    Service and vibe was good but the food was not satisfying. There was so little of it. Given the prices paid, we shouldn’t leave feeling hungry. Had to get dessert else whereas we assumed the portion sizes would be tiny like the rest of the meals. 4 Dumplings for 36$ and eggplant dish with more onion and greens than eggplant is a bit of a rip off tbh.

    Went to Za Za Ta on the 20th Oct (2024) with my partner. We had crispy tofu, crispy spiced potatoes, black lentil and shiitake dumplings and coal roasted oyster mushroom shish. Overall, our experience wasn't great based on the overall quality/serving size of the food, the price charged and the service. We felt that the food was made by some intern chef and any homemade dishes are better than all the dishes we had here. Everything is way overly charged and the serving size was extremely small.

    This is an absolute robbery. $500 for almost no food for 3 people. Staff were confused, untrained and inattentive.

    This was our first visit to Za Za Ta and absolutely loved it. The restaurant is beautiful, the ambience is great, the staff are friendly and the food is amazing!! I’m not a vegetarian but absolutely loved the vegetarian food here. I will definitely be going back.

    Usually a good vibe, great food and service. Something a little off this time. The service was not attentive, not only did it take nearly 30 mins for our cocktail to arrive (baring in mind super early booking and hardly any other sittings), it seems that we were forgotten about often. Luckily the new manager (only two weeks in) was on the ball and was trying to make up for the staff not taking orders in a timely fashion or refilling our drinks from the bottle we ordered. She was darting here there and every where. Food was average but usually amazing, felt lack lustre and the flavours didn’t really punch like you’d expect with middle eastern. Overall, disappointing and given it was a first date, this guy (me) was trying to impress…luckily it didn’t impact the first impression, but I did have to up the charisma (rizz I believe the kids are calling it) to make up for the service and food, lol.

    We have previously really enjoyed our meal and evening at ZaZaTa, and we have recommended the restaurant to friends. However, we will not be going there again, and we would not recommend the restaurant to anyone. The service was excellent until we placed our order, and then it dropped off, with service only to serve the food and clear plates. Not having a water jug on the table for ourselves to use is a huge oversight. We were all really thirsty. We had to ask for our glasses to be refilled, and we would have liked a third refilling, but couldn't catch the eye of any staff. The falafels were dry and hard, but still cold in the centre when served. The pastry on the special dumplings was dry and crunchy. The main dishes, especially the eggplant dish was so small (barely 200ml) for the price. Overall, the 4 of us were very disappointed in the meal, and the service. The restaurant was not crowded either. We would not have provided comment, except for the prompt by open table.
