Beit Zaytoon - West Hempstead

This was my first time eating Lebanese food and oh man did it not disappoint! It felt familiar to other types of middle eastern and Mediterranean foods but was surprisingly lighter and healthier feeling. I will be adding this place to the general rotation. Entrees may seem pricey, but you can definitely feed 2 comfortably with a single entree and an app, which overall puts it in line with other local options. If you feel intimidated by a different looking menu, good initial items to try are the Grilled Kafta (minced lamb kebabs) and Dajaj bil hamod (lemon chicken). I can also vouch for the smokey sweetness of the Mouhamara! Our order came with thin pita, rice, and some smaller containers of this minced garlic paste, tahini, and a delicious green pepper spread. Don't sleep on this place!

Awesome Kibbeh Naye! In fact, I've had several items on the menu, and they are ALL spectacular, and authentic!

Delicious food, loved the hummus, fattoush and the mixed grill. We had a nice chat with the owner about the menu and his restaurant. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20
