Great service! our server was very attentive, pleasant and helped make our dinner experience so much batter! Shout out to Zak as I had to make a last minute change to my reservation and rather than being met with resistance he was more than open to accommodating the last minute change and was an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Being a first time visitor to Zarak our server immediately made us feel welcome and toured us around the menu to ensure we were comfortable. We ordered our shareable food & drinks which were incredible. The service was excellent and we felt cared for while dining. As this was a date night the volume of the other diners and compact space made it difficult to have a more intimate conversation but for a fun and lively night out with incredible (BBQ Chicken) this is the place. We look forward to going back and also dining at their brother restaurant.

Cumin rice was very bland, and the rice undercooked. Eggs Benny with pulled lamb had very little lamb, and the rest of the dish was filled with bland hash browns. Too pricey for the location and quality/quantity they serve.
