Consistently praised by reviewers
Filet mignon kebab
“The filet mignon was the best. It was tender, flavorful, and easily became our favorite dish of the meal.”

“The lamb shank was one of the highlights of the meal. Slow cooked for six hours and unbelievably tender. The sauce from the lamb shank over the rice was absolutely incredible and full of deep flavor.”
Halloumi with honey
“The halloumi cheese rolls. Adding honey takes them to another level. The balance between the salty cheese and the sweetness of the honey is absolutely perfect.”

The little things that matter
Beyond expectations
Warm, Welcoming Staff
Across multiple visits and both locations, guests consistently note that the team carries itself with genuine professionalism and warmth — making customers feel appreciated rather than simply served.
Servers Who Go the Extra Mile on the Menu
Although ordering is handled via QR code, staff proactively step in to walk guests through the menu and answer questions, ensuring no one feels left to figure things out alone.
Generous, Honest Portions
Dishes arrive with noticeably substantial amounts of food — plates packed with meat, hearty sides, and full-flavoured accompaniments — so guests leave feeling the value matches what they paid.
Food That Arrives Quickly Once Seated
Despite high demand and a busy dining room, the kitchen moves efficiently so that once guests are at their table, the wait for food is short and the experience feels well-paced.
Thoughtfully Crafted Drinks
From spiced iced tea and banana date shakes to cardamom-forward house tea and fruit refreshers, the beverage menu is treated with the same care as the food — offering something distinct beyond standard options.
Signature Finishing Touches on Dishes
Small details — like the pairing of honey with halloumi cheese rolls or the lamb shank sauce ladled over rice — show a deliberate attention to how flavours interact, elevating familiar dishes into memorable ones.
Consistent Quality Across Locations
Guests who have visited more than one Mazra location report that the flavour, freshness, and standards hold steady wherever they go — a sign of disciplined kitchen culture rather than a one-off experience.
Flexible Seating Options
With indoor dining, front outdoor seating, and a rear outdoor area, the restaurant accommodates different preferences and group sizes — giving guests a choice rather than a single fixed environment.
Tips for your first visit
Make the most of your visit
Join the waitlist early
Mazra is very popular, so add your name to the waitlist before you arrive to reduce your time waiting for a table.
Expect a 30-minute wait
Even at off-peak times like 2 PM, a wait of around 30 minutes is common, so plan your visit accordingly.
Order via QR code
Ordering is done through a QR code at the table, though staff are friendly and happy to walk you through the menu if you need help.
Grab water and tea yourself
The restaurant is mostly self-service for drinks like water and tea, so help yourself rather than waiting for a server.
Try the outdoor seating
In addition to indoor dining, there is outdoor seating both at the front and rear of the restaurant, giving you more options if the inside feels crowded.
Add honey to the halloumi
Order the halloumi cheese rolls with honey — the contrast between the salty cheese and the sweetness of the honey takes the dish to another level.
