   Awesome service, our server explained every dish on the menu and gave some recommendations. Food is super delicious, there were 4 of us and we shared some appies and a couple of main dishes. Decor is neutral, was expecting Afghan decor. Have to book weeks in advance, they are very busy !! Would definitely go back !!

   Wow! The food was awesome. The staff were so friendly and helpful with recommendations for shared meals for a group with various dietary considerations. The drinks were also creative and fantastic. Overall the ambiance of the restaurant was nice. I found the restaurant helpful and communicative via text message in advance of our visit. I would recommend booking well in advance as the place really fills up.

   It was amazing. Our server (I don’t remember his name) but he was wonderful. The food was incredible and we are so thankful for the experience (and for your kindness even though we were late). We will definitely be coming back again soon :)

   great food, drinks and atmosphere. it was our first time and our server explained all the dishes to us and we loved everything. all the dishes were packed full of flavour and we want to try their brunch next!! we brought our two year old and was a little worried about the restaurant being kid friendly as they don’t have high chairs. we ended up bringing our own and they accommodated and all the staff were so friendly with our toddler. thank you!

    The food, ambience, and service was incredible! There was such attention to detail given to every aspect of the restaurant from the decor to the food and even the waitstaff’s outfits. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. My one complaint is I slipped and almost fell on my way in as something was slippery on the floor. Thankfully I didn’t injure myself too badly but I’d be cautious going forward! Thanks for a nice evening; we will be back.

    Loved the general vibe (laid back, not too Instagram-y or trendy), the service was warm and friendly, the food was really good: well spiced, well prepared and presented. Definitely worth making a reservation. Price point is excellent too for a Vancouver brunch. Great value.

    This was our first time at Zarak, but it will definitely not be our last. Great food, great service and a wonderful addition to Vancouver's restaurant scene! The only negative is that the restaurant is so popular you have to book weeks in advance for a weekend dinner reservation.

    Our server, Taya was lovely and provided lots of helpful suggestions for food recommendations. Our reservation was for 5 pm, when we showed up the restaurant was not open yet but doors opened around 5:15. Happy hour was until 6pm which included lots of lovely cocktails.

    We went during happy hour so it was very busy and loud. Service was good. Food was a little disappointing to me, beef and lamb on the tough side and dishes did not come hot but others in our party enjoyed it. Felt very rushed and was reminded of a time limit several times prior and during our meal so not a surprise when we came up against the clock and had to 'down' our wine to keep within the time limit. Very nice staff, lovely space.

    The food, service and decor were really great! I was surprised at the price of cocktails and coffee which were higher than restaurants with a similar price point for food. I was disappointed that we were asked to leave our table after 1.5 hours. I hadn't realised we had such a short time slot when I made the booking online. My 80 year old mom still had most of her $19 cocktail and we just had to stand at the entrance while she finished it. There weren't even any seats at the bar.

    The food at Zarak is spectacular, as is the decor. Staff is friendly, helpful and efficient. As an older couple, my husband and I found the noise level somewhat unpleasant, but much better than most restaurants we go to. The music itself was not loud, and seemed to be focused mostly in the bar area. Given the quality and quantity of the dishes, the prices are very reasonable.

    Brunch was excellent and our choices of skillet, pakawara and the afgani mix were tasty, and filling. The portions are well calculated and we were not left hungry nor was there any food left to be taken home. Alas. We will definitely be publicising this restaurant and most certainly will be back. The mimosa flight was especially smart and I know now that I'll be forever ordering a lychee mimosa. I had a great afternoon nap thanks to the mimosas !! Many thanks again for a super Mother's Day. judita
