Delicious food, but hygiene is a horror show.

Zest is an absolute mystery wrapped in an enigma, especially when you see the hygiene score of 1/5. Yet, somehow, people rave about it. I guess the Welsh rarebit is putting some serious magic in the air. Customers are claiming it’s the best they’ve ever had. But be prepared; the hygiene standards are about as comforting as a horror movie.

You might enjoy your meal, but I wouldn’t recommend ordering anything that requires a lot of trust. If you’re feeling risky and love a bit of danger with your dining experiences, Zest might be your new go-to. Just remember, a flat white here could be a game of Russian roulette. πŸ”₯πŸ§€
