Zaatar Bistro

Rating: 4/5

"ebanese food seemed right up my alley. I found this cozy place located in the shopping center. The Ambiance is really cheap and modern with a touch of the antiquity. I made an order for pickup for this time. My order included a chicken wrap and a side order of hummus. I must say the hummus was amazing! Probably one of the best hummus places I have tried in a very long time. However I was disappointed when they said they would only give me two pieces of pita bread. I received a bowl of hummus and medium sized pita breads. I would recommend that if you go for the hummus add extra pita bread or you might be a bit disappointed. I enjoy the chicken wrap which included lettuce garlic sauce in a pickle. It had a really unique flavor profile however I would have appreciated more of the garlic sauce. Overall I believe they have a really vibrant menu I would love to come back to try some of the classic Lebanese dishes."

"Prefect way to start the day- fresh authentic Lebanese food! We tried almost everything- Pistachio latte was amazing, the granpa special was a good appetizer sampler - good portion to share. Cheese and lahma bijeen manoush was on point! Definitely on my top 3 I've tasted- (Va and Abu Dhabi other 2) Service was fantastic- our server was attentive and nice, she made sure we were taken care of! Ambience was relaxing and clean, plenty of parking and there is lots of seating to eat inside and out. First time in Fresno and already on a great start!"

"My Aunt and I visited because I read a January 2025 article in the Fresno Bee that proclaimed Zaatar was the best new Fresno restaurant of 2024. I was encouraged to try Zaatar because of the positive reviews on Google and my Aunt and I love Eastern Mediterranean cuisine. Most Google reviews discussed breakfast and brunch. This makes sense since the restaurant is open daily from 8 - 3 for breakfast and brunch and Thursday - Saturday from 4:30 - 9:30 for dinner. My Aunt and I liked our drinks. I ordered a Hazy IPA (the waitress did not know the name of the brewery) and my Aunt ordered a spicy Bloody Mary. But the pita bread was bland and the Fatteh were disappointing. My Aunt ordered the Chicken Fatteh and I ordered the Steak Fatteh. My Aunt said the chicken was seasoned. My steak was not. Also, the menu said that the dish included 8 oz of steak. No way was there 8 oz of steak. The problem with both dishes is that they were like a cold yogurt soup with chickpeas. We found the dish odd and did not finish our order. But we both agreed that it would be good to return and try something for breakfast or brunch. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and located in a high-end shopping center. Highly recommend making reservations."

"I went during the week with my husband. The service and attention was above and beyond. You can tell the passion the owners have of their place. When we asked for recommendations, he was very detailed on his recommendations and the why. Since we went early in the morning on a Thursday, it was not very busy. I’d like to think that the negative comments left of inattentiveness was due to the high volume on weekends and evenings. Nonetheless, aesthetically beautiful, their caramel macchiato is the best I’ve ever had. My husband really enjoyed the pistachio latte. Pricing on most items was average. Their limited time Dubai chocolate tart was very expensive in my books $15 for a tart the size of my palm is overpriced in my opinion. Bottom line is I would highly recommend it. Great foods great ambiance, great customer service and great drinks."

"Looking from the outside, it looks like a pretty regular restaurant but once we came inside it was such a pretty spot! The interior was amazing and customer service was good very welcoming and friendly. The food was great and they have a pretty big selection. I absolutely loved my pistachio latte drink"
