    Oxtail
    Hibah A.

    Went on a Saturday night with a friend of mine wasn't super crowded. My bartender was Pamela was very friendly and efficient. I had a chicken and shrimp empanada that was amazing!! The oxtail & rice and beans was delicious! Music was a tad loud but other than that everything was amazing. I also met the owner, I didn't get her name but go support this woman owned business.

    GRIOT AND PIKLIZ
    Charlis F.

    3.5 stars. I've never had Haitian food before and have wanted to try it for the longest. I opted for griot and pickliz and while I loved the flavors and idea, I think Zona's execution could use some refining. My main problem was that the griot was rock hard. I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to be, but if so I'm not a fan. The pickliz was delicious, as was the rice (seriously the rice was amazing). The plantains were lacking flavor. Overall I wasn't blown away but I'd certainly try this restaurant again.

    OXTAIL and FRESH SALMON MUSHROOM BLACK RICE and FRIED PLAINTAINS so bomb
    Imani S.

    I love this place because it makes me feel like I'm literally dining out of the country. It features different carribean favorites from all over. Like Jerk Chicken from Jamaica, They've got Haitian black rice, Dominican style oxtails, etc. On the menu there are actual little maps next to the food items. The service is nice, there is a little bit of a language barrier but the ladies are beautiful l. The ambience is normal in the day and like a club at night. But I guarantee you will be full and satisfied. I definitely recommend this spot

    Not so happy with this spot today. First time visiting after lunch hours. Went to celebrate with my people and was charged $14 for a shot of 1800. Which we bought 6 of btw lol and $11 for Patron. Never in my life heard of Patron being the cheaper shot. Was overcharged an additional shot of 1800 that we had to go back in to get a refund for. Food is still top tier but I really didn't expect those prices for a shot. Got charged gratuity for a table of 3 when we barely got service. Not happy.

    The food is amazing and the servers are so sweet & kind, can't wait to come again. The atmosphere is very welcoming.

    Empanadas

    My wife and I visited Zona for our date night on a Tuesday. I was intrigued by the menu, since it had several different cuisines from many Caribbean islands, from Jamaica, Haiti, Bahamas, & MANYYYYY more. The Parking: Free parking. Decent size lot. The Atmosphere: Zona is actually quite spacious. Due to COVID, all tables are separated with more than 6 ft. distance in between. There are also close to 3 or 4 booths to sit in, which look very "VIPish". It was chill vibes. They have great music playing while you feast. They also have several flat screens all over showing sports if there's a good game on. Zona has a stage as well, so I'm assuming they have live performances of some sort, but not sure how often due to Covid. Not only is there indoor seating, but outdoor as well. The Service: The service was Meh. Our waitress was VERY nice, but everything was so slow. Which made no sense, because it wasn't many people there. It took nearly 20 minutes for her to take our orders AFTER being seated. COVID: Hand sanitizer is provided at the entrance. All staff were wearing masks. The Food: Though everything looked good, I had to go with my heart and select the Jamaican Jerk Chicken, which came with rice & peas and plantains. Honestly, I've had better. The chicken tasted good, but it didn't taste like jerk, it tasted baked. It didn't even have a jerk flavor, but it was still good. I would've at least preferred some jerk sauce. It also wasn't spicy at all. The portion of chicken was rather small and per usual, overloaded with rice & peas. Shared Food: My wife and I shared the empeñadas & beef patties. DELICIOUS! This beef patty was probably the best beef patty I've ever had! I honestly wish I got more! VERRRRRY GOOD! The empañadas were also very good. Both came with different dipping sauces, but I like the beef patty for both the patty and the empeñadas. Overall, I'd like to come back and hope for a better experience. I'm giving Zona 3 stars for a one reason: The jerk chicken not tasting like jerk chicken & the super delayed service. Other than that, it wasn't that bad.

    OH MY!

    Ep. 113 of AntlantaEats Stumbled across this spot from ONE single pic!...The PAELLA CRÉOLE ! (Seafood rice, shrimp, lobster, clams, calamari, octopus) OH MY this serves 2-3 people but forget that! It's all MINE! The Mofonguito Trio was amazing as well. 1 steak, chicken, shrimp. It had a creamy taste w/ an amazing kick thanks to the lite Jalapeños. One of the things that stood out the MOST is that on the menu you are getting the different cultures for example...one item can be from or or even very diverse menu. Note: Friday night, Ladies (group of Four) get FREE Hookah & Mimoas. Yup they said that!!

    Empanadas
    Bruce K.

    Looking for somewhere for Valentines, I decided to take my lady here. I was looking for something different, something that had flavor and a different type of environment. To be honest, I saw a picture that said that Zona did Friday night jazz. I called them and asked if they did do jazz that Friday, and the response I got was that they did. Thus, we came here to enjoy the music and also eat some food. Keeping with Valentine tradition, we shared all of our food. We got a couple of appetizers and a main entrée. The empanadas and the sampler which came with variety of items from their appetizer menu. The empanadas were seasoned well and was bursting with the flavor. To be honest, the sauce itself is unnecessary as all the flavor was in the bites. Sadly, it's only one, but on the bright side it's pretty cheap ($2.50/each). Get 3 or 4 of these and you're pretty much full. The jerk chicken was great. It was on the spicier side, however I think the one thing that stood out on this dish was the rice. I mean, damn that rice was freaking flavorful. I hardly eat rice anymore (only at times when I give in) but this was hard to stop eating because of the flavor. Mix the rice in with the chicken and you have a bit of a spicy/flavor bomb going on in your mouth. The fried plantains were pretty normal, and a nice side along with the chicken. Lastly, the music. Remember I came here for jazz music right? What we got was a one man band, who sang and also disc jockeyed for himself? Yeah, it definitely wasn't jazz which was a little let down considering the person who I called said that there would be. I guess, there was a bit of confusion and language barrier there where she thought I was asking if there was just live music in general. The staff was great and friendly. We even got a rose and dipped chocolate strawberries (bit too sweet for my taste), which topped off a great evening/night. If they were to offer jazz music or something with a live band (and not a person who's playing songs off of a laptop), I would definitely come back. Even if there isn't, this place is a solid choice for eating Caribbean food.

    Grilled chicken breast
    Shelly P.

    Love this place. The service is ALWAYS top tier. The food ALWAYS delicious. I've been numerous times and I'm never disappointed. On this occasion I had the grilled chicken breast with onions. Those onions were cooked to perfection. Hubby had the Rabo (oxtail). And he loved it. He always gets it. I've also had the spicy shrimp and it's so good. Definitely a great spot to grab you some food and listen to music.

    Complementary strawberries on Valentine's day
    Vanessa N.

    Live music is advertised to start at 7pm on Friday. Maybe more like 7:30pm. The jerk chicken is a must have. It was such a good dish from the rice to the plantains to the chicken itself. So much flavor. Staff is super friendly.

    Kien H.

    So this establishment is actually pretty good. It's not overly priced, you can have some very reasonably priced items on the menu. They have some pretty good flavor to it as well. But that's what you would expect from a Caribbean spot. The drinks are good, not super strong, but not weak by any means either. I stuck with the jerk chicken. Because I feel like if I go to a Caribbean restaurant and then jerk chicken is bad, then everything else is not going to sit well with me either! But the jerk chicken was not super impactful when it came to spice but it had a good flavor to it. We came in and had about 30 people with us. And they were able to seat us in accommodate so that worked out really well and I appreciated that because it's hard to come in with that many people and expect somebody to see you and be prepared to take your order. Good customer service. Everybody is really friendly. I would go back.

    Food is good. Great service and the prices are fair but they do add 25% gratuity when dining in. FYI. Drinks are good, too!

    What could you improve? Definitely customer service! A bartender named "T" that worked here on…read moreWednesday evening around 4PM on 3/11/26. Girl please pray! I had gotten here around 4:30PM and went to the pool table, I had been waiting close to 15-20 minutes to be served. I just went to the bartender with a slicked back bun and wearing a burgundy shirt named "T" to ask for a drink since my friend had gotten there before me and said she had taken his order prior to me getting there. After waiting about 3 minutes at the bar, she approached me and rudely asked if I had been sitting by the pool tables. I replied and said "yes I'm sitting near the pool tables" and she responded rudely again and said she couldn't take my order and the server sitting in my section would take it. I had told her "okay, well I have been sitting here for a while waiting to be served and I wanted to order a drink" and she responded and said "well we didn't see you over there, go back to your table and I'll get your server" The server named Dom, took my order and I asked him for her name since he either saw/heard what happened. Bless his heart for trying to rectify the situation by bringing the food out quickly and being more pleasant. What makes the story worse, is that this bartender (after she yelled at me) went back to the pool tables where we were sitting to take away plates for another table she had already served and they were sitting one table over from us. So she served them (males) and my friend (another male) and felt like she refused to help or serve me. Overall, I would come back but definitely steering clear of that rude bartender that was very sarcastic and had a nasty attitude. Definitely go there on weekend nights when different bartenders are working and aren't as rude.

    The vibe here is always chill with all types of people of varying ages…read more They have a ton of T.V.'s everywhere with different sports channels. I believe they have two pool tables and four or so dart boards. The pool is always popular, but the darts are almost always available the few times I've visited. The food and drink prices were pretty reasonable. Food quality is pretty average for bar food. You know how it is. Nothing of the extreme spectrum of gross or amazing, just right in the middle. I have a receipt from three years ago because I wanted to remember certain drinks that was ordered. Well... The Irish car bombs for instance has not increased in price: $7.50. I can't believe some of their prices haven't changed in years. But their drink selection has all sort of types and prices. I used to frequent the Peachtree Corners location, but that location has since closed down. This newer location is pretty spacious inside.
