Beit Zaytoon - Restaurant in West Hempstead - 468 Hempstead Turnpike, USA

A Lebanese restaurant that is BYOB. Food is decent and service on the slower side. Atmosphere is cantina style. There is a little something for all dietary restrictions and offer three courses. Deserts are not too sweet and flavors mild. Qahwah is good. Overall a good family restaurant serving halal meats and have BYOB.

This place is amazing! Best Lebanese food and the only place you can get raw kibbe on Long Island. We ordered about half of the menu and every single dish was just delicious. The owner’s a really nice guy too!

Excellent, authentic Lebanese food. Staff/owner were super friendly and it’s BYOB! All of the starters were great and by far, the best lamb chops I’ve had in my life.

Coming from a family of Lebanese chefs and previous Lebanese restaurant owners, I will say that it’s nearly impossible to find legit, real, amazing fresh quality Lebanese food! Many places try to go cheap and buy premade things like falafel and grape leaves - many restaurants do, you would be surprised! Beit Zaytoon is the closest you’re going to get to real Lebanese food in a restaurant! The owner is super friendly and inviting! My half bite of the falafel is for a reason and if you know falafel, you know this pictures speaks for itself, even though possibly not appetizing for those who don’t get it! It’s a great meal and you won’t be disappointed! Ps ;) ask for toum (garlic paste)

We were excited to find out about a Lebanese restaurant in Long Island. Today we went for the first time to Beit Zaytoon in Hempstead. It was outstanding. All fresh ingredients! Everything was delicious. We want to go again soon with friends. We had nice chat with the owner, Elias. It’s been open for 5 months now. The best part is that he was the owner of the very famous Al Boustan, Lebanese restaurant in Manhattan!

If you ever wondered what Lebanese food is, I'll describe it for you. . . Delicious. That's what it is. We started with Warak Inab (stuffed grape leaves), and the baba ghannouj. The grape leaves were distinctively different from the Greek ones I'm used to, more citrus and better flavor. The baba ghannouj had a great smoky flavor and was perfect on the fresh pita type bread. For a main, we had the sawdat dajaj and the kafta yoghurtlieh. I was surprised how good the sawdat dajaj was. Super flavorful and great texture. The pomegranate flavor really brought out the sweetness. The kafta was even better. The grilled veggies and rice really paired well with the lamb and rich white sauce. Overall, very satisfied with the food. Would definitely recommend coming here as this has its own unique taste compared to other Middle Eastern / Mediterranean cuisine.

Beit zaytoon - excellent food - we enjoyed it! We ordered appetizers sujuk - beef sausages, humus and kibeh which were so good as well! Clean place and spacious - could definitely host a party there too! Highly recommend!

My family and I have tried Middle Eastern cuisine everywhere we’ve gone in the US, and Beit Zaytoon is one of the best! They have delicious traditional meat pies, spinach pies, hummus, chicken schawerma, and fattoush and tabouleh salads. Everything was tasty and presented well. The service was also sooo kind and gave us some mint tea and baklava as we waited for our order. I attached some photos below of our food
