In the words of LMFAO, all I can say is \"you're my new obsession\". My sister and I stumbled upon Zaytoon during our summer trip to Vegas. We had been driving around aimlessly looking for something to eat and then BAM, came across this place. Actually, I don't remember how we found it. I just remember we wanted to get our grub on. We went in and perused the market area. I was hoping to find some cool knick-knacks or other rarities since I hardly ever go to Middle Eastern markets. I didn't find anything that I really wanted to get but my sister got a few food items. They carry some flip flops and some evil eye looking jewelry but I'm pretty particular about what brand of flip flops I wear and definitely am not into evil eye jewelry. \n\nI decided to go to the restaurant next door, which isn't really next door since it's only partitioned by a screen or something. I ordered two beef sandwiches a.k.a. Koobideh Kabobs wrapped in lavash bread, which cost $7.99 each. You have the option of choosing a Shirazi Salad or french fries so I got the salad for myself and the fries for my stepdad. My sister decided not to get something from here but went to Long John Silvers instead and she regrets that choice to this day. Hahahah. \n\nAnyway, the food was sooo good that when I came back to Vegas last week I found myself craving it and wanting it. We finally came to Zaytoon on our last day here to have a proper lunch before setting out for L.A. It was just as good as I remembered and the Masto Khiar (cucumber and yogurt) was so creamy and thick. A lot of the other ones I've had before were just plain runny and blah. I ordered the same thing again since I wanted to take half my sandwich for the road and it's a lot easier to eat a sandwich in the car than a box of basmati rice! It's a shame I didn't get a dessert but I got a yummy mint flavored yogurt soda. I couldn't really taste the mint and the uncarbonated version definitely tastes much more minty, but it's all good. My sisters also really enjoyed what they ordered. One of them ordered the same thing I got but with avocado slices and the other one got the Chicken Kabob plate. \n\nThe service was also great. There was just one person working at the time we got here. He was youngish and very attentive. He was also very cordial and polite. He showed me how to mix the yogurt soda and how to open it since there's a trick to opening it. If you don't open it properly, which equates to opening it very slowly then you may end up with it all over your shirt.\n\nZaytoon is one place that I look forward to going back to the next time I'm in Vegas. Perhaps, I'll go back multiple times if time and my funds permit just to try other stuff. It's affordable, convenient, and the food is just plain good. Now if only I could find a place reminiscent of it back home.
