    The outstanding part for me as a vegan was the food - quality and choices - having so many options for the meal was a new experience. Every dish we ordered was spectacular in taste, texture and presentation. The next impressive part was our waiter- very attentive and friendly, and when the restaurant became less busy later in the night, he was happy to have a quick chat when we asked about his accent - from Netherlands - a point of interest for my colleague who was from South Africa. The ambience and decor was also very impressive, making us curious to explore all aspects of the restaurant.

    Based on all of my other experiences here, I’d give a five stars. We only had a couple of minor things to give feedback for. The bread has changed since we were here last, before it was amazing and now it’s average. There was chilli on every dish we ordered. As someone who can’t handle spice, it would have been great to have been told when ordering.

    I have been before and was happy with the experience but this time was a complete let down. We placed our order soon after arriving and after 30 minutes the waitress returned to confirm our order. Which means they had not even started on it. They insisted that either all the people on the table order the banquet or don’t bother at all. Just go ala carte if all parties don’t order banquet, not sure if that is standard practice. The mains arrived after much delay and the portions seemed not really for share. Flavour wise I have had better food. We couldn’t be bothered to order more as that would have meant another hour long wait. We paid, left and finished our meal at Grilld. Underwhelmed and disappointed. Unlikely to go back.

    Pleasantly surprised at Za Za Ta. Great food and service. We are vegetarian and have tried many veg restaurants - this one is up in the top three. Busy Friday night so a little noisy but the great service made up for it.

    The food was delicious but the whole dining experience felt rushed! We ordered the Taste of Zazata with wine pairing and each course came out in quick succession. I did not receive the wine that went with the desert. The waitress did offer to get it but we were already finished, table was cleared and we were leaving. We were in and out of the restaurant in just over one hour. The dinner was a birthday celebration, there was no acknowledgement of the event or a well wish from the staff. Overall food was delicious but I would not recommend to family and friends. And Zazata is not on our top list of places to revisit.

    I would rate Za Za Ta 4.25 our of 5. It was really amazing. The things that let it down were the wait between first and second course and the as the meals were quite small for the price as was the $23 cocktails which were the size of a large shot glass. We received a complimentary tasting plate for the delays. The service was amazing and we will definitely be back.

    We are regulars at ZA ZA TA, With a family of all vegetarians and vegans this is the best place to go for celebrations or a dinner out with options that please everyone, even meat eaters would not be disappointed. The food is beautifully prepared and presented and tastes even better! Staff are always friendly and welcoming, we love coming here!

    I have previously dined at Zazata many times and have always had impeccable service, delicious food and tasty drinks. Unfortunately, there seems to be a change in staffing/management perhaps, as my last two experiences have been majorly below par. The first bad experience was on Valentine’s day. The deal was a Set menu with a welcoming drink. Each course was over an hours wait, serving sizes were incredibly small, cocktail was practically straight alcohol, staff didn’t ask if we wanted a drink, no apologies from staff, missing desserts etc. We then decided to give Zazata another chance as all Valentine’s day tables were offered 30% off their next visit as an apology. Unfortunately we had a very similar experience- incredibly long weight times, no drink top ups, no apology, staff walking aimlessly around etc. This is extremely disappointing as I have had such fond memories at this establishment in the past.

    Love this place. Came back tonight for our fourth dinner. Never disappoints- especially the vegan menu. Tonight we tried the Al La Cart menu for the first time with 6 meals we chose to share between us. Exceptionally well presented and tasty meals. Staff offer excellent service, with great attention to detail, friendly and knowledgeable. Can’t wait to come back.

    We were seated and asked for drinks. Our waiter was nice but forgot to bring half the drinks and then we waited an hour before any food arrived, even though we had pre ordered the banquet in our booking and confirmed it upon arriving. It was really embarrassing since we had invited our friends along and spoken highly of our past visits. The food was delicious, big thanks to the chef's but unfortunately we won't be returning.

    We had an absolutely amazing experience at Za Za Ta, trying multiple plates from their vegan menu. My husband is not a vegan and he said "I'd go vegan if I can eat food like this all the time". Everything was delicious, and we love the vibe.

    Imaginative, deliciously prepared, fresh and tasty vegetarian dishes. Mouthwatering Middle eastern mezze out of the usual box- not your usual hummus or babah ganoush. Twists and surprises made to these dishes define the chef’s ability to produce outstanding food. Vegetarians can eat their heart out.

    It took 1 hour 10 before our 1st dish arrived. Unfortunately at that time all the dishes came at once. 2 of the dishes were cold. A dish of beetroot kibbeh was really just a dip shaped like a kibbeh and was so full of garlic it was unpleasant. All other sushi, despite being cold were delicious.

    Everything was very good but I would have liked to have more variety without having to opt for the rather large Taste of Za Za Ta degustation. Maybe a smaller serves degustation menu for around $65 would be a good option. Most people who like vegan/vegetarian food have a social conscience so do not like to waste food. With a degustation with smaller portions we could eat everything without being overfull. Just a thought.
