| - Went to Zyara restaurant yesterday for dinner with family. I love the location, it is extremely accessible and of course being in the stylish dix30, underground parking is super convenient.
The interior is bright and modern with middle eastern detailing such as the mashrabiya panels hanging from the ceiling and arch shaped doorways... Absolutely beautiful, could stay there for hours! We were lucky to get a glimpse of the belly dancing show too which started around 8.30pm and the lights dimmed and music got super loud!
We ordered the set menu for 5 people which had a great variety of starters (see images) and then a lot of dishes for the main course. We thought it wouldnt be enough but we were all super full to end with as the portions were a good decent size. I particularly loved the lamb chops, extremely succulent and tasty. My husband went crazy about the king shrimps, they were huge and in a delicious sauce. Service was very good, we loved the abundance of fresh hot pita bread, that really was a plus!
Now for the negative points:
I found the music way too loud, we literally had to be talking super loud to each other in order to be heard... If you want a quiet family environment, I wouldn't recommend Zyara
I found the dessert extremely disappointing for how much we paid. It was part of the set menu along with tea and coffee but we were only given 6 small pieces of baklava... For a total of $350 for 6 people, I found that terrible!
Overall, I would definitely visit Zyara again especially in the summer as the interior is full of natural light. I loved the quality of the food and for that, recommend all foodies to try it!!
