I seem to have given a lot of 5 star reviews recently... but Za'atar Bake really deserves it. In fact, I'd give 6 stars if I could.
The food was genuinely amazing. We were both surprised at how different everything tasted. For example in the chicken shawarma we could taste the lemon/citrus. Serious
Everything was perfect here. The food was exceptionally delicious and the portions were quite big, the staff was super friendly and kind and the overall atmosphere was really enjoyable. Can't wait to go back!
I’m slow to the party having only just managed to eat here. The wait was worth it. The food is delicious. The menu is not overly complicated which I prefer. The baba ganoush was divine. The mint lemonade was so tasty. The fataya was perfect. The waiting staff were accommodating, friendly and prompt.
Ordered the burger and was deeply confused when this monstrosity (positive) arrived but I loved it nonetheless. The burger inside could have been a bit more tender. Love sweet potato fries on the side, but a simple side salad would be nice too. Am I being a begging chooser? Perhaps.
Excellent food, great flavour and quality. Although the customer service was friendly and helpful, the food service was a let down on this occasion. 3 people, starters came quickly, followed by 2 Makhlouba mains...whilst I waited for my Kofta ....which came a full 35mins later! In the mean time I wa

This is my new favourite place in Oxford's beautiful Cowley Road to have Middle East Food. Really awesome decorations, lively music and the service was quick, the staff already had the dough prepared and once we selected what we wanted to eat, they immediately started making our food
Thoroughly enjoyed my Lamb Shawarma 👌🏿.
Considering there are only a small handful of eateries I will give the green light in Oxford.
PS: The Baklava was fresh & so beautiful also. Nice big portions.
Some great food gems happen by accident! We walked in after a long walk in Oxford, hoping to have anything to eat as we were desperately hungry & tired!
The name Bake is deceiving, as we ended up with Maqlouba instead of baked stuff!
We were not wrong, the food was delicious & enjoyed both the meat
