Had a grand time! Great food and decently priced. Try the mix mezze! Our waiter, Sunil was very nice and helpful.

The food was incredible,its the traditional arab cuisine,the staff was great especially our waiter Sunil,was very friendly and respectful. The overall experience was great and I highly recommend that you try at least once this restaurant.

What a pleasant surprise! Today I returned, after almost a year at this restaurant, at the insistence of my family, who was here a week ago. Indeed, things have changed for the better, both in terms of food and service. The lamb chops were tender and juicy and the rice had a perfect blend of spices. The hummus was smooth and went perfectly with the homemade bread. I found the kafta stuffed with mozzarella interesting and very tasty and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. And the red mullet was well marinated and cooked. In conclusion, all the dishes ordered were very tasty and served on the right plates. Congratulations to those who supply and to the cook! But the success of the lunch was not complete without the contribution of Hareesh, who served us perfectly and maintained a pleasant atmosphere. Congratulations! Overal, the experience at Al Za'atar Craiova was much more better than we have had in similar restaurants from Bucharest in the last months.

(Translated by Google) The order came after 2 hours and all the nets were wet from the spilled sauces. The salad had too much vinegar, you couldn't eat, otherwise, the food was pretty ok. The dessert was very good! (Original) Comanda a venit dupa 2 ore si toate plasele erau umede de la sosurile care s-au scurs. Salata a avut prea mult otet, nu s-a putut manca, in rest, mancarea destul de ok. Desertul a fost foarte bun!

Although a bit older than i remembered, it still has the same good food and nice atmosphere. I recommend it for a night out for dinner.

Very good food!!! This is our lunch !!! We were served today by the friendly Sunil! Is the 3rd time we eat here this month!

The place is lovely, the staff was warm and kind on all occasions and the food is DELICIOUS! They’ve got us addicted :) Hareesh 10 out of 10 for his impeccable services! The same for Maradona! It’s always a pleasure to come back and all the friends we took there were as delighted as we are :)

We celebrated here my mother's birthday and we had one of the best experiences in Craiova thanks to Sunil who took care of everything. We had the best service starting with the reservation process and ending with a great dinner and cake at the end :) Thank you so much, Sunil for making this dinner simply perfect!

We had a great evening with our cousins.the food is amazing,service is great.We ve been served by Sunil who is a great person with always smile face and very kind. Recommend restaurant 👌

Great service and very tasty food. All expectations met. Sunil was a great waiter.

The food there is flavourful and tasty. This might be our favorite place in town so far. We also enjoyed the interaction with the staff, who were very kind and patient towards our toddler, who was rather curious about the venue. Thank you Sunil!

An excellent Lebanese restaurant with a great variety of unique food. I'm a big fan of spicy food and these guys really excel at making this type of spicy meals. Regardless of what you order from them, you will get something special. It looks great and it tastes the same. The service is also very good, even though the personnel doesn't quite speak Romanian, while the place itself is very thematic. It's a place I will always recommend, especially for its cuisine!

The food was amazing. The portions are huge. Our waiter was extremely helpful, nice and was speaking English. The vibe in this place is amazing. It’s clean, which is important to me. The restaurant is well decorated and very charming. The atmosphere is so fabulous that you loose sense of time. The prices are reasonable. I highly recommend it.

The best Lebanese food I have had for a while. Absolutely delicious! Highly recommended!

Super tasty food and nice atmosphere. The waiters are very polite.

Good food and amazing service - these are the thoughts that I left the restaurant with today. It was the 1st time visiting, and we were really impressed, also a bit surprised of how empty it was around 6PM. I’d like to send special thanks to Sunil who was very polite yet friendly, I wish more hospitality staff were like him. Can’t wait to come back and try other dishes from the various menu. Cheers!🥂

♥️YouTube Channel ➡️ PisicilePlimbarete ➡️ The food was delicious, also the place is very nice and relaxing

great food

Best restaurant in Craiova. Real oriental dishes great service and nice sisha. My favorite place!

Very good restaurant, you can smoke shisha, you have good lebanese food, everything that we ate here was good looking and tasty. Nothing that you can complain about!

The best restaurant in town . Delicious food nice customer support totally recommend if you want to try Lebanese food .

Very good food and nice staff. Worth trying.

Great Lebanese traditional food. Very polite staff. The location is nice, pretty attractive, but lacks AC. Great if you wanna try out Lebanese cuisine.

Had very nice lunch at Al Za'atar! All was top rate - food, ambience, decoration and location. Special thanks to Harish for his friendly and professional service!

(Translated by Google) Very tasty food, appreciated even by 2 Tunisians. Suuuuuuper (Original) Mâncare foarte gustoasă, apreciata chiar de 2 tunisieni. Suuuuuuper

Very nice food but French fries was not fresh, we pakistani like hot food and don't like cold food but only cold drinks 😀

(Translated by Google) If you are in town and are looking for a tasty and pork-free restaurant (halal muslim kosher) this is the place. The closest to our food in the country you will find in Romania. Amazing service. Responsible Syrian and Arabic speaker like ours in the country, can be easily communicated. Great place, delicious food, great service. (Original) אם אתם בעיר ומחפשים מסעדה טעימה וללא חזיר (חלאל כשרות מוסלמית) זה המקום. הכי קרוב לאוכל שלנו בארץ שתמצאו ברומניה. שירות מדהים. האחראי סורי ומדבר ערבית כמו שלנו בארץ, ניתן לתקשר בקלות. אחלה מקום ,אוכל טעים, שירות מעולה.

Best lamb chops in town, everything was great overall. Great service too, Hareesh was always attentive to our needs. Very rare in Romania.

Amazing experience ☺️ Delicious food and great service ❤️

Great food, constant quality. Every time we go there with someone new, they are impressed by the food!

Amazing service. Sunil was awesome. Very polite and friendly. The athmosphete and the food have the best quality.

An overall lovely experience! We couldn't get enough of the Mix Mezza and the Libanese lemonade, which tasted fantastic. Loved the attention to details in terms of design, couldn't help but notice the light fixtures, the drinks menu design and even the waiters' uniform. The music also sets the mood for an immersive oriental experience. And last but not least, the waiter was really polite, patient and attentive. Will definitely eat here again.

I was looking forward to coming to this place. But when we walked in it was full of smoke. I was thinking is this a restaurant or a hookah lounge. We sat in the back and as we were eating people started coming back and smoking, we finished and Left. The waiter was Amazing and really nice. The food was good. But I felt I was walking in My grandma's house in Washington DC when she smoked Palma no filter cigarettes. If you want to leave smelling like a cigarette factory then this is the place for you. But if you don't smoke like us and don't want to have to go home and wash your clothes this might not be the place for you. There is another place that does not let people smoke inside that's really good called ottoman Turkish.

Very good food, prices are good , staff is very nice and quick, I highly recommend if you like this kind of cuisine or if you never tried it is all ne of the best.

We had dinner at the Lebanese restaurant Al Za'atar. I liked everything very much, the order was brought to everyone at the same time. The dishes are very tasty, meat dishes are especially good at them. I recommend

The restaurant was amazing, the atmosphere and also the food! Sunil was also a great host and very attentive the whole time we were there! We will definitely come back again!

The food was good, but the service was chaotic. They brought the starters and after 10 minutes the bread (which was necessary in order to eat the starter) and at the same time the main course. It was cold inside (we've been there during the winter) and there was no hot water in the bathroom. Also the light was not working so we had to use our phone's flashlight at the toilet.

Amazing food and great service. Sumil was so nice and took care of us during the visit.

Excelent food. The service was also very good. They have the best Adana Kebab i ate in Romania. The prices are not cheap but i recommend.

(Translated by Google) Horror, everything I ordered was brought in 5 minutes, imagine it was nothing hot, everything seemed to be done 2 weeks ago, with a 3 week oil. Too bad, 3 mil paid and I don't know if I could at least taste every kind of halal meal for a date with my wife and little girl. I regret all the experience, if I could I would have given zero rating. (Original) Horror, tot ce am comandat a fost adus in 5 min, va imaginati ca nu era nimic cald, totul parea facut in urma cu 2 saptamani, cu un ulei de 3 saptamani. Pacat, 3 mil platite si nu stiu daca am putut macar gusta din fiecare fel, halal masa pentru o iesire cu sotia si fetita. Regret toata experienta, daca as fi putut as fi dat zero rating.

(Translated by Google) Good atmosphere, the place looks good, everything is good until the food. We waited for food for at least an hour and still not everyone came for food (there were many at the table) and we had to tell the waiter that not all the order came. After an hour of waiting, we realized that the food is terrible (I don't understand if we ordered chicken with lemon or lemon with chicken), we all complained about the food. (Original) Atmosfera buna, localul arata bine, totul bine pana la mancare. Am asteptat dupa mancare cel putin o ora si totusi nu a venit mancarea la toti ( eram multi la masa ) si a trebuit sa ii zicem chelnerului ca nu a venit toata comanda. Dupa o ora de asteptare, am realizat ca mancarea este groaznica (nu inteleg daca am comandat pui cu lamaie sau lamaie cu pui) , toti ne-am plans de mancare.

(Translated by Google) I was disappointed with the service. A very naughty and stupid employee. Food came an hour later. I ordered two mixed trays (set for two people) and each was missing a ram package. Although it is a difficult time, the employees are not aware that we are helping their clients. (Original) Am fost dezamăgită se servire. Un angajat foarte obraznici si tupeist. Mâncare a venit după o oră . Am comandat doua platouri mixte ( platou pentru două persoane) si din fiecare a lipsit un colet de berbecut. Deși este o perioadă grea angajații nu conștientizează că noi clientii ii ajutam.

(Translated by Google) Delicious food with quality ingredients. Very good service. I recommend with all confidence. (Original) Mâncare delicioasă , cu ingrediente de calitate. Servire foarte buna. Recomand cu toata increderea.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful experience an excellent location very clean Friendly staff and the food was extraordinarily good (Original) O experiență frumoasa o locație excelenta foarte curat Personal amabil si mâncarea a fost extraordinar de buna

(Translated by Google) .... it is eaten exceptionally, in Lebanese style, I recommend! (Original) ....se mananca exceptional, in stil Libanez, recomand!

(Translated by Google) Excellent food !!!! (Original) Mâncare excelentă!!!!

Mâncarea este excelentă, atmosfera foarte relaxantă, muzica de fundal este foarte bine aleasă iar personalul foarte bine pregătit. Recomand să mergeți pe mâna ospătarului pentru că sunt atâtea bunătăți care merită încercate încât este foarte greu de ales mai ales dacă mergeți pentru prima oară acolo. Referitor la prețuri, părerea mea este că sunt acceptabile deoarece mâncarea și servirea face toți banii.

(Translated by Google) Good food, too bad for the cold atmosphere ... both literally and figuratively! (Original) Mancarea buna,pacat de atmosfera rece...si la propriu si la figurat!

Food is five stars! Ambiance, music, and temperature need some work.

The food is good, the music also, but please do something with all the kids , they scream amd run around the tables, they shut down the light to our table, it's not possible, rude parents... Everyone was annoyed about kids in the restaurant! Waiters polite and kind! 3 stars because of rude kids and parents. We want to enjoy our hanging out not the screams of your kids! Let them at home!

Very good food, nice atmosphere, great and fast service. Portions are ok

Great experience. We arrived on a holiday day, and the restaurant was completly empty. The food arrived quick and the apperatives tasted fresh. The portions were big enough. The variety of dishes is not well proportioned, just the ordinary lebanese dishes. They also serve coffee with cardamom. Later edit: Its my 4th visit after the original 5 star review and the quality decreased. Staff and food quality is much lower. My latest experience consists of ordering something on the menu marked as “fresh and natural” but got in exchange frozen ingredients.

I really enjoyed my lunch there on Saturday. The restaurant was quite empty at that time, so the service was nice and fast. I also liked that they try to create a Lebanese atmosfere with the design and their shirts. I had an Abana Kebab, some extra rice and a Lebanese salad. The food was tasty, but I really need to praise the salad, which was amazing for my taste. My fiancée had some chicken with pomegranate sauce (or something like that) and some haloumi cheese. We really liked the overall experience and we are definitely willing to come back. I'm really glad we have something like this in our city.

Halal food very tasty and deferent style good atmosphere

Amazing food! Loved it all! 💛

The food was very delicious. I highly recommend this place, the food defently worth the price. Food tastes very good, the quanity are more the enough. If you take in consideration quality and quanity, the food is cheap.

(Translated by Google) The food was delicious plus the service was very good! (Original) Mancarea a fost delicioasa plus servirea a fost foarte buna!

(Translated by Google) Super! Good food, ok service, ok location, reasonable prices. As I am not a fan of Lebanese cuisine, I am ready to return. A sensational lentil soup, grilled haloumi, as it should, the ram's chops melting in the mouth - all accompanied by an incredible pastry, a copious meal finished with a surprising catapult. Good coffee, reasonable. I'm definitely coming back, it's worth it! (Original) Super! Mâncare bună, servire ok, locație ok, prețuri rezonabile. În condițiile în care eu nu sunt un fan al bucătăriei libaneze, sunt gata să revin. O supă de linte senzațională, haloumi la grătar făcută așa cum trebuie, cotlețele de berbecuț care se topesc în gură - toate însoțite de o lipie incredibilă, masă copioasă încheiată cu un cataif surprinzător. Cafea bună, rezonabilă. Revin cu siguranță, că merită!

(Translated by Google) I ordered the kofta which was tasty but in fact does not have the vegetables in the corresponding picture on the menu. As the menu does not have a complete description of the ingredients, you expect to receive what you see in the picture ... The terrace is beautifully arranged but was full of flies around, which was quite unpleasant. (Original) Am comandat kofta care a fost gustoasa dar de fapt nu are si legumele din poza aferenta de pe meniu. Cum meniul nu are descrierea completa a ingredientelor, te astepti sa primesti ce vezi in poza... Terasa e frumos amenajata insa era plin de muste in jur, ceea ce a fost destul de neplacut.

(Translated by Google) Restaurant with terrace, very nice, clean. Prompt service and kind people. The food is delicious and you have a lot of options. The quality is easy to notice, especially because it is always full of customers, the occupation of the tables being done by reservation. We will definitely be back. (Original) Restaurant cu terasa, foarte dragut, curat. Servire prompta si oameni amabili. Mâncarea este delicioasa și ai o mulțime de optiuni. Calitatea este ușor de observat mai ales prin faptul ca este mai tot timpul plin de clienți, ocuparea meselor făcându-se prin rezervare. O sa revenim cu siguranță.

(Translated by Google) The food, the flavors, the diversity of the menu. (Original) Mancarea,aromele,diversitatea meniului..

(Translated by Google) The food is excellent and the staff friendly. Everything I ordered was absolutely delicious. I recommend the hummus with pine buds and beef ras asfour - super delicious! (Original) Mancarea este excelenta si personalul amabil. Tot ce am comandat a fost absolut delicios. Recomand Humusul cu muguri de pin si Ras asfour de vita - suuuper delicioase!

(Translated by Google) Great on the pandemic. (Original) Minunat pe pandemie.

Super! And cheap!

(Translated by Google) It is very beautiful for you and you can see that you are trying but you are trying to find a balance in seasoning the food. I know this is the essence of Lebanese food, seasoning, but add too much salt and overcook meat products. Continue to improve the menus, basically 90% of a restaurant means food. (Original) Este foarte frumos la voi si se vede ca va straduiti dar incercati sa gasiti un echilibru in condimentarea mancarurilor. Stiu ca tocmai asta este esenta mancarii libaneze, condimentarea, dar puneti prea multa sare si prajiti excesiv produsele din carne. Continuati sa imbunatatiti meniurile, in principiu 90% dintr un restaurant inseamna mancarea.

Best food in town. Great location near the biggest park in Craiova, Romanov Parc or Parcul Romanov, it offers a great selection of Lebanese food for every taste. All the food is very tasty, with classy plating. Prices are very attractive. It also has a sun terrace with outdoor tables, sided by big windows, that can be also a very good option also in the winter time. Parking outside is very easy.

(Translated by Google) I really like the food served! Clean, friendly staff! (Original) Imi place mult mancarea servita!Curat,personal amabil!
