Not at all impressed with the vegetarian options so they definitely dropped the ball there. Small portions. Mushroom risotto was just spooned onto the plate with a sprig of thyme for garnish. The paella was cold. Both starter and main were small compared to the other meals. So give it a miss if you're vegetarian.
Malva pudding was the best I've ever had. Chocolate dome was...well...ice cream and (cold) chocolate sauce in a chocolate bowl. Just heating up the chocolate sauce would have elevated this desert.
Tino was a fantastic waiter; personable, competent and charming. Great atmosphere and ambience. Bathrooms could do with regular cleaning, especially because they are communal. Otherwise, a wonderful night. Don't expect anything special if its a birthday celebration.
The food was top tier. Friendly service, although a bit slow. The place is aesthetically pleasing, but very busy and noisy during peak time. If you're looking for an intimate setting, perhaps not Zai.
It was my second time at Zai. The food was great with generous portions. The service was good too. We went on a busy night so the ambiance was just okay.
Great, vibe and good food
