This place is amazing! Open floor plan, well lit, and relaxing. I had a wrap with spectacular seasonings. Everyone was incredibly friendly and it showed that they loved what they do. A new Go-To for me
The food was delicious! My first time having an espresso martin so Yum! I had the Chocolate French Toast my husband had Eggs And Stuff the pita was home made and so perfect! The inside is super welcoming and comfortable! The service was very good and you can tell that it's a family run business! We will be back to try something different on the menu because I'm sure everything is good!
Oh my gosh, this place is amazing! Inside of the restaurant is really cool, I love how it looks and how it's decorated. Looks like it would be a great place to take a date too. Today I came by myself for lunch just to try it out, and I am so happy I did. The food was amazing and the service was too. They have a pretty big menu to choose from and everything on the menu sounded so good. So I went with 2 choices (knowing I will be eating leftovers for dinner). I got the Lebanese spirit (it was kinda like a Lebanese pizza) and it was delicious! I also got the steak and hummus which also tasted amazing and it came with a basket of fresh pita bread. My rating on Zaatar Bistro, service and food I ordered today, 10 out of 10.
I told my daughter about this place and she invited me. So she wanted to try the favas Beans and the hummus with the mushrooms. So we ordered and they came right after. The food was delicious. She love it. The beans are very filling and with the refreshing raw veggies perfect combo. I really love that. Also the hummus with the pitta oh my. So good. They made the pita breads right in the moment and they come very fluffy and hot. Really wonderful. This time I missed ordering the coffee latte. But it was after 3. I need to go back and get me one of their good delicious lattes. They have different flavors. Also next time I might get some of their sweet pastries. They have a bakery there so they are fresh. The ambiance is very familiar and friendly. I am ready to comeback.
I tried the American Spirit today--a classic plate of waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon, and fries, done in true American style. It was my first time ordering a breakfast dish here. Overall, the meal struck a decent balance between comfort and a sense of freshness and quality. That said, I personally prefer my bacon and waffles a bit crispier, and the fries were fairly ordinary and did not stand out. Service was a mixed experience. My server was warm and friendly, but not particularly attentive. I had to wait for utensils after they were forgotten, and my water was not refilled until I was nearly finished with my meal and ready to leave. I also noticed that servers who were not directly attending to my table tended to avoid eye contact and did not engage much. I often found myself setting the tone--offering a smile or initiating conversation--before receiving that same energy in return. All in all, nothing about the food or service stood out as exceptional during this visit.
My 2nd visit here, I dined in at lunchtime on a Thursday. Suggested by my fabulous server, Meg, I tried and LOVED a non-alcoholic spirit, the Cranberry Cosmo. Since I had not yet eaten breakfast, I ordered avocado toast. Slightly generous, but just the right amount, of avocado spread. Also arugula, caramelized onions, balsamic sauce, heirloom tomatoes, parmesan cheese, and light balsamic sauce on wheat bread. It was delicious and fulfilling. Had to ask about the WTF (What's Trending Fresno) dessert, and ordered it for take out. On this day, the WTF was Daisy Cat. My littles and I enjoyed and devoured it at home. My 1st visit was in attendance for a private party over a year ago. Very appeased to return, and looking forward to reordering same and trying more on subsequent visits. Also, Naj shared with me their new location downtown, in The Galleria, opened a week or two ago!
I came here for the very first time on a Sunday morning with my husband after running at Woodward. The waiter who initially took our order was average and a bit hard to find, but we were later helped by someone who was very friendly and attentive, which made the experience better. We tried the chocolate French toast and the all American breakfast. The food came out fresh and tasted delicious. You can really tell the quality of the ingredients, which stood out to me. The inside of the restaurant is very cozy, with lots of plants and warm woven decor on the walls and baskets that give it a nice atmosphere. Overall, I might come back because the food was great, but the service did not fully impress me.
Held a dinner meeting at Zaatar and the staff was very accommodating with find us a table in a good place. I was recommended the Garden Mojito (non-alcoholic refresher) and it was perfect. The food & dessert was amazing! This is my 2nd time and just as good as I remembered.
First time at Zaatar Bistro (and first time ever trying zaatar itself) and it was a hit! We walked in and were quickly seated at a table for two with good natural lighting. It was around 11:30am on a Wednesday so it wasn't super busy. I appreciated the holiday decorations they had up as well. We ordered the Red Nectar teapot to start, which was perfect for the gloomy day. While we sipped on that, our orders of the kafta special and the Lebanese spirit came out, and I was blown away. The Lebanese spirit was wayyyy bigger than it looks in pictures. It was basically a small/personal pizza, and I was full after like 2-3 slices (and I picked off the kafta as well, so maybe I could've done one more slice). The kafta special was tasty and the sauce it came with added just the perfect amount of moisture. The fries were pretty standard, regular fries. Our waitress was relatively attentive but not overbearing. We appreciated her service. Will be back!
Had been wanting to visit here and finally did for breakfast on a weekend. Got there before 9am and only 1-2 other tables. Sat by the window which has a nice corner bench. Pistachio lattes are apparently their specialty which was nicely flavored. Got the breakfast hummus which was huge portion and is scrambled eggs on top of hummus and surprisingly good! Their bread is warm and seems freshly made. We also got one of their omelettes which were decent and their specialty combo breakfast which comes with fresh veggies, labneh and this flatbread like dish which was so nicely seasoned. Ambiance is festive and fun. Staff attentive enough for weekend and professional.
I've heard great things about Zaatar and was able to finally try it out! Went during brunch time and they have a small brunch menu selection for the weekends. My plate contained eggs, fries, a salad, and a slice of toast. The eggs were really good, fluffy. I ordered some bacon (3 pieces for $3.50) and it was perfectly cooked. But the thing that was the most satisfying was the espresso martini. It's perfectly balanced (coffee, liquor, texture). The service was great! Very attentive, open to answer questions. It's cute inside with lots of seating. They have a bar too which they were showing the NFL football game, perfect for people who want to get some food/drinks and watch the game. I believe they had the sound on but not too sure. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu for lunch and dinner. And I'm for sure coming back for the espresso martini.
A full service restaurant, ready to receive you for breakfast lunch or dinner! With gorgeous decor giving an earthy vibe paired with upbeat music you are sure to be in a great mood! Staff were so kind and patient. Stopping in for lunch was amazing! I noticed their vast drink menu and all the drinks sound quite yummy so I'll definitely be back to try some of those! The wrap had great flavor that wasn't overwhelming and the fries paired nicely. Also the pita bread was so fluffy, hadn't had one like this in a while so i was pleasantly surprised! I look forward to visiting either of their locations again!
I enjoyed an ok lunch here with friends recently. I was looking forward to it and based on the reviews I expected excellent food and friendly service. The food was good, the ambiance was fine, the drinks were ok, and the service was polite but I would not say friendly despite the efforts of our little group to be friendly to our server. She seemed like she was having a bad day or maybe had some bad news on her mind. For drinks at first I ordered a pear mocktail. It was very expensive, and the server said they didn't have any pear flavoring so they'd sub another fruit (maybe peach?) and it basically was just very expensive soda water with no flavor. I should have said no to it after she said the pear mocktail wouldn't have any pear in it. So that's on me. Other friends got the mango tea and seemed to enjoy that a lot more. The food was good. I got the appetizer combo as my meal. I chose hummus (good), spicy labne (excellent) and shan-klich (cheese with spices - good). It came with some perfectly fine bread. There was not a lot of bread though (or it was kind of unclear whether the bread was for my meal or for the table so we were sharing it and we were not offered more). Basically the food the good, the atmosphere was nice and we weren't rushed out, and the service was indifferent but not unkind, but the server seemed depressed / unhappy / indifferent enough that it made me a bit uncomfortable. Oh and she didn't provide us separate checks so we had to sort it out at the table with cash which was kind of a drag. Fortunately most of us had cash but it was like "who had what?" and then trying to make sure we paid enough and rounded up enough to make a good tip. As is normal in these situations I add in an extra $10 or so, on top of my order and tip, to make sure there's enough. So it ended up being kind of expensive for an appetizer and a mocktail -- and most places will just give you separate checks these days. I can tell this place is a nice place with good food and I wish them well, but based on this experience I was not impressed.

Update: Zaatar has a bartender that makes a killer Expresso Martini, better than Roy's version... We had the Kibbe Nayyi that's one on the best things on the menu as well as something new... Eggs n' Stuff with double chicken... Delicious It was like a pizza with cheese topped with deliciousness... Give it a try... read more
This not so hidden gem is tucked away in the corner of the shopping center at Cedar and Shepherd. I've been here a few times and I love the decor and the cozy bar area here. This time around I went with the steak wrap, and gawd dayum was it delicious. First off it's massive and jam packed with tender steak, sautéed peppers, onions, melted mozzarella, and a drinkable avocado mayo spread. The steak was super tender, flavorful, and paired perfect with the veggies. The pita was very soft and still warm when the plate was dropped. Like I said, the portion was generous. I was easily full just from half of the sandwich. I might have eaten the other half a few hours later. This plate also came with a side of their seasoned and deliciously crisp French fries. One minor critique was the ginger peach iced tea. While it was tasty, it's was pricey at a whopping seven dollars a cup, with no free refills. That small detail aside, the food and atmosphere are fantastic, and I will definitely be back to try more items from their menu soon! read more

My mother and I got to try this lovely bistro for the first time today. Menu items were unique, but everything absolutely sounded delicious. I do not think you could have gone wrong with anything. We ordered the Lebanese Spirit, Egg & Stuff, Chocolate French Toast, Hummus w/ steak, and Traditional Fatteh. Everything was freshly made and had quality ingredients. They do have their own special coffee and a bar. I ordered the pistachio latte, which was divine and so strong, just the way I like it. I even took one to go because I loved it so much. I think everyone can find something to their liking. My mom and I will definitely be back to try their lunch items. Given that my mom and I came an hour after they opened, it was very quiet inside. We enjoyed the place and how beautiful it was. I can't speak on service during lunch or dinner hours. For us, the service was excellent during the time we were there. I look forward to coming back. read more
Went for breakfast, service was great and attentive, the food was delicious and fresh. For drinks I got the hibiscus tea pot it was satisfying the color was rich and it was a shareable size for the table. My friends got the pistachio coffee they said it was creamy with the perfect blend of sweetness. I enjoyed my chicken warp it was very fresh and the garlic sauce was very garlicky just the way I like it. My friend got the Steak Fatteh and the pita bread and that is my new favorite dish. The avocado toast with scrambled eggs hit the spot. We will definitely be back here again and can't wait to try their dinner options next time. read more
This was my best friend's and my first time here, and even though it was pretty busy on a Sunday afternoon (just after lunchtime and almost packed), we only had one person ahead of us, so the wait was quick. I'd say we came at the perfect time! There were so many options to choose from. We were hoping for brunch but had just missed it, so we asked our server for recommendations. He suggested anything with chicken, especially the hummus with chicken, as well as the grilled salmon. Both dishes were fantastic! The hummus with chicken was a standout--it came topped with peanuts, sweet chicken, and caramelized onions that gave it a great flavor balance. The salmon was rich and creamy, served with mixed vegetables, asparagus, and perfectly seasoned fries that were light, fresh, and airy. It's a nice family-friendly place with a warm atmosphere, great décor, and even a bar area for those who want to unwind. I'll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu! read more
Love it here. Good ambience with indoor and patio seating. Great variety on the menu. We had the meza style that includes three spreads and pita bread. Their peta bread is so fresh and yummy! I'd highly recommend the spicy labne and hummus. The Kibbe B Laban was a delicious dinner option. Their espresso martinis are fabulous. Good coffee flavor. read more
I loved everything about this place. Everyone on staff is so friendly and accommodating. They made me feel like I was welcome and taken care of. The restaurant itself was beautiful. And the food, absolutely incredible. I got to try different Lebanese foods with unique flavors. The Lebanese Spirit was seasoned so well and had a delicious aroma. The deboned chicken plate had chicken that was lemony and flavored to perfection. It came with potato pita which was mashed potato inside a crispy pita pocket. It also had a heaping portion of grilled veggies and fries with a side of garlic sauce. The garlic sauce that it came with was amazing! Buttery and creamy. I also tried the seedlip. I ordered it hot and it had shredded coconut, cinnamon, and crushed pistachios on top. The hot drink was like a sweet milk flavored with rose water. I never tasted anything like it. It was so good! And everything was reasonably priced which I appreciate. I'm definitely going to be coming back here again. read more
Amazing service! Roy was hospitable, friendly, patient and thorough. He summed up the menu and made some recommendations for brunch. He made it so easy! His service made our experience at Zaatar more memorable! We ordered several things to share: Grandpas meal, Zaatar omelette, and the waffles. Everything was great! We didn't care for the beans of Grandpas meal which was a let down since it was the main part of it... but everything was so good! We were stuffed!!! For drinks, we ordered the Pistachio latte, espresso martinis. That pistachio latte is so good but goodness... it's the size of a soup bowl! It's huge! I took the rest to go and asked for some ice to go and they kindly put it in a to go cup that turned it into another drink! The ladies loved their espresso martinis... be careful though! It packs a punch! You can't even taste the liquor and next thing we knew, the girls were giddier than usual. Lol. It's such a cute spot! We def enjoyed it and would come back! read more

What a surprise! I have walked by this bistro a couple times and then heard their espresso martini's were fabulous, so I had to check it out. They were! To my surprise the best espresso martini's and they also had a fabulous breakfast! Joaquin our waiter was adorable and gave great service. I will definitely be back for lunch.. full bar, and nice inside ambiance. They also have a great back room for larger parties or some cute bistro tables outside. read more

I love their hummus here! And their puffy 'house made' pitas are FANTASTIC! I have come not to expect much from a restaurant's coffee 'offerings'. . . BUT. . . I had an unexpected surprise when I ordered their Rose Latte! Yes, I tasted fragrant essence of rose. . . (sip). . . and coffee (sip-sip) . . .COFFEE?! WOW! Rich (not burnt), it was the COFFEE that made it the BEST-tasting-coffee-I-had-EVER-had-in-ANY-restaurant! NOW, I was a woman on a mission; WHAT IS THIS COFFEE?! I found out that the owner was the barista for my order (and different baristas yield different results) but he graciously told me what brand it was; Organic Lucky Jack by Groundwork. I was BACK within a week with a friend of mine, so I could treat her to one with lunch! I also ordered some of my OWN online (I never do this. Not for coffee). Ask me if I LIKE it. LOL! :D When you walk through the front door, I have discovered that the environment is more quiet along the side wall BEFORE you get to the back dining room. Also on the outside patio. The radio volume is loud in the back. The food is fresh and delicious. Just check out those photos! A great place to make you feel as if you are 'out of town' enjoying life! read more
The food here is absolutely fabulous and authentically Lebanese, which is wonderful! Lots of traditional dishes that you can't find anywhere else, especially for brunch/breakfast. They offer a lot of American breakfast and lunch options too, so if you're just wanting more of a bistro type meal, you can find that here as well. We tried many of the more cultural dishes and loved them all, and my Lebanese friend had lots of positive things to say about how well things were made relative to her family recipes and time in Lebanon. The service is a little lacking after you get your food, but everything was prepared and served in a timely manner. The decor and ambiance is beautiful! Overall this place is delightful and special and I'm thankful we have it in Fresno! read more
Very cute and clean cafe. All the food was delicious and filling. The pistachio latte was lovely. Haloumi cheese was nice. Tiramisu was great. The fatteh was heavy and I couldn't finish it but I enjoyed it. Service was prompt and fast. I would visit again. read more

Definitely has become my go to lunch meet up spot in town. The food is consistently so good. Their hummus is a must every time and I've recently become a huge fan of their chicken wrap. Also best espresso martini in town IMO. Service has always been so great. Everyone that works here is so friendly, it truly creates the best atmosphere. I love that you never feel rushed or neglected, there's always people around that are more than happy to help. I always leave feeling so satisfied and always looking forward to my next visit :) read more

Great service, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere! The food was fresh, hot, and full of flavor--I especially enjoyed the seasoned wrap. Our server was new to the dinner menu (Jordan) but was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service. The ambiance was inviting, with good music, a clean dining area, and a warm, family-friendly feel. I would definitely visit again! read more
We ate here about a month ago on a Saturday afternoon as a party of 6. This restaurant is very cute and was not busy at all. It has a cute Mediterranean inspired modern interior with a large bar and an outdoor patio. To drink I had the Garden Spritz, which was delicious. I have never had this premade spritz wine but it was light but more herby tasting than a regular aperol spritz. To eat, we shared the fattoush salad, the feta appetizer, and the chicken and hummus, with pita bread. The fattoush salad was fresh, and you could taste the pomegranate in the dressing, but it needed more lemon. The chicken and hummus was tasty and very filling. The pita bread was fluffy. The feta appraiser was just a large plate of feta cheese with a lot of herbs and seasonings. I had thought it might be more of a whipped feta, but it was just the cheese. The cheese was also kind of dry instead of the moist feta from brine, and it was so heavily seasoned that you could hardly taste the feta flavor. It tasted almost like the inside of Subway sandwich shop smells, that's strong herby vibe. My brother in law got the burger, and it had a fun personal touch of the logo toasted onto the bun. The menu is also hard to follow because they serve a brunch but they don't have a separate brunch menu or even a separate side of the menu, so it's hard to follow which items are for dinner and whether those items are entrees, appetizers, etc and what they contain. read more

Thank you Nicole for leaving us a nice review. We are thrilled to…
very charming restaurant with great service and delicious food. made a reservation for saturday night dinner for two people and our dog. we requested patio seating, in which we were given the option of the front or back patio. we chose the back and enjoyed the rice pilaf, steak skillet and tabbouleh salad. the rice pilaf was buttery and rich. the steak skillet was saucy and excellently seasoned. the tabbouleh has fresh, citrusy and loaded with parsley. overall, a great visit and i'm adding it to my repertoire. read more
Delicious Lebanese cuisine made with fresh ingredients and served up by professional and friendly staff in a cafe that is as vibrant as the food and staff! My friend and I went today (Sunday) at 1:00pm. Wait was about 30 minutes which seemed to be average wait on a busy Sunday. Despite the busyness and 2 hours from closing, our hostess and waiter were unfazed and as friendly as you would expect if we had been their first customer of the day. I'm not sure if they take reservations but you may want to call ahead if time is of the essence or if you have a large party. I ordered the Zaatar salad with chicken. I was hungry and pleased by the large size. Salad was perfectly dressed and chicken was juicy. Well done Zaatar, you have gained a repeat customer! read more
