Cowley cafe Za atar Bake gets five stars | thisisoxfordshire

A COWLEY Road bakery and cafe with brilliant reviews has scored a five-star hygiene rating turning it around from just two stars in 2019. Za’atar Bake on Cowley Road is an Arabic bakery and at its most recent hygiene inspection on December 3, 2020, it was awarded a rating of five (Very Good) by Oxford City Council. Previously in January 2019 the cafe was criticised by hygiene inspectors for poor staff knowledge, pizza topping temperatures and the risk to customers of making dough on plywood. However, cafe owner Mahmoud Al-Hadad believes the council acted unfairly as he had previously asked for help. He said: “I called the council and I told them I needed someone to come and give me guidance, education and training and they said they would get back to me. Two weeks down the line someone came to inspect us.”
