Zaks

One of the worst experience over here. It was an afternoon as soon as I entered restaurant it was empty. Cleanliness was very average, I was in doubt so just ordered one shawarma roll. After 15 mins, I got the roll, I had high expectations but one bite into it no flavour, no taste just boiled chicken with some pickles. I had 2 bite, I saw hair in it. I just called the waiter and left the restaurant.

One of the worst Mutton Mandi I can say the meat was not cooked we asked the staff to check they went came back after 15min with the same meat without even been cooked
We dint had meat we just had rice which was not like mandi rice it was like lemon rice
Smal cockrach and ants running down to dinning table no cleanliness

We have been here since 8/9 years.it's awesome everytime.now it's been like home resturant.and one of the staff named Arun.he is so friendly.

If You are looking out for best Arabic food experience. This is the place to be.

The staff is friendly and food is delicious and the quantity is very filling.

If you are around this area this is the place to look out for.

Had mushakal. I first tried this place when I was in school. After so many years I tried again, still authentic. Still the best. Good service by Leo. Highly recommended for Arabian style of food.

A must try in Bangalore, especially if you are a Middle eastern cuisine lover.
They are known for their Mushakal, which is basically a family platter. It can feed upto two to three people. It is basically a platter of biryani, which is not too spicy and made with Bashmati rice topped with a mutton or chicken gravy of your choosing along with tandoori starters lined on the corner of the plate.

The ambience is very cosy and nice. The staff is very kind and helpful.

The desserts are also very tasty, a must try is the Baklava and the Kunafa.

Super nice service and good food.we ordered the mezze platter and few other dishes. Few veg options but very tasty. Both Arun and leo took good care of us including a lovely baklava plate and candle (for a birthday) and making special veg option for me. The place smells bit musty and could use some sprucing up. But think we will go here often for our mezze fix.

I was referred by someone. But I am sorry to say, IT WAS NOT GOOD. Food was not satisfactory. Feeling really bad as there is NO VALUE FOR MONEY PAID.

Worst food, worth less to spend our hard earn money here, please dont waste your money here!

Very good food
Their hummus is amazing and the dessert is very nice.
Overall great experience!

A no nonsense very close to "authentic Syrian and Lebanese inspired cooking. Still going strong.

Tried the muttonsheek kebab and hummus with khuboos. Mutton Sheek kebab quantity is too less when compared to its pricing. Taste wise it's average but quantity needs to be revised. Coming to Hummus, pricing is pretty the same across Bengaluru but taste should be enhanced on serious note. Please provide a proper khuboos or lebanese bread to serve atleast one person.
On Conslusion, the quantity of food is not matching with your pricing.

Arabian style biryani. Includes Mushakkal, Mandi and other Gulf style biryanis. This place is good to visit with family. Little expensive but worth a visit

On short notice they arranged candles n lovely cakes for my anniversary. Zak recommended dishes which were really tasty especially mutton roast and maqluba at the end they served kunafa as complimentary.they were very particular about customers satisfaction.will visit again

Nice place to dine with family, food were good. Parking is not available, lift is not working so you need to take stairs for 1st floor.

Arabic cuisine with I guess more than 30 years of experience? Very good experience. Food was excellent and portions generous. The owner and his son very helpful and gracious. True Arab hospitality.

Quite good
Good for those who love Middle eastern cuisine
But they should maintain hygiene
Overall food was good

It was licious. Meat was evenly slow cooked and juicy and they've taken care of each dish with care. Maqluba was so good with fried veggies, evenly coated minced meat, puffy rice. The guy who helped us to choose the menu was amazing, he actually suggested us the best that goes with our taste buds.

A restaurant I shall highly recommend to treat yourself with Mediterranean food. You must try their Fatoosh salad and Mushakal (a special platter composed of chicken, meat, fish and prawns spread over flavored rice).
The review would be incomplete if I don't mention the hospitable owner of this place, Zakey. He is a true gentleman, representing a host in the real sense.

Do visit with family & friends!
Happy eating

Just visited this place with hubby due to some work. They served us Kunafa something I had never tried before. And it was yummy & a perfect sweet dish. Not overly sweet you can literally feel ghee melting inside your mouth as soon as you take that bite. Good place for family and the perfect place to enjoy Mediterranean cuisine. Such a friendly atmosphere here ️

The waiters r too local & have too much attitude and they puch to buy the costliest items.bad ambience, food is average. Not recommended to anyone.

A place to go for Mediterranean food lover. Though interior is not very impressive, food is delicious. Hospitality is too good, they serve you with so much of love, I just loved it. They also have very good vegetarian options.

A family friend told us about Zaks, i had to try it out. Went there, very friendly staff. Nice ambience with the cabins. Made me feel like i was in a scene from Aladdin. Very cosy. Ordered chicken Shawarma, a fafel roll, hummus and the sheek kabab. The humus was amazing and the sheek kabab for me was fantastic. Such flavour and spice, it was perfect. They have more on their menu which i need to try next time. Pricing is decent. The Shawarma is rs 90, a sheek kabab plate is rs 200. Car parking is hard to find.

Restaurant is good but service and higiene ambience was not good food was not so tasty as compared to al zara resturant

Brilliant place. Belongs to my friend and a humble person indeed! Fond of the entire setup! You will for sure have a lovely experience with family or friends! All the best!

One of the best places for Arab food in Bangalore. More than the food the owner Zak is very very courteous. I felt very happy the way he treated me and also offered different types of rice to try for free. A must visit pace for Arab food and also for the courteousness of the owner.

If you are looking for good ambience this is not an option but if you are looking for tasty arabian food then this is the best hotel.

Staff are very polite and give you good options.

Food is very tasty, normally I don't eat much rice but here rice was very tasty and chicken grills are very juicy and mutton also good.

Dessert are very tasty. Don't miss to try kunufa it's very very tasty.

Price is very very nominal 5 members it costs around 1400 rs it's very very economical.

If you want to try best arabian cuisine then the is one the best choice.

Thank you.

I visited Zaks after knowing and meeting the owner in another event. Was very excited and eager to go to this place.
Here are my views:

1. Probably due to post pandemic the place was empty and when i visited the lights were not ON. I had to ask the staff if the place is open. After going in then they switched on the lights and music.
The decor and the ambiance is very poor and gives a doubt if they can actually delivery good food.

HOWEVER

2. The staff are knowledgeable and know about each dish. They proposed good dishes and we ordered a few as per the description on the menu.

3. The food when dished out was absolutely yum. The taste was heavenly. The alfaham was yum, tasty and juicy. The mezzeh platter was awesome. The Mushakal rice was average as the mutton was tough. But apart from that everything was great.

4. The pricing are very decent. For 4 of us we spent just 1400/- which is good for Mediterranean food.

So, it's just the interiors and the emptiness that makes you doubt the food. Once the food comes the view changes. Hope the team can work on this for their good.

Cheers.

No items were available so they were suggesting wat they have n quantity is v v less. Actually we are from marketing too n we know whatever is available to sell that first. N quantity n unavailability of items dissapointed everyone

The best place to eat authentic Arabian food.do not miss on the Mushakal.it's the best.the staff is very polite.the owner is fun to be with. Chef Hystam is very hospitable and ensures you have a good time and yummy food.

The overall food experience was good.they need to expand their space and make it slightly more sophisticated based on the number of people visiting this place

The place could be better, the lift is run down, toilets just about ok, interiors could be better. The stairs is the best way to get there. All this is masked by the tasty Mushakal, the dish is prepared to perfection and is a crowd puller. Take out is a good idea.

PLEASE DON'T GO! Unhygienic place
Two flies free with pita bread
Cleaning the floor and dusting the carpet when we were still having our food
Food was double fried
Lamb was overcooked
Owner is lethargic, unprofessional and rude.
THIS PLACE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN.

Nice place for a family dinner. I have never seen large crowds here, it's away from the hustle and bustle of Frazer Town. Good variety of Middle Eastern cuisine. Most people come here for their signature dish, Mushakkal. Recommended

Very run down and shady. Had to drop out and find another place to take family for dinner Frazer town.

I liked the place but my family dint enjoy the food. Well the plater with rice and mutton kebabs.rice was bland. I liked their salad.fatoosh. I could not try much as we were full. Quantity was good though. Alf am could have been better

Ambience is poor, cleanicity is poor, food is below average, AC condition is poor.

Overall it is not maintained at all. I am not sure about 4* ratings is on what basis. I am giving 1 star for well behaving staffs over there.

Mandi is not in Arabian style I think it was in Syrian style. But the soup stock was good.
Need to improve the taste a lot.

Veg lovers, this is your place to have Falafal healthiest roll/bun/sub of your delicious taste and size. Huge portion will serve your stomach to the fullest. Also, hand pressed juice along with the loveliest fantastic dessert of the stall which is BAKLAVA shouldn't be missed!

It was but disappointing I had ordered mashakala, I felt it was bland and flavourless. The falafel was good and tea was really good.

It is the best restaurant I've been to. The food is incredible and I've never tasted such lovely Middle Eastern food in Bangalore. The servers very very cooperative and the food was very cheap though so well served and tasty.

This is an awesome place for the PPL who love to dine with the family and love able for all recommend for all this place. Spl thx u to the management.

The mutton sheekh kebabs were excellent, the hummus, al faham and pita were good. Staff are courteous, place could be maintained better. Medium budget restaurant.

This restaurant is located on comes road. One can easily notice while driving or sitting in the car itself. They serve middle East cuisine dishes. Every single fish is very tasty, yummy and mouth watering effect. The taste is different because of the different masala they use. Nice interior, good setup. There are private cabins are there for family. Low level table and chairs are placed in the private cabins. Overall great food for a good price.

Place is very small and full of smoke, difficult to sit and eat. Better to order home delivery. Food is good and not very pricey.

Had gone with my buddies.amazing food and awesome experience. Management made sure that we have a gr8 time there. A must visit place for all foodies.

Good taste, need to improve a lot on interiors. Moreover this isn't a AC dining, they just have ceiling fans which make difficult to dine in summer's.

Over-all menu options were good, half of it we kept reading those funny names

I would give less than 1 star. Because the seating and the ind of service is just made us sick.i thought zaks is a good place for taste. But it happened the other way opposite.we ordered something and got something which tasted like shitttt.i would recommend every one not to go to zaks.raidan is better.they dont have better dishes options as well.no worth for money it is just the name and nothing else.people personal advise stay away if your looking for a good taste and try not to lose your value infront of your family if your going there.

A place where you will find the real Mediterranean food which is very wholesome and very homely. The stuff and the ambience is really nice and you will definitely go there back and I can vouch for it.

It is the best restaurant I've been to. The food is incredible and I've never tasted such lovely Middle Eastern food in Bangalore. The servers very very cooperative and the food was very cheap though so well served and tasty. It is the best Arabian restaurant in India

As usual, my favorite dish, Mushakkal. Super flavoured rice with Enuf meat. On it highly recommend for family and friends.
