   It was a wonderful dinner - the server walked us through some suggestions for dinner (all were delicious) and the staff were attentive but not stuffy. Will definitely be back!

   $50 per person to hold a reservation, that’s non sense. However the food was delicious. The chef’s son was great at advising. I do recommend eating there.

   I’ve been to over 300 restaurants in Vancouver I would say this one fits within the first top 5 in my opinion.

   We loved Zarak the first time we went. This time, not so much. We ordered too much food, and would’ve ordered less had our server told us that two of the dishes came with large portions of rice. The rice was delicious but we couldn’t eat it all. In fact we ended up taking four boxes of food home with us. The paper menu does not have prices. We should’ve asked. When the bill came, we were shocked. The noise level was overwhelming. We will go back to Zarak, but not for quite some time. The food is delicious.

   Food was spectacular, wine very good if a little overpriced, service terrific. Our waitress, Tea, was magnificent. The place was packed at 6 pm on a Thursday -- a very good sign. All staff were masked, which we appreciated. Will definitely return. Great addition to Main St. eateries!

    Excellent meal in a beautiful room. Nice to have something other than an Italian restaurant open up. We had the brunch and the flavours were delicious and well seasoned. Can’t wait to try the dinner menu.

    Food and drinks were good. My only complaint--reservations with less than a two hour time limit can be tight. We had paid and were finishing our drinks when we were informed next reservation was waiting for us to leave and we should please do so.

    From the moment you walk in, the staff are there to greet you and set the right expectations. Although the one who greeted us couldn’t help right away, they let us know someone would be right back to help. The waitress was knowledgeable, helpful and charismatic. The food and portions were great! I will definitely come back and recommend to others.

    The desserts (Firni jar and mango gelato) were not inspiring and tasted so-so. I've had Mom's secret cake in the past, and it was also so-so. If it weren't for the desserts, I would have given 5 stars for food.

    Absolutely amazing service and they were incredibly accommodating with special dietary requests due to allergies. Chef prepared a separate dinner that was completely allium free for two of our party which was so very appreciated! Wonderful food and beautiful cocktails. I will definitely be going back soon.

    Our server Meryem was very sweet and comped our meals when the kitchen made a mistake, causing our meals to take longer than usual. It was very considerate and great customer service without having to ask for it. The food was pretty good, though my fried chicken benny was extremely spicy and so were two of the four ceasers in the flight. Overall, a unique new restaurant that I would recommend and look forward to trying dinner.

    Zarak is one of my favourite restaurants in the city. The food is excellent and the service is amazing. They always go out of their way to make sure you’re having an enjoyable experience. I recommend getting the bolani and the brussel sprouts for the table, as well as the beef or lamb kebabs. You’ll need to save room for dessert though because their mum’s secret cake deserves to be tried at least once. And no joke, their sheer yakh ice cream is the absolutely best ice cream in the city. I’m obsessed, I get it every single time no matter how full I am. The drinks are great too! Especially the bamyan (non-alc) and gulrang rose (alc).
