About Za'atar Bake

Za'atar Bake is a Tagvenue Partner. This business has registered with Tagvenue and agreed to our venue partner standards.

Za'atar Bake is a Middle Eastern restaurant and bakery where breads and flatbreads are baked in view of guests and served alongside traditional Lebanese dishes.

Venue highlights: The venue provides in-house catering built around a visible large oven and live kitchen so freshly baked manakish, flatbreads and slow-cooked tagines can be served during private bookings. The menu includes extensive vegan and vegetarian options and can be arranged as small-plate sharing menus or set courses for events. The ground-floor dining area opens onto a small outdoor seating terrace that extends service during warmer weather.

Best for: Private dinners and family meals; food-led tastings or cooking demonstrations centred on flatbreads and tagines; informal receptions and shared-plate gatherings.

Location: Cowley Road sits on a multicultural high street known for independent shops, cafés and a lively evening scene, providing guests easy options for pre- or post-event drinks and dining.

What guests say: The kitchen is open and visible, making live cooking part of private events. The menu delivers consistently bold, authentic flavours and the flatbreads arrive hot from the oven.
