LUX Life Restaurant & Bar Awards 2018

Page 24 www.lux-review.com LUX Restaurant & Bar Awards 2018 Barzaari is a contemporary Eastern Mediterranean restaurant located in the Inner Western Sydney suburb of Marrickville. Catering to a wide variety of guests, the establishment aims to provide them with the highest standards of service and dishes that will tempt everyone. The process of providing this begins before the client even visits the restaurant, as Darryl explains. “Here at Barzaari, we believe that the potential for a long-term relationship with prospective clients often begins well before their arrival. Each reservation is treated with a great level of detail. We ascertain if any specific requirements are needed, for example if any guests have specific dietary requirements or if the booking is made for a special occasion. That initial introduction helps to ensure the customers’ expectations are met, and as such we then only need exceed them. “Once our client arrives we must greet with a smile, then check if they have a reservation or are a ‘walk in’. The same level of detail that was addressed in a reservation, should also be placed upon a ‘walk in’ table. From there we offer water, three options, a drinks list, varied and considered options, then a food menu. Again, we constantly consider the options in both flavour, and choice, and they are always seasonal and true to our concept. It is imperative that within that first 5-10 mins we gain favourable impressions, that makes the rest of the experience a whole lot more enjoyable for both us and our client.” This attention to detail can only be achieved with the help of a dedicated and talented workforce who are driven by the restaurant’s vision to offer high standards. As such, Darryl explores how the establishment works to ensure that its staff are constantly motivated and willing to meet their guests’ high standards. Barzaari’s menu offers a taste of eastern Mediterranean in Marrickville. We invited Darryl Martin to tell us more about this inventive eatery and the techniques it employs to ensure that guests are always coming back for more.
