    We had a lovely lunch. It was very quiet so we could talk and catch up with the other ladies.

    Staff were extremely helpful I had the best Chicken nBurger I've ever eaten and my wife had a Tuna Tostado which was also excellent. We probably would have preferred more fish offerings on Good Friday but as I said, what we had was excellent

    The steak was just superb and the staff were so lovely. The place has a great vibe, but also can be quite intimate like when we had the back room. Thanks for a lovely evening.

    Food was outstanding, absolutely great. Service was a bit ordinary, staff were friendly but slow. Was a great fan of ZaZaTa when it operated and service was much better.

    I strongly advise against dining here. We came to celebrate a special reunion with friends, but the experience was a disaster. After waiting an hour for our food, we discovered the staff had forgotten to put our order into the system. Rather than apologizing for the oversight, the staff was incredibly rude, offering us an ultimatum to either 'wait or leave. A total lack of professionalism and basic customer service. Do not waste your time or money at a place that treats its guests with such indifference.

    So bad we decided to salvage our evening and leave. No drink and only a tiny morsel of food after an hour and a half. Diners squished in to conference rooms. A once great restaurant totally destroyed.

    Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. The food was late, drink orders missed and the meal dragged on for 3 and a half hours. Such a pity as sone of the food was very good.

    We attended the za za ta “one night only” for Valentine’s Day. Food was still tasty however service and organisation of the event was very messy.

    This review was for the one off return of Za Za Ta for Valentine’s Day 2026. When I first saw Kazba were doing this, I jumped on and booked straight away. We have eaten at Za Za Ta a number of times and we LOVED that place! Unfortunately this experience just wasn’t the same. I’ll start by saying though that the food was just about as good as we remembered it being, which is what saved the night to be honest. We arrived for our 6:00pm booking and had to line up to get in, which was a little strange. It was clear that they had turned the old restaurant into conference rooms, and the tables were just too close to each other. I had no trouble at all hearing pretty much everything the person next to me was saying, and much clearer than my wife sitting across from me. This was made harder by the strange choice of loud music playing. The biggest issue we had was the service. Don’t get me wrong, the staff were wonderful and friendly and helpful, but we started at 6:00pm, waited nearly an hour between the two dishes for the first course, and when we left (early) at 9:00pm we had to get the final two dishes of the main course plus our desserts to go. I could also see continuing confusion with table numbers as staff struggled with getting drink orders correct on most tables. I appreciate what was trying to be done here, but I really expected much more for $119 per person on Valentines Day. I also realise they could not recreate the original ambience of Za Za Ta (which was beautiful) but again, I think overall they just struggled with the night.

FAQs

Aim for midweek or an early weeknight for a quieter, smoother experience, guests report Monday or weekday evenings being calmer. Weekends and special events (e.g., Valentine’s pop-ups) can be busy and sometimes stretched service-wise, so avoid peak event nights if you prefer a relaxed meal.

Smart casual. The owner’s information lists the dress code as smart casual, which suits the plush, lounge-style setting.

Portions are generally small-plate / share-style, designed for sharing rather than single large mains. Guests say the plate sizes work well for lighter eaters and groups sharing multiple mezze and small plates, so plan to order several dishes per person if you’re hungry. The menu explicitly features small mezzes, sides and mains suitable for sharing.

Family-friendly: yes, guests regularly bring families, celebrate birthdays and dine with teens. Seating is mixed (lounges, high bar tables and cosier booths), which can suit groups and families. Accessibility: not specified in the available information, so call ahead if you need step-free access or other mobility accommodations.

Kazba offers a mix of seating: high bar tables, lounge/cosy seating and a back room that’s been used for private events. Guests mention both intimate lounge spots and higher tables for drinks; note that for some special events the layout has felt more like conference rooms, so seating can vary by night.

Warm, plush and Tel Aviv–inspired, Kazba aims for an exotic, intimate vibe with velvet cushions and creative cocktails. Many guests enjoy the atmosphere as cosy and stylish; a few report louder music or a more bustling feel during events. Service consistency can affect the overall experience on busy nights.

Yes, Kazba can be a very good date-night spot when you want an intimate, slightly adventurous evening. The venue is plush and Tel Aviv–inspired with cosy seating, craft cocktails and shareable Middle Eastern plates that suit a relaxed, romantic meal. Note: guests report the atmosphere can vary (sometimes lively or a bit loud) and service has been inconsistent on busy nights, so consider a weekday or an early booking for a smoother experience.

Yes, guests recommend calling ahead for birthdays, dietary needs or seating preferences. Several guests noted staff went out of their way for birthdays and were able to accommodate vegetarian/vegan swaps for the High Tea. For bigger requests or large groups, call in advance to confirm what’s possible.

Midweek, guests recommend weekdays (for example, Monday or other weekday evenings) for a quieter, more relaxed experience with better service. Weekends and special events tend to be much busier.

Families do dine here and guests often celebrate birthdays with children or teens. The menu is small-plate and share-focused, so there isn’t a dedicated kids’ menu, but portions and share plates work well for groups. If you have young children, consider an earlier seating and call ahead to check any menu flexibility.

Busiest: weekends and special-event nights (many guests reported heavy traffic and stretched service on Valentine’s and other one-off events). Quietest: midweek evenings and some Monday nights are noted as much calmer with steadier service. If you prefer a relaxed meal, aim for a weekday or early seating.
