Zara Restaurant

Great food fast service

Really enjoyed a recent function there the food was great

This used to be a great quality restaurant, sadly not anymore. The last few times I’ve been, the food was really low quality. The lady serving was rather rude and sarcastic and the lamb chop smelled horrific. They need to pick back up on the quality if they want to keep their customers coming back. But for me I won’t be going back to waste my money again.

Quite simply the best Doner kebab in town. And the other dishes are awesome too. I've been going here since the 80s and it's the same owners. The service isn't great, sometimes they can take a while or forget a few things but they are lovely, hardworking folk who take pride in the quality of their food. If you want a fancy Michelin grade restaurant go elsewhere. If you want to experience the best Turkish food then come here. Saturday nights are good too to get their authentic experience with the music and belly dancers (not my thing, I'm all about the food!!!).

So delicious. Favourite place for an after work late night feed, never disappointed. The Turkish rice is AMAZING!! And the bread is always so fresh. The owner is also a lovely guy and always smiling and welcoming. Love this place, give it a try if you’re in the area.

Great experience here late at night. Even though we came late the worker put on fresh bread for us and the food tasted great. My apologies to the owner for my drunken friend, thank you for being understanding!

Place to celebrate birthday party with a big group of people and a great night entertainment of belly dancer.

Gone here multiple times over the years, still the best Turkish restaurant in Melbourne. Great food, wonderful service, good pricing and friendly staff. Would recommend going here.

Not worth the money!!! Have to keep asking for food and takes them forever to bring out bread, drinks etc. Drinks were no good. When they asked how was the food, I said we will not be coming back ever again because we were not satisfied with the food.

my family has been coming here for at least 20 years. Amongst this time, their food quality has decreased and their service has become quite appalling. We came here last for Mother's Day and this will personally be my last time. As usual, we ordered the king's banquet and mentioned over the phone that we had 5 vegetarian guests. To start, they brought out bread, bread and more bread. Then, about 2-3 tiny plates of potato salad for a table of 20. Each person got about 2 potato slices on their plate!! Same thing with the pide (everyone got 1 tiny slice) Dips were boring and all tasted the same. Waiters and staff are so inattentive and careless and make you feel bad about asking for more food. Lemon squash was also diluted and flat. We paid 35 per person × 20 ($700), you can afford to feed your guests more than bread and water! Their was a miscommunication amongst the owner and his wife as apparently he didn't know that there was vegetarians dining at Zara's. My sister went over to the register to say that we were really hungry and not satisfied. His wife then came over to the table and had a very rude attitude. It really isn't that big of a deal, be accomodating and nicer to your customers and you may actually have a full restaurant for once. Her and her mother continued to roll their eyes at us the entire time. Well done Zara's you have lost loyal customers due to your stinginess, money hungry and impolite staff!
