We went there with some of our friends. The place was crowded and she was working all alone. It took a long time for us to get our food. She added extra to our order without me asking for it. The fish was very old and tasteless. The filet mignon was very tough, which after only one bite we couldn't eat it. The owner is very rude. When my friend told her that the filet mignon was very tough to it, instead of fixing the issue, she said next time do not come back to her restaurant. The other food was bland and dry. We definitely will not return and do not recommend this place.

This is an excellent multicuisine restaurant where you can easily find traditional favorites and also discover new dishes, soups, and teas. I'm eager to sample the variety of options—the knowledgeable staff thoroughly explain the extensive menu choices. I'm definitely a lifelong fan from now on!

What a gem!! We took our grandmothers here for a Valentine’s Day tea party and it was absolutely lovely. The spread was beautiful, abundant, and delicious; the ambiance was peaceful and whimsical, and the service was welcoming and attentive. She was even able to accommodate for gluten free and vegan with plenty of items to enjoy. Can’t wait to come back!! 🩷💕

This is the third time we’ve visited with my husband and our two kids (11 and 6 years old), and it’s always an amazing experience. The food is fresh and absolutely delicious. They offer a kids’ menu, and my children love the meatballs with rice. The eggplant and the mantu are my personal favorites. The atmosphere is very welcoming and family-friendly.

This is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants I’ve tried in the area. A cozy place with authentic Middle Eastern flavors. My favorite dish was Mahicha Pilaw (Lamb Shank) with their amazing Qaubilli rice. Also their chicken tikka & Lamb kebab was super delicious 😋 The owner was serving the food in person, she was very nice, kind, very welcoming and attentive. The music was very relaxing. What really captured my eyes was the water fountain in the middle, that gives the restaurant a very relaxing atmosphere.⛲️ The food was very generous portifor, also the prices was very affordable. Great place for sharing family style meals. I’ll definitely come back. Highly recommended MAZADAR Restaurant. 🩷👍

Mazadar Restaurant is a really good spot for flavorful Middle Eastern food! The dishes are fresh and tasty, and there’s a lot of variety to choose from. The vibe is casual and comfortable, and the staff is friendly, though it got a little busy when I went. Overall, a solid place for a nice meal, and I’d definitely come back to try more of the menu.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated, but unfortunately that’s the only positive thing I can say about it—hence the 2-star rating, entirely for the interior design. We went for lunch and left very disappointed. Although our server was new and genuinely tried her best, the owner/chef showed a real lack of customer service.
We ordered hummus and an eggplant dip as appetizers. I asked if a little olive oil could be added on top of the hummus, since that’s how I prefer it. A few minutes later, the owner came out to tell me that she would not add olive oil because it wasn’t part of her hummus recipe. She even refused to bring olive oil on the side, simply because she didn’t like it served that way. I didn’t see the issue, but I let it go.
The food itself was bland, though we didn’t complain. I had read in a review that the baklava was amazing, so I decided to try it—but it was dry, and the saffron ice cream on top was frozen solid with ice crystals. Overall, it was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had.
To top it off, they added an 18% service charge to the bill for just two people. It felt like they assumed we wouldn’t leave a tip because we were clearly unhappy. It’s a shame!!!
