Zaatar Bistro

Probably the best Mediterranean restaurant in the Valley. The effort being put forth here was obvious after the appetizers arrived. Fresh made pita with a large bowl of hummus with marinated chicken, sumac, and I think a pomegranate sauce with some olive oil. It wasn't a thin spread of hummus like most other restaurants serve. Lamb tartare was excellent. Kibbeh b Laban really hit the spot as a main. Every component of that dish was packed with flavor. The desserts here might be the best desserts in the city. I was really impressed by everything going on here. Also, great service. We picked a smaller table for two, but after we started ordering the server suggested we move to a larger table so it wasn't so packed with plates. I wish I could remember her name, but our server took the time to fully explain the menu and answered every question we had. She had a native's knowledge of every dish. A superb meal! Pro tip: order some toum and olive oil on the side. Goes well with most dishes, especially the lamb tartare.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting a fantastic restaurant that truly impressed me with its offerings and service. My initial visit was solely for their excellent tea, which lived up to its reputation with rich and aromatic flavors. However, the allure of their organic coffee prompted me to give it a try, and I was delighted by its smooth and flavorful profile. This led me to explore their menu further, and I couldn't resist their large breakfast plate, which introduced me to the delicious world of Lebanese cuisine with its fresh, vibrant flavors. The experience was elevated by the outstanding service I received from Genesis, the friendly new staff member, and Meg, who all ensured my visit was memorable. Their warm and professional approach made the dining experience all the more enjoyable. For anyone seeking superb beverages and a taste of a blend traditional Lebanese dishes and Mediterranean, and options of European and American, this restaurant is a must-visit.

This was my first time eating here. The customer service was lovely and we were constantly checked up on. I decided to order the Steak Fatteh. The cream was warm and slightly sour; the oil was smooth; the steak was cooked perfectly. Overall it was an excellent dish but not the flavors I would typically go for, personally. It’s definitely worth a try if you want something new! If I had to come back here I would. The environment is there and so are the options!

10/10 recommend! Such a great place for a traditional Lebanese breakfast. My favorite dishes are the Lebanese spirit, cheesiest fluffiest, manousha ever! Double the cheese. Also the hummus fettah dish, perfect balance of garlic and hummus. Hummus with steak is delicious with the tangy pomegranate molasses, large portion in my opinion. Freshly made pitas are heavenly. The mezza plate is great to share. With a pot of tea… the perfect breakfast!
