Book NowAbout ZA ZA TA Bar and Kitchen
ZA ZA TA flips Middle Eastern dining on its head with vegetable-driven plates bold enough to satisfy any diehard meat-eater. Fortitude Valley diners head to this energetic, tropically appointed room specifically for the multi-course tasting menu. The kitchen leans hard into smoke and spice—charred baba ghanoush, fragrant kofta, and smoky BBQ cauliflower shawarma roasted down to tender richness. Behind the bar, house-crafted mocktails and botanical pours provide a crisp counterweight to the layered mezze. Dinner winds down over a pistachio baklava ice cream sandwich cut with tart rosella jam.
- Plant-Based Middle Eastern: Charred baba ghanoush, spiced kofta, and BBQ cauliflower shawarma deliver hearty textures and deep spice without animal proteins.
- Inventive Tasting Menus: Multi-course vegetarian and vegan tasting spreads offer balanced pacing and generous portions for celebratory tables.
- Craft Cocktails & Mocktails: A dedicated zero-proof mixology program shakes up thoughtfully layered mocktails alongside house cocktails.
