healthier than other kebabs too. Writing this comment now is actually making me quite hungry for their Chicken Shish Kebab now:)

This Dublin institution doesn't need anymore positive reviews, and its always too crowded, but I'm moved to comment anyway by my love for their chicken donner. This is the only kebab place in town that is just as delicious sober as otherwise. The staff have always been nice to me, and happy to give extra garlic sauce. It is more expensive than other kebab places, but entirely worth it - the ingredients always taste nice and fresh. Love it!

Alwasy excellent. The fresh veg makes the kebab.
I could eat their red cabbage all day.
For a carnivore I love the veggie kebab too. falafel would be a nice addition though.
Only downside is that they dont really get a chance to take on board any serving requests like "feckloads more red cabbage and a pickled chili le do thoil" but I cant complain!
If only beer was available!

We went tonight for the first time sober, it still tastes as good as after a few beverages. The woman likes the chicken shish but I'm a barg man myself. Always ask them to throw on a bit of extra red cabbage and green chilis and your sorted! The lunchtime deal is very good but we're never up that early. If shes lucky she'll get back to Zaytoon for the oul anniversary ;)

I wanted to try here for ages and finally got to go on Wednesday night. The kebabs are quite nice and huge. The meat isnt great but the sauces and the veg filling (especially the cabbage) are really nice. Reasonable price for a massive amount of food.

Hadn’t tried Persian cuisine before so this was a first. Had a delicious vegetable kebab – lots of lovely freshly roasted vegetables on a bed of mixed leaves with a tasty dressing. The portion was generous and very filling, just the thing to keep you going on an active sightseeing day. It wasn’t that busy as we were quite early for lunch, but customers began to trickle in as we left. It seems to appeal to all ages, and the value is good, particularly the lunchtime offers.
