The restaurant is stunning and huge with 3 separate rooms. I ate dinner in the dining room on the first night and then had brunch in the atrium room two days in a row. Food and drinks were so so good!!!

I had such an amazing time here! The space is stunning! You feel like you’re in a palace. The service was exceptional - Mo was our server and he made sure we had everything we needed and was very patient in explaining the menu and his recommendations. We went as a group of 4, but would also be such a cozy date spot.
I loved my experience and cannot wait to come back!

This restaurant is absolutely stunning. The tall ceilings, holiday decorations, candlelit tables, and beautiful wallpaper create an incredibly cozy and inviting atmosphere. It’s one of the nicest ambiances I could have hoped for.
The food was good, with some very interesting twists on classic dishes. Unfortunately, our waiter came across as passive-aggressive and overly pushy, which made the experience feel a bit rushed. He repeatedly asked my friend if she wanted a drink—three times—even after she had clearly said she only wanted water from the start. I understand that servers are encouraged to upsell, but that was the only disappointing part of an otherwise lovely evening.

Gorgeous place, shame about the manager who tried to give my client caffeine tea when she's allergic. It was a strange attitude to have. Left an odd taste in me and my groups mouths.

The place is stunning to take photos however they didn’t let us in the nice area supposedly it is reserved for other people mind you it was empty no one showed up. The food was ok! my favorite was the French fries lol. The manager was rude, 3 other staff told me and my best friend we can go in the back to take photos since it’s empty but the manager was giving mug and mean girl vibes she said we aren’t allowed there. So go at your own risk the food is ok nothing out of the world. Cocktails were $26 yikes

Amazing spot to kick off a night out with your besties or partner. The interior is gorgeous and feels super luxe. The cocktails can't be missed and the food is delish. There is something for everyone on the menu and appetizers are very shareable. I will be back

I recently had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at Zaffri. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming—the kind of place where you can relax and enjoy great food.
The service was great ,attentive, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu.
Speaking of the menu, the dishes were outstanding. Each plate was beautifully presented, and the flavors were bold yet balanced. I could tell the kitchen clearly takes pride in every detail.
The ambiance contributed to a memorable evening as well—comfortable seating, tasteful decor, and a well-curated soundtrack that never overwhelmed conversation.
Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. I’m already looking forward to my next visit and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Zaffri to friends and family. Five stars all around!

The food was outstanding, shoutout to the chef it did not disappoint! Thank you to managers Devorah and Javon for making our experience memorable! We definitely recommend this restaurant.
