Food was tasty and large servings however service without a smile seems to be the thing. Wait staff did not let us know needed to prepay and order at counter , in fact wait staff did not say much at all , appeared unfriendly and dismissive

Fishermans casserole was exceptional!!! Will be going back there again- very reasonable pricing for the amount of food you get! Rose was fruityand refreshing! Only downside was that you have to pay before you eat??

Great service and food.
I took my wife for birthday lunch. When they heard we wanted something of the dinner menu, they immediately offered the dinner menu also – and the fish kakvia was great.
The staff are exceptional with their courtesy and prompt service.

Thank you.

Zeytins is a great restaurant. As a local Ive seen many come and go but the attentive staff, the wonderful host and the unbelievable prices make Zeytins a true treasure of our town. Disregard the whining of the out of towners, try it, FYI, if you weren’t here in the 70′s at least, you will never be a local so your opinion doesnt count.

First time i went to Zeytins was for my girlfriends birthday,was very impressed with the food! I organised a cake & dropped it off earlier in the day & that was all ok with them
Went again couple of weeks ago & once again the food was great & nothing to complain about re the service!

A group booking was made two weeks prior and accepted. On the evening the service at Zeytins Tauranga was totally unacceptable with the Managers reason being some people had not ordered full meals and therefore he did not want them in the restaurant. The attitude of the Manager towards the group was totally unprofessional and unacceptable. Group ended up leaving in disgust. We will not be visiting Zeytins Tauranga again. Other people we have spoken with have received similar levels of poor service.

Cheap and cheerful and one of the best bargain options in the Tauranga area. Massive meals with simple, pleasant flavours and vegan/vegetarian options all for small change.

Highly recommended (as the everpresent crowds in this restaurant, and its Mount counterpart, will attest). Have been half a dozen times and always look forward to a meal here.

We went there to enjoy a beautiful day out of the office for lunch, unfortunately highly disappointed!!! We have gone to Zeytins in the mount and the food is always guaranteed to be delicious and fresh. We were in Tauranga thought we could do no wrong going to Zeytins. We both ordered chicken kebab & salad the chicken was so overcooked and dry. Lettuce was also old and brown had no sauce on the kebab as requested. Worst lunch ever, would never go back!

We always seem to enjoy our meals out at Zeytin Tauranga- consistently great food served quickly and efficiently. Wonderful meal choices in winter or summer, It may not be Michelin star worthy, but we keep coming back for a reason!

Had dinner there last night, and can highly recommend this restaurant to others. Our meals were served within 10 minutes of ordering, were absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly, helpful and unobtrusive.
The Spiced Lamb was to die for! My guests enjoyed their selections too, the Meatlovers Pizza and the Mixed Kebab. Huge meals too, very definitely value for money.
All in all a great night. Will be back, for sure.

when the mains came out they were not what we asked for. the waiter did not care and walked away. it only was solved when i had to speak to the manager. Bad service. Will not be back

A really good ‘safe bet’
You know you can get a well cooked, really good meal at a good price.
Love it and keep coming back for more.

We ate at Zeytin’s on Fri 18 Sept 2009. The meal was delicious and great value for money. The restaurant was very busy but the service was still very good. We would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Often have lunch here, great for celiacs & gluten free persons.

Calamari salad was a delight to discover.

Very reasonably priced.

Excellent relaxed venue, really friendly helpful staff, courteous and thoughtful, great food, and plenty of it, excellent deserts also. Mentioned it on my radio Show at SolidGoldFM.

Pizzas to die for. Turkish delight and short blacks ..mmmmm!

Really tasty food – lots of flavour – and massive platesful, so good value for money too.
