    This was my first time at Zahir‘s. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our delicious and tasty meals. We had the special salmon stuffed with crab, best I’ve ever had! We were there on a Tuesday night so it was very nice and quiet. I really enjoyed my pineapple martini as well! I highly recommend this for a high-end night out.

    Excellent service and ambiance, but the food simply lacked taste.... It was barely spiced at all, and felt very bland to all of us.

    Very poor service. We spent 2 and a half hours total there because we spent a lot of time waiting for service. The waiter also forgot to place our order so we had to wait for even more time. A different waitress came to check up on us. Very unorganized.

    This place really surprised me. Don’t judge a book by its cover... The bad - The place looks weird, the menu looks weird. There is no theme. Examples? Weird light show on the walls, Asian theme with white tablecloths, random things on the menu, says it’s a bistro but has little to no true French or Italian food, “happy hour” menu is literally just a couple normal items you would find on any menu with no discount. The good - solid drinks, solid food, solid service. It looks like it shouldn’t work, but they do each of these things really well. Still somewhat confused, but a solid choice in a town with few.

    The food was ok. NE Clam chowder lacked flavor I ordered an entree without bell peppers. It arrived w bell peppers. There was a large group that was extremely loud. Their service was very good

    We've been going here for over five years. We had my wife's birthday party here and Zahir was ale to accommodate us with a private room. We love the food and especially the prime rib.

    I've had dinner here a few times and it's generally been good enough to return. It's a good place to go for a last minute dinner. As there is rarely enough people here to warrant reservations and can be seated immediately. Wanted to meet a friend for dinner and I chose this place for the above reasons. But just to be safe, I made reservations, as you never know. We arrive and things look much busier than normal. I'm thinking, I'm glad I made reservations. Finally the host comes around, I tell him I have reservations. He proceeds to tell me they are having a private party and I should have been contacted to have my reservations canceled. Well, I wasn't. He says sorry and that was it. Really? You guys mess up and derail my evening, and all you can say is sorry. This will be the last time I go here and I will make sure everyone else I know knows how this place makes up for THEIR mistakes.
