Zatar Cafe & Bistro

Actually outstanding. The dips are world-class. Best mahumarrah and hummus I’ve had in nyc. The tomato-egg brunch thing was phenomenal. The pita is fluffy and delicious and perfect. Our server was SO kind and awesome. The coffee is good. The yemini tea was delish. The prices are great. Brunch starts at ~$13 which is so fair. Desserts look great. My only complaint is that it’s a bit cold inside when it’s cold outside. The cold seeps in.

This was my first time coming here and wow — the food was absolutely delicious. Every single dish we tried was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. I came with my friend, who is a true professional degustatore with a very refined palate, and even he was genuinely impressed. He enjoyed every bite of the dishes they served us. When Saba says something is delicious, his whole family and friends trust his judgment — and they always try whatever he recommends. That alone says everything. We’ll definitely be back!

Always a great option for warm and comforting eats! Looking at the menu, you really can’t go wrong with anything—the flatbread pizza is a MUST, the bowls are so deliciously filling, and the appetizers will fill you up because you won’t stop until you finish. Great staff and vibe—a very relaxed and inviting vibe for friends, family, or couples. You’ll definitely get seating during the day, but it’s very popular in the evening. It’s the kind of place where you eat at once and you’ll be coming back time and again! Neighborhood gem!

We came with a party of four for brunch on a beautiful fall Saturday and though it was busy they were able to seat us outside right away. We had the Yemeni Soufflé which was quite good, the Eggs Benzatar which was very good, the Eggs Baladi which was good and spicy, and the chicken kebab which was very good. The pita is also very good. We tried three desserts which were all respectable, not very sweet. Very reasonable prices!

Amazing food and great service. I loved the flavors and quality of the food. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. I got the salmon kabob and the Mediterranean salad. It comes with the rice and salad on the side. I also got the mint lemonade and a few drinks and desserts from the little cafe section. Everything was great but I’ll be coming back for the dinner more than the desserts. They have indoor and outdoor seating with lots of room and a cute windowsill seating. The staff were attentive and friendly and quick to serve. I really enjoyed it!
