    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

I ordered the Seafood boil (Wild Crab Sauce-medium spicy--head on shrimp, mussels, crawfish, snow crab legs, corn & eggs) however when I opened the bag--they gave me potatoes as well which was nice of them to add. The smell was sooo good! The sauce was amazing. Next time I'll order it a little bit more spicier. Only thing is the crawfish were super small--could be cause wasn't in season, but I'll be back to try more of the menu. If you want seafood, come here! Definitely worth a try.

    This is a cute local spot, in Staten Island west Brighton area. Seems like a hidden gem because…read morethey've been open for 5 years (and I've never heard of it). Anyway the service was great we sat down and the menu has plenty of options. I have been craving wings, so wings I had (the garlic flavor) super crispy and flavorful. Then I tried the seafood ramen with chicken broth, It could've used a little more flavor but I added some eel sauce and it hit the spot. Finished with the small seafood broil (definitely shareable ) with shrimp mussels Dungeness crab noodles broccoli and an egg in the wild crab sauce--- didn't disappoint. We also tried the teas which they'll make to your sweetness preference. Psssst.... Super affordable as well. I'll see you there.

    Interior design is so aesthetically pretty and provides a wonderful and elegant dining experience!…read moreThe service provided by Behrouz was attentive, friendly, and warm, which definitely helped enhance the dining experience! Now onto the main topic, the food: This is by far one of the better middle eastern/seafood restaurant in all of Staten Island! The appetizers that were amazing were the chargrilled octopus, which is a MUST-GET, and the half dozen oysters which was by far one of the sweetest oysters we ever had (it was so good we ordered 3 orders!) The tuna tartare, calamari, and lobster bisque were all decent but nothing too special. For entree, the lobster pasta was perhaps one of the best tomato based pasta I ever had! Although the amount of lobster in the dish was on the smaller amount for its price, the flavor was so savory, sweet, and perfectly tangy, highly recommend it! The sea bass was good according to my family, but the flavor was on the milder side in my opinion; they liked it nonetheless so perhaps it's just a personal preference at this point. The lamb shank I would not get due to how overpowering it was; the sauce was salty and intense, where it overwhelmed every part of the dish. It was unfortunate because the lamb was so tender and had a nice proportion between its meatiness and its fat content. The dry aged steak was only okay too, since the spinach was so watery it soaked the steak in its liquid (as you can see from the photo), which detracted from the dish unfortunately. Overall it was a decent dining experience, where some were amazing and others were less so. It's a pricey dining experience but if you get all the right dishes, it's worth the price tag! Definitely recommend giving Sea Bar a try and I can't wait to come back again one day to give them the five stars I know they can definitely accomplish! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

They offered hummus and bread--super fresh. Ohhh, Get the lobster bisque it had the biggest pieces of lobster I've ever seen in lobster bisque!!! The calamari were cooked to perfection. They had the grilled watermelon salad and beets apps also delicious . Bronzino that was given was a hearty amount. The drinks were on point. They sang happy birthday and even though the kitchen was closed they made sure we didn't feel rushed or pressured. Can't wait to come try more and to get the soup again. See you there

Maybe serve whole pieces of pita? - cold appetizer - Mezze trio of eggplant salad , one of the most amazing tzatzikis I've ever had, and hummus. The eggplant salad tasted a little bitter to me. - my main was whole fried snapper. Nice and crunchy but a little bland. Small side salad also was a little bitter tasting. Lemon potatoes were a little disappointing. They could be a little more lemony. - friend had baked cod with potatoes and seasonal veggies. Desert was written on menu as strawberry crème brûlée but it was actually regular crème brûlée with small slices of strawberries on the edge. It was delicious. There has been a surge of Mediterranean restaurants opening in Staten Island and there is a lot of competition. There's a small parking lot in the rear so that helps since New Dorp is tight. Service was excellent. Clean restroom. Glad to see a large crowd dining on a Friday evening.
