Lovely cafe, quite big with different seating options. Service was fast and ordering can be done using QR code. Lots of gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options.

*Gluten free review* The dedicated gluten free menu was very easy to order from and my placemat was marked as gluten free which is always reassuring. I had the Raisukaree with tofu and it was delicious. The staff and manager were extremely helpful; I felt safe and catered for as a coeliac dining here. Thank you for a great experience!

My self and my Fiancee have been going to Zizzi's in Staine for the past 2 years as my fiancee is GLUTEN and DAIRY FREE. Without fail, every month we go. My fiancee has her food brought to our table first & the management (Natalie & Ritesh) always get our order right, to the point where we don't have to mention the allergens as they know. The kitchen team cook the food to perfection and my fiancee always enjoys her food. Each month we try our best to remember to leave a review but ive not mentioned the GLUTEN & DAIRY before but i feel that it deserves to be mentioned when not only the kitchen team but always Ritesh & Natalie (management) do an amazing job. ask anyone with allergens, its difficult nowadays to find a restaurant that can cater to your needs. however at Zizzi's in Staines.. when my fiancee has a smile on her face because of the food and the service... that makes me happy. We will be in again on 30th April with 2 friends (early wedding gift to us) and again we will be in on 4th May (wedding celebration) as we get married on 3rd May. we decided last night to go Zizzi's (21/04/25) .. It was explained to us that they had an issue with the gas, earlier at around 5/6pm... We were happy to wait for them to look after the customers waiting for food. The treatment (verbal) both Natalie & Ritesh received from a few customers was shocking, they always go above and beyond when looking after the customers and they dont deserve the negative response they get back. My fiancee & myself have 15+ years of experience in the food & drink industry so we understand and appreciate how hard they work to treat every table the same and go above expectations. Lastly, a mention for the kitchen team. With the restaurant having an open kitchen, you see the chefs working, prepping and cooking the food. cooking with a smile and always cleaning after. *time to lean, time to clean* ... when the kitchen team are not busy mastering up your favourite dish, they will be cleaning. not once have we seen them standing around looking bored. Please see that this gets passed on to the management team.

On a grey and cold Wednesday evening we bestowed to Staines and struggled to find a restaurant on the high street. Nothing was really appealing to us as we wanted to try something new. After aimlessly walking around looking at different menus on different windows we noticed a convert pub. So we ventured towards it total amazement and found it was a Turkish restaurant. On first appearance on the outside it can easily be missed as we had never noticed it for the last 4 years it’s been open. Nevertheless, the inside looks great with its rustic look. Tables are evenly spaced, it’s not like you sit so close that you’re involved in others conversation. Even on a grey Wednesday evening every other table had a few people there and it was pleasant atmosphere. We walked to the front desk and immediately were attended to. A female approached us and seated us quickly even tho we had no booking. They also cater to gluten free which is a massive point for myself. We were left for around 15-20 minutes which was ample amount of time to find out our drinks, starters and mains. Server came over to us took our order - garlic prawns - lamb on humous. Mains - a mixed grill for two but the kofta was put to the side as this wasn’t gluten free. Starters - garlic prawns more tomato’ based than garlic but still wasn’t bad. We enjoyed it Lamb and humous - this was actually the best for me for the night. Really good. Mains - the mixed grill - so when it arrived on our table the server tried to explain to us that the kofta is on a separate plate but it is gluten free. She explained that it’s normally gluten free but she doesn’t know why it isn’t now. This was very confusing and could be very dangerous but I didn’t go near it. The mixed grill otherwise was Luke warm when it came to us and 5 minutes became cold. The taste was great, there was no issues around the taste of any of the meats. What let them down was the temperature of the food. We complained about the temperature of the food to a male server to went straight to the chef and showed his dissatisfaction which was loud which everyone heard. This was a little unsettling but at the same point the server was actually sticking up for his customers which was very refreshing. The server returned to us and before we could even say that we are happy to pay but just wanted raise it to their attention the server said that they will make a new lamb cutlet grill dish. They was very generous and shows that the restaurant really care about their customers. We paid for our food and left. Overall Service is three. Good but at times questionable Food is three. Taste really good but arrived cold Atmosphere is four. Great place for family dinner Price is reasonable. We paid £66 for two.
