ziyaafat Menu and Prices
The name ziyaafat sounds like it's used to save money. The store takes a share-type route, with strong seasonings and generous portions, which suits the appetite of migrant workers and international students who often forage outside. I usually stop by after work to order a single order, or gather a few friends to order a table on weekends, so I'm not in a hurry. The atmosphere is quite casual. You don't have to serve it like fine dining. Sit down and wait for the food to be served and chat while eating. It's a very down-to-earth meal.
