    My family & I went to Cazbar to celebrate my son’s graduation. We all had a great time! Food was delicious, service was friendly and efficient, and the entertainment (belly dancers) was enjoyed by everyone. Cazbar is a bit on the pricey side but definitely worth it if you have something to celebrate. All in all it was a memorable evening and I would absolutely recommend it!

    Very crowded, loud, lack service. This was a surprise birthday dinner for my husband. There were 14 guest that attended. Since the group was so large o had to communicate to with the owner Haluk to make sure we had everything we need. We couldn’t bring an outside cake due to the restaurant having its own bakery. So I ordered a cake through them. When we got there the waiter was rushing us to order our food and when he did get our order we never saw him again. I believe for a party this large there should have been multiple waiters. We wanted to order drinks but only had a chance to order 1 round of drinks because the waiter was nowhere to be found. The dancers only came to our table for about 2 mins and we were the last table they came to. We had cash to give to the dancers but the show was over when the dancers came to our table. If you’re seated in the back you will not be able to see the dancers. The cake came out after the dances and there was so many tables that ordered a cake. On my text to the boss I asked for a red velvet heart cake. We got a chocolate round cake. One of our guest was allergic to chocolate. I asked the waiter if there’s anything that can be done. He just offered an apology from the manager and that was it. Eventually, after complaining so many times to the waiter about it and how terrible of service we had he was able to take off the cake. The food was ok not excellent for the price. I would just think for a party this size booked well in advance the restaurant would of been able to accommodate us better

    Calamari appetizer was over-priced at $13 for a handful of semi-tough squid pieces...but the sauce was very good. Fried beef borek bit greasy & under-filled compared to last visit. Lamb 3 ways - lamb chops bit over done & tough. Lamb moussaka was excellent. Our server was too busy with a large party nearby to be there for us when we needed service....though she did try. Restaurant forgot to recognize a birthday celebration:(

    Could have been so much better. Once the belly dancing started it turned into a club experience with music so loud there were no conversations to be had in the restaurant. Even after the performance, the music continued and made any conversation impossible. Ruined the otherwise good experience. Food was really good, unfortunately the waitress was pushy and impatient. But I would go again if I go early enough to be out the door before the music starts. I don’t understand why restaurants think they have to be blasting music? The food should be good enough to attract diners.

    The restaurant changed the Lord since we visit last time. Food quality degraded. Customer service dropped. My food was dry, cold and tasteless. My wife ordered shrimp kebab. It came with exactly for shrimp with the price tag of $34. It was burned and bitter. For dinner was ruined. Totally when we find that my wife's dress got gum from the chair, maybe you left to buy some previous guest.

    We had mixed reviews on the food. We liked the mixed grill and kavut saute, but the 2 with the chicken kebab complained that it was bland, but they do give good portion sizes. We were sad we didn't get to see much of the belly dancing considering we booked well in advance. Don't get seated by the desert counter bcuz you miss what they are doing on the other side.

    This was second time dining at Cazbar. My reservation was at 7:45 for 4 people. We had an additional family member join us and they were able to set the table for 5 at the last minute which was great. The atmosphere on a Saturday will always be busy and lively. Many people come to celebrate birthdays, graduations, and other life events. We were there for a pre Mother's Day Dinner. The lamb and the salmon kebabs were great as always. The chicken was a little dry this time around but still seasoned well. The service was good and the wait staff worked together if your waiter was busy at the moment. The Belly Dance Show started about 9:10 and was over by 9:35. The dancers are engaging and is the main reason the 7:30 to 9:00 time frame is so busy on Fridays and Saturdays. I recommend Cazbar and would go a third time if need be.

    If you want a muted and quiet experience, do not go to Cazbar. If you want great food, fun ambience, and excellent service, then go. It’s loud, but you can still hear each other talk. It’s richly decorated, yet tastefully done. And the food is plentiful and very good. Highly recommend.

    We ordered take out during the pandemic in restaurant week and wanted to eat in for the first time. Ambiance is great, food is great (just as during pandemic take out), and staff extremely nice. Be sure to get in early (by 7pm) as they get very busy and tables are close. My family enjoyed the moist towelettes for hand washing and music.

    Unfortunately sitting in the new area has it's drawbacks. The belly dancer came through a few times, however, it's not the same as being on the other larger side. We also had a problem with our table being sandwiched between 2 larger tables that kept having people show up and start to crowd our table. It was evident that they were not on the original reservation as they were literally sitting at our table. For the amount of money you pay for dinner, it was a disappointment to our family. We've eaten here many times before, however, it's never been this bad.

    What a fabulous experience! Everything we tried was delicious: highlights definitely include sigara borek, calamari, and chicken saute. The early dinner 3-course menu is a great value. The portions were generous, we had trouble finishing by the time we got to dessert, because, no, we could not resist the bread! Oh my gosh! The ambience is wonderful, even as the restaurant got full later in the evening it was never loud. Definitely coming back :)

    Food was delicious! We tried the sampler meal $100 for 2 people, which offered three courses of their popular dishes. We went on a Thursday evening and stayed for the belly dancing show. They recommend making reservations one hour before the show starts, which I agree with because it gets loud and dark during the show. You’re going to want to be finished with your meal before the show. Everything was flavorful. Drinks were strong, but tasty (just how I like them!). Great customer service. We will definitely return!
