The Zen Caribbean - Ajax

I had a birthday celebration last weekend I needed to cater for. Of course, everyone has their opinion of where to go but one of my friends recommended Zen's. Although I live in Pickering Village, I never even knew this place existed. It's truly a hidden gem! I was having almost 50 guests so needed plenty of food. I ordered 6 large family style trays; a fried rice, lo mein, veggie stir fry, chilli chicken, spicy beef and pepper shrimp. No doubt, overkill. I figured as much but they were also incredibly generous with their offerings too. I wasn't going to order the pepper shrimp but after reading all the reviews about it, I simply had to. I had no idea what to expect but was it ever good ... and INCREDIBLY spicy!! All the food was simply amazing and most guests were inquiring where I got it from so they could go themselves. Thanks for making our event really stand out. We will definitely be back; for both catering orders and everyday meals. BTW, the restaurant vibe is really nice too!

Used this restaurant to cater for our conference today and they really delivered on quality food. Service was on time and lots of positive feedback on the food. The kids loved the food! Thank you Shanti and crew for your excellent service.#EmpowerHerConferenceDDSB. Food: 5 Service: 5
