"Yet another fabulous meal at Zena. It never fails to impress. The food really is incredible... the flavours divine, the menu choice excellent, the portion sizes amazing, the service first class. That's why we go week after week, we know we will never be disappointed. The owner is charming, welcoming, humble, kind. Go, you won't be disappointed."

"it a bit late review but honest, my daughters birthday was the occasion we booked for dinner at Zena Restaurant, the food was exceptional, the environment was set for the event and finally the staff oh no words could describe how friendly and amazing they were, truly they made it special for Juri. thank you guys and well done"

"Such great food and atmosphere and Jemma who served us was so sweet. Also very cute little place. Only thing is it’s freezing! Had a big fur jacket on the whole time and it still wasn’t enough, sitting outside probably would’ve been warmer. Feel bad for the staff as it genuinely was so cold and they didn’t have any jumpers on"

"It's okay. I had two mains and sampled a few others. The chicken kebab was good, however not the best value and is not large enough to could as the only dish you will want to eat. The dishes served with Zena Rice are much larger, however the lamb two of us received was very fatty. I also had an okra dish. I usually like okra, however this seemed overcooked. (Unless this is a traditional way and my way of cooking it where it still has texture is wrong.) The lamb kebab was better than most lamb kebabs I've eaten, however I only got to try it because the person who ordered it thought it was just okay. The hot sauce is very pleasant and the garlic mayo was good. The salty yoghurt was surprisingly tasty. First time trying it and it complimented every dish the table tried it with. Avoid dessert. If the baclava and Turkish delight are made on site, they're very similar to shop bought and potion sizes are stingy. All in all, it's middle of the road. Pricey for what you get in the area."

"This was a very random visit, walked past Zena and decided to try- one of the best random decisions I've made. The owner was a great host, we walked in when the kitchen was almost closing but he spoke to the chef on our behalf. The restaurant's cosy and food is AMAZING. Nice Levantine cuisine, not too spicy, great taste and texture. My new fave place to eat."
