Excellent ambiance with a gorgeous interior and really beautiful décor. The food was AMAZING. Honestly, I don’t even know where to begin—this is some of the best Turkish food I’ve had in a very long time. The bread was so good, the lentil soup was absolutely delicious, and the lahma ajeen was super tasty. For our main course, we had a mix of beef and lamb kabobs over rice, plus chicken, and everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Literally, everything was so yummy. Will definitely be coming back.

Dinner at Cazbar was phenomenal from start to finish. The atmosphere was vibrant and lively, the restaurant was packed (always a good sign) and the energy was unmatched. The food was outstanding, the lamb chops were perfectly seasoned, paired beautifully with the onion salad, rice and sauces. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying.

Dessert was just as impressive, the baklava cheesecake was fresh, flaky and not overly sweet. You can tell quality and care go into every dish.

What really elevated the night was the belly dancing show. It added such a fun, authentic touch to our girls’ night and turned dinner into a full experience rather than just a meal.

Great food, great service, great entertainment. Cazbar is definitely a place I’ll be returning to and recommending to others.

Cazbar up in Snowden, Columbia is a whole vibe. We went on a Sunday evening and the place immediately felt like a little escape. The inside is seriously nice, super upscale and luxurious without feeling stuffy. Great lighting, cool energy, and just an overall classy ambience that makes you want to sit back and enjoy the night.

The food definitely lived up to the setting. We ordered the Sultan platter for two and it was a perfect share, tons of flavor and a great mix of meats and sides. The soju pide was a standout too, warm, savory, and gone way faster than I expected. We also tried the Cocomong wrap and the Adana iskender, and both were really good. Everything came out looking great and tasted even better.

On top of that, the staff was friendly and on point the whole time. Parking was easy, which is always a win in that area. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but for the quality, the service, and the atmosphere, it makes sense. Overall, we were impressed across the board. Easy five out of five, and I am already looking forward to going back.

My girlfriend and I had an incredible experience at Cazbar. From the moment we walked in, the place felt warm, vibrant, and welcoming. The décor and atmosphere created the perfect setting for a memorable date night.

The food was outstanding. Every dish was full of flavor, fresh, and beautifully prepared. We could tell the kitchen puts a lot of care into every plate, and the portions were perfect for sharing.

The service was just as impressive. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel taken care of the entire time. Their recommendations were great, and everything came out quickly.

We both loved the music, ambience, and overall energy of the restaurant. It made the whole night feel special.

Cazbar absolutely exceeded our expectations, and we’re already talking about coming back. Highly recommend for couples looking for a great night out!

Well service was slow because we went on Valentine’s Day. Our service from our actual waitress was amazing. She was attentive and very nice. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was amazing. My boyfriend did a wonderful job picking a place for us to go on Valentine’s Day.

Cazbar delivered an incredible experience from start to finish. This elegant restaurant has a warm and inviting feel, with both family-style and single seating that makes it easy to enjoy the atmosphere whether you’re on a date or with a group. I also loved seeing the bakery section, filled with tempting treats that made it hard not to grab something for the road.

We stopped in as part of our date night and sampled the lamb chops. Perfectly seasoned and grilled, they were tender and flavorful…well worth it. Paired with well-crafted cocktails, it made for an unforgettable meal. The service was equally impressive; attentive without being intrusive, which really allowed us to relax and enjoy the evening.

The highlight of the night had to be the live belly dancer show. It brought so much energy and fun to the room, making the whole experience feel festive and unique. Between the food, drinks, atmosphere, and entertainment, Cazbar really delivered a 5-star evening. We’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu and that bakery.

We had a nice dinner date at cazbar during a weekday.
It was easy enough to find space and the ambiance was good.
The food was tasty especially the sujuk pide.
The pina colada mocktail we ordered was a bit too sweet however.

Pathetic and disgusting practice!

We made a 7:00 PM Valentine’s Day (2/14/2026) reservation at Cazbar several days in advance, expecting a well managed and thoughtful experience for a special evening. Instead, we were left standing outside in a crowded line for over an hour past our reservation time.

After waiting more than 60 minutes, we were then told it would be another 45 minutes before we might be seated. At that point, the reservation clearly meant nothing. What is the purpose of accepting reservations if you have no intention or ability to honor them?

We were not alone. There were crowds of frustrated guests who had also reserved tables and were standing around for over an hour with no clear communication, no accountability, and no effort to meaningfully resolve the situation. It felt like the restaurant was more interested in stacking reservations than actually fulfilling them.

To make matters worse, the owner and the person at the front desk were completely unhelpful. There was no apology, no attempt at service recovery, and no sense of urgency to address the obvious chaos. On one of the busiest and most important dining nights of the year, the lack of organization and customer care was astonishing.

Valentine’s Day is supposed to be special. Instead, it was a frustrating and wasted evening. We will not be returning.

I am completely disgusted by this establishment.

I am writing this review while standing outside in the cold on Valentine’s Day, still waiting for a table that was supposedly reserved. My husband and I had a 7:00 PM reservation. We arrived early at 6:45 PM and were told our table would be ready in 45 minutes—despite having a reservation.

After waiting the full 45 minutes, we were then told it would be another 45 minutes to an hour.

What is the actual purpose of a reservation if it means absolutely nothing?

This is clearly the result of overbooking and prioritizing a money grab over basic customer respect—especially on a night that is meaningful for many couples. If you cannot honor reservations, then do not take them. Period.

This was our first time here, and it will absolutely be our last. We never even made it inside, and based on this experience, I have zero interest in ever returning or recommending this place to anyone.

For anyone curious, enjoy the photos of the ever-growing crowd of people waiting outside for their “reserved” tables—because this wasn’t even the worst of it.

I am leaving one star solely because I’m required to select one in order to warn others.
