" I brought my family to Zaaki for dinner, and while the food didn’t quite excite me, the service was excellent. The atmosphere was inviting, but I expected the flavors to be stronger based on what I had heard. My kids enjoyed their meals, though. Perhaps next visit I should try a different dish! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first experience at Zaaki, and it was overwhelmingly positive! I particularly loved the chicken shawarma rice platter—the flavors harmonized perfectly. The homemade sauces elevated the dishes. The ambiance was laid-back and friendly. The only downside was a slight wait for my order, but it was well worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Zaaki is truly one of the best food experiences I've ever had! We went there for dinner, and the dining atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I ordered the falafel plate and was pleasantly surprised by how fresh and crispy they were. The garlic sauce was the perfect companion. I also couldn't resist trying the baklava; it was a perfect end to a fabulous meal. The service was impeccable, making the whole experience wonderful. Highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful place! I visited Zaaki for lunch last week, and it surpassed my expectations. The beef kofta with rice was incredibly flavorful and filling. The staff was very helpful in picking out what to order, and I genuinely appreciated the personal touch. My only wish is that they offered a few more vegetarian options, but everything I had was of great quality. I plan to visit again for dinner sometime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for a nice spot to enjoy some Middle Eastern food and found Zaaki through online recommendations. After visiting, I can see why it's so popular! The flavors were spot-on and all fresh. I had the veggie koshari, which I thoroughly enjoyed! The ambiance is lovely; great for relax eating! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zaaki serves an authentic, wonderful selection of Egyptian cuisine. I had the pleasure of trying their koshari and the chicken shawarma, both of which made my taste buds dance. The owner Ibrahim was exceptionally personable and made sure we had everything we needed. The warmth of the staff truly enhances the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an amazing find! I decided to stop by Zaaki one evening, and it turned out to be an unforgettable food experience. The falafel is delightful, crispy, and full of flavor. The restaurant has a warm vibe that makes it comforting to try. I can't wait to return and try more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
