Amazing food and service as we have come to expect from this place. The new location is even better with more space, privacy and better ambiance. Usman and Nishant were great. Besides all the servers were great. They kept on checking in on us and they were great to entertain our young ones. Will definitely recommend and come again.

We came to the new Zauq Mississauga location which opened a few days ago. It has a very elegant decor and ambience. We had the mint lemonade, chicken karhai and fish tikka, tandoori roti and mukka roti followed by pistachio kulfi, kheer and Karak chai. The food is delicious and especially the kheer. The service was excellent and so were our servers Manju and Christina. We will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

We visited the place today. Enough room for everyone in dining. Like the interior decor. Staff was very attentive even though they were busy. Food was not as we expected, we order Chapli kabab (it was good) , Veal buryani (bit dry), and beef ribs( average). Fair price for the items. Overall, it was not a bad experience.

Exceptional Dining Experience I recently dined at Zauq Restaurant in Mississauga, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations! The ambiance was warm and inviting, with modern décor and comfortable seating. The service was top-notch - attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable staff helped us navigate the extensive menu. The food was outstanding! We ordered the butter chicken, beef biryani, and seekh kebabs, all of which were expertly prepared and presented. Flavors were rich and authentic, with generous portions. The seekh kebabs were tender and juicy, while the butter chicken melted in my mouth. The beef biryani was aromatic and flavorful. What impressed me most was the exceptional value for the price. The quality and quantity of food surpassed my expectations. Zauq Restaurant has earned a loyal customer in me. Whether you're in the mood for Pakistani, Indian, or Hakka cuisine, this restaurant delivers. Highly recommend!

I visited this restaurant yesterday, and it was a great experience! The service was excellent—staff were friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, especially the Nihari. Just a suggestion: it would be helpful if the staff asked about the preferred level of heat (pepper) for the dishes, as not everyone enjoys the same level of spiciness. Overall, a fantastic place for a meal!

Really love this place. The food is extremely delicious. I always bring guests here for dinner. The only problem is that if they are not serving regular pop then they should have more juice options. Also even though we were there around 6 they were out of tea as well. However our server was very nice and friendly and she applogized for the tea.

Being a Hyderabadi, I enjoy my Biryani to the core and I m quiet picky on my options when I have to try it. I ve e decided to give this spot a shot and my goodness, their Biryani was soooo flavorful. I ve got the chicken biryani from here, the chicken was cooked right, good portion size and amazing flavor. Defiantly coming back.

It was my first time at the zauq restaurant itself. The location has changed and the new place is beautiful with a sleek renovated decor. We were served by Manju and Raj at they were great with the kids and helping us through our order. Food quality was good specially the Lahore fish, chicken khurchan and the BBQ platter. The BBQ platter presentation might need to be worked on as everything was a bit squished but overall and excellent experience and definitely an addition for list of desi restaurants

We have been going to Zauk for years but this new place is under new ownership and management. The quality of food has significantly degraded. The staff were polite but messed up our order several times. We ordered chicken biryani and they brought us lamb and argued with us that it was chicken even when we pointed out it was not chicken. Had to call the owner to have them change the dish. We ordered butter naans and they gave us regular naans. We had 6 naans that came with our dishes and asked them to change three of them to garlic naan. They charged us full price for those garlic naans without telling us or giving us 9 naans since we paid for 3 extra naans. They charged autograt of 10% even after the terrible service. The previous owner was so friendly and always checked up on your table unlike this one who didn t once come by to apologize for the mixups. Oh well, another good restaurant destroyed by ownership change. Never going back.

Last saturday we visited zauq, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The service was shockingly poor. Upon arrival, we were left waiting more than 20 minutes without any acknowledgment from the staff. It was as though our presence didn t matter. No one was attentive, and even when I tried to get someone s attention, they seemed uninterested. The lack of organization and attentiveness was frustrating. On our way out we spoke to a lady and express our frustration and we left the place and we didnt eat our lunch at Zauq. Dissapointing experience.

★★★
December 17, 2024

After all the hype on Instagram, we went to Zauk - It s nice and cozy, warm lit. The interiors are good but no way convey the cuisine the restaurant offers. The staff is really good - we were greeted and served by Christina and she made sure we were well take care off. She explained the menu items and suggested good combinations of dishes that we would love. Regarding the food, it s overpriced for the taste and uniqueness that the restaurant promises. With the fellow patrons order Smokey stuff, the ventilation failed to give you just the hint of spices and flavor, but instead it suffocates you only to have all the fumes hitting back of your throat. The table for two is circular shaped, which does mean when you have many dishes on the table - you have to play a jigsaw puzzle to have them fit together. 2 curries, 2 basket of Naans and a starter wouldn t fit the table for you to have relishing them correctly. We order Gobi Manchurian which was soggy instead of being crispy just with the right amount of sauce. The Spicy curry we ordered wasn t really hot spicy, but sweet and spicy. Overall, we missed the experience and taste we were looking for. Dietary restrictions: No one asked about our allergies. Though we didn t have any.

Cafe Zauq in Mississauga serves the best halwa puri nashta, thanks to the incredible hospitality of Nishant and Usman. The puris are perfectly golden and non-greasy, the chana masala is packed with flavorful spices, and the halwa is a fragrant, lightly sweetened delight.

They brought us the wrong curry which we didn t actually realize. We started eating it. They then realized they brought us the wrong curry - so they took it back?! On top of that, he was mad about it. What did they do with the half eaten curry? Anyway, the food made up for the lacking service.

Visited on day 1 and was not only impressed from the moment we walked in, but left happy and pleased with the service and food. Other people who were with me had health concerns and cannot tolerate any excess oil and spicy food. The waitress was patient with us and gave us their best recommendations based on our needs. Additionally, food prep didnt take too long. We ordered the paneer karahi, chicken stuffed paratha and the fried rice. The food was excellent, but the only thing I noticed is that there wasnt much chicken added to the fried rice, and it felt more like eating a veggie fried rice. Portion wise, everything was very generous and it lasted us 2 meals. I love the attention to detail put in the decor and design/aesthetic of the resto. Theyve also got a secret garden at the back for small groups, and a prayer area. I would come back over and over again. Its a nice spot to take guests and loved ones alike, for a special night out. Food is delicious too. I enjoyed their karahi the most. Past location (review from 4+ years ago): I have to admit that even though I dont typically like to eat curries, biryani, karahis, etc - I was impressed by Zauq. It was more than I expected and really good. I havent been back in a while and would love to go back since I heard about their renovation. I remember that we tried both items from the Pakistani and Hakka menu. We tried one of the chicken karahis which was spiced well (I cant handle too spicy so it was good for me). I loved the naan. The hakka noodles were a hit. Everything we had was good. But more so, what would make me come back, if not the food, is the interiors. Its a beautiful place to enjoy a nice dinner with loved ones. The ambiance makes up the place. Staff were nice. Hoping to try more items soon.

Zauq Restaurant is a gem Their beef bihari kebab is absolutely delicious so tender and flavorful. The chicken karahi has a light, tangy flavor that s perfectly balanced and unique. The chicken soup was warm and comforting, while the chicken lollipop was crispy and full of flavor. The malai chicken tikka was a standout creamy, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The portions were amazing, generous and perfect for sharing.The service was prompt and friendly, and the ambiance was amazing perfect for enjoying a great meal with family or friends. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves flavorful food and a great dinning atmosphere.

People eating in Pakistani restaurants can get very uncomfortably loud and ruin the experience for others. There needs to be something playing in the background to cut out the noise of people around you at Zauq. There were tables around us and these people were laughing and yelling ON TOP OF THEIR LUNGS during our entire stay, which made it very hard for us to sit there peacefully. I understand playing music might not be a halal option but at least some halal drum beats or something can be played in the background to help with the noise. We complained to the waiters/servers but we were told there is no background music in this restaurant.

Called for a take away order. It seemed like the person who picked up the call was least interested to have a conversation. However, my husband and I understand that maybe he was having a busy day or a bad day. The main disappointment was there packaging. We had ordered Nihari and they packed it in there paper bag and the box of nihari was wrapped in the plastic wrap which caused leakage of oil from Nihari and caused stains in the car . They should use proper plastic bags or proper bags and boxes which wont make the paper type container oily which could cause more hassle and messy to carry.

Idk what s the hype for 5 star? Either I went in on a off day or ppl have very low standards of when it comes to 5 star food. This was my second try at this place first time i went they couldn t seat 2 ppl cuz I didn t make a reservation, this time i called, and I was told we can t reserve anything cuz you wnat to come in 30 mins? What? Its first come first serve they can t take my reservation. Pls tell me how this interaction leaves starts off with a positive? Than food was at max 3.5 stars. U can see the pics of what we ordered, Soup flavor was good but u can taste it had too much corn starch, fish pakora had excellent seasoning, but fish I think was frozen before frying cuz it wasn t cooked all the way thru, the chow mein kids loved but there was hardly any chicken, chicken satay was excellent and chicken baryani was only liked by one of my kid. There was no diet coke or pepsi product, no ice or sparkling water, food was brought out in timely manner and it was beautiful ambiance. I have expressed all this to the guy who was checking us out, InshAllah I hope they take this positively, InshAllah will give it another try when I am in town and will update my review accordingly.

After reading multiple reviews & with so many ratings we decided to try Zauq for my birthday dinner. We were amazed by the decor & ambience. We ordered Chicken Tikka, Fish Tikka, Volcano Chicken along with garlic naans & Lamb biryani.. The order took too long to be prepared & served. The fish tikka had no flavours. Chicken tikka lacked proper marination & were a bit dry. Volcano Chicken was good. The naans are to chewy & thick. Lamb biryani was decent. Now comes the billing part, where they charge 10% gratuity on any party size. We were a party size of 4, & at the bill desk they informed 10% gratuity is compulsory for all. If they are going to charge for it, it should clearly be mentioned & informed beforehand. May not visit it again in future

This is one of the best authentic Pakistani restaurants ive been to. The workers are very nice and respectful, the food is great, and the decor is beautiful! Very different and unique and also so elegant and nice. I would recommend this to people as I come here quite often and every time, the food is delicious. Some of the best things ive had is the sizzling cast iron plate that comes with beef, kebabs, and tandoori chicken, and the fish pakora is one of my favourites.
