Zaitoon is a Palestinian family owned restaurant, rooted in Gaza and inspired by the flavours of the Eastern Mediterranean. Our menu celebrates traditional Palestinian dishes, charcoal-grilled favourites and generous plates made for sharing.

Thoughtfully prepared and served with the generosity of Palestinian hospitality, Zaitoon is a place to gather, share and feel at home around the table.
