    This Turkish food is something special. I really like the ambience in the restaurant. Very personal. The food order from counter. We got the lamb shank. I thought the lamb probably has the typical red turkey sauce. I was wrong. It came with braise clear sauce that has prune. The ingredients are fragrant. The braise meat is fork tender. A lot of flavor. We have good experience here. Love the food.

    This charming café is embedded in bunch of apartment buildings and office buildings. The exotic decoration made me feel like I was in Moroccan. We had a lamb shank and prunes tagine. It was so good. The lamb meat was good size, fork tender. The sauce with sesame seeds floating on top was tasty. And the prunes were such a unique touch. The dish went perfectly with basmati rice. We ordered and paid at the counter, they brought the dish to our table. Good services and we enjoyed the food and ambience. This was such an unique experience. I will come back to try other dishes. Too bad it is far from my house and they close at 4 PM.

    Love this hidden gem in downtown Oldsmar! If you were looking for delicious Moroccan food, then I highly recommend the spot. The Kofta Meatball Sandwich is delicious. Huge portion, great quality of the well seasoned meatballs & fantastic baguette as well. Their babaghanoush & hummus are yummy And if you want to treat yourself, definitely get the Pistachio Latte. It is heaven in a cup and a perfect dessert. They have lots of other latte and drink options as well that are very cool. Top all that off with really friendly service and it is #Winning.

    This is a delightful authentic Moroccan restaurant and cafe! Everything from the decor to the food to the service is wonderful! The owners are very nice and were extremely helpful regarding food allergies and preferences. Our meal consisted of a pot of Moroccan mint tea (delicious) A Lamb Shank Tagine (meat fell off the bone, outstanding flavor) A Kazba Dips Trio Appetizer (fresh, Savory and delicious) A Merguez Sandwich (fantastic bread, delicious merguez, tasty cheese, sautéed mushrooms) A spinach and egg pastry (delicate, flavorful, delicious). True moroccan cuisine is tough to find on our area. This place nails it. We will be back!

    Super cute

    I was a little underwhelmed. The music made me want to fall asleep. I didn't understand if you order at the kiosk or with the 2 girls behind the counter. 0 alcohol wine :( Light in bathroom didn't work. Went to the second one and it had urine all over it. The food was really good though. Different styles of seating made it cozy and still functional to eat food that could easily spill. I'll be back but with better expectations

    Lamb sausage on baguette with side salad

    Soo...I had been very curious about trying this place for a long time, and what finally pushed me to do it was losing my beloved EVOS, which was my spot for many many years and I now I needed a new spot. I first saw them when I was at the new Harmony Pet clinic, and knew I had to give them a try. And oh, I'm glad I did, and I will make this my NEW home. They have plenty of ample seating outside, which is pet friendly, and I like how I can bring my sweet Muffin with me in her little pet carriage to order my food. The workers there were very nice and kind and were helpful when I made my order. There was sausage sandwich I wanted to get which wasn't listed on the kiosk, but I was able to make that order up with the lady up front. And the food... WOW. Definitely something different. The sausage had a nice unique spice and flavor to it that's not something totally common. It came with peppers and melted cheese (chef's kiss) and a delicious simple salad green mix with some dressing and goat cheese. The baguette the sandwich was made with was soft on the outside, crispy on the inside, and just...perfect. THIS meal had my name ALL OVER IT. They care a coffee house as well an eatery, and I'll be sure to come back to try their delicious, desserts, pastries and coffee. This is a hidden gem out in Oldsmar, and hopefully thin unique place sticks around. The interior is nice and homey, but the outside is just as great, which will be my spot since I'll be taking Muffin with me. Will be back for more.

    My kofteh sandwich
    Alan W.

    Kazba has to be one of the most unique restaurants in the Tampa area. The decor is totally from Morocco. And the interior design of the restaurant is for sure like no other. I ordered a kofteh meatball sandwich. Kofteh is simply ground beef mixed with warm seasonings & spices. The sandwich was ok, although the meatballs were not reheated all the way through. The interiors were very cold, even though they were pre-cooked. We also had a sampler of three of their dips including baba ganoush, hummus, & a tomato-eggplant mix. They were all good but nothing that really grabbed me. The pluses for Kazba are the cashier was friendly, the atmosphere & decor are unique, & the food was interesting.

    Kazba Cafe is charming and cozy inside and looks like it would be a great spot to sit and enjoy a coffee with friends. We went for lunch and there was no one else there, we were told to sit anywhere so we choose a both. There was some confusion on where to order, they have menus, but you order from the counter. We tried three sandwiches: Merguez, meatball, and chicken & olive. The bread was good, but they were just meh - lacked overall seasoning and flavor. They all came with a side salad, and the dressing was tasty. Overall, it's a cute spot, but the food was just okay. I might go again to sit and drink coffee and try a pastry, but I won't be back for a meal.

    Went here for brunch with friends and I had an amazing experience! The food was amazing and super flavorful-I ordered the merguez skillet and I loved it!! I also had an iced Nutella latte which was a perfect way to end my brunch! Definitely worth going!

    This is such a lovely cafe in Oldsmar. It ranges from a nice sit down and coffee scenario to a formal meal. They had a great spread of sweets with almond marzipan, dates, baklava, and crossaint. We ordered the orange blossom latte and Nutella latte. I loved my Nutella latte. We ordered the hummus trio and boy do you need to have an order!! My fav was the eggplant one (baba ghanoush). They were so kind to bring us extra pita bread as well. We ordered the Korda entree that came with a baguette. It was sooooo good. The tomato sauce with the Korda was a great touch with the kofta being delicate and seasoned to perfection. There's plenty of seating in the cafe to have a study hour or use some of their board games to just have a relaxing time with friends. Will definitely be back.

    We've eaten here twice now and both times the food has been amazing! Everyone is really nice, and it's peaceful and unrushed. Don't come in a hurry, plan to relax and enjoy.

    Outside - new development in Oldsmar. No other businesses next to them yet.

    There's a new Moroccan Cafe and it just opened last week. Our experience here was excellent. First impression was loving how stunning the cafe was. Every single detail was definitely noticed. It is a new location in which there are no other neighboring businesses yet. It's across the street from the Oldsmar Town Center where Chuck Lager American Tavern Restaurant is. Everyone was very helpful and I let them know I hadn't had Moroccan food before so they broke down their menu items for me. They were so nice and showed me pics as well, & gave me great suggestions. Check out their Instagram also for great pics. I was eyeing the chicken tagine which I've never had before. I chose the beef tagine with green beans which comes with crusty and soft bread. In addition we ordered two amazing ice teas. Our favorite was the tropical sunrise tea. We tried samples of the hummus with ground beef, a rose marzipan filled date, and chicken tagine as well. Everything we tried was simply splendid. We shared these and we were quite full. When we come back next time, we want to try other items including the brioche with homemade Nutella, their rose latte, Nutella latte, and mint tea just to name a few. They also have appetizers such as their dips. I love baba ganoosh so I'd love to try theirs. They have sandwiches also and so many hot and cold drinks. This place is awesome, and it's definitely a beautiful and unique experience. Definitely check them out!! You will feel happily transported out of Florida!

    Lunch today was a VERY pleasant surprise. I found Al Forno on Yelp, we were interested in finding…read morea good Shwarma sandwich place in the Sarasota area (we eat them a lot in NYC), but had, we'll say, "moderate" expectations. The storefront is nothing special at all, you order from a big tablet screen and then they have standard fast-casual seating. It doesn't look fancy at all and the restroom situation is weird (you have to go outside through a back alley for the men's restroom?). The workers were nice but I was only hoping for "solid" food. Then I took my first bite of the mixed-shwarma sandwich, and it was sublime. Perfectly cooked and well seasoned tender meat, they press the pita with just the right amount of salad/pickles, so the pita is crunchy and the meat isn't overwhelmed with too much salad like so often happens. Their house fries were spiced deliciously and fried fresh (which makes us want to try the Falafel, which we also saw them frying fresh). The food was *fantastic*, making it one of those diamond-in-the-rough places that you'd never guess had such good food. We're looking forward to going back and trying more on the menu, highly recommend if you're near UTC mall.

The food was solid, your typical Mediterranean cuisine but I will say it's a bit on the pricey side if you're just trying to grab a quick lunch. The tabbouleh parsley was chopped a bit larger than I personally prefer. I usually like it more finely chopped, but it was still fresh and enjoyable. Service was quick and the food came out fast, which I appreciated. There's limited seating inside, so it seems like it's set up more for takeout than dining in. Overall, a good spot. Just keep the pricing and seating in mind depending on what you're looking for.

A gentleman was standing in the kitchen, & he just looked at us with no greeting. We sat down, looked at a menu, & waited 7 minutes before he came out. Finally he appeared & we ordered the small chicken shawarma wraps. The gentleman replied we could not have chicken shawarma wraps today. I laughed & we ordered a beef shawarma wrap, a falafel wrap, & a side of baba ghanoush, & 2 waters. We sat for 23 minutes, lol. I told my wife this is turning into such a bad experience. Finally the man showed up with the wraps. I mentioned we also ordered waters & baba ghanoush. He seemed confused but brought them out. A moment later I sank my teeth into some of the most delicious beef shawarma I've ever had. The shop owner was from Egypt & his beef had been marinated in warm spices like cinnamon. It was unexpectedly excellent. Then I tried the baba ghanoush. Wow!! It was not the usual flavoring that I love. It was totally unique & also excellent. It also had a tiny bit of heat in it from a chile pepper. Finally, the falafel was way above average, tasting so great. Anyway, I was ready to give Zalabia one star, but it always comes down to the food. And the food was 5 stars.
