Went my mate this afternoon for a brunch. It was my second visit to Zara's. My first visit was years ago. I was extremely thankful to my mate to take me to Zara's and we took time out of our busy schedules today. Surprisingly all the staffs knew my mate as he works for Blend. So, we sat and ordered...

The place mat menus are very nice with a pic of what the dish looks like. I liked the seafood I had. The cocktails are innovative though a bit... More

One of the few places in Chennai which remains open till 2.30am and this is what makes this place out of the ordinary given that most places in Chennai shut by 11.30 - 12. The ambience of this place is relaxed, there's no dress code what so ever, music is too loud and you may have to shout to be... More

Zara Tapas Bar is a happening place where the in crowd of Chennai go there for a bite to eat or a drink before hitting the club scene. If you are looking for a quiet place do not go there. There is a house DJ that spins tunes and he he has people up and dancing away on the aisles.... More

Perhaps the greatest criticism of Chennai's restopubs, is that they're more 'pub' than 'resto', thus questioning the appropriateness of wearing the 'restopub' tag. Zara, however, begs to differ in that it well and truly lives up to its definition. With an array of treats (a table-mat-styled menu of tapas is replete with photographs of what you're about order), there's no... More
