Restaurant Bazar

Loved the atmosphere, and wonderful terrace outside. The prices are very reasonable, especially for the quantity you get. The pitas were very good.

Update: came here for dinner and were not disappointed. The Bizar Bazar (meat) for 2 was excellent, they don't let anyone leave hungry! The chickpea beef stew was especially good.

Pros: Food quality was very nice. Persian dessert was fabulous (ab havij bastani). Crowded place which shows the popularity.

Cons: My Coca Zero was replaced with Pepsi Max and after i told them to change it to another drink, they didnt. Staff have room to improve their hospitality.

Will i go there again? Absolutely

Went here for an early dinner. Was seated promptly but then waited and waited for the server. Once we got menus it took another 10 minutes to get our order in. When we arrived they told us we had the table until 6:30pm. We barely got our food by 6:15 after being there for over an hour.

The food once it arrived was fabulous! My wife had the El Couscous meat and I had a kebab with rice. The mint tea was a refreshing addition to this meal.

Bazar is a pretty popular place in Rotterdam, located on one of the busiest streets. You’ll notice that it’s packed almost every evening, so you’d be wondering if it’s worth going there.
I’d say it depends on what you want and expect - although it says it’s a restaurant, it’s not. It’s more of a cafe with come-and-go service, with waiters clearly overloaded with work, and therefore they can’t offer you a service you’d expect in a proper restaurant.
If you’re looking for a casual place with fair prices and like middle eastern cuisine - you’ll like it here. The food is really not bad. Some dishes are very delicious and good for sharing, as portions are very generous! Just set your expectations right and enjoy 😉
