We were excited to see a Pakistani restaurant and decided to give it a try. The food was ok (not bad, not good). The service was a bit subpar, even though they were not really busy. The presentation of the food is excellent, but there is not enough space on the table. The staff don’t seem to be trained on pronouncing the dishes, but we were able to point them out.
The food took about an hour (even tho they said 20mins). The appetizers and food all came together – pakoray are an easy appetizer and would have expected them to come out first.
What did we try?
Pakoray: the pakoray were excellent, and the paneer pakoray were just ok.
Gawalmandi machhli: this was excellent! Highly recommend the fish – it’s listed as an appetizer but order it as a main dish.
Tawa chicken: this was a big miss! The masala didn’t seem well cooked and there was too much masala. Tawa chicken is supposed to have a simple basic spice marinade.
Shinwari karahi: this was ok – not amazing but definitely worth trying.
Chapli kabab: this was also just ok. It had a hint of chapli kabab taste, though would recommend these to be made in lamb. Only 2 kababs for $23 so quite pricey.
Bihari kabab: these were also just ok, but in Seattle there isn’t a place for bihari kababs and so this is your best option.
Overall, a good place to sit. The food was ok/above average by Seattle standard but nothing memorable. It’s a good place for a gathering or hosting someone, but not sure we’ll be back just to eat for ourselves.
Still glad to see a Pakistani restaurant on the block!

Really delicious halal food, every item we got was a hit. We got the pakora, chicken samosas, nihari, Lahori tawa chicken legs item(can’t remember the exact menu item title). Highly recommend all of them but my favorite was the Lahori tawa chicken legs dish

Zoq Cuisine did a wonderful job offering an iftar buffet at a great price. Seattle truly lacks quality halal buffet options, so this was such a refreshing experience for our community.
Zoq Cuisine offered a wide variety of dishes, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared. I’ll be honest — the first time I tried their food, I wasn’t very impressed. However, it’s clear that the owner genuinely takes customer feedback seriously. This time around, the improvement was noticeable, and every dish we tried was delicious. It’s always encouraging to see a business actively listening and striving to improve.
The buffet selection was generous, flavorful, and well worth the price. It’s rare to find such variety and quality combined in one place, especially for iftar.
It’s a bit disappointing to see one star reviews. Running a restaurant is not easy, and growth takes time. Instead of tearing down small businesses, we should support hardworking local entrepreneurs especially members of our own community and help them thrive.
Highly recommend checking them out and supporting a local Pakistani-owned business. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I was super excited to come across a Pakistani place with names that felt extremely similar to home and the nostalgia kicked in hard.
We over ordered for two people so we could try more than 1 thing and I was kind of underwhelmed with the whole experience. The food is decent at best and pretty overpriced for what is served.
Gol Gappay – The ratio of puris to pani served is extremely off, almost every table had more than half that glass leftover, which I’m assuming is thrown every time. The pani itself was pretty sweet I felt, with extra sweet chutney, which I think could be tangier.
Paneer Karahi – Being a vegetarian, this was something I was most excited about. The half serving at $34.99 already felt overpriced but the what came of the dish, it felt undeserving. The masala was pretty raw and it felt more like a bunch of paneer cubes stir fried with raw onions, what seemed like canned tomatoes as they were so hard and peppers instead of a good cooked karahi what it should have been.
Lahori Channey – Definitely the best thing we ordered which lived up to its name and taste.
Naans – Roghni naan is different than the iconic one from back home but was a decent pass, garlic naan was as great as it could be.
Would I come back? Probably for the channey only.
It was a decent stop if you’re in the neighborhood but I probably wouldn’t drive around for as you aren’t missing out on much. At $80 for two vegetarian mains and an appetizer at a desi spot, I think the place can do better.

This hands down is the best Pakistani / Halal food i have tried here in States! The food couldn’t get more authentic, absolutely delicious. Words won’t do justice so anyone looking to try some authentic Pakistani cuisine, give this place a try and you will not be disappointed. The ambiance is super, warm and welcoming! The owners are great, really friendly and made sure that services provided were top notch!
It has not been a month yet since they opened and i already been there twice, all the way from Tacoma! Highly recommended and will sure go back.

We had a wonderful family Iftar at Zoq Kirkland with our group of 7, including 4 kids. The buffet was beautifully arranged with an excellent variety of fresh, flavorful dishes, and the quality of the food was truly impressive.
A special thank you to Ameena Chohdry for her warm hospitality and gracious hosting, which made our evening even more memorable. She is doing truly wonderful job. A perfect place to enjoy Iftar with family. ✨highly recommend.

So i fell for the Iftar buffet ruse and requested a table for 2 adults and 2 kids under 4. Mind you it was a reservation request. They could have just told me they are full and that would have been fine. Instead they immediately approved the reservation and I was happy that I had a confirmed spot. I get there and find out they have me seated at the worst possible table with 2 small kids (see the picture). We couldn’t even sit together as a family. Our table was facing a wall and we would have to get up every time someone wanted to pass behind us. Again we had two small kids and I had informed them about it. And this is supposed to be an Iftar. In summary they overbooked. Food just ok. It was more salty than normal. It took them longer than usual to refill the empty dishes. So good luck to you if you want to give it a try

Had a great experience at Iftar buffet last weekend! Me and my friends have explored different places for Ramadan iftar buffet (Shahana steakhouse, Kabob house etc). None of those restaurants come close to the authentic Pakistani taste that Zoq offers. The iftar buffet had fruit chaat, aloo channey, dahi pakori, pasta, onion rings, samosas, bbq chicken, pulao, mutton and chicken curry, daal etc. Every single item on the menu offered authentic and fresh taste.
As expected the restaurant was packed at the time of iftar. We showed up without reservations which was a mistake however the owner was kind enough to let us sit at the open place and later accomodated us to a table once people started leaving. Great service!

From the moment I walked into Zoq Restaurant, I knew I was in for something special. The ambiance is elegant yet inviting, with a perfect blend of modern decor and cozy warmth. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just treating yourself, the atmosphere sets the stage for an incredible meal.
The food was absolutely exceptional every dish was crafted with care, showcasing fresh, high-quality ingredients and bold, balanced flavors. The paya, pulao and Makhan malai boti were delicious not to mention the Lakshmi Chowk Karai was a revelation, and the halwa was the perfect sweet ending. The menu offers authentic Pakistani delicious dishes, making it a delight for food lovers.
What truly elevated the experience was the impeccable service. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about ensuring a memorable dining experience. They went above and beyond to accommodate dietary preferences and offered excellent wine pairings.
Zoe Restaurant is a must-visit gem whether for a romantic dinner, a gathering with friends, or a solo indulgence. I can’t wait to return! 10/10 recommend.

Extremely disappointed with the Iftar experience here. Despite paying full price, the buffet was completely disorganized and overcrowded. There were only 3 main options available, and the quality was very poor. The dessert selection was almost non-existent. I ended up leaving hungry as the only edible item was the pakoras. Definitely not worth the money or the stress of the crowd. I expected much better for a Ramadan service.
