Our visit to Cazbar in Columbia was absolutely fantastic! The food was a true highlight — we enjoyed perfectly seasoned fries, tender lamb, flavorful doner kebab, and a delicious mezze platter. To top it all off, the Snickers cake was an indulgent treat that we’ll be dreaming about for a long time. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. Our kids had a great time, which made the experience even more enjoyable for us. We’ll definitely return again and again — Cazbar is now a family favorite! Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Turkish cuisine with an exceptional dining experience.
