Featured on Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives in 2017, Zaytoon Mediterranean Grill of Holt holds its own against the endless Mediterranean restaurants in metro Detroit. This Lansing area gem serves big flavors with welcoming service, creating a rabid following.

Do not even think about visiting Zaytoon without an empty stomach. The Falafel Combo serving was nothing short of generous. A healthy portion — literally — of tabbouli and creamy hummus joined the falafel party. As if you needed more, a house salad (not pictured) was also included. And with a price around $10, you really can’t beat this option for a healthy and satisfying lunch that won’t bust your budget.

Zaytoon Mediterranean Grill has locations in Holt and Lansing.
