Ordered some corned beef and cabbage to take home. It is SO GOOD!!!! Perfect seasoning and tender. I had never been to Zen and was impressed at the decor and the staff. Really nice experience and looking forward to dining in.

I rarely write reviews like this, but my experience at Zen’s Dining Lounge was beyond unacceptable. I brought my best friend (who was visiting me for the first time), my brother, and my four-year-old son, expecting a nice dining experience. Instead, we got the worst service I’ve ever encountered.
We ordered our food and drinks, and while I was already on my second drink, our meals still hadn’t arrived. My brother, who had to leave for a five-hour drive, paid for his drinks separately at the bar and left. After waiting an hour and a half with no food, we finally asked for the bill and requested the food be removed, as we simply couldn’t wait any longer.
Miraculously, just five minutes after requesting the bill, our food appeared—convenient timing, right? We asked for to-go boxes, but the moment my friend lifted a piece of pasta, there it was: a huge hair embedded in the food. Absolutely disgusting. At that point, we refused to pay for the meals and asked for a manager.
We were repeatedly told, “The manager will be here in five minutes,” but no one ever showed. With my son getting restless and us being completely fed up, we had no choice but to leave. I initially decided not to write a review because I wanted to support a Black-owned business, but then, days later, my brother discovered that the restaurant charged his card $180 without authorization, that the owner refused to refund—a card that he had only used at the bar to pay for his drinks.
This place didn’t just serve terrible food with a side of bad service; they straight-up scammed him. The proof is right here in these photos. If I could give negative stars, I would. Zen’s Dining Lounge will never see another dime from me or anyone I know.

I regret not getting takeout or dining here sooner. I got takeout tonight and it was insanely delicious. Was craving jerk chicken and some soul warming food….I got that and more. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the seasoning ON POINT!
The mac and cheese was the best I’ve had in the area…the rice, the green…oh my.
Can’t wait to dine here in person!!

The food was amazing, music was just as good as the food. Chasity was the best server and took pics of me and my girlfriend with no problem!
10/19/24- went for the first time to this restaurant because they had a live band. The band was awesome. The service was absolutely terrible.
I sat at the bar and ordered salmon and a salad. The waiter came back 48 minutes later with my undercooked, lukewarm salmon and the salad placed my food down and walked away. I had to get up and go find a waiter for silverware. Once I had my silverware I started with my salad, and there was no salad dressing on the salad. I had to find a different waiter for salad dressing. I spoke with the person who stated he was the manager in regards to this. He took A few dollars off of the menu in retrospect, I should not have paid for any of it and I should’ve just walked out. I would never bring any of my business associates to this restaurant. What happened to customer service?

I recently dined at Zen Dining Lounge, and it was a fantastic experience! The hospitality was top-notch – the staff were incredibly attentive and made sure we were comfortable from the moment we walked in. The food was delicious, with a great variety of flavorful dishes that felt both fresh and well-prepared. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxed evening, and it made for an ideal spot to hang out and unwind. This place is especially great for a date night, as it has a cozy, intimate vibe that really sets the mood. Highly recommend Zen Dining Lounge for anyone looking to enjoy good food in a welcoming, chill atmosphere!
