Stopped in for lunch last week. I had the jerk burger with mango salsa on it. The sweet and spicy together were a great combination. I am a fan and will definitely be going back! read more

This place is always so good! The best jerk chicken you could eat! I always get the jerk chicken salad, wrap or quinoa wrap. It's not fast food but so worth the wait! read more

Is the food good? Yes. Is it worth $22 per plate? No. Is the customer service good? Not really. Get ready to spend some coins at this place. They also almost always run out of sides during dinner time, and that's the time you need to have all options available. Customer service is okay. I ordered ahead online at 7:15 and the wait was supposed to be 35 minutes. I got there in 45 minutes to give a little extra time because I know it can be busy. They call when your order is ready for pick up, regardless if it's online or over the phone (I've done both). After waiting an hour, I called them to see how much longer and the host stated my food just came out. When I go inside to get it, she tells me that for online orders they don't call and that the Toast app stated my food would be ready at 8pm. It was 8:15 when I called and that's when my food was ready. If I'm doing my math correctly, that's 15 minutes after it was supposedly going to be ready. Not pleased with the customer service and again, for $22 per plate, def not worth it to continue to be a repeat customer. read more

The jerk turkey burger with mango salsa was outstanding. First time at this cozy neighborhood spot. Clean and efficient. The staff was very helpful. Will be checking the website for daily specials. Glad to have some healthy and different options without going to Jamaica Plain or Boston. I will be back! read more

Absolutely no complaints, food is always flavorful and you can tell its made with love. I order the jerk burger hmmmmmmm it's topped with jerk aioli and its has mango salsa (or pineapple either way it was devine). The burger was well seasoned. I hate bland food and nothing here is that. I recommend the coconut chicken, it's served with sweet chili dipping sauce but its not the generic sweet chili that every restaurant is serving. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable. I'm sad that I moved from the area but anytime I am in the area I will definitely stop by. read more

My taste buds are very satisfied. The food was amazing. The Thai rice and jerk chicken was delightful. I'm very satisfied. Will be back very soon. read more

Adorable, quaint hole in the wall-- tiny little place that packs a big punch! The food is delish, so far I have tried the chicken with fettacini and the jerk chicken wrap-- both great. I have also had a cupcake! (you can't resist, they are so nicely displayed-- and quit delish) The hostess/counter woman is the nicest... big smile, and happy to help. Glad I found this gem in Hyde park... best lunch place around! read more

Stopped here for lunch on a work from home day and SO HAPPY I DID! I had the jerk salmon wrap and it blew my mind. Spicy, sweet, flavor magic! I know I will crave this in my future and can't wait to go back and try other items! Yum! Server was super nice, chef in the back came out and I gave him a huge thumbs up. read more

The food here is amazing. I've lived nearby for a few years and only recently started coming. Ever since, I make it a lunch stop once a week. The fries are perfection, thin and not at all greasy. The two wraps I keep ordering over and over are the jerk salmon and the Asian shrimp wrap. My friend gets an amazing looking salad with shrimp. It's small and the food is cooked fresh so it takes time. Highly recommend it! Ps the cutest little boy helps wait tables and is very attentive read more

Omg I've been hearing about this place for years. I always drive by it every time. My friends on my social media are always posting and talking about this place. So today lol I said let me check it for myself and see what the hype is about? I'm glad I did these people are so creative with their meals and sandwiches. My friend tried a Jerk Salmon burger with sweet potato french fries. I had a Cajun Chicken and Shrimp pasta. He loved his meal and I couldn't understand why my meal was so Damm good. I was looking at their menu they had a Creole Wrap, Jerk chicken Caesar salad, like food combinations that you never heard of but it's good. Oh and customer service was amazing they automatically knew that we were new here at this restaurant and ask us if this was our first time here. They made us feel so welcome. I will say though the place is a little small so seating can be limited. I definitely will be back and try other stuff on the menu. This place is more like a lunch place. read more

I just about died from bliss eating the fried shrimp with sweet chili sauce. Amazing food...

Gotta LOVE this place. I had the Asian Wrap which is my idea of perfection. It's a perfect blend if sweet/spicy that I love. The food is fresh and delicious- I gave 4 stars only because my plantain was cooked kinda black for my taste. Still great spot for a 'home-cooked' meal. read more

ZAZ - Asian chicken wrap and fried plantains - New American Near Me - Hyde Park, Massachusetts

Food at Zaz is off the charts - chef is pretty much a genius.

Food is good. Creative menu. The horrible service trumps it all, and I will not be back. I have been to Zaz approximately 7 times, and each time I say it will get better, but it doesnt! Between not answering the phone, to not getting your order right, to this repetitively happening. I hope they can get it together... read more

Great food. Friendly customer service. I've only had takeout, absolutely no complaints!!! I like being called when my order is ready for pick up. read more

Amaaaaazing food!!! Always fresh. The turkey burger is phenomenal

Was recommended by my barber "The Private Office" down the street. The food Will have you feeling like you're back home in the islands. The jerk Salmon Burger is delicious! The food is mouth watering, the meat well done, service great. This venue deserves a larger building. Hidden gem located in Hyde Parks bussling downtown district read more

The food was AMAZING! which totally made up for where they lacked elsewhere. The menu was diverse. Lots of good stuff to choose from. I went in to order and there was one counter with a server who was waiting tables and taking take out orders. She couldn't keep up. There was no place really to wait for take out orders, which appears to be their primary business. They had a special board up but it was difficult to figure out what was what. Not very organized at all. I ordered a wrap which was $10 with no sides. All the food was really fresh so I thought it was worth the price. But it took about 30 minutes from the time I walked in to order until I left with my food. No very quick for a take out place. I think if you ordered ahead of time it would avoid the in house wait. And parking is always an issue in this neighborhood. read more

Oh my gosh the food is on point here. When I walk in the door I feel like I am at home, from the friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere everything is just right. Customer service is throw the roof come by for the experience. read more

It's been a while since I've been to ZAZ , so I was really pleased to see that the quality of their food and customer service was just as good ( if not better) from when they first opened some years ago! It's small but such a cute, welcoming, neighborhood spot to grab a bite. They now serve wine too so that's another plus! Their servers are always sooooooo nice and helpful. The food is packed with flavor- Caribbean flavor with a twist. We ordered the ZAZ fish sandwiich, Bbq Salmon wrap, and Jerk chicken wrap. I should also mention that it took us a while to make a FINAL decision on what to order because EVERYTHING SOUNDED DROOLISCIOUS. Their portions are perfect too! I haven't tried everything on their menu but i havent had anything disappointing. Definitely a spot worth checking out! read more

Zaz continues to impress! My family goes fairly often for their wonderful grass-fed burgers. Sometimes we try other things like the shrimp tacos on special -- amazing! I can't wait to try the "hangover burger" (with egg and mixed-in sausage). I hope they continue to use and feature sustainably-sourced ingredients like the grass-fed burgers. read more

Amazing food! I missed my friend's bday and decided to take her out there. The oxtail with rice was delicious. It was perfectly cooked and the meat fall right out of the bone. The portion was very generous but somehow I devoured it. She had the oxtail curry with rice which was very nice too. Oh and the coconut shake was the perfect balance in between a drink and dessert. We pledged to go back soon enough. If you are in the area or not and love Caribbean food with a twist then you should definitely venture out there and try this place. read more

I can't wait to go back to Zaz. great food and great people.

Service took a little long but the product was florear. Had the Carribean Jerk chicken wrap. Just enough kick to add some spice but not too much.very flavorful. Sides are a la carte so be sure to ask for a side. Small intimate setting with good people. read more

I have ordered food from here and I've never been disappointed until my last two visits. The first is minor, it was already late and they were near closing time when my bf and I ordered food -- I had the jerk salmon with a side of sweet potato fries, the burger was not all that like people say it is & the fries were completely BURNT and not edible. My second disappointment which will most likely be the cause of me not ordering from here again, was this weekend. I was super excited because I haven't had food from here in a while and all I could think about was the BNF wrap which is really good. So that's what I ordered while my bf ordered the lobster Mac n cheese & the chicken and waffles. We both shared the meals. A little while into eating the chicken I find a long strand of thin hair in it, so I threw it out. I then continued eating my BNF wrap which was in a separate container... only to find a completely different hair in that too (this one was short and thick almost like facial hair). I completely lost my appetite and even threw up. :( super disappointed read more

Food has been going downhill. I ordered a jerk chicken wrap and they out chicken fat and cartilage in my wrap. CARELESS. Also there was sign in the front by the juices it stated something regarding giving out free food "we do not give out free food #keepyourGHETTOquestions...."etc. You fucking coon ass . Wtf do u classify as ghetto. As a black owned business how dare you!!!!!humble yourself. Disgusting and offensive. Won't be returning read more

Food is great! Owner is cool and takes pride in his work. Wish they were open on Sunday though.

This place is always up to par great food cheap. Everytime I go here I feel like I'm in the Caribbean eating great eats.

I came by ZAZ today for the first time, and wasn't too sure what to expect. It wasn't busy, particularly considering it was lunchtime. I ordered a fish sandwich to-go, and was told it'd take 20-25 minutes, which seemed long, but no matter. I took a walk around the block and came back about 20 minutes after placing my order... where I proceeded to wait another 15+ minutes for my order to come out. 35 minutes to make a sandwich, you just can't do that for lunch. There's a sign inside that says "this isn't fast food, it's fresh food". Well they're not kidding about the first part. You don't know what 35 minutes is until you wait that long for someone to make a sandwich. Anyway I finally got home, and it turns out they're right about the second part of that statement as well; the sandwich and homemade fries were very good. In fact, remarkably good. If you're going for lunch, do yourself a favor and call ahead. read more

Believe the negative comments others have posted. We've been coming here since it opened a few years ago and I'm sad to say that the food has really fallen off and the menu has become stagnant. The chef used to have all these original dishes and was always switching up the menu with new and interesting menu items. As the years have gone by he hasn't updated the menu and has hired some really questionable staff. This visit might be my last. The waitress, although very pretty, lacked any gray matter underneath her gorgeous head of curly hair. She wasn't rude or friendly..she was apathetic...and the service was pathetic (see what I did there? Lol) When she asks is if we are ready to order she tells us to wait and that she'll be back. ???? Why ask us if you're ready if you aren't ready? Then she just stared at us waiting for us to break the silence with our order. I was pretty livid but my husband, being the adorable man he is, unsurprisingly kept giving her the benefit of the doubt *eyes rolling* Unfortunatly, she's not the first one like that we've dealt with. Others have gotten orders wrong or forgot to even enter the order. Not good when the food takes forever to make. The food has was also a dissappointment. My husband and I have ordered the same dishes every time we go (Thai basil fried rice and chicken and shrimp fettuccini) and last night we commented on how they are just not as good as they used to be. My advice to the owner is, 1: retrain your staff or hire new ones. Customer service is so important and 2: don't get comfortable. Go back to the old days when the taste of the food mattered more than the presentation. read more

An intimate atmosphere with good food, great service and good people. Zaz is a gem with a great selection of food options, creative cupcakes and teas. Great place. Can't wait for their grand opening Monday, Oct 1st, 2012. read more

Chef Olrie Roberts has done a great job orchestrating & harmonizing ingredients that sing melodies from heaven in my belly Chef Roberts is very professional yet very personable. I'm going to work my way through his menu this Summer. T. Crook read more

Zaz is definitely a hidden gem. The menu list is unique and well worth the wait... The wait...You will wait...a long long time. I ordered a salmon wrap and it took almost an hour. However, I realized that if you ordered take out, it will be faster. Aside from the wait, the food is very good, very reasonable priced and the ambiance and pleasant. read more

Excellent food an interesting combination of Caribbean and Asian . We so like what they are doing at ZAZ that he will be serving up something very special for our event schedule to take place on 8/16/2014 at Moseley's on the Charles in Dedham, MA www.BostonCarnivalVillage.com folks the food a the best. read more

Zaz is a pretty cool place, but the food is a little pricey and their summer hours are silly, but wait until next week and they'll be more reasonable. read more

Great food. They catered at my brother's wedding in 2013 and all the guests loved the food!!

Once a year I order lunch for my child's teachers from ZAZ as a year end appreciation gift. I have never been disappointed. All of the teachers enjoyed their lunches and some order their "favorites". The menu is fun and diverse and the food is tasty. If you are in the neighborhood, stop by. read more

The food is good yes!! But... The way their business is set up is weird. They have barbershop hrs, they close during mid-day and reopen 2hrs later. So if you hungry! Go somewhere else. A bit pricey. But if you have guests in town and wouldn't mind to be fancy, sure. I suppose most of their employees were new. So I'll brush off my first bad experience. See y'all in couple months, when the disappointment is out of my system. read more

Zaz! I love ya. Great food usually order my food take out but definitely a great spot!

Came into your place and sat down for dinner. The waitress took our order and some 40 minutes later another waitress asked us what we were waiting for. It seemed obvious to me that since we had sat at a table and removed our coats that we were eat in customers. This second waitress told us that our food had been sitting in an area for take out. She then told our initial waitress whom I observed pick up three take out boxes go into the back area and subsequently return with an appetizer and two entrees that were ice cold. When I knowingly asked her if those were items that had been in the take our area she lied and said no. Needless to say I was disappointed and unimpressed with your establishment. And just to note, my gentleman friend did pay the tab and tip the waitress 20 % much to my chagrin. read more
