This was our first time at Zana and it did not disappoint! We had reservations for 6 PM and were seated immediately. It wasn’t super crowded (I’m assuming because of the Super Bowl) but it was a very nice, chill atmosphere and the decor was super cool. The hostess and waiter were very kind and attentive and the drinks were delicious. We got the oven baked feta as an appetizer and it was so good, probably some of the freshest pita I’ve ever had. For main courses we got the t bone, filet, a side of fries and added scallops. Everything was cooked to perfection! The steaks were tender and flavorful with the zip sauce, the scallops were soft and buttery – probably some of the best I’ve ever had, and the fries were perfectly crispy and warm. It was a pretty pricey meal, but the portions were better than I was expecting and the food was obviously incredible, 100% worth it. I would highly recommend to anyone and we will definitely be back!

What started as a normal dinner turned into one of the best nights we’ve had in a while. From the moment we walked in, we were treated unbelievably well.
We let the GM (Xhoni pronounced Johnny) surprise us all night and every dish delivered. The bronzini crudo was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. The seafood mix with calamari, shrimp, and clams in that tomato broth was outstanding and packed with flavor. The pastas were rich and satisfying, and the lamb chops had great depth. Each course was paired with white and red wines, which elevated the whole experience.
We were there nearly four hours and it honestly felt like we ate three dinners. Around 11pm the vibe shifted into more of a club scene, which made the night even more fun.
Food, energy, and hospitality were all on point. One of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Birmingham.

I’m an event planner and recently hosted a corporate holiday party at Zana, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. From contracting to planning to execution, every team member I worked with was incredible.
The food was spectacular. We chose a family-style menu for a group of just over 100 guests, and the portions were generous and beautifully presented. The staff was kind, attentive, and knowledgeable, making the entire evening feel seamless.
The venue itself is gorgeous, with a unique layout that’s perfect for events. We utilized all of the banquet rooms, transforming each space into a different interactive activity, and it was a huge hit with our guests.
If you’re looking for a top-notch restaurant for a special event, I can’t recommend Zana enough!!

Such a beautiful restaurant! Lorenc was an amazing waiter! He gave us a poloroid picture for our friend’s birthday and made a wonderful experience for us! Melanie was also so kind to us and welcoming! I really appreciate the kind service! Food was so amazing as well! I recommend The Zana Garden drink!

Wife and I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere a lot. I had the branzino, she had the scallops, both were delicious and bigger portions than expected. We were stuffed, but not too stuffed to share the Biscoff cheesecake!

We had the absolute BEST experience with our server, Chance! She went above and beyond for our bachelorette party — so attentive, kind, and genuinely fun to be around. The restaurant was wonderful too — they even let us come in early to decorate our table, which made the night feel so personal. The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was beautiful, the perfect setting for our celebration. Chance made sure we were always taken care of and truly added to the fun. We couldn’t stop talking about how amazing she was. If you’re lucky enough to have Chance as your server, you’re in for such a treat!

Quite easily a 5-star experience all around. Great ambience. Well-paced serving experience and presentation of dishes. Nice variety of dishes and well-priced. Service was fantastic – attentive, cordial, and down-to-earth. Angela was a lovely waitress throughout the evening. Small birthday celebration with sparkler candle and sign. Will easily come back here again for both casual dinners and celebrations.

Made an Open Table reservation to enjoy an early family dinner. Noticed the lovely interior setting with giant fresh flower bouquets in the dining area and ladies room and the professionally dressed staff formally standing in position and I was concerned we might be under dressed. However there were other casually dressed customers sitting at the bar. So many interesting choices on the menu. Both my husband and I went with the lamb chops and a roasted beet salad/ Caesar salad on the recommendation of our waiter and neither of us were disappointed. The complimentary fresh, warm ciabatta rolls with whipped butter were impossible to resist. My daughter ordered buttered noodles from the unwritten children’s menu, as well a calamari appetizer and a side of truffle fries. No room for dessert. Service was excellent, presented with big city formality.

We went to Zana in Birmingham for Valentine’s Day and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was romantic and classy, with beautiful decorations that made the night feel special without being over the top.
The food came out relatively quick, was fresh and hot, and everything tasted delicious. Nothing was cold or sitting out, you could tell it was prepared with care and served at the right time.
The service really stood out. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. We also had the chance to meet the managers, staff, and chef, and everyone was welcoming and kind.
For the quality of the food, service, and overall experience, the pricing felt reasonable. It’s definitely a higher-end spot, but you’re paying for the full experience, and it was worth it.
Zana truly delivered a 5-star experience. Great food, great service, fair pricing, and the perfect spot for a special night out. We’ll definitely be back.

Went for a holiday work party, so we had a private room. The atmosphere was amazing, I really liked the decor and lighting. The service was great and servers were funny and personable. The food was good but not “out of this world.” I had the salmon, no complaints but I wouldn’t say it was anything special. Overall good experience and would recommend going.
