    Food quality and quantity is good. Service is fast and the staff is welcoming as well. Location is nice being at Connaught place. Ambience of the place is a bit dull and feels old. Dishes are available in a vast variety of price range.

    The place has an old world charm about it. I could compare it with the Peter cats and Mocambos of Calcutta. However, the food although good is a bit overpriced. But I guess, given that in it is located in Connaught Place, it is bound to be, like every other restaurant there. The place does have an expansive menu and food tastes good.

    This restaurant is known for great oriental food. However I landed up here on an afternoon to meet a friend over a beer. There are offers on select brands that runs from time to time. We decided to sit on the 1st floor that works out like a balcony and provides a great view of the restaurant. The service was fast, the food decent and the price within means

    Ambience is not so good as mentioned by many. Just eat and go types. Shiitake fried rice was good. Good amount of shrimps, mushrooms and egg. Teppanyaki was not good not worthwhile So, 3 stars.

    Ordered food from here for the first time. Definitely liked the taste. Chilli paneer was quite flavourful, and fried rice just as spicy as I like them. Packaging was also really nice. Would love to try other dishes too from here soon.

    A delightful dining experience at Zen: Delicious food, good service, and a warm ambiance. Highly recommended for a satisfying meal. Especially for those rice noodles, they are the best in town. I am really sorry for this half eaten food picture but couldn't wait for another second once it was served, the smell was so tempting.

    I visited this restaurant after almost a decade and tried the same dish. The first was christmas of 2013 or 2014 (don't really remember). And I ordered burnt onion garlic fried rice and it was so yum. So yesterday, I visited this place again, and ordered it again. Along with Pad Thai Noodles and some Chinese veggies I don't remember the name. Along with this, I had Sunset Cooler and Easy Rider in the drinks. It was a wonderful experience. The staff from the waiters to manager was helpful, polite and easily approachable. The interior is beautiful, with soothing warm yellow light, soft light music, nothing harsh. I would love to visit there again.

    Visited this place for dinner. Absolutely loved it. It is the most authentic Asian food I have had in Delhi. We had the following items: Fuekchu noodles Cottage cheese ten pal style Sunset cooler (cranberry with orange and ginger ale) These 3 items cost a little over 1400 total so a bit on the expensive side but it was worth it. The service was good and quick. The ambience was also pleasing.

  • 5/5 Priyadarshi D. 10 months ago on Google • 96 reviews
    The two storey restaurant is spacious with an aesthetic decor. While they serve various types of cuisine, we opted for Chinese. We ordered chicken skewers in Thai sauce for starters. In main course we had chicken hakka noodles and a lamb dish called Royal Marriage which had generous portions of mushroom and bamboo shoot along with lamb. Taste wise all of them were top notch. The chicken skewers had a unique blend of smoky kebab type flavour along with the distinct peanut flavour of the sauce. The noodles were thin and of high quality. The lamb was very tender and flavourful. It went very well with the noodles. Price is in line with what one would expect in a place like this situated in heart of Delhi.

    I was truly enchanted by the dining experience at the Zen. The flavors and presentation of each dish were a testament to culinary excellence. The ambiance, with its timeless charm, transports patrons to a world of elegance and sophistication.

    This restaurant serves perhaps, one of the best Chinese/Tibetan/Thai food I've ever come across. Additionally, some fine precautions were taken over my 2 visits - including, sanitisation of footwear, hands, masks check that too even before I entered and waited to be seated on carefully spaced tables. I personally enjoyed Chicken Steamed Dumplings and couldn't resist reordering twice on the next visit. Amidst relatively hygienic ambience, I am sure to visit it again with friends and family.

  • 3/5 Sanjana G. 1 year ago on Google
    Hi, I visited Zen Restaurant recently. This is located in Connaught Place. It is high end place and in my opinion a bit costly. The food was good, but not worth the money. Most of the dishes are non veg, so go accordingly. The staff is helpful but a bit made me uncomfortable. The interiors are extremely beautiful and there is seating on two floors. As you sit there you might feel like a food place of the olden times, that has lost a bit of its fame. The food is good, so you can try if you are willing to spend a bit more money. For two: Rs 3500 P.S Noodles were the cheapest thing we could find lol!

    Went there on our recent trip to Delhi when kids were craving for some nice chinese food. Place is average, with decent enough variety in menu. Dishes were well prepared, and delectable. Starters were good and criapy. Soup and chinese chopsuey was really good. Not very happy with the service as it was very slow. First few items came very fast but after that it was a long long wait inspite of very few guests in the restaurant. Later when the food came we ordered soft drink with a very clear and specific request to only bring it if its super chilled. Still the waiter served it just little colder than room temperature calling it as chilled and adament to add ice cubes if we wanted colder. Even after acknowledging that its not chilled per our request they kept on insisting to add ice cubes. We didnt drink it finally and left it untouched but they shamelessly and unapologetically added it to the bill. Will not return or recommend this restaurant.

    After COVID, İ Went 1st time to this place for lunch with my friend. We use to enjoy food food & atmosphere of this place, but now the experience was unexpected as the food quality downgraded so badly and the attitude of the service staff is like they don't care. I think because the place serve drinks they are least bothered about their service & food. Well, I am not the person who is paying high, only for atmosphere and beer, as İ believe food & service will win my ❤️. So everyone choose accordingly.

    Oldest yet Modern !! I have been visiting here since my childhood and now I am having kids 😉. Whenever I visit Rajiv chowk (Connaught place) I used to have at least one meal at Zen. I like their vegetable pepper and salt, and they are amazing with their Non Veg Starters, though I am a Vegetarian still I am telling you to try their Non Veg meal once. As my many non veg lovers friends, mostly came here for tangdis 🍗. Service is always prompt. Ambience is good and it's getting Wow if you gt upper floor seating. And that's my Favourite. Completely family oriented and couples friendly atmosphere. Cocktail 🍸 Mocktails 🍹 are perk here. Easily Reachable. Nearest metro: Rajiv chowk metro station GATE NO. 2

    It was good. Staffs were not very helpful with the menu selection. Food was okay...... Taste similar to street foods and price is okay. Sushi 🍣 was kind a new to me... So can't judge for that.... Good ambience and interior. Nice comfortable sitting arrangements, lots of options in menu but some are not available.

The dedication, attentiveness, and professionalism of the staff, coupled with the outstanding quality of the food, create a dining experience that is truly memorable. I highly recommend Zen to anyone seeking not just a meal, but an exceptional culinary journey with unparalleled service.

    I visited Zen restaurant with my friends to relive special moments that we shared 5 years ago. It is still such an amazing place, comfortable and chic ambience, polite behaviour of staff, delicious food. All the staff and place is well sanitized with waiters wearing disposable gloves and face shield. Proper shoes and hands sanitized at the entrance with temperature check also. Had a wonderful time!

  • 4/5 • Pastel Dreams �. 3 years ago on Google
    Wonderful ambience, hadJapanese cuisine. Rainbow sushi was awesome! Also had miso soup with seaweed and tofu, and fillet of salmon with terriyaki sauce... Soup was good, but one needs to develop a taste for it. Terriyaki sauce could have been more better, it was jelly like. Overall great food!

    Loved it! Tried Japanese cuisine for the first time here. The food tastes super awesome and the ambience is good too. Found it a great place to have lunch with friends and family. Fun fact: the spiral staircase serves as a perfect spot for pictures. :)

    One of the most authentic Asian place in CP, really liked the food. Didn't have much options as I was with my vegetarian friend 🥲, but we ordered veg sushi platter, and pan fried noodles, and it was better than our expectations.

  • 5/5 RAJESH P. 2 years ago on Google
    It is good restaurant. But after displaying 50% discount on drinks they didn't gave me discount even after pointing out. I ordered vodka with tonic water n fish.

    Welcome to Connaught Place. A good Indian-Chinese restaurant and bar. You will find a great dine experience here. The place is good for some business meetings as well. You will get good taste and sometimes great taste. The menu is regular but taste is special.

  • 4/5 Pranjal 2 years ago on Google
    It's so great! I love eating Japanese food and this is best place for that. It has all the authentic delicious dishes i wanted to try. They also have Chinese and Thai cuisine. I'm not very much fan of the service tho, but overall it's pretty good.

  • 3/5 LIFESTYLE with S. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is good. But beers and other alcoholic drinks are extremely overpriced. I ordered 1 Bira white which had Rs.115 MRP. But, was charged Rs. 605.

  • 4/5 Jasmeet Singh A. 1 year ago on Google
    Old restaurant in CP which still has the old world charm. Smells of good chinese food. We went there for a post meal dessert and ordered Darsan. It authentic, tastes good and also the portion size is good. Price approx 650 for a dessert is on the steeper side. Would go there again to try the regular menu.

  • 3/5 kulsoom n. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered golden fried prawns which was not crispy at all and even the spring rolls were not crispy. The noodles were good in taste. Soup was average in taste. Overall average taste, if you dont have any option for chinese then you can opt for this place

  • 4/5 Mkcy 1 year ago on Google
    It was a pleasant dinner in Zen. The service was remarkable, and so was the food. A beautiful place to dine with your family and taste the diversity of diet, friendly, helpful and amazing staff around the clock giving the time and privacy to consume your chosen delicacy.☘

  • 1/5 Samkith B. 1 month ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    I had ordered for a pasta (4 cheese or something) that costed about 700+ including taxes. The pasta didn't seem freshly cooked, was poorly plated; no sides nothing; just a poorly made pasta in white sauce. The Rs. 30 Maggi pasta has better taste and has a better quality. I wish I had clicked photos of the plate. The staff is irresponsible and careless too. No quality checks; not concerned about customer experience. They were more like you can come eat and leave. I can understand if it was during the end of the day and the staff is exhausted. But, how could they behave like that at 1pm in the afternoon? And I also paid about Rs. 65 as a service charge. Very disappointing experience.
