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.
