Zeytin Cafe

Oh my goodness. Such amazing flavoursome food. I had the beef checks and it was glorious. Lovely staff too. Yah. Gracias.

Service was very slow, beer was flat & warm, chicken dish we ordered was not heated properly. Don't bother! There were two other tables that walked off while we were here as they couldn't be bothered waiting. Very disappointing

Worst Turkish I have ever tasted I have never done a review on here before I’m so angry I just had to $25 for a takeaway boiled chicken Iskender with bagged salad as greens with chunks of carrot what an embarrassment to the Turkish food community

Went there for dinner with my friend last night. We had dips with bread for starters, the dips were nice but the bread very dry. Both our mains were good. The thing that "ruined" the experience was the very bad service. We didn't get any menus until asking, then after ordering we got our starter at some point, but no plates or cutlery, our drinks came when we had almost finished the starters. After finishing the starter we waited for about 20 to 30 minutes until we got our food so we were almost not hungry anymore. The waitress didn't take the board that the starter came on away until we left and we also still didn't get any cutlery for our food and had to go to the bar to get it ourselves.
The group of people sitting at the table next to ours left without getting their food because they had been waiting for their order for over 45 minutes.
The food was mostly good and I enjoyed the Calzone that I had as my main but definitely would not come back due to the unprofessional service.

Wonderful meal here tonight. Fantastic steak cooked to perfection. Support this small business. You won't be disappointed.

I ate lunch here on Thursday 28 January and had the mezze falafel. It was excellent and beautifully presented. Today I went back for lunch with three others and recommended the mezze falafel. It was less than avarage. Beware of the consistency of this place. Meal quality varies hugely depending who is on in the kitchen.

I first came here in 2007 and it was a 5 star place. Now.had dips for starters that were very tasty and a chicken kebab for mains, which was quite underwhelming.

Hope the rude waitress could be educated that being a racist is not funny and couldn’t make this restaurant popular at all

We decided to eat here because the Pizza Menu looked very interesting and really enjoyed our experience. Between us we had the Baked Brie and the Carbonara Pizza and were completely full and satisfied afterwards.
Brie was beautiful and creamy and went very well with the Ciabatta and Cranberries it is served with. Pizza had generous toppings, nice and cheesy and the chicken wasn’t dry which can be a bit tricky on Pizza. Star of the night was definitely the Brie!
Had a lovely waitress that was very attentive. Atmosphere and background music was very good and not too busy at all.

(Glad we didn’t read the reviews before coming in so we could have a completely unbiased experience. Seems to be a fair bit of inconsistency with food quality and service, which is a shame because we had a great time!)

Eggs with hollandaise sauce was very disappointing there was only about a Tb spoon of sauce if that an egg was cooked solid. Wont be going back thats for sure.

Can't get any worse. Waited for more than an hour for the food even though we had a reservation. Food was dry and bland.meat was microwaved and not fresh for sure. Pizza Dough is frozen and not freshly made. Don't waste your time and money.

Some of the staff need to learn how to talk to people without their attitudes, very rude and racist. The food was very dry and very salty. Recommend for people who wants someone to ruin the day.

Never, never going to this place again! The customer service is non -existent.
The water was was undrinkable (like rinse aid), with unknown food on the bottom of the bottle? And lipstick on the glass. The food, that is not pizza, is heated in the microwave until is is like rubber. When we complained about the food the waitress walked away and never came back.staff just dismissed our friends' complaints about an inedible meal. She walked away hungry and this really put a downer on the night for us all.

Beautiful fresh food, large spacious area -although the seats were very uncomfortable. Would visit again.

Not good, not at all expected from menu! Staff friendly and helpful.
Enormous plate of tasteless food, nothing as should be expected from a typical Mediterranean cafe. They could do so much better, a waste of money!

3 stars and that's only because the food was good other than that I will not be coming back. We waited for about an hour for our food and had to track the waiter down everytime we needed something! Empty plates sat on the table until our mains arrived. Needles to say the service was terrible we were going to stay for dessert but decided not to as we didn't know how long that would take!

Horrible. Ordered two takeaway Iskenda and a spanakopita. Getting it home (5min walk) we were shocked to find boiled meat on over cooked fluffy rice and floppy salad. Boiled! At a Mediterranean restaurant! At $18 each the quality was poor. Not at all what we expected. Where’s the beautifully marinated rotisserie chicken? Two redeeming features 1) they didn’t hesitate to refund us 2) the spanakopita was nice. We used to love Zeytins but haven’t been for a number of years. I wouldn’t recommend.

The food was 5/5 so delicious and full of flavour. The waitressing staff were all very bright and lovely. However, the chef was incredibly rude when we showed up a mere 5 minutes late to pick up our takeaway order. She was shouting from the kitchen into the restaurant about us, then blaming the waitressing staff for an "incorrect order" that was not incorrect. When we tried to settle the situation and say we were happy with our order, she turned on us and stated that she was the chef implying she was the one to make that decision. It was very unprofessional and such a shame as it was quite a significant event which affected our experience and hindered the 5 stars.

Service was absolutely shocking. 4 tables without food for 45mins to an hr. One table has their order messed up. I had to order at the counter before being waited on. Food was ok but it’s not worth putting up with bad service.

While atmosphere was attractive and meals delicious there were sufficient unpleasantness to not want to return. The staff for the most part have no grace in dealing with customers. My friend ordered a homegrown juice - a brand we buy from the supermarket so we know how it should be. It arrived heavily diluted in sparking water! We tried to clarify that we were expecting pure juice but the waiter just argued that that’s what it was! Finally we asked him to bring the bottle it came from and showed him what the bottle contained, pure juice so he had to replace it at that point. It still returned diluted although less so. We enjoyed our meals and they were huge. We were the last to be there. There was a sweet Indian female waitress who was excellent. The lights above us abruptly went out signalling a desire for us to leave.no one came to give us a polite 10 min warning - we were another few mins when the waiter came to tell us and another woman called about across the restaurant ‘When are you going to pay! We want to go home’. Inexcusably rude. Would not recommend.
