Zakie was founded with a single belief: that great dining experiences shouldn't be complicated. We're on a mission to connect people with the restaurants they love.
Zakie was founded in 2025 in Beirut, Lebanon by a team of engineers and food enthusiasts who were tired of calling restaurants one by one, only to be put on hold or told "no tables available." We knew there had to be a better way.
We started with a single neighbourhood in Hamra, Beirut — partnering with 12 restaurants in our first week. Within three months we had grown to cover all of Beirut, and demand from Iraq pushed us to launch in Baghdad, Erbil, and Basra shortly after.
Today, Zakie is the fastest-growing dining platform in the Arab world — and we're just getting started.
Our founders' belief that drove us to build Zakie, and the north star that guides everything we do.
Every feature we build must be intuitive. If a user needs instructions, we've already failed. Great products just work.
We serve two communities equally: the diners who use Zakie and the restaurant owners who depend on us to grow their businesses.
Your data, your reservations, your payments — all protected with bank-grade security. We earn trust daily, not just at sign-up.
We're not afraid to challenge how things have always been done. We experiment, learn fast, and ship improvements every week.
A diverse team of engineers, designers, operators and food obsessives — united by the belief that great dining should be available to everyone.
