Zaytoon on Aurelius Road in Holt is our new favorite restaurant
Our first real taste of Mediterranean cooking was a couple of years ago when we had a family reunion on the Island of Viz in the Adriatic Sea, not too far from Greece and Italy. Our son-in-law Adam Jones treated us to a big dinner created in a big pot called a sac. It was incredibly delicious and pretty memorable.
When we moved to Holt, a bedroom community south of Lansing, we found a restaurant about a mile south of us, Zaytoon which promoted itself as offering Mediterranean food. We tried it.
We went in with minimal knowledge, but quickly learned the basics like what shawarma is. Everything seems to be served with hummus.
During meal times, it seems to be crowded, including takeout customers.
This is the lunch special that I usually get.
