"Delicious Homemade Comfort Food at Zaza Cafe, New Road I recently visited Zaza Cafe, and I was truly impressed by the warmth of the service and the quality of the food. They offer fresh, homemade dishes that feel like a comforting hug for your taste buds. I tried the lasagne, and it was absolutely delicious - the perfect balance of flavors, and you can tell it’s made with care. I also ordered a tuna panini, which was equally amazing and fresh. The bread was perfectly toasted, and the tuna filling was fresh and satisfying. What stands out the most is how trustworthy the food feels - it’s like eating home-cooked meals, made with love and attention. The friendly service added to the cozy vibe, making it a truly enjoyable experience. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for hearty, fresh, and comforting food in a welcoming setting. Good portion size and value for money."

"Visited last Sunday. I ordered chicken tikka panini and my husband wanted to have lamb biryani which was not available so we ordered the waiters recommended of roast chicken with rice. We enjoyed our meal the roast chicken was not your traditional roast chicken it was crispy with its own spice almost like a pan fried chicken yet not dry. He really enjoyed his meal. We ordered the roast chicken meal to take away for our son as well and he enjoyed it."
