    The food was very tasty. We ordered appetizers hoping to start with something while the food was getting ready. But all food ordered for the table was served at the same time. The zucchini “fries” were the best.

    This is my second time here. Though not in my neighborhood, Azara is worth the trip. The branzino is crisp and moist, and the jollof rice is excellent. I also enjoyed the vegetable nem. Service is done with a smile. Prices are reasonable, and portions are filling. You can bring your own wine. Go!
