It is self-service (you have to bus your own tables), but I suspect this is what keeps the prices low. It was bustling this weekend and my food was delicious.

I eat every day at their place really I love very much the super good food and a fresh taste and I see concerning the prices it is advantageous Thank you so muchKhaled M. 4/01/2021
This is the best restaurant in park slope. The outdoor seating is beautiful. And the manager Chris was kind and attentive and provided great service. I can’t speak more highly of the food and the atmosphere and service of ZatarsKevin J. 9/09/2021

My husband and I went to Zatar for the first time for brunch yesterday and loved it so much that we ordered it for delivery today. We've been a bit disappointed lately by places that don't seem to live up to their Yelp hype, but that's definitely not the case with Zatar. It exceeded our expectations. The chicken is beyond tender and flavorful and the baba ganoush is by far the best I've had in a very long time. The falafel is so crunchy and crispy on the outside yet soft and well seasoned on the inside. My husband had the merguez melt and loved it. The merguez was really flavorful and he loved the addition of the capers. As if it couldn't get better, I want to add that their salad greens are very fresh and a great mix of textures, and the salad dressing is also really well balanced (they are not heavy handed with it, which is a plus). The staff members are friendly and helpful with their recommendations. Very great experience all around, at the restaurant and also for delivery. read less

Really fresh food - took its time but it was worth the wait! Went for the chicken with rice and salad. Can tell it was marinated really well, and the fries were so fresh 😍Leila F. 5/15/2023
Steve I. 6/13/2019 Park slope needs a restaurant that is tasty , affordable and healthy. Also kid friendly and air conditioned. Nice people . Good food and great prices.
Gets busy spells, be patient. Good luck to the newest Park slope eatery.

My friend and I both had the chicken shwarma sandwich and shared the fries. The chicken shwarma was very flavorful and nice portion and the fries were so delicious with the zatar sprinkled on top. I really enjoyed the food and the vibe overall and would return to try other items.
The only bad comment I have to make is that the same song kept playing on repeat which after a while can drive someone crazy. I don't know how the staff there does not change the music up since they have to listen to it all day. read less
- Wonderful little much-needed Mediterranean spot in Bushwick! The hummus was some of the best I’ve had in BK and the employees were extremely pleasant. Looking forward to trying more items!Lauren B. 3/04/2020

Veggie hummus was probably my favorite out of the entire meal. It was generously portioned in terms of pita to hummus ratio which I really appreciate! The hummus itself was very flavorful, creamy, and rich in seasoned vegetables. So fulfilling and tasty.
My shakshuka came on a wooden platter in a stone bowl. The stone bowl made my shakshuka boiling hot throughout the whole meal. Because of this, the meal was continuously cooking as I was eating it so my poached egg became dry and completely cooked. The tomato sauce became pasty over time, especially mixed with the cooked yolk. The shakshuka also tasted burnt in some parts because of the stone bowl -- the edges were over cooked from the bowl. This is not how personally like my shakshuka, so I was a bit unsatisfied. But overall, very flavorful and enjoyable shakshuka apart from the overcooked part of it!
My boyfriend ordered the Crispy Kabobs (beef) with rice. It was tasty but one major complaint is the amount of meat that was given. It was very small pieces of crispy beef that was not proportional to the amount of rice and veggies on the plate. If there had been a bit more meat, the meal would've been great with no complaints!
Very simple and quick service here -- it's an order at the cashier and seat yourself type of restaurant. The staff is very friendly as well! Prices are reasonable and location is super close to public transport. read less
