Recommended by my friends, Zawat lived up to the expectations. We were greeted at the door with a warm welcome and service was always top notch throughout the meal. The restaurant has three dinning areas -- one a non-smoking, from what I understood -- all with different contemporary décors, and one decorated with several Lebanese items. There is an outdoor area with a pool and a bar. The lobby has a display of their daily fresh produce. The food was well prepared and tasty, from the super smooth hummus, the pepper sauce (I don't recall the name), and the Harra potatoes; vegetables were crunchy and very fresh; the mint lemonade was also very good, although a bit too sweet for me.  While you wait for your food, borrow one of their checkers/chess boards and exercise your brain while you have some fun.

Worst experience had there. Poor service... Service: Poor Food availability: Poor Staff behaviour: Poor Beside treating clients with worst service, owner misbehaved with clients... really boorish people 😡😡 Worst Lebanese restaurant in Abidjan. #worstrestaurant Won't come again to this hell..

Very bad service

(Translated by Google) Bad service ... rude employee 👎 Zero star (Original) Mauvais service... employee impolie 👎 Zèro étoile

👎👎👎👎 Could have given ZERO stars rating, if possible. Worst service ever seen on this much costly restaurant. Staff and Manager are rude and impolite. Spoilt our dinner... Not recommended at all 🤬🤬🤬

(Translated by Google) Poor service.... Feeder delivered very late. Very rude personel behavior. Not recommended. 👎👎👎👎 (Original) Mauvais service.... Nourritire livrée très tard. Comportement du personeel très impoli. Non recommandé. 👎👎👎👎

I feel like home

Average quality and overpriced, they claim to take cards but then the bill comes and they only take cash.

I tried Zawat a bit early on Thursday night around 8 pm. It wasn't crowded considering it was early and a weekday. The service was quick and friendly. The food was good except for the warak enab it was too salty and was barely stuffed. The place has a pretty setting with calm lebanese music playing, I like the ambiance. The one negative thing is that some of the staff were sitting on the floor near the saj area. I would go back again.

Very pleasant experience. Chair is available for kids. Very friendly staff and owner. A must visit kinda place. Love their hot bread. Menu is little bit difficult to understand actual recipe. Picture will do more justice with bit of information on ingredients. Have only one pic. But literally their menu has wide range of variety to fullfill your cravings.

Excellent option for Lebanese food, with alcohol

(Translated by Google) I really like going there because of the time. (Original) J'aime beaucoup y allé à cause de l'heure.

Nice restaurant with good meal options. The menu has an English version so you don't need Google translate 😉 They offer local dishes in an upscale manner. Visited on a Wednesday evening and there was soft music by a band using local instruments. They were good! The restaurant doesn't open till 7pm... try not to get there earlier!

Nice food, nice company.

The Lebanese mezza was very delicious, but the "poulet à la crème" not so good, the sauce is fine but the chicken was very well cooked and hard to bite.

I think only Lebanese people can relate with the food. The menu was hard to understand, but overall great environment and ambiance. I enjoyed being there but i didn't enjoy the food.

Food is expensive than other restaurants. Quality , Quantity, Taste , Freshness nothing is impressive here except ambience. Never recommended to any one.

Good place to have a dinner or lunch. Good service, Lebanese cousins always good. Steak is not really steak.

Very good place for lunch or dinner - lot of veg options. Good Lebanese food and for people who prefer alcohol, this possibility is also available.

Nice place for friends and family gathering

Very warm welcome , the best place in abidjan in hospitality and staff professionalism, food is really tasty (Hummus could be better) , and could use a woder variety in international cuisine .

This restaurant is a very lovely restaurant with great atrium with the pool, pleasant Lebanese music, tasty food and good service. During my stay in Abidjan I was returning here multiple times and would certainly come back next time

Good service, good food and good shisha!

Nice atmosphere

Best part was the dessert 👌🏽 .. good design restaurant :)

The staff was very polite and welcoming. The food tasted good. Also the place is well decorated.

Saakan is a great restaurant with a cozier ambiance. You can eat local foods that you could hardly find somewhere else. An advice, if you go there ask for the beef tail. It's unbelivable!

Services not speed.

Lovely meal. Though it took a lot of waiting. It appears you must surface very early to make an early booking

Lovely atmosphere and fantastic food. I highly recommend the braised ox tail.

This restaurant is on my top 5 list of favorite restaurants in town. I love this place so much as well as their menu.

Top excellent food&service

Slightly overpriced fusion West African restaurant to bring your guests :) The food and drinks are decent, several creative juices, the oxtail was too salty, and the chocolate soup dessert was really disappointing. However, the fried yuca for starters were mindblowingly delicious! The venue is really nice, there is a live band playing marimba and kora, it’s covid friendly and well-managed, and there are even smaller spaces for those looking for a private, sealed-off dinner.

(Translated by Google) As usual, very good dishes. The spinach leaf sauce was a bit salty for me. The presentations of the dishes were magnificent. Friendly and helpful staff. I was hoping for a larger renewal of the card. (Original) Comme d'habitude, très bons plats. La sauce feuille épinards était un peu salée pour moi. Les présentations des plats étaient magnifiques.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful setting (Original) Très beau cadre

(Translated by Google) Great! (Original) Super!

The food was really good. I strongly recommend their pork ribs. They have staff who speak in english. They were kind enough to switch off some of the a/c units in our section of the restaurant because it was too cold. Its a bit pricey but totally worth it. I would definitely go back.

(Translated by Google) Restaurant le Saakan visited this Friday, August 28, 2020. Super chic, nice staff. The HIC, the menu specially "Braised oxtail" see the photo with the explanatory text concerning the menu (photo 1). So I choose the famous "oxtail" and I expect to treat myself with Fondante potato cimme its name suggests and one of its mushroom STEWS ... yummm The meal arrives (photo 2) ..... The big DECEPTIONNNNN. Where's the mushroom stew? 🤔🤔 2 common grilled mushrooms. The fondant potato = 3 large strips of potatoes that have been fried. Conclusion: the advertising for the menu is LIE. The card is stuffed with fireworks just to attract the customer. (Original) Restaurant le Saakan visité ce vendredi 28 aout 2020. Super chic, personnel sympa. Le HIC, le menu spécialement " Queue de boeuf braisé" voir la photo avec le texte explicative concernant le menu (photo 1).

La grosse DECEPTIONNNNN. Ou est le ragoût de champignons?🤔🤔 2 vulgaires champignons grillés. La pomme de tere fondante= 3 grosses lamelles de pommes de terres qui ont été frit. Conclusion: la publicité quant au menu est MENSONGÈRE. La carte est bourrée d'artifice juste pour attirer le client.😣😣
