I've eaten a few times at Azhar and everytime our group has enjoyed the meal, the ambience and the service. We had the hummus, shrimp and steak and the pistachio chou for dessert. All of the food was delicious and presented really well and at the right cadence to keep the tables full and lively but not too full. Highly recommend.

Good experience overall. Service was attentive, and accommodating. Food was ok. Found the saffron rice to be a bit under seasoned, and striploin was a bit overcooked. Dips, pitas, and chicken were all very good.

Hi Sean, thanks for taking the time to share your recent experience with us. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the service, chicken, pitas and dips, but are sorry to hear that there were elements of your visit that you felt we could improve upon.

Thought we would try this restaurant as part of Winterlicious. It did not disappoint. The tasting menu was delicious with ample serving size. We will definitely be back.

Food was absolutely the highlight. Timely, cooked perfectly and really well seasoned. Great work Chefs. Service was great but nothing over the top. 1h45m seating time was a bit of a surprise and a little short frankly considering the restaurant was 50% full when we left however with the quick service was exactly the amount of time we needed. Looking forward to going back and trying more of the awesome food.

I’d say my overall experience was mediocre. The food was outstanding, best chicken dish I’ve had in a long time. The service was poor, we received our first course food before drinks which is something that bothers me. The tables are so squished together I felt like I was eating with the table beside me.

Great spot. We had the Winterlicious menu, dishes were delicious and the portions were large. Service was fantastic. Acoustics were perfect and the overall ambience was lovely. Comfortable seating and lighting dimmed but you can still read the menu. Wine list is small but didn't disappoint. My martini was divine.
