Okay - so loved Zacs BEFORE it changed ownership and they allowed the new owners to continue to trade under their name and completely destroy it! So it was with some trepidation we tried Aura - was it the same owners that bought Zacs who had just changed their name to ditch the reputation or was it new owners? Good news - it IS new owners - just on a month now. Was a big, big fan of the original Zacs - so these guys at Aura have gone with the authentic Greek cuisine and also added in some Middle Eastern stuff - real twist to the menu now! Partner and I went with the authentic - figured if they got that right it was safe to come back and try the new stuff! Moussaka was fabulous and the Lamb Souvlaki the same. Service was good, attentive, but not helicopter hovering - good personalities in the wait staff - prices what you would expect - certainly not “pricey” with some very reasonable specials on the board. Come on all ya folk that loved the old Zacs - give these guys a try - it is actually really good and they deserve our support! (Just in case ya wondering have no idea who owns it and no affiliations whatsoever with this restaurant - apart from being a hungry local that loves good food and good service!)
We've been to Zac's several times for a quick dinner on a nice summer night. The food is nice enough for the price and is tasty. We often get the seafood platter and share and it's plenty of food for the both of us. It's nice to sit outside by the lake and watch the sun set in the distance and the sky change color. If you live locally you should give them a try for a nice casual meal with family or friends.
New owners are doing a great job fantastic food and very friendly staff. Zaks is back :)
Great view of the lake and great atmosphere.
will most definitely be back
Went to Zak's last night for dinner. Ordered the meat and seafood combo for 2. Meat was cooked to our request and seafood was delightful. Chips were golden and crunchy and the salad was dressed well. Really couldn't fault anything. Also the water was filtered (no gross table water). Staff were friendly and provided good service. George Thomolaris
Came here on a weekday for lunch with the family.
it wasn't too busy, but still got a few tables occupied, therefore, we still manage to get the outside seatings. (is outdoor, but covered, love it cause wants the breeze but bear can't stand with the reflection from the water).
3 of us ordered seafood plates for 2, and a side salad and, of course, two gelatos at the end to finish. (just disappointed that they didn't put effort in the dessert serving....only one scoop each in a bowl, but well, it tastes good).

We had decided mid week that we wanted to go out for dinner on Friday night but to go somewhere different. Well Zak's was the choice, we like Greek food, the Zomato rating was ok and we almost never go to West Lakes.
The entry was very unappealing but opens out to bright area looking out over the lake. You can sit inside or outside, the outside area being well protected from the elements.
The menu had all the Greek standards, we started with saganaki with quince paste and some meatballs. I tried the quince paste with the cheese but did not enjoy it. The cheese itself was very good. The meatballs were very nice.
For mains I shared a mixed grill for two with Michele. It was made up of lamb chops, pork and chicken souvlaki and chevapchichis. They were nice but it could have done with some more elements I.e. Greek sausage. The two condiments were tzatziki and an uninteresting BBQ sauce. Salad was very nice, a cross between a Greek and garden salad. The chips were good, crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside and they were slightly flavoured. One thing that I normally expect from a Greek restaurant is that the servings are large and they were just average.
The others dining with us found there meals to be ok.
The staff were nice, knew about the items on the menu.
In summary, decor was fine (a couple of the plates were showing signs of age) , service was good and the food was generally good. Would return if in the area but would not make the trip specifically.
Been almost a decade since eaten here and and tonight it was simply amazing everything was perfect the food omg was tasty and the service was AAA++. The sharing platters was perfect for the group of ten we had a meat and seafood platter and was very filling huge drink menu and very good kids menu. I would highly recommend people try this place out👌
Location on the lake is excellent and so is the food- large serves too (no need for entrees). Service is quite good too. We will definitely be back.
I've been here many a time for functions and dinners and have always enjoyed the experience. Last visit we ordered a selection of entrees and they were all delicious even the chicken livers which I hadn't been excited about. Felt like dipping crusty bread in the sauce but only had pita bread which doesn't absorb! The mains are huge and definitely worth the price. Nothing disappointed and the service is professional and attentive. The best part is the view of the lake and on a nice day an outdoor table is a must.
Although everyone seemed to be served before us even though we were there before them, the food was on point. Will be returning
