Zeitoun

Locals in Esher have quietly made Zeitoun their go-to for grilled meats that actually taste of something. This isn’t the kind of grill house that relies on sauce to do the heavy lifting. The charcoal does the talking here, sending up smoke that promises proper flame-kissed chicken, lamb, and kofta. It’s straightforward, honest cooking—the sort that makes you wonder why more places don’t get the basics this right.

Their mixed grill is the obvious starting point: juicy chicken thighs, properly seasoned lamb chops, and kofta that snaps when you bite into it. But the wraps are where Zeitoun really flexes—soft, warm bread wrapped around that same charred meat with fresh salad and a slick of garlic sauce. They also do rice plates that soak up all the smoky juices. Order for delivery and you’ll get the same quality that keeps people walking past the chains. Zeitoun serves the whole Esher area, so you’re never far from a proper feed.
