We enjoyed a jerk chicken wrap, prawn bake pasta, plantains, and salmon cakes, all of which were incredibly delicious. The service was excellent, although we did have to pay for drinks that were not given to us, resulting in one less star.

It was rumored to be the chef's grandmother's recipe. Despite being there for a meeting, we couldn't resist the delicious chowder and would return just for that. Unfortunately, one day we drove by to find that the restaurant had permanently closed. Looking back, we realized how special that place was. This is why I am sharing my experience at ZaZ restaurant, another special place that shouldn't be missed. The chef is truly an artist, creating incredible Caribbean Latin Asian fusion dishes that are beyond amazing. The food is clearly made with love and care. The service staff is friendly and professional, making the experience even more enjoyable. Supporting this restaurant will ensure that they continue to provide great dishes in Hyde Park for years to come. Don't miss out on trying the Jerk Salmon Hush Puppies and the Thai Basil Rice - you can thank me later!

The decor consists of plain gray walls and tall round tables with dirty nylon tablecloths. It seems like they may be due for a renovation. The service was average. Despite my friend's specific request for a burger without cheese due to a dairy allergy, the burger still came out with cheese on it, causing us to wait for a new one. We were surprised that they didn't offer to comp the burger. Overall, it seems like they can cook well, but may lack experience in managing a restaurant.

Everyone raved not only about the taste of the food but the presentation. Thank you Camelia for adjusting my ordered when asked if I ordered too much and thank you chef for reaching out personally. Would highly recommend Zaz to anyone looking for a caterer at their next gathering.

When I called to inquire where the food was, I was informed the driver would be 50 mins late (more like over an hour) with no excuse as to why. Thankfully we had other food to serve, but disappointing because the couple requested ZAZ because it was blacked owned. The food was tasty after it was warmed up (that's why I gave 3 stars), but the service and/or lack there of was disappointing.
