Zanadu Tapas - Kurunjang

Absolutely delicious food and great service! The staff were very friendly and the tapas well priced and very yummy, the paella was delicious! <br/

What an amazing hidden gem! <br <br Zanadu Tapas bar is run by some great people, and their passion is clearly reflected in their food. I recently came here for a Christmas party and sat outside in their courtyard (HIGHLY recommended on a hot day, it has cushions and shade! . <br <br We were served various Tapas and Drinks, here are a few of my faves: <br <br SALMON CROQUETTES These were SO tasty, I haven't had salmon ones before and I don't usually love salmon, but this stood out to me! Maybe it was the cheese in it, but the flavour was on point. <br <br SEAFOOD PAELLA  This is a MUST! I mean it would be rude to go to a Spanish place and NOT order Paella, right?! I absolutely loved the flavours in this, and the chef was absolutely gorgeous and so friendly. I saw her outside the restaurant taking photos with a happy family, who clearly loved her cooking too. <br <br SPANISH ROSÉ Usually I go for Sangria but was recommended to go the Rosé instead, very appropriate summer wine, went well with the food! <br <br I'm giving this place 5 stars because the venue had both indoor and outdoor seating (very clean , the owners workers were all genuinely lovely and seemed to really enjoy their work (it shows in their food and there is a variety of menu options, so I feel like there is something for everyone!<br <br Overall I just had a fabulous time here, so personally I feel like it deserves that 5 star rating! But please let me know if you any thoughts or queries, or your own experiences dining here :

Rating 4.5 Stars What a beautiful space this tapas bar is! I was lucky enough to attend a Christmas Party at Zanadu. We sat outside in their beautiful courtyard and were lucky to get a beautiful Melbourne summers day. They have a cosy space inside and more tables out the front if you want to ‘people watch’.We enjoyed a beautiful selection of tapas and wines (they also have some superb bottles of spirits that are hard to find here in Melbourne).But the highlight for me was the Paella! I must admit I was a paella virgin and the thoughts did cross my mind like ‘where have you been all my life’ Even though I’d never tried it before I just new it was amazing and of course my foodie friends confirmed this. Thank you so much for such lovely service and a really wonderful experience Zanadu Tapas Bar

Zanadu.<br/ <br/ Right in the hustle and bustle of Hampton, you will find this gem, offering Spanish tapas, delicious paella and wonderful staff.<br/ <br/ Prior to my visit here for a Christmas party in the courtyard, i had no idea of this incredible restaurant! But shortly after entering the warm and inviting restaurant, i was embraced by staff with genuine smiles, proud to work there and excited to let me into their joy of Zanadu.<br/ <br/ With about 20 foodies standing, sitting and enjoying the ambience of the courtyard, we were met by the lovely owner who presented us with white wine, red wine and moscato. A great way to get the crowd going.<br/ <br/ Not long after, beautiful tapas started arriving on our tables, ready for eager foodies to snap the perfect shot and delve into each dish. Arancini balls, meatballs, calamari, croquettes and tomato and olive toasts were placed in front of us. With each dish having their unique presentation, the food became perfect for Instagram and to perfect to be shared.<br/ <br/ After numerous clicks, camera's were put down and now it came down to the actual taste of the food, because sure the food can look good, but if it tastes good, then the restaurant has done their job in securing happy customers who are most likely to return. <br/ <br/ Having a taste of this, and a bite of that, i was quite satisfied with the taste of each dish.<br/ <br/ But, no Spanish fiesta is complete without a massive paella. Made by the most incredible, positively fuelled woman, i was able to indulge in a fresh seafood paella, cooked right in front of me. I could take a bite, close my eyes and almost feel as though i was in Spain. The paella, and actually all the food in general was made with so much love. And you kind of don't get that everywhere.<br/ <br/ Ending with some Churros and chocolate sauce, i was very satisfied with my afternoon spent at Zanadu and highly recommend for families, large groups, date nights and everything in between.<br/ <br/ Thanks again for providing such a special christmas party,<br/ <br/ Ice cream of Melbourne!
