The Beginning

Where It All Started

ZAZA Group was born from a simple observation: Africa's burgeoning middle class deserved world-class entertainment and hospitality experiences without having to leave the continent.

Founded in Lagos, Nigeria, our journey began with Zaza Lagos, a pioneering concept that introduced theatrical dining to West Africa. The response was overwhelming. What started as a single venue quickly evolved into a vision for something much larger.

Today, ZAZA Group operates multiple flagship venues in Lagos and maintains its strategic headquarters in Dubai, UAE. This dual presence allows us to blend African authenticity with global sophistication while positioning ourselves for expansion across the Middle East and beyond.
