Live out of state and unfamiliar with Indian cuisine. Made arrangements to have wedding rehearsal dinner at Zaroka’s at suggestion of bride and groom. Owner Mahesh Pirthiani was very accommodating. The food, service, and atmosphere he and his staff provided for the event were excellent. Over and beyond expectations.

We had a fantastic experience at Zaroka on lunch at New Year’s Eve. The restaurant was clean and well distanced. We had the Momos and Tandoori aloo for appetisers which were very good. We then had the best ever falafels with hummus. The falafels were crunchy but mouth melting - just perfect! Then based on the manager’s recommendation we had the Jalapeno Goat cheese naan which was amazing too! The veg bombay noodles and paneer makhani (with lots of paneer!) were very tasty too. Five stars because - great food, nice ambience and friendly, warm service! We’ll definitely be back here.
