Cazbar

Our server was Aziz who was amazing and fast in service. Food was delicious with Vegan options and happy hour discounts between 4pm-6pm. Traditional coffee feels amazing after food. Highly recommended:)

Simply Outstanding! Great atmosphere. Great food. Kind and friendly service. My guest and I chose The Sultans Platter, which consisted of mezzes (appetizers), a platter of grilled meats with rice, and desert. The mezzes were a platter of 7 different authentic Turkish dips served with warm, soft, crusty bread. They were absolutely divine. Additional bread was served upon request. The grilled meats were excellent... chicken, beef, lamb, and shrimp. The only complaint is that the shrimp were overcooked and mushy. On my next visit I will be sure to ask them to cook the meats lightly. Culturally, they cook meats well done to eliminate bacteria. So, it is my fault for not asking. But overall, i enjoyed every last bite. The baklava was ok. It should have had some crunch, but even without that extra crunch, it was a flavorful compliment to end a great meal. Go to this restaurant. You will not be disappointed.

Aziz was the best server I have ever experienced! Very friendly and knowledgeable of the Turkish culture!

“I had an amazing experience at Cazbar in Baltimore. The lamb was absolutely incredible—perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. Our server, Aziz, made the evening even better with his attentive and friendly service. He truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Between the delicious food and the outstanding hospitality, I can’t wait to come back!”

Glad we tried this great and authentic Turkish restaurant. The atmosphere is similar to a restaurant in Turkey, food was amazing. Excellent appetizers and grilled meat. We also tried the Baklava and was delicious. Very good service. Strongly recommend!!

Dinner with the two friends. One of them a vegetarian. We loved the food, the cocktails and the service. Highly recommend.

We would drive 90 minutes to go to the Columbia, MD to eat at the CazBar. When they reopened the Baltimore location it cut our visit time in half. I love this restaurant, probably my favorite. If you want food with flavor and great service I highly recommend the CazBar, either location.

Cazbar is a true hidden gem! I recently had the pleasure of enjoying lunch there. It was such a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of the courthouse area. The food, service, and ambiance were all equally outstanding. Aziz, was an exceptional server, who made me feel genuinely welcomed, as though I were a guest in his home. Unfortunately, my lunch break was short; otherwise, I could have happily stayed there for hours.

Great place! The salmon (dinner) dish was amazing and the side of rice was delicious and moist. Food and drinks delivered quickly and the service was amazing.

Cazbar was excellent from start to finish. The overall experience was outstanding, the food was delicious, and we had an amazing conversation with and received thoughtful recommendations from our server, Aziz!

Cazbar is a gem on Charles Street, and we are so fortunate they reopened! They are a small, locally owned business that offers a wonderful selection of authentic Turkish food, a casual and welcoming environment and a friendly and attentive staff. The hummus is simply the best in the world! And the pides...yummmm! Can't wait to go back!

I had the best date with my husband tonight with tasty foods, dessert and belly dancer! I love their restaurant and I will definitely be back! I recommend everyone to try this place if you like tasty foods, cocktails, tea, and great atmosphere!!!

Had a wonderful experience! The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing meal. Our waiter, Aziz, was incredibly friendly and attentive—he made sure everything was just right. Great service like his really makes a difference. Highly recommend!

First time dining here and we loved it! The food was absolutely delicious, but what really made our experience special was the service. Our server, Aziz, was so friendly and attentive. He checked on us multiple times, and truly went out of his way to make us feel welcome. Even when my daughter accidentally spilled her drink he handled it with such kindness and didn’t make us feel bad at all. It’s rare to come across that kind of genuine hospitality. We’ll definitely be coming back!

The food here is top notch. Nice environment. Romantic, maybe if thats what you are after…A little expensive, and they were a bit upselling, but I think they’re just holding on, maybe? I hope they hold on because it’s great food!

Excellent birthday dinner experience that went off without a hitch. Service was prompt, friendly, and food delicious. Menu had gluten free, dairy free accommodations. Well worth it!

Excellent food, so well seasoned! Very subtle and pulls each dish together. Blackberry Ginger mocktail also great. Plenty of veg options. Chocolate babka great dessert choice! Kudos to server Aziz!

Absolutely amazing food and deserts. We had lamb, chicken, and beef, along with all of the Mezzes. It was perfectly cooked! Aziz's service was wonderful and he was extremely attentive. We will be back again!

I haven’t even dined here (YET) but 5 stars for Aziz! One of my close friends has been wanting to try the viral Dubai chocolate bar and I went online searching for a place in the Baltimore area that has it. I found the most obscure Reddit post pointing me in the direction of Cazbar, and when I stopped in, I asked for the large bar which was $20. I mentioned that it was a gift and Aziz asked if the person I was buying it for had tried it before. When I said no, he said “ask much as I would like to make a bigger sale, maybe you should get the smaller one which is $7 and then you can come back if they like it.” It may have seemed like a small thing to him but to me, that meant so much. I’ve worked in the hospitality industry for 14 years now and people like that are hard to come by. I ended up getting 2 of the small bars with the promise that I would absolutely be back to dine and catch a belly-dancing show. Whether she likes the chocolate or not, I’m really glad I stumbled upon Cazbar. Shoutout to you Aziz!

Aziz was who helped us out tonight as our family went here for dinner. Food was 100/10. Thank you Aziz! Id suggest the hummus platter- a must have!! The best Turkish food I’ve ever had. Lamb was also delicious and flavorful. I’d recommend this place to everyone looking for a great dinner.

The food was delicious. Went during lunch and I enjoyed everything! The chicken Sauté was 10/10 The Lamb chops 10/10 We ordered and side of grilled vegetables 9/10- this was over priced for the portion. But nonetheless we enjoyed it. Will definitely be returning with friends.

Service by Aziz was friendly and professional. The food is the best middle eastern/Mediterranean cuisine anywhere in the metro area. It’s fresh and authentic. Chicken kabob is marinated and grilled to tender perfection. Cheese boreks of phyllo wrapped around tangy cheese are addictive. And the big salad with walnuts on top is a hidden gem. We love this place and go every chance we have. They also deliver!

Cazbar is a fantastic spot for authentic and delicious Turkish food. The flavors are always on point, and everything tastes fresh and well prepared. They also have great lunch specials and happy hour deals, which makes it an excellent place to enjoy Turkish cuisine at a great value. Aziz is a great server and host. He is always welcoming, professional, and makes sure everything runs perfectly. His attention to detail and warm attitude truly enhance the dining experience. Highly recommend Cazbar if you’re looking for great food, a lively atmosphere, and exceptional service!

It is gorgeous beautifully decorated oasis in the city. A balance of casual and classy. The food is fantastic. Aziz is a welcoming fantastic host and server. I love the chicken, salads, bread and soups. Interesting seasonings and sauces. Healthy and fresh. The kitchen is genius. They have a wide selection of interesting teas and beverages. Lunch is the best deal with great platters to try. The have lunch deals on the weekends as well. Delicious desserts. The only place for Dubai chocholate!

The workplace decided to have a Farewell lunch at the Cazbar in Baltimore. There was 18 employees that attended. We were greeted and taken care of by Aziz. He was the perfect host. We didn't wait long for our food and were all able to eat at the same time. The atmosphere was amazing and the food was terrific. I highly recommend this location for work functions, as it worked out perfectly for us. Thank you very much Aziz.

We had a wonderful meal here on Friday night before seeing a show at the Hippodrome. Portions are very generous, food was delicious- incredibly flavorful- and prices were very reasonable, especially during happy hour. We had such a fast and friendly waiter. Will definitely come back.

Had a wonderful meal at Cazbar a few weeks ago. Ariz was fantastic and took great care of us. The food is authentic, delicious, and reasonably priced. Disappointed in the city for making parking such a challenge but the food and atmosphere is totally worth a short walk! Their happy hour specials are incredible. I can't recommend this place enough and look forward to our next visit!

The Baltimore food scene continues to impress. Awesome Turkish spot. Some items are a touch pricey but not egregiously so. Service was good and they clearly take pride in their work. Definitely would recommend to anyone.

Is the Gems 💎 in Baltimore! My friend Sasha recommended me this amazing restaurant! Absolutely amazing food, the atmosphere and the server (I don’t remember his name) is very kind. 100% recommend! Please visit this Gems 💎 Restaurant in Charles St! I back to my little son (7years old) and with my self. This place is wonderful, the desert is extremely espectacular! Please visit this location! Thanks so much for the great customer service and love service!

Cazbar makes for a perfect night out, whether you’re with your partner or a group of friends. Nestled in the heart of Baltimore, this hidden gem captures the essence of the Mediterranean with its dim lighting, rustic décor, and cozy atmosphere. On Fridays and Saturdays, the restaurant truly comes alive with lively belly dancing performances—an entertaining complement to an already vibrant dining experience. We ordered the Mixed Platter for Two, which came with a generous assortment of hummus dips and a flavorful mix of lamb, beef, chicken, and salmon. Each dish was perfectly seasoned and paired beautifully with rice. To finish, the baklava was the perfect sweet touch—flaky, nutty, and delicious. The service was attentive and efficient throughout the evening, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. While parking can be a bit tricky, it’s a small tradeoff for such a great meal and atmosphere. Overall: A must-visit spot in Baltimore for anyone craving authentic Mediterranean cuisine, warm service, and a lively ambiance.

For a ladies' Nite out, this was a great choice. The Party of 5 really enjoyed the food and the ombiance. Not only was the food good, the presentation was nice as well. Everyone tried something different, no complaints. My dish was a chef special the " Lamb Moussaka". This was wonderful! The only thing they didn't have was Drinks at this location it was BYOB, which I didn't know till I arrived, good thing there was a liquor store about a block down if you need 😊. And no belly dancers at this time, but they will have that again soon. So if you are in the area, try them out!!

Went here with my husband's daughter and her Turkish fiancé. I let them do the ordering and just sampled each one. I forgot the names of the food we got but they were pretty good! We all thought the Cig Kofte being a bit too spicy though. I was so full but didn't feel bad unlike when I eat the usual greasy restaurant food. Very refreshing lunch. Im glad to have tried something new in the area.

Went with friends for a celebratory dinner. The place is beautiful, but extremely cramped. Tables and chairs packed with barely inches to spare. The service was... unpredictable. We had 3 different servers, only one of which knew what they were about, and once we received our entrees we didn't see anyone again for almost 30 minutes (so no cocktail refills). The food was excellent, however, and I've got no real complaints on that front. The baba ghanoush & hummus were delicious, the bread was fresh and crispy. The meats, from the lamb to the chicken and kofte, were fresh, tender, and perfectly cooked. The desserts were also very good, tho I can't really recommend the "baklava cheesecake"; the texture was awful. The baklava itself was great, tho, definitely on par with the best I've ever had. So yeah, I recommend it. Just be prepared for a crowded space and cocktails that are tasty but not particularly strong. Didn't see the belly dancers... so no opinion could be formed.

Food was good. It is on the pricer side. I wish I had more protein on my plate. I really like the nonalcoholic drinks they have.

The food is very good. I only give for stars when I find the food will prepared and tasty. Service was also very good. The atmosphere was a bit quiet but it was late relative to Baltimore dining. Overall, a very recommendable place.

I recently visited Cazbar in Baltimore and tried their shish kebab. While the dish had potential, I found the quality of the meat to be just okay, and it was a bit on the dry side. In comparison to other places, the price seemed quite high, almost double in some cases. At $30, I expected a bit more in terms of flavor and tenderness. If the pricing were more in line with the quality, I'd consider giving it a higher rating, possibly four stars. Overall, it's a decent option, but the value could be improved."

I came in with high expectations, but unfortunately the food didn’t deliver. I followed the waiter’s recommendation and ordered the doner/gyro and Adana, but it didn’t look like the pictures and didn’t taste fresh. The Adana kebap was overcooked and slightly burnt. I couldn’t even finish half my plate. Sadly, I won’t be returning.

Came here on a Friday night and the place was pretty empty. They did have a belly dancer but vibe is not the same without the proper audience. We ordered the feast for 2 and the appetizer was great, however, our meat platter was pretty disappointing. All meats were overcooked, very dry and tough to chew. We had a couple pieces but ended up having to throw the left overs away because it was inedible. The rice was probably the best thing on the platter.

I had high expectations because of the reviews and expensive prices. This place disappointed me to say the least. Prices are way too expensive for this mediocre food. I’m sorry I have to be honest. The Dubai choclate bar fell apart as soon as I opened it(right after receiving it) and did not taste that good compared to others I’ve had. It had too much pistachio past and not enough kitafi, and choclate was too ritch. I also got the Adana Iskender, the meat was okay. Nothing special. The peta bread was so soggy and wet from the meat being on-top it tasted so gross and I couldn’t even finish it. I’m very disappointed. This was my first and probably last time trying. Attached picture of my soggy peta bread🤢 prices are WAY too high for the food that isn’t all that.

The restaurant is not a luxury establishment, so the extremely high prices and additional charges were completely unreasonable. We brought our own cake, yet we were charged $25 just for eating it on-site. On top of that, we were billed an additional fee of almost $70, and the staff still expected a tip. If we were already charged for serving our own cake, why was there another service fee on top of it? We randomly visited this restaurant without knowing how poorly it was managed. The entire experience felt unfair and disappointing. I will not be returning, nor will I recommend this place to anyone. If you want to spend over $100 on a meal that should cost around $20, this is where you will end up.
