“Date Night” Ordering Guide: Shareable Portions That Feel Special

There’s nothing better than spending time with your special someone, and dinner out is a great way to bond. Zytoun’s is located on the waterfront, and is blessed with a spectacular view to go along with the great food. A perfect date might start with a walk along the boardwalk, enjoying the view of the ocean and the call of seabirds, and end at Zytoun’s restaurant.

If you’re looking forward to a delicious dinner for two at Zytoun’s, we’ve got our recommendations for a delicious feast for two.

Starter Recommendations

Appetizers are a great way to start off a meal, giving you time to chat and stave off hunger while you wait for your main course to arrive. A great option for this is to start off with some hummus and Baba Ghanouj.

These starters are healthy, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. Sharing foods can be a great way to try new foods and get more out of the experience than just one plate. It also gives you a great talking point for what foods you prefer. Shareable foods can be a great way to bring out those moments and bond.

Another great shareable food if you need something a bit more robust than hummus is to order Fattoush. Fattoush is an impressive salad, and split between two people can provide plenty to eat while you wait for more.

Main Course Recommendations

There are many amazing dishes available at Zytoun’s. As with any food, it really matters what you and your special someone enjoy the most. A vegetarian won’t enjoy a meat dish, and if you dislike fish or certain kinds of meat, you won’t enjoy those either.

If you want to try a variety and hope to share with your significant other, a great one that’s easy to swap pieces of is Borak, and Shawarma.

Borak are delicious, meat filled pockets. Shawarma isn’t quite as easy to share since it isn’t pre-wrapped in a pocket, but it’s easy enough to scoop a sample into a pita if you want to let your other half try a portion of your meal.

If you aren’t feeling quite so adventurous, Zytoun has a number of pizzas that are also easy to share. If you’re feeling daring, about how Prince Ali’s Spicy Chicken Pizza? Or if you simply want to kick back and relax, a chicken shawarma pizza fresh and ready for nibbling.

Dessert Options

Zytoun is particularly proud of its desserts. Don’t leave without sharing some baklava and icecream! Zytoun has a number of great desserts, but the baklava is definitely worth trying at the end of your meal. Pistachio baklava with Turkish ice cream is the perfect way to end the day.

Dinner dates are incredibly special, and good food can make that time even better. If you’re planning a night out with your significant other, stop by Zytoun’s. You’ll not only get great food and caring attention from staff, but also a next level view of the water while you eat.
