This is not your average tzatziki!

Loaded with lobster tail, knuckle, and claw meat, it brings together the creamy tang of Greek yogurt with the sweet crunch of green apple. A drizzle of olive oil, fresh dill, and mint keep every bit bright, fresh, and full of flavor.

Pass it around the table, grab another spoonful, and don't be surprised if you're already planning your next order.

Share a bite with us tonight inside .

Good on the plate, good for our community.

This September, we’re joining for Dine with a Purpose, supporting and their work fighting hunger across Southern Nevada. Throughout the month, $1 from every Garides Me Anitho sold will be donated to Three Square Food Bank.

Shrimp, dill, citrus, butter and shallots – one more reason to order another round of mezze for the table.

Come dine with a purpose. 🍴

If you can still see the table, order another mezze!

A bottle to share, a few more plates on the way, and nowhere you need to be next – that’s the beauty of a long weekend.

Meet us around the table. ✨

A moment for the Brussels 📸

A fan favorite at Zaytinya, our Crispy Brussels Afelia are a must for any table. Flash fried Brussels sprouts meet tart barberries and a zesty coriander sauce over a bed of creamy garlic yogurt to create a dish that balances a crunchy texture with vibrant, tangy flavors in every bite.

It all starts with the pita.

Every basket of our house-made pita is baked fresh throughout the day, arriving warm at your table and ready to scoop, dip, and share.

It's a small detail that reflects everything we love about Mediterranean hospitality: fresh ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and meals meant to be enjoyed together.

We wouldn't have it any other way. 💙

Turns out, a case of the Mondays is curable. The prescription? Harissa honey wings under mint and dill, a Pom Fili with an orange twist, and our Za'atar Margarita topped with za'atar air. We'll let you decide which to order first.

Join us for Mezze Óra tonight inside from 5pm-6pm, then again from 8pm-9pm.

Bring someone to clink glasses with. 🥂

Save a piece of our house-made pita for this one!

Shish taouk brings tender grilled chicken, sumac onions, grilled tomatoes and garlicky toum to the table – and trust us, you'll want to scoop up every last bit.

It's one of the favorites served in our Summer Experience dinner menu, a guided selection chosen by the kitchen, so all you have to do is come hungry. Experience it tonight inside The Forum Shops at Caesars. Make a reservation here: https://bit.ly/3UvOMbn

Some dishes are made to be the center of the table.

Our Whole Fish is grilled whole and partially deboned, accompanied by sun-dried tomato tapenade, grilled lemon, and yellow squash skordalia. Pair it with our Crispy Brussels Afelia and Tzatziki then let the table do what it does best: bring people together.

Reserve your table at the link in bio.

So many mezze, so little time.

One plate becomes two, two becomes five, and suddenly the whole table is covered. Start with Hünkâr Beğendi at the center – braised lamb shank over silky eggplant purée – and then keep exploring.

Bring your favorite people, order a little of everything, and let the table take it from there.

Dinner tonight? We’ll save you a seat.
