"Even for Buckhead, everything about Zakia is excessive. Their Roman pillars, gold accents, and “more is more” design philosophy remind us of an old MTV Cribs episode. So Mondays get a glow-up when you’re dining under multiple chandeliers. But all that takes a backseat when Zakia’s excellent Lebanese staples (like fried kibbeh, impossibly fresh baba ganoush with pomegranate seeds, and crispy batata harra) hit your table." - jacinta howard, juli horsford
