We dropped in for dinner at Zen, tucked inside Uptown Limassol, and here’s how a casual night turned into a memorable flavor fest. The moment you step in, you’re greeted by a sleek, zen-inspired space that feels both modern and inviting—warm wood tones, soft lighting, and just the right hum of conversations that promise a relaxed evening. We kicked off the night with a mix of favorites that set the tone for what was to come. The Green Salad arrived first—a crisp, refreshing starter that acted as a bright palate cleanser for what would follow. The greens were vibrant, and the dressing offered a tangy kiss that woke up the taste buds without stealing the show. Next up was Spicy Edamame, a simple dish that delivered a confident punch. The pods were perfectly steamed and sprinkled with a lively chili kick and a hint of garlic. It was the kind of starter that balanced heat with a touch of savory depth, paving the way for the heavier flavors ahead. Then came the star lineup: ALL the sushi. The spread was generous and varied, a true celebration of freshness and variety. Each piece showed careful preparation—the fish looked pristine, the rice light and fluffy, and the flavors clean and well-balanced. It’s the kind of sushi experience that invites sharing and quick, delight-filled bites between friends. We found ourselves moving from nigiri to maki with ease, savoring the ocean notes and the precise knife work that makes good sushi stand out. A gentle nod to soy, wasabi, and pickled ginger completed the experience, enhancing the fish without overpowering it. Our go-to order—Chicken Pad Thai—made a strong showing as the evening’s savory anchor. The noodles carried a glossy sauce with a pleasing depth, a harmonious blend of sweet, sour, and savory elements. The chicken was tender and well-seasoned, and the dish carried a light peanut crunch that added texture and a touch of richness. It wasn’t heavy, and it paired nicely with the plateful of sushi that followed, offering a satisfying contrast to the seafood-forward courses. The overall vibe was just right for an easy, feel-good dinner: attentive service that kept the pace comfortable, a space that felt polished yet welcoming, and menu choices that encouraged a little bit of everything. By the end, we left with full stomachs and happy palates, already plotting our next Zen-powered meal in Limassol. If you’re in Limassol and craving a balanced night of sushi-forward bites plus some well-executed Asian-inspired comfort dishes, Zen at Uptown Limassol is a solid pick.
