We were looking for a hookah spot and we ended up having the best meal ever. We were greeted by Chico who came up and told us we could seat anywhere. Of course, due to the weather, we sat next to open windows. Chico was extremely attentive. We ordered our hookah as well as our apps. The Spicy Hummas was the best we have ever had. I mentioned to Chico I wish the Pita was warmer and within 2 minutes he had the warmest, softest pita on the table. We also had tabbouleh which was so fresh and the parsley was not at all overpowering, the perfect balance. Ryan, our server came over and we had the best conversation. He gave us great recommendations on how to continue the night. My girlfriend wanted what she had order on uber eats before, and Chico mentioned that dish was only available to-go. But he made an exception... not only was the presentation stunning, but she said she would never order it on uber eats again. IT WAS THAT GREAT. Thank you Zatar, Chico, and Ryan. What a great night! read more

Zatar - Chicken Rice Bowl, Spicy Hummas, and Tabbouleh - Lebanese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Cheese rolls were really good and rich in flavor. The loaded fries disappointed a bit. It said topped with chicken shawerma but it definitely lacked any shawerma flavor. It was just a tasteless grills chicken. Overall the place is chill.. hookah was good, and service was good and they kept checking up on my table to see if we needed anything... would I come back? Probably yes for the hookah and maybe to give the food another shot. read more

Go for the happy hour. 4$ fantastic hummus! Everything we had was great. 6$ cocktails too. Service was on the slower side but really friendly workers. Say outside on the patio - it is a hookah bar! But open to the outside and covered. read more

Zatar - Happy hour spread - Lebanese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Did not really enjoy my time dining in here. Ended up, sitting in the patio area for happy hour, and I got one of the sandwiches on the side of fries. The meat and the sandwich was not very tasty, and it kind of made my stomach a little bit upseta few hours later. They also did not serve tapwater and only bottled water, which was honestly kind of annoying. Probably will not come back here ever. This is also a little bit sarcastic and rude at times. read more

This place was not the best. the service was lacking and slow, even though there were not many people seated. happy hour prices are okay, but the selection is very limited. quality of the food was honestly pretty bad...the chicken seemed not fresh, and the fries were very bland. they also do not give tap water and will charge for water bottles, even if you ask for tap water. bathroom could also use some cleaning. overall, this place could really improve in all aspects, and i probably will not be back to visit. read more

. Zåtar is a beautiful spot in the heart of downtown Dallas with excellent food and a great atmosphere. However, the hookah lounge falls short of expectations. The equipment feels outdated, the flavors are weak, and the service in the lounge is slow--you often have to flag someone down for assistance. I'd definitely recommend coming here for the food, but would skip the hookah experience. read more

Zatar - Lebanese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Ordered take out via uber eats and came to see the reviews. They had the rice bowl with chicken shawarma and it was excellent. I think the only thing I didn't love was the pita bread- it's not the style that I'm accustomed to but it was fine. I would have loved more salad and less rice as an option but I don't write the menu or own the restaurant so I was quite happy with what I got. Will definitely order again. read more

I'm glad I stumbled upon this spot. The decorations were nice and the music was definitely an R&B/Hiphop vibe. The customer service was really good. Our server and the hookah guy stopped by frequently to check on us and make sure we were good. I got the lavender lemon drop martini which was super delicious and my guys margarita was good too. The hookah flavor watermelon, peach, mint was good. The only downside of this place is that it gets really cold in the hookah side of the restaurant. The windows are not insulated and you could definitely feel it. The hookah sat between us did supply a little warmth though. I'd definitely go back. Edit: The management let me know that the cold weather hit them by surprise and since have set up space heaters to make sure guests are comfortable. This is awesome! read more

Not a lot of choices for food and drinks, lamb kebabs are the best choice, beef skewers are also good

Love the staff here. Always a nice and relaxed vibe. The hookah HITS and is very affordable! The food is just ok, but it's good for small bites. The fries are bomb and most of the appetizers! Lavender lemon drop is my absolute favorite drink, so refreshing and delicious! Follow me for more! @MissMo2323 read more

I ordered the jack frost cocktail. This was like ambrosia in a cup! Also dangerous as I couldn't even taste the alcohol. If youre in the mood for super sweet, dessert like cocktails, this is the place to be. The mezze platter is definitely worth getting if theres a group of people that are hungry. All of the dips are great, especially the hummus. The falafel are some of the best you can get in Dallas. They are crispy, full of spice on the inside, and a fluffy interior. The cheese cigars are good, but not as fantastic as they could be. Im biased because I really like the cheese cigars they serve at Baboush instead. The fattoush salad was good, but don't expect anything fancy or artisanal. The pita bread is the weakest part of the platter. It's the flat, straight from a bag pita that's filler in my opinion. The mixed brochette isnt as good as a value or a platter as I had hoped. Most of the meat felt kinda dry and overcooked. The one meat that stood out the most was the beef kabobs. The portion of meat is also quite small for what you get. I don't expect a whole filet of steak, but I feel either they need to serve more meat, or lower the price for what you receive. The platter alos has way more rice than meat. I wouldn't recommend the brochette, but I would recommend the beef kabobs (assuming backstaff cook it right). Service wise, our waiter and staff were cordial, but there are times where they weren't as accessible as I would have hoped. I imagine they are understaffed, as it seemed only two waiters for the whole floor on a Saturday night. Ive been wanting to try this place for a while. Im glad I was finally able to, but I will say it seems hit and miss. While they have a lot more stuff on the menu I havent tried yet, my intial impression isnt magical. read more

Really enjoyed the food - so many vegetarian options and also gluten-free ones (except pita of course). I enjoyed the dips with falafels, especially loving the labneh. Service was friendly, the decor is basic, ambiance is on the casual cafe side. read more

I was visiting Dallas, as I waited for my friend I decided to wait at Zåtar. The host was super welcoming and stored my luggage once I walked in. I arrived at 7pm, it was pretty calm not many people. I order mojitos, hookah and chicken wrap. Let me tell you, these mojitos were made to perfection! Perfect balance of each ingredient! I saw a few plates and completely regretted getting a chicken wrap lol but it was tasty! Staff were constantly checking in, which I appreciated! The music was such a vibe both days. Loved this place so much ended up coming back for hookah and drinks the next day. read more

Meh. It was hotter inside than it was outside in here. There was no circulation and I was sweating! The service was very slow and the hookah was weak. We didn't get any food because we came here after dinner so I can't speak to that. Our server never came back once the hookah came out and the coals desperately needed to be replaced. Another server walked by and knocked the coals down and never turned around and then our server never came back to replace them. read more

Ahhhh the vibes, gotta love the music here. Came for a lil hookah on a lovely semi cloudy afternoon and it did not disappoint. With all the hustle and bustle in Deep Ellum this was a nice escape. Our sever Ryan, was great, super attentive and patient. The appetizer sampler was delicious and the pickled radishes made my heart smile. Perfectly complimented by a pot of mint tea, thanks for everything I needed. read more

Ryan is the best! Always such a great time here when he's our server. 10/10 hookah and drinks

What a hidden gym. I've lived in Dallas in entire life and was always curious about this place. I attended a Sunday afternoon with friends. The place is separated; one side hookah lounge/ the other side restaurant. We opted for the hookah lounge. I can't comment on hookah experience bc I did not partake. However the food and cocktails were delish. I had the Lebanese mixed grill with chicken and beef kabob. The tabouli was great and good overall was seasoned nicely. The service was subpar and the hummus lacked flavor. I'll be back to taste more menu items. The lavender lemon drop was also tasty read more

Zatar - Lavender lemon drop - Lebanese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I'm so disappointed... the menu looked amazing! We had reservations, which once we arrived it was empty on the inside. The patio was packed. We were greeted and seated immediately. Then we sat........................ This is the biggest disappointment on service! We had earlier plans and we're starving. We waited.............. and waited....... Then walked out! I cannot understand why on earth restaurants do this? It's amazing to me that this even happens, especially in Deep Ellum we can walk to the next destination. Today businesses can't afford to lose customers. I won't give this place a second chance. Really wish they would have at least got us drinks. That would have made us stay about 15 mins past what we should have. read more

What jerks. The only restaurant I've ever been to in Texas that requires you to buy bottled water. They refuse to serve tapwater instead of polluting the world with all that plastic just do a restaurant cover charge because that's what it is. Food is good. the service is deplorable, the owners should be ashamed of themselves. I guess they don't realize the world has a plastic problem that they're contributing to greatly. I will never step foot in that restaurant again. read more

This is my go-to hookah bar in Dallas. There aren't many hookah bars in the city but this has to be the best. They have great hookah and the service is great. The staff is very friendly and always happy to help. Not only can you smoke hookah but you can pair it food and cocktails. I usually get the shawarma and the Zatar old fashioned. The best time to stop by is on the weekend. They have music and usually have the games on their tv. The also have a projector set up just in case you want to watch the games on the big screen. They don't have a parking lot and street parking is limited so it probably would be best to Uber if coming from out the city. read more

We had a great time eating here. We ordered the lamb chops, mixed grill and the spicy hummus . And some wine ! Everything was delicious. We ate it all! The only thing I would change is the pita bread could have been warm when brought out. Other then that I would recommend this place. Great service too, it wasn't too busy on a Friday night. And if you're interested in hookah, they have an area separate for that. read more

For authentic, amazing bites, go to Zatar! The beef shwarma and lamb are two of favorite things. The flavor and tenderness of the lamb is unparalleled. The salmon also comes out in a nice portion and lots of flavor. I haven't tried and appetizer that I haven't loved. Their bar tenders can whip up just about anything you want and it taste perfect! The service and management go above and beyond to make event enjoyable! read more

Zatar is perfect for a friends night out, date night and even a solo night out. Ryan and Joe was my server and they were friendly and attentive. I tried the lemon pepper and Buffalo and they were really good and crispy. I also had the peachy moscato cocktail and highly recommend. It is very sweet but good. Their hookah is authentic and doesn't burn fast. I had a hookah that lasted 3 hours straight!!! They play light music and it is located in deep ellum. I'll be a regular here from now on read more

Came in to kill time and have some dinner before a show. The service was awesome, the whole staff checks on you. I had the chicken shawarma, it was delicious. The hummus wasn't my favorite but I'd be open to trying other items on the menu. The hookah lounge next door had a nice vibe. read more

This is a lovely restaurant with good food. We ordered a mixed grill plate and two small plates. Everything was well prepared and any dislikes would have been of personal preference not because of poor food. We liked it all. Please note that this restaurant is devided into two sections, one is a more formal restaurant and the other is casual and has hookah smoking. I am a non smoker and wouldn't want to expose kids to it. The more formal side has incense burning. Like serving people wearing cologne or perfume, I find the smell doesn't mix well with the food. I like the cooking smells and not the overly sweet smell of the incense. So for me although the food was good the smells and expense ( it is not inexpensive) make this restaurant a pass for me. read more

I asked them to fry my wings and they were not fried hard at all...I always enjoy the atmosphere but tonight it was just a different vibe. Hopefully it will be better then next time read more

Our family, all adult, had a terrific time here. Very festive atmosphere. The server timed our dishes perfect. The gyro meat in the platter was moist and savory. The single hookah lasted throughout our dinner. I had the lamb chops medium rare and it was amazing. We loved the baba ganoush, dolma, kefta, and falafel appetizer. Everyone was happy with their food. The cook, herself, came out to check on us. We will try to make it to Zatar every time we are in Dallas. read more

Really good and unique food for Deep Ellum!! I've been meaning to try this place forever. I walked by the open patio and it always smells so good. I love food like this so I'm glad I finally made my way here! Plan to eat family style!! The best way to go here IMO. They even have family style plates as an option! The gyro plate was excellent. The meat was cooked to perfection. The French fries are also amazing- perfect complement. I will say the pita bread wasn't my favorite, and since it's personally my favorite part, that's why I'm docking a star. It was a bit too hard for me. Also I usually am a sucker for stuffed grape leaves, but I didn't really enjoy them and wouldn't order them again. I'm very happy I finally ate here!! read more

Food: Beef shawarma hummus + pita 4/5 -- good sized portion with generous servings of beef Falafel 3/5 -- mediocre, too fried/oily Mixed special 3/5 -- the grilled sirloin was well cooked (medium) and tender, the chicken and kafta were a bit dry Kenefeh 3/5 read more
