    Happy Hour is real value for your money. The Lansdowne location provided great Christmas ambience inside and out. Also, a glass of bubbly on the way in was a nice touch. Very classy! Our server, was really great!

    The food was very good and very affordable for the quality. The service was superb and the ambiance was great. The person assisting to our table was attentive to her customers and took time to ensure our experience was positive. We had also limited time while attending to a show at the NAC and she ensured that our food was served on time for us to make our way to the NAC. Would definitely recommend reservations on weekends as it tends to be quite busy.

    We loved our High Tea at Zoey’s. The atmosphere, the food and the service were top notch. Shout out to the excellent Garrick who made the whole experience even better. We were celebrating 2 birthdays and were treated to a special treat on the house - unexpected and lovely.

    Fairouz can do no wrong. We went to a different restaurant prior and wanted to leave so bad, and we were glad to get this reservation within 15 mins of checking the app to book it. Here’s to making a last minute decision for my birthday dinner. The meat platter was amazing, quick to bring to the table. An intimate ambiance for a date night, and great Arabi playlist of course
