“ Went to Zaz for a testing for our wedding. Our server was very nice. I had a mimosa slush I believe it was mango it was sooo delicious. We tried the salmon hush puppies w hadvthe option of chipotle or tamarind sauce. I'm a spicy girl and the chipotle was in point! We also had the macaroni and cheese which is super decadent and gourmet if you add lobster its to die for. We also had the jerk chicken and bbq jerk very authentic you could taste that it was grilled. Chef was very nice and accommodating with the catering menu. I would reccomend for you next wedding or event ”
“ I ordered Zaz for a corporate function in the North End on 3/5/25, placing the order the Thursday prior. The response was immediate—Sherri and her staff were able to accommodate my request, consider allergies, and make adjustments so I could maximize our selections without going over budget. The delivery was on time, and the food was well kept during travel, ensuring none of our crispy options lost their integrity. And the food ... SLAMMIN'! I was so pleased with their service that I had to write a review. We look forward to working with Zaz again! ”
