It's not bad place for casual dining, but prices are leaning towards fine dining. Therefore, you do not feel satisfied at the end. Service was very good. Do not expect to see any achievements in designing - everything is very simple.

The atmosphere is slightly dressy, the staff are fabulous (Reed was my server), the food was scrumptious, and the belly dancing superb. While parking near the restaurant is a hassle, it was definitely worth the trouble. I can't wait to go back!

We find ourselves going back to Cazbar and recommending it to our friends. Once again, the food was good as well as the service. I do think that Jamie, our server, was a bit pushy and in my opinion, tried to rush us. We were there with a friend that I haven't seen in 30 years and Jamie repeatedly interupted... More

Turkish food you will love, the appetizer sampler was the best and there was so much we took some home. Try the turkish beer too. For an evening with entertainment call to find out when the bellydancers are dancing. You will need reservations!

Last night my wife and I went to Cazbar with a couple of friends. Everyone in our group had a great time. The food was excellent, the service was superb and the entertainment (belly-dancing) was fantastic. First, due to a missed text message from our friend, we parked a couple of blocks away. If I had seen the text sooner,... More

We are locals and love this place. I've been to the restaurant 3 times and have gotten carry out and delivery several times. We also used them to cater our Christmas party based on my suggestion. The food is wonderful and the service is spectacular. The decor is nice and it's a great place for visitors and locals.

Ate here twice, at a conference. Food has a lot in common with middle eastern cuisine, but with quite a few additions. The lahmacun appetizer is recommended, and would serve as a meal for many. These are thin crust pizza slices with spicy lentil paste, served with chopped tomato and onion and herbs and lemon wedges. Pides are also pizza... More

Enjoyed a terrific Valentine's Dinner at Cazbar. We had tried their food at ArtScape in July and finally visited the restaurant in Feb. The Sultan's Platter for two was a perfect choice - it is the utlimate combo appetizer and entree plus rice pudding dessert for $69! A great deal and just terrific food! We had enough left for a...

My wife and I tried Cazbar during the 2003 Baltimore Restaurant Week. I tried Pomegranate Wine for the first time and found it similar to a Merlot with Pomegranate flavors; I enjoyed it enough I had a second glass. The Pris Fix menu was somewhat limited but we both enjoyed our dinners and will probably return. We started with a... More
