Tamar Mediterranean will be replacing Zao Jun

Tamar Mediterranean, a restaurant offering a variety of food from the Mediterranean region, will be opening to replace the Zao Jun restaurant that used to be in the Bloomfield Plaza Shopping Center at Maple and Telegraph Road in Bloomfield Township after the township board of trustees gave unanimous approval to its plans on Monday, February 23.

The new restaurant, which will have 182 seats at 6608 Telegraph Road, is owned by Zia Battah.

The planned hours of operation will be Mondays – Thursday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.; and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Any hours beyond 9 p.m. require approval by the township board.

Andrea Bibby, director of planning, building and ordinances for the township, told trustees that all departments and relevant township boards had no concerns for the new restaurant’s plans. The only remaining items to need approval, Bibby said, are the liquor license applications and outdoor sign review.
