I'll have to return and try the other plates. Terrific space and great location (for me). The chicken was very good. I'd say spices were more impressive than the quality of the chicken. Price is moderate-high for what you get, I think. Service was fine. I wish this small, local restaurant success in this neighborhood. I suspect they will continue to up their game. read lessChris W. 9/06/2019Excellent Arabic-Yemeni food In the neighborhood for an art opening, my wife and I tried this place -- which is actually at 201 Central Ave., not at TripAdvisor's address of 1294 Myrtle Ave. It's actually the same place.

We had the "Variety Dip" appetizer, with three mouthwatering dips and fat pitas for $9.95. Then I had the Falafel Meal ($10) with the best falafel balls I've ever had -- soft in the middle, crusty on the outside. My wife had the Salmon Kabob Meal ($16) which was very tasty. I had Yemeni Tea ($3.50), which tasted of cardamom. We don't get around here often, but when we're around again, we'll definitely come back. read lessAkalith 10/20/2019

First discovered this place pre-COVID. Stumbled upon this place randomly right when they opened on a quiet weekend morning. Luckily we had the whole place to ourselves and were serviced by one of the owners, who gave us personalized recommendations and clearly made everything with love and attention - you could taste it. Still remember our experience years later. Love this area, plenty of cool places to check out nearby and make it a fun filled day. read lessCathy K. 3/09/2021UPDATE:Moon K. 8/06/2023

If you order for take out just make sure to check the contents before leaving the restaurant. I love their food and order to take to the park often and I am almost always missing utensils when I specifically ask for them and a few times I was missing the salad that comes with my meal.
Shwarma meal was phenomenal. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, not dry, not mushy. Rice was also super fluffy and delicious! Super underrated spot! Super well priced with generous portions too! read lessAnother place for people to sit with their computers and a cup of coffee for hours.Jazz P. 8/22/2019

Hate the cafeteria style of this place. I don't want to have to order my food, get my silverware (plastic ware), napkins, etc...and sit there with a number on the table.
They're beyond slow, food is "fine", but overall it lacks wanting to go back. Tried it twice. Once for dinner and we decided it was only good for lunch or take away. So later tried for lunch take away. Waiting I believe 25 mins for a sandwich. Not busy as most people are having coffee and on their computers.
We won't be back. Was really looking forward to a new addition to the neighborhood, but not impressed sadly. It's just "fine". read less - The falafal is really light and crisp - the highlight of the meal.Jessica L. 3/26/2019

I got the falafal sandwich, which was mildly spicy and had greens and onions. It was good but I wish it had more of the falafal. Next time I'd rather pay more and get the platter because I didn't care for the pita and other greens inside the wrap.
There's a croissant dish that was delicious. The Yemeni tea is similar to chai and I really taste the nutmeg. Highly recommend those two.
Pita and hummus were ok, nothing exceptional. I've had better for sure. I thought the texture of the hummus was soso, kinda thick and not that smooth. I don't think they make their own tahini. The shashuka flavor was very robust. I liked it but it's served in a small stone dish, and it will continue cooking so be sure to eat that first.
I came on an early Sunday morning and we were the only ones. The place has great ambiance and would be somewhere I'd revisit again. read lessSo this was my 2nd time here, and it was even better than the First.Sanatra K. 7/19/2019

Absolutely outstanding.
Authenticity at its finest.
Zatar serves Brunch all week not just Sat & Sun, and although u can find the standard Brioche French toast , or an egg platter in this bushwick hot spot.
I'd recommend trying ALLLLL of the traditional Mediterranean breakfast options instead! Trust me they are Fuckin Delicious!
Pardon my French lol.
The vibes are really chill , the chef even plays the dopest hip hop jams all while whippin da pot like a true Brooklyn G!
Zatar even has free WiFi , if you're in to that sort of thing, because some people would rather take pics of their food than actually eat it j/k snap away
Anyways yeah.... Zatar Gets the official Chef Keys Stamp!
