This place was a huge dissapointment. My friends and I went there to eat on Saturday. Two of us were white and we were with an Indian family. When our turn came to be seated after 45min of waiting the manager refused to put two tables together in the middle of the shop. I said so you are going to sit people behind us first! He said yep! So my friends waited I refused to give him any business. My friend then noticed after the manager thought we left, he sat a nice white family together putting the same tables together he told us he couldn't do. My friend confronted him and said you will put the tables together for them and not us? He said yep! So my friend said im leaving, the manager said see ya! This makes me very sad that we still have this much prejudice still blatenly around. My friend has two children with him, they had to be made to feel not as good as the white people. I feel they should not still be allowed to be in business with this type of treatment of people. A very very prejuduce resturant!! I would never give them any business I'm spreading the word. I have a huge friend group with my organizations i belong to, they will be boycotting as well. Please don't encourage them by supporting their business!

I went to this shopping strip for a long time and never really noticed or paid attention to Zest. One day a friend took me and I was hooked. You enter into a crafty, trendy type store selling home decor and toys, purses, just to name a few. Everything is very unique. Once past the store, is a small comfy tea room type diningroom. The menu is short but everything is absolutely fresh and delicious tasting.
