What people say, in short
Many people recommend Zaytoni, including its Oxford Road branch near the universities. One commenter says the shawarma and rice bowls are budget-friendly, and another calls the chicken shawarma with rice or chips good value. One diner calls the newer Oldham Street branch great but prefers the Oxford Road one. It can get busy with night-out crowds, so one commenter suggests avoiding late evenings.
