NOW OPEN: Al Zaytouna
Though it was shooting to debut last weekend, Al Zaytouna (901 Christian St.) officially opened for business this morning. An Eastern Mediterranean restaurant in the former Mew Gallery space, Al Zaytouna ("the olive") is the handiwork of longtime Philly restaurant vet Koubeil Benayed, a native of Tunisia. His menu (in full after the jump, click to enlarge) comprises staples like falafel, shawarma kofta, hummus and baba ghannouj. Specialties of the house are good for meat lovers (chicken/lamb/kofta kebabs; charcoal-grilled lamb chops), and there are some seafood options in play too (catch of the day, or the Al Zaytouna combo, which features grilled salmon along with several kebabs). Benayed is open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week, and says he hopes to introduce brunch service in the coming months.
