If you can still see the table, order another mezze!

A bottle to share, a few more plates on the way, and nowhere you need to be next – that’s the beauty of a long weekend.

Meet us around the table. ✨

A moment for the Brussels 📸

A fan favorite at Zaytinya, our Crispy Brussels Afelia are a must for any table. Flash fried Brussels sprouts meet tart barberries and a zesty coriander sauce over a bed of creamy garlic yogurt to create a dish that balances a crunchy texture with vibrant, tangy flavors in every bite.

It all starts with the pita.

Every basket of our house-made pita is baked fresh throughout the day, arriving warm at your table and ready to scoop, dip, and share.

It's a small detail that reflects everything we love about Mediterranean hospitality: fresh ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and meals meant to be enjoyed together.

We wouldn't have it any other way. 💙

Turns out, a case of the Mondays is curable. The prescription? Harissa honey wings under mint and dill, a Pom Fili with an orange twist, and our Za'atar Margarita topped with za'atar air. We'll let you decide which to order first.

Join us for Mezze Óra tonight inside from 5pm-6pm, then again from 8pm-9pm.

Bring someone to clink glasses with. 🥂

Save a piece of our house-made pita for this one!

Shish taouk brings tender grilled chicken, sumac onions, grilled tomatoes and garlicky toum to the table – and trust us, you'll want to scoop up every last bit.

It's one of the favorites served in our Summer Experience dinner menu, a guided selection chosen by the kitchen, so all you have to do is come hungry. Experience it tonight inside The Forum Shops at Caesars. Make a reservation here: https://bit.ly/3UvOMbn

Some dishes are made to be the center of the table.

Our Whole Fish is grilled whole and partially deboned, accompanied by sun-dried tomato tapenade, grilled lemon, and yellow squash skordalia. Pair it with our Crispy Brussels Afelia and Tzatziki then let the table do what it does best: bring people together.

Reserve your table at the link in bio.

So many mezze, so little time.

One plate becomes two, two becomes five, and suddenly the whole table is covered. Start with Hünkâr Beğendi at the center – braised lamb shank over silky eggplant purée – and then keep exploring.

Bring your favorite people, order a little of everything, and let the table take it from there.

Dinner tonight? We’ll save you a seat.

Have you ever seen a green chickpea? Most people haven't.

Picked young before they dry, they’re sweeter, softer, and the perfect little pop of freshness alongside our new seared salmon and caper-dill saltsa.

Add crispy skin and toasted pine nuts, and suddenly you have a very good reason to order the salmon.

"If you're feeling too hot to cook, you can always come to Zaytinya." -

Inspired by the abundance of late summer, fattoush began with farmers in Lebanon frying yesterday's bread in olive oil and tossing it with whatever the fields had given them. Ours keeps the idea with lots of crisp vegetables, torn herbs, pita, and a pomegranate vinaigrette that pulls it together.

Lunch deserves more than another desk salad.

Trade your usual routine for a midday escape to The Gulch. Our $35 Mezze Lunch lets you build your own three-course meal—choose a signature dip such as Hommus or Tzatziki to start, a seasonal vegetable or salad, and finish with your choice of protein like our Kofte Kebab or Garides me Anitho, our iconic shrimp with dill.

Available weekdays at Zaytinya Nashville.

At Zaytinya, we love to celebrate the season by letting peak ingredients shine. Nothing says summer quite like watermelon. ☀️🍉

Sweet, juicy watermelon meets crisp peppery watercress, briny Kalamata olives, and creamy feta in our Karpuzi Me Feta. A refreshing salad that captures the flavors of the Eastern Mediterranean in every bite.

Made for long lunches, leisurely mezze, and easy dinners shared with friends, it's the kind of dish that instantly transports you to the Mediterranean. ✨
