    Mix Appetizers plate (Hummus, Babaganoush, Eggplant Salad,  Sauced Eggplant, Aci Ezme, Muhammara)
    Vadim B.

    Excellent food, service, and atmosphere! We visited Zara Arthur for a family dinner on Sunday, Feb 16, just next day after the official opening. What a new gem we got in the area! Everything was excellent: nice decor and atmosphere; delicious food and desserts; quick, friendly and attentive service! Restaurant manager Yunus stopped by us to check how we liked the food and the service. We felt like dear guests and enjoyed our visit. We highly recommend Zara Arthur for a delicious Turkish cuisine and great atmosphere! Food ordered Appetizers Balloon Bread with olives - freshly baked, with sesame seeds on top, it was a great start to the meal and a must have complement for the appetizers. Mix Appetizers - 6 cold appetizers to choose. We got: Hummus, Babaganoush, Eggplant Salad, Sauced Eggplant, Aci Ezme, Muhammara. This is certainly a highlight of the menu! Delicious and lets you sample 6 appetizers! All were great and we especially liked Aci Ezme and Muhammara which were something new from the usual Mediterranean fare. Fried Liver Cubes - The liver pieces were soft and tender, perfectly spiced, and overall delicious! Cheese Rolls - great, with melted feta inside. Lentil Soup - excellent, as it should be. Entrees We got 4 different kebabs and all were really excellent and tender. Lamb Shish Kebab - perfect and flavorful. Adana Shish Kebab - delicious and flavorful. Chicken Shish Kebab (small) - our 10y old daughter liked it so much that we didn't even get to try it. Beef Shish Kebab - medium rare, soft, melting in the mouth. However, flavor was a bit lacking on this one. Some marinade or spices would make it better. Desserts Baklava - very fresh! Kazandibi (milk pudding) - good Keskul (almond pudding) - good Tea - this was one of the best teas I ever had in a restaurant! Not a bagged tea, but freshly brewed, strong and aromatic!

    The food was delicious, we had the cold mix appetizer, all were so yummy!!! My favorite was the babaghanoush. My boyfriend loved the humus, he is very picky and tried everything and enjoyed it all. Falafel appetizer was so lightly fried and crisp and the taste well that was my favorite!! For our Entree we shared the Zara Mixed Grill the rice is so good, all of the meats were tender and seasoned deliciously. The balloon bread is unbelievable!! You can tell the food was freshly made and not sitting around! I can not stop thinking about the falafel, so good. Staff was all friendly and worked as a team. We were checked on numerous times. The place has a very casual, and friendly environment for our date night and they even dimmed the lights and sang happy birthday to a large group. We will definitely be back or order soon!

    Every time we eat here or get take-home, we all agree that the food here is fresh. It's not only fresh, it's absolutely delicious. From the salads, to the bread, to the mains. Even the little salad that comes with the take out meal is fresh, mixed well and delicious. (See pic) I would've posted pics of the mains, but was too hungry. The portions are more than generous. The staff is friendly & helpful, whether in person or over the phone. The place is physically immaculate. The price is fair. We pay less here than any of the diners, and get far better food. Can't recommend this place highly enough. We've frequented this location and the one on Hylan Blvd. Both are amazing. We'll keep coming back.

    The ambiance in this restaurant reminds me of Mediterranean style decor. Seating is very comfortable and authentic. The service from Teresa was fine but the food is outstanding. Always fresh and delicious. We had the hummus and falafel. We will definitely be back.

    Yet another great experience at Zara. This was our first time trying the new location and it is very cozy. Inside you can see the fire in the oven while you are eating and it looks very comforting. The wall decor is nicely painted onto the walls and is not overbearing. The food was excellent and the service was very good as always. My girlfriend ordered the Adana kebab platter and I ordered the iskender kebab platter and both were excellent. My girlfriend always gets the Sheppard salad and it's her favorite thing and I enjoy it as well. The complementary bread and olives are also very nice and always fresh out of the oven. If you are in the mood for Mediterranean food I always recommend Zara

Well, WAS is the key word. My husband gave it 3 star because of the mission of the Cafe, but the food he would give a 2. We ordered the cheese grits bowl for pickup. We got a container of cheese grits- okay but they needed salt and more cheese. A container of scrambled eggs cooked soft like we asked but they also needed salt, and a container with 2 sausage patties (which were flavorless). We also got a side of biscuits. Dry, seemed like the kind in a can- with no butter or honey, just a bunch of ketchup! My husband saw the banana pudding in the mason jar- so he added that to our order. $8. He went back in because he didn't see it. They said it was in a container. He returned and it was in there- in a very tiny container barely filled halfway- looking nothing like the one in the restaurant, and it wasn't that good, the bananas weren't ripe, and still hard. I'm thankful for the mission, so we may give it another try but maybe eating in is the way to go- we won't do takeout again!

Food is always great here. We come when we're in the area of Staten Island. I know the owner changed places and this new location has all the right feels. Ample seating and ambiance is great.

Most importantly, it seems they love what they do and love their customers. It's SO important when you can feel that kind of good energy because then you know you're in good hands. I came for a big birthday dinner. All the appetizers were pre-ordered and we got to choose from four entrees (bronzino, chicken, a burger, or salmon). When it comes to large table spreads, some dishes are always better than others. The food was good. I really enjoyed the octopus, charcuterie board, and the burrata (especially the sauce it came with). The middle course was pasta and they gave us a tasting of two. One was a vodka sauce pasta and the other had bolognese. Both good. By the time our entrees arrived I could barely eat another bite. I had the chicken. It was fine, nothing special. I liked the porcini sauce it came with and the mashed potatoes. Since it's a bakery they have a nice selection of sweets. Too bad I had zero room for desserts but people seemed to enjoy the profiteroles. On a Saturday night this tiny restaurant was packed. Another shoutout to the service because they don't have much staff and it's hard managing a party of 20 plus other tables. They did a really nice job.

My main order was the buttermilk chicken sandwich which I enjoyed. My partner enjoyed his garlic steak sandwich as well. The restaurant is really clean and spacious. I enjoyed my date and experience at the restaurant. I will be returning to try out the Brunch menu.

What really stood out to me was the presentation. The plating is decorative and gives upscale, fine dining vibes, which makes the whole brunch feel elevated rather than just casual. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. It has a cute café-style brunch vibe with an airy, light, and inviting decor. It feels relaxed but still aesthetically put together. The service was also excellent--our server was very attentive and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. I also liked that they offer mocktails and allow BYOB for alcohol, which gives you flexibility depending on your preference. Now, just to be real--this place is popular, so expect a wait. It can get crowded and a bit tight inside, especially during peak brunch hours. Parking is also something to plan for since there's limited space (the lot only fits about four cars), so you'll likely need to find street parking. Overall, I definitely recommend Blossom Brunch. The food, vibe, and service are all on point. Honestly, they're doing so well that I hope they expand soon--it's clearly a spot that's in demand and could benefit from more space.

    The ambiance was charming and inviting. Although the space was slightly small inside, the wall…read moredécor was stylish and added to the restaurant's character. The pancakes were definitely the highlight of the meal. We ordered the sampler sizes of the Tres Leches, Fruity Pebbles, and Banana Pudding pancakes. Out of the three, the Fruity Pebbles pancakes were by far the best, flavorful, fun, and wellbalanced. The Tres Leches pancakes, while good in concept, were overwhelmingly sweet. The Banana Pudding pancakes, however, were enjoyable and had a nice balance of flavor. For savory dishes, the Crab Cake Benedict was excellent and full of flavor. Unfortunately, the Chicken & Waffles Benedict did not meet expectations. The chicken lacked seasoning and crispiness, making the dish taste bland overall. I was not a fan of that particular entrée. On the other hand, the regular Chicken & Waffles dish was much better and came with three wings coated in a tasty hot honey sauce. The service and hospitality, however, left a lot to be desired. Although our waiter was kind , the timing of food was lacking. Also they did forget to give us utensils and we had to ask when one of the dishes arrived (because they didn't all arrive at the same time ) . Our table of four initially received only three drinks, leaving one person waiting an additional five minutes for theirs. The food was brought out one dish at a time rather than together, which disrupted the dining experience. The last dish to arrive, the Chicken & Waffles and Eggs Benedict ,came out so late that the rest of the table had already nearly finished eating. Overall, while some of the food items stood out positively, the lack of coordination and attentiveness in service negatively impacted the overall experience.
