We came from interstate for a theatre show and wanted to eat nearby, so Jounieh was the perfect location, I was expecting the food to be good, but we were absolutely blown away. The food was impeccable, absolutely flawless, the flavours, textures and presentation were all 10/10. My partner and I both agreed it was the best meal either of us have ever had (we had the banquet with meat). The service was outstanding, so professional, attentive, but not over bearing or in your face, the decor is modern and sleek, gorgeous location, amazing food and brilliant service. 5 stars. We’re already looking at coming back early in the new year just to eat here again!

Our colleagues raved about Zafi so we were keen to give it a try - we'll be back! Staff were attentive but not overbearing. Very helpful and relaxed. The space was clean, well designed and the noise level was pleasant. The food was exceptional - very tasty, well presented and good portion sizes. We shared 5 plates amongst 3 people and this was great for lunch. Service was timely, neither too slow or too rushed. And it was well priced. Ticks all boxes. I've already recommended Zafi to others.
