This place is an enigma, its set in a dark side street, upstairs in what was an office, with dark brick walls and a view of power lines over Burwood highway, yet the food is outstanding. I have eaten many steaks in my time and this is hands down the best I have come across. The owner takes great pride in choosing the best quality steaks and cooks them to perfection on his grill. The service is quick and the menu simple, meat, meat and more meat. Here comes the criticism.. I feel the price, which I think last time I went was around $60 for an eye fillet, is a little much for a venue in the backstreets of east burwood, the bowl of fries is roughly around $14 for essentially what is some McCain frozen chips, totally insane. They have done away with BYO, which is such a shame, given their winelist isnt amazing. The other thing that really disappoints is the amazing potato salad they used to serve (I think it was Croatian), has been replaced with a small Japanese salad. The things that used to make this place so great, the free roasted peppers on arrival, free sauces, free bread etc have disappeared in favour or Miso soups, Japanese salads and high prices. Last time I came here was on a Saturday night and we were the only ones in there all night. I would be really sad if this placed closed its doors, I think they have forgotten their customer base and are confused about what they want to be. I hope they go back to their roots, or I fear they may not last another year.
Brilliant charcoal grill steak - a place for steak lovers. The combination of well balanced dry seasoning and desired doneness executed to maximise the taste of a red meat, and with a master chef behind the grill - Zagar has definitely perfected their steaks. I have been dining at Zagar over a dozen times and they have not failed me. A cosy restaurant, dark yet a calm vibe. However, their speciality in steaks limits the menu choices for those who want more varieties than steak cuts. Wanting a worthwhile experience without spending too deep? Zagar.

Since having experienced a steak cooked the way it should be at Zagars I can’t bring myself to eat a steak anywhere else. Hands down the best quality meat cooked to perfection every time. A friend brought me here a while back and now this is a weekly tradition for me.
