About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Vegetarian-friendly
  • Good for groups
Zaatar Cuisine was originally inspired by Maryland's long association with Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food. In the Baltimore region, consumers’ desires for ethnic flavors have grown even more, and so the owners conjured up the city's newest spot for fine food: Zaatar Mediterranean Cuisine.

Fresh food is at the heart of Zaatar's menu. Only the freshest cuts of meat make it to the table, and the original recipes chart the course for goodness. Middle Eastern cuisine relies on fresh vegetables, lentils, and grains, which you will find on your plate at Zaatar. High quality, all natural ingredients are the goals for Zaatar Cuisine.

People of all ages will find something they love at Zaatar. We offer a children's menu, as well as a wide variety of delicious choices on our vegetarian menu.

    The food was good, but we got stuck in the front window table in the corner and had subpar service. At first it was hard to tell who our server was. Then is seemed our server was taking care of every table there and was stretched a bit thin. Though she was nice, I had to get up a few times to get things I needed. We refilled our own waters with a pitcher that was on the bar. Luckily the place is BYOB, so our wine was on the table. The restaurant itself seemed dirty to me. There were flies hovering around us throughout our meal. We killed at least 3 ourselves. There is no theme to the restaurant; it seems like mix and match which is not very cohesive or particularly welcoming. The bathroom was gross and at one point someone was vacuuming behind the bar for at least ten minutes. I don't care what happened, there is no excuse for that.

    Excellent food and experience. The servers were nice and courteous, though we felt they could use one more person at least to make things quicker.

    The food was delicious and seemed very authentic, and the menu had unusual items (such as the delicious date shake, Mohamarah, and several versions of Lebneh) along with many Mediterranean items you would expect. The atmosphere is warm and homey, and lively but not too noisy. According to a notation on the menu, all the meat is Halal. No alcohol is served but the website menu indicates BYOB is permitted. We had a very enjoyable meal there.

    This was not a good dining experience. My husband's shawarma sandwich was full of stringy, tasteless meat. The chicken in my kebab sandwich was cooked well, but it was covered in mayonnaise (which I did not want), and the pita was of low quality. I also ordered a house salad (which turned out to be very large) but there was only lemon juice - no olive oil or other dressing on it, which began to grate on my teeth. In addition, after she served our food, our waitress did not check to see how we were doing, or how we liked the food. I do not recommend this restaurant at all.
