Zakia Modern Lebanese Restaurant

Expected a much better experience from a fine dining restaurant. We called ahead to ask about parking and were told to use the garage and select a 2-hour free option. When we arrived, there was no such option available. We checked with the valet, and he repeated the same thing, so we eventually parked with the valet to avoid wasting more time. Inside, I noticed a QR code for parking validation, which didn't make sense if you already paid for parking. Our server seemed new — she tried her best but there was no follow-up on appetizers or entrées. Since we had a large group, maybe the service felt more indifferent because the tip was already included. Drinks and food looked nice but were largely tasteless, especially compared to other Lebanese restaurants in the city. We ordered chicken kabob, salmon, labneh, and falafel — the salmon was the best of the bunch, but overall the flavors just weren't there. Very few vegetarian options as well, so not ideal for vegetarians. The biggest disappointment was being told we'd need to pay $35 just to cut a cake we brought in — something I've never experienced at any good restaurant. We had to cut it elsewhere, which honestly ruined the night a bit. Overall, the place looks fine but lacks flavor, warmth, and good service. I could name at least ten better restaurants in the city with a similar menu. Wouldn't go back.

Other than the cocktails everything else was excellent. Great food great service great environment.

Excellent meal for a birthday celebration. Drinks were superb and food was amazing. The only drawback was it got quite loud - but it's definitely a new go to spot for me in the neighborhood.

Took too long for our drinks and for the check. Would definitely go back though and give it another try

The King Trumpet Mushroom Hummus is NOT TO BE MISSED! And the Deconstructed Baklava is divine! Lovely service in beautiful surroundings. Valet is only $5 and worth it.

Very nice Lebanese restaurant, my spouse is Lebanese and enjoyed very much. Remind her of home, slightly different spin of traditional Lebanese but very good!

I went with my girlfriend to lunch. It was not very crowded. We had really good service. The ambience is beautiful and spacious. There are two brothers that own the restaurant and each came by to speak with us. We felt very special. I will definitely go back and bring other friends.

Great food! Prices were reasonable and the restaurant was beautiful. The hummus was especially well made and the complimentary bread was very light and freshly made. The chicken kebab was juicy and tender and well portioned. The Lamb ragu hummus was a little bit on the salty side but paired very well with the bread.

First time trying a Lebanese restaurant. The atmosphere here is great for a date night. Vegan friendly options available. The server was very attentive and explained any dietary restrictions I asked about. I ordered falafels with tahini sauce and the lion mane mushroom skewers.
