Zaytoon - Chorlton

Walk into Zaytoon and you're immediately hit with the smell of charcoal, herbs, and things being cooked properly. It's the kind of place where families pile in on Friday nights and groups of mates crack open beers mid-week—everyone's welcome, no pretence. The menu reads like someone's actually been to Lebanon and remembered what their nan made, not what a focus group reckoned would shift units. You'll find yourself ordering more mezze than you planned, watching dishes arrive in quick succession, each one making you wonder why you don't eat here every week.
