    The food is amazing. My favorites are eggplant dip and buttermilk fired chicken. The tea infused cocktails are very unique too, worth trying. Service is great, staff are all very friendly.

    We have dined at Zarak three times and they never cease to create an exceptional experience. It’s clear that the staff and owners care deeply about the cuisine and love to share it with others. They are attentive, fun, and looking to make your time with them special. The food is consistently delicious - some favourites are the fried chicken, slow cooked lamb, and Mum’s Secret tres leches cake as well as the clarified margarita and Xi Fei cocktails. I could eat here every day and be thrilled.

    Innovative menu with interesting tweaks on classic dishes and delicious seasonings. Coffee was delicious. Service was excellent. My only frustration with the ambience was the noise level. It was hard to talk at our table because of the background noise. The non alcoholic drink combinations were excellent. We will return.
