Visted Zara’s kitchen for lunch today and would definitely recommend. Clean restaurant with attentive staff and service. Good price point for serving size, we’ll definitely be back!
The most amazing experience in Moonee Ponds . We went for the 4 courses, All courses were well explained and tasted first class, Thank You to the chef for making us explore our taste buds. The waitress Jenny is very attentive she looked after the four of us and our dietry requirements as one of us is vegan. Had a lovely chat at the end of our meal with Jenny. Loved the food. Keenly looking forward to my next visit there.
Held my family function here, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They were courteous and helpful. All of the food came out at the same time and was great quality and good value! Highly recommend, lovely place
Just had a lovely family lunch, food was excellent and service great too. We’ll be back soon. I had pasta risotto pizza and dessert and loved it all.
Zara’s Kitchen is a Northern gem of Moonee Ponds – a wholesome family-run Italian restaurant named after the owners’ daughter, Zara, serving up hearty Italian food that is not only incredibly delicious, but also affordable and fresh. Located near Italian hubs of Melbourne, Zara’s Kitchen is THE definition of a family restaurant that delivers hard competition to the nearby Lygon Street Italian venues of the Melbourne northside. Melbourne has perhaps one of the strongest Italian food scenes in the world, so any Italian restaurant has tough competition!
WOW!
This restaurant is great, it got everything what a favourite restaurant should have.
First the Food is awesome, I had a prawn linguine and couldn’t stop myself from eating the whole plate, it was just to tasty!
The Atmosphere In Zara’s Kitchen is lovely as well, it’s a beautiful family Business and you can feel the love in every direction.
I can recommend Zara’s Kitchen to everyone who likes good Italian Food and enjoys a good Glas of wine.
Zaras Kitchen will be from now on my new favourite Italian Restaurant.
Really visited such a great restaurant after ages. The hospitality and the ambience was good. Moreover, the best part was food. It was tempting and delicious.
Zara’s Kitchen is a family-owned Italian restaurant located in Moonee Ponds that serves authentic, delicious and stunning Italian dishes.
We came here on a Wednesday night at around 7:30pm - the venue was spacious, welcoming and very elegant. The restaurant was fairly quiet as it was a weekday but we have heard that the place is quite busy on the weekend.
We started off with the Bruschetta and the Soup of the Day which was the Chicken and Mushroom soup. For mains we had four-cheese Gnocchi, Roasted Pumpkin Pizza and the Lamb Ragu which was on the specials board. For dessert we had the Sticky Date Pudding.
The Bruschetta was presented very well and had a generous serving of tomato. The dish tasted delicious and the tomato was very fresh! The soup was definitely one of our highlights - it was full of flavour and there was a plentiful amount of both chicken and mushroom. We absolutely loved it.
The Gnocchi was incredible! Although there were four types of cheeses, they were not too overpowering and you could taste each one of them independently. I was extremely astonished at how beautiful that dish tasted. The Lamb Ragu was also tremendous. The lamb was cooked very well and the sauce really made the dish special.
We loved the pizza as well! The Roasted Pumpkin came with feta, mozzarella, toasted almonds, spinach, roquette and goats cheese drizzle. The ingredients worked very well together and although it was not wood-fired, it still tasted amazing.
The Sticky Date Pudding was AMAZING. We’ve been told that their pudding is extremely popular and one of their signature dishes and I could definitely see why! Although simple, it had a perfect consistency and the ice cream was a great accompaniment to the dish. It was a great way to end an amazing meal!
Zara’s Kitchen has been around for almost 2 years and has recently been granted their alcohol licence which is always great. From my experience, it definitely surpassed my expectations. We were delighted to be invited here and cannot wait to visit again when we’re back in Moonee Ponds!
We were invited to Zaras kitchen. It was 36 deg so happy to enjoy a fantastic cool comfy restraunt with lots of light and space too.
We were greeted by the owner and was starving! We started off with the bruschetta which was refreshing along with the haloumi salad that was very well balanced.
We could not go pass the vegetarian pizza and the creamy chicken pasta which was on point and full of flavour.
Zara now also have their liquor license so along with a glass of red this was a fanastic meal.
We were too full for dessert but we enjoyed a great refreshing ice coffee.
Nice place for food. I like the feeling in here which is very relaxing and very chill. Food was on point all the time and service was much pleasant.
