After casting my advance vote last Friday at city hall, I was looking for a healthy food option in the area, so I decided to check out Zeytourna which is a restaurant that specializes in Mediterranean cuisine.
I ordered the tawook plate ($9.99 for one skewer or $10.49 for two skewers) which consisted of one grilled chicken skewer, two salads, roasted potatoes and a choice of rice (white or lentil rice). The salads were fresh, the roasted potatoes were okay and the rice was properly cooked, moist but not too moist. The chicken skewer was nicely seasoned but a little on the dry side. The reason for this is because they precook their chicken and when a customer orders it, they take the precooked chicken and reheat it on the grill so the food comes out faster but the chicken loses a lot of it's moisture and juiciness.
Overall, the place is spacious, clean and the people are friendly. The prices are reasonable and the portions are fairly large and it's a decent option for Mediterranean cuisine in the downtown core.
