Our colleagues raved about Zafi so we were keen to give it a try - we'll be back! Staff were attentive but not overbearing. Very helpful and relaxed. The space was clean, well designed and the noise level was pleasant. The food was exceptional - very tasty, well presented and good portion sizes. We shared 5 plates amongst 3 people and this was great for lunch. Service was timely, neither too slow or too rushed. And it was well priced. Ticks all boxes. I've already recommended Zafi to others.

If you go with a fixed menu, be prepare to eat what’s on the fixed list. There is no “pick one of these 3 options”. You’d better like things like oysters, caviar, and raw tuna. If so, you will probably enjoy. If not, you may be wasting your money. There was nothing wrong with the food, but the menu was just too foo foo for me.
