    Lovely vibe especially in the night, the DJ was just playing hits after hits which made our evening particularly memorable. The portions are really generous and we were all very pleased with our dishes. Our waiter was so kind and efficient. Only complaint is that the music was too loud especially when most people were seated and just keen to converse, later when people were dancing it wasn't a problem.

    I got lost coming to this place and went to the other side of Lanark. Please put signage by the wall on 2nd street for visibility. Save for that, I thoroughly enjoyed the meals and the ambience. I had soy marinated pork chops and they were a perfect 10. My sisters also enjoyed their pasta. Got very good service from Panashe and Blessing

    The ambiance and setup is epic and very welcoming. Love the big screen area to watch football. Its tops. Staff is super friendly but the Service can be slow at times, but they do love their customers. I had the chicken burger which was good & had some sticky pork which was Devine. Looking forward to trying their Cordon Bleu chicken. Definitely a place I will frequent more often!!!

    Exceptional service, food and ambience. The place is lightly decorated with good-quality art and handicraft pieces. There is a sense of classy feeling to the place and the staff were extremely polite, welcoming and dedicated to their service. I was also pleasantly impressed that they had room temp soft drinks and served us what we selected from the menu even though we came midafternoon. We came a little early for the DJ, who they said will start at 5 pm. However, the background music we had was a little too loud so it serves as background music. There is also a modest parking lot, considering it's near the city centre.

    Their platters are small and a lack of richness in it

  • 4/5 Tamuka C. 5 years ago on Google β€’ 99 reviews
    The Portuguese marinated chicken is my favourite menu item from Chez Zandi's. I love how consistent they are with the dish from the for to the execution. The menu offers a wide selection of options from traditional to contemporary dishes, including vegetarian meals. The dessert selection is decidedly decadent, and well-complemented by the hot beverage range too. There is also a fully stocked bar for the non-tee totallers with reasonable pricing. If you are lucky, you will be served personally by Zandi herself which is always a nice touch. Great location, mature ambience and vibe.

    Such a great little find in a convenient location. Loved the ambience. Food was good. First time having cous-cous and was very impressed. Prices are fair and their menu is very diverse. You can get a good meal from 12$-$22 if I’m not mistaken. My friends loved their pork ribs(something they would recommend). Service is also ver impressive. Waiters are friendly and always smiling. Parking is a big of a snag though but the struggle is quickly forgotten once the food arrives. Lol

    Had amazing platters, the vibe is just everything. In summer the outdoor area is nice and airy and in winter they have gas heaters and an indoor area. Great place for artsy people and those who appreciate good music.

    Great service and really friendly staff. They were extra considerate during the whole covid situation by having soft copies of their menus. Best of all the garden/forest feel in the city really comes together for when friends meet up!

  • 4/5 Archie M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place with a really good vibe. All the seating is covered so pretty safe from all whether elements. Looks like theres enough parking for a good crowd. Not so happy with the lack of signage, so if it's your first time you are likely to get lost. Menu is really good, midway between affordable and expensive, definietely wouldn't put it on the super affordable front. Their DJs play great music, situation and time appropriate.

    Went on a Saturday when they had their pig on a spit. The pig was very tasty. Portions are a bit small though for the price point. I left still feeling hungry.

  • 5/5 Trishdar C. 5 years ago on Google
    I love Zandis, their chicken salad is worth everything and so far it's my favourite ever. The drinks are well priced, ambiance great and the patrons are so cool you can make new friends and have lots of fun. Suitable for a quiet night out but some nights it's dance, football and jazz Sundays
