The food is very good. The only disappointment is the falafel - very dry and not much flavor. Everything else I have had is terrific. The pides are great as are the sandwiches and salads. Yummy fries,too. You can make a meal of all the appetizer (mezze) offerings. The Turkish decor is lovely. The only drawback is the time it... More

Close to Inner Harbor, yet not the tourist feel, makes this reasonably priced Turkish restaurant an ace in my deck. The restaurant is small and colorful. The aromas from the kitchen tell of great spices to come. The menu is large and provides great choices for mezes (small plates) or a regular entrée. The traditional middle-east tastes are here, but... More

Had the lunch special today. Lentil soup, delicious warm bread with an eggplant yogurt spread and a stuffed eggplant entree. Very friendly and helpful waitress. I wlook forward to my next visit.

Ate here on a recent business trip to Baltimore. I am not expert or even knowledgeable about Turkish food, so I went with the waiters recommendation, I was not disappointed. The food was excellent, and despite other reviews to the contrary, I did not find the prices unpalatable! I did notice a few things on the menu that could put... More

I've been to Cazbar several times and have ordered many different dishes, all of which were better-than-your-average Middle Eastern fare! It's a bit on the expensive side... two of us never seem to get out of the restaurant for under $100. But it's consistently good fare.

Went with foodie friends all for the first time on a Friday night, the men ordered the Sultan Feast and the women ordered off the menu, the Sultan Feast was excellent, the appetizer was a selection of 4 dips with very good bread, we had two bottles of a moderately priced dry red wine (sorry I cannot remember the name),...

It's not bad place for casual dining, but prices are leaning towards fine dining. Therefore, you do not feel satisfied at the end. Service was very good. Do not expect to see any achievements in designing - everything is very simple.

The atmosphere is slightly dressy, the staff are fabulous (Reed was my server), the food was scrumptious, and the belly dancing superb. While parking near the restaurant is a hassle, it was definitely worth the trouble. I can't wait to go back!

We find ourselves going back to Cazbar and recommending it to our friends. Once again, the food was good as well as the service. I do think that Jamie, our server, was a bit pushy and in my opinion, tried to rush us. We were there with a friend that I haven't seen in 30 years and Jamie repeatedly interupted... More

Turkish food you will love, the appetizer sampler was the best and there was so much we took some home. Try the turkish beer too. For an evening with entertainment call to find out when the bellydancers are dancing. You will need reservations!
