Reviews Summary

Zaatar offers a lively ambiance and a diverse menu of Middle Eastern, North Indian, Chinese, and Continental dishes. While many praise the flavorful main courses, unique drinks, and generous platters, some reviewers have noted issues with inconsistent food quality, salty dishes, and the presence of houseflies.

"I visited Zaatar last month with my family, and overall, we had a good dining experience. We started with the Tabal Kebab, which unfortunately was too salty for our liking, and didn’t quite meet our expectations. For the main courses, we ordered the Laham Zerpian Beef and Mandi Alfahm. The Mandi Alfahm was delicious, featuring flavorful rice and perfectly cooked chicken that was tender with just the right amount of spices. The Laham Zerpian Beef was equally enjoyable, with a unique, flavorful rice and soft, meaty beef. The beef, in particular, was fantastic, though the portion size was a bit smaller than expected. For drinks, we had Mint Lime, Pineapple Lime, Mint Lime Soda, and Special Lime. All the drinks were refreshing and enjoyable, but the Special Lime stood out as my favorite. It had a unique mix of pomegranate and grapes, which added a delightful and refreshing touch to the meal. The Mint Lime Soda was also particularly enjoyable, with a great fizz that made it soothing and light.

There was a slight issue with the billing as the staff had forgotten to charge us for the Tabal Kebab. When I brought this up to the staff, along with my concern about the saltiness, they kindly waived the charge and offered the Tabal Kebab as a complimentary item, which I appreciated.

Overall, our experience at Zaatar was good. The food, especially the main courses and drinks, were enjoyable. The only downside was the Tabal Kebab, but the staff's response was admirable."

"Visited Zaatar recently. The food was overall decent. The Waves of Zaatar platter was the standout, and the watermelon juice served alongside was refreshing and well-made. The Infused Chicken had flavour, but it didn’t sink in well enough, leaving the inside a bit bland.

The kids had noodles, which were surprisingly excellent — well-prepared and enjoyed thoroughly.
Unfortunately, we didn’t have space left to try the kunafa.

Service was quick, and the ambience was lively.
Parking is limited, with just a few slots in front. While there's an able security guard managing traffic, he could clearly use more manpower, especially during peak times.

A major downside was the presence of too many houseflies, which affected the hygiene and dining experience.

Would have rated it 4 stars, but dropping to 3 due to the cleanliness issue."
