Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in East Baltimore

Our visit to Cazbar in Columbia was absolutely fantastic! The food was a true highlight — we enjoyed perfectly seasoned fries, tender lamb, flavorful doner kebab, and a delicious mezze platter. To top it all off, the Snickers cake was an indulgent treat that we’ll be dreaming about for a long time. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. Our kids had a great time, which made the experience even more enjoyable for us. We’ll definitely return again and again — Cazbar is now a family favorite! Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Turkish cuisine with an exceptional dining experience.

I wanted to try Cazbar for a long time, but then during Covid, sadly, it closed. I was thrilled to see the restaurant had reopened, and I wasn’t disappointed in the very least. The food, the service ambience were all excellent. The belly dancer couldn’t have been more lovely and very entertaining. What a delight!

The food was delicious and reminded me of a wonderful taste from visiting the Middle East! The staff were very courteous and the ambiance was perfect for celebrating my wife’s birthday! Thank you! We can’t wait to come again!

Good food, pricey, service ok but probably understaffed

As always, everything was great from beginning to end. I feel some of the portions could have been a bit more since we were a table of 5 but that's how they get you to order 2 of things and not just one. The staff were attentive and great as usual. We had a little snafu with one of our after lunch teas being cold but it was remedied very quickly. Of course we'll be returning in the future. Everything on the menu must be tried!
