Hungry for romance and a taste of the Mediterranean? Go to Zaytoon for Lebanese food in a lush, tropical setting. Two blocks off of bustling State Street, Zaytoon's patio is a romantic oasis hidden from view. Enjoy falafel, shawarma, kebab and many other Lebanese favorites in the open air, surrounded by the happy sounds of fountains and lit by twinkling lights. Long tables also make this the perfect destination for a dinner party. Flavored hookah water pipes are available on the patio as well. And if you'd prefer to stay in and cuddle at home? Zaytoon has a unique online takeout service that offers quick ordering via its website.
