The space feels personal and thoughtfully designed, with the owner’s story woven into everything from the décor to the wine list.

Once in a while, you come across a gem like Zagaya. The comfortable, cozy environment, with a carefully crafted menu and beautiful space, birthed beautiful conversations and connections that I will cherish for years to come.

ZaGaya is an exciting and welcome addition to the neighborhood — warm, cozy, and inviting with a fantastic selection of wine. The space is beautifully designed, the vibe is relaxed, and it’s the perfect place to connect and unwind.

Amazing wine selection and service! Great live music as well

Perfect addition to the neighborhood, but a place so good that I’ll surely be recommending to friends outside the neighborhood too!

Lovely atmosphere! Getting their “sea legs” with a huge welcoming smile. What a great addition to the neighborhood!

Beautiful wine bar combining culture, coziness and phenomenal wine!

Beautiful neighborhood gem

Exceptionally tasteful, inviting, and warm

A neighborhood gem. Cozy, warm and the perfect addition to the neighborhood.

Great wine bar!

Highly recommend. Best spot in the neighborhood. Was met with live music, excellent recommendations and a great time. Definitely come by, the rolls were tops.

Lovely little wine spot with wonderfully curated and impressive wine selection. The owner is sooo sweet and is very knowledgeable with great recs! I went last night and and she recommended an amazing Sancerre. Highly recommend!

Everything about this place is perfect! The vibe, the staff, the owner, the wine, the food, the music, even the bathroom. Go here solo, for a first date, or a small group of friends- you'll receive a level of hospitality unmatched by anywhere in Brooklyn. Highly, highly recommend. Great HH on weekdays, amazing selection of wine, knowledge staff with perfect recommendations and pairings, and music on weekends (check the website) and poetry on some Wednesdays.

Wonderfully warm and personal staff. The food and wine selection was amazing! So happy they are in the neighborhood and I can not wait to go back!

Terrific hospitality, felt like being at a friends house. Great wine selection and delicious finger food. Will absolutely be back again!! Owner is an angel!!

Great food, wine, and a lovely space.

Wow, what a warm and inviting space has been cultivated in such a lovely neighborhood. I have been so excited to try this place out and it did not disappoint! The staff was so kind and helpful, the wine was fabulous, and the food is so, so, SO excellent! The cheese and charcuterie are some of the best we’ve ever had, and just from the smell of the Katenga rolls, we KNEW they were going to amazing. A 10/10 experience and I can’t wait to go back. I will definitely be recommending it to others!

Awesome spot. Mocktails are really complex and delicious. The orange wine was excellent, and paired well with the spicy ethiopian finger food. The owner is very friendly and talkative, which makes for a wonderful neighborly vibe. Will be back!

Such a welcoming and cozy spot! From the moment we walked into ZaGaya, we were greeted with smiles and felt right at home. I don’t drink alcohol, so I really appreciated the variety of fun, creative non-alcoholic options—way beyond the usual soda or water. The live entertainment was great, with two very different performers who were both super engaging. Loved the vibe, loved the thoughtfulness. I'm definitely coming back!

Everything about this place is perfect. It is small but it cultivates more intimacy. They have great tej wines & cocktails and vibrant entertainment. Highly recommend!

Really really delicious food and drinks! I had such a lovely early afternoon drink and snack here. Plus it’s gorgeous!

Wine, cheese, and live music in a cozy neighborhood spot. What more can you ask for?

Such a great addition to the neighborhood. Excellent ranges of wines and other drinks. Will be there often!

great ambiance, perfect place for an intimate drink on a warm summer day/night. servers were very attentive and friendly. will definitely stop by again if ever in the neighborhood to try the food

If I could give this place 1000 stars, I would. Gyasi and Earl made the whole experience unforgettable — amazing service, great energy, and they truly know their wine. The wine selection was incredible, and every recommendation was perfect. And can we talk about the apricot jam?! I don’t know what magic is in that jar, but paired with the cheese and charcuterie it was INSANE. I’m still thinking about it. The food was completely out of this world — every plate was better than the last. The whole vibe was fun, warm, and the kind of place you go for “one glass” and end up staying all night. Already planning my next visit!

We had such a great time on our first visit. Gem was super friendly and smart, despite being pretty busy. The snacks were exceptional and the live music was a perfect set, perfect volume. We even got to spend time with the owner. This is exactly what Windsor Terrace needed. Well done Lule

This place is terrific! Amazing selection of wine and unusual infusions (you can have them as alcoholic or non-alcoholic cocktails). The bartenders Earl and Antoine were a delight as well.

What a gem! I can’t say enough about our experience and our delicious Hot Toddy’s. The owner and staff were amazing and we plan to be back often. I highly recommend stopping in for a great vibe and experience.

Amazing new wine and snack bar! The menu had great food options (very vegetarian friendly!) and the wine and cocktail list was extensive and unique. Great NA options as well. Amazing cozy atmosphere

Lovely wine bar with indoor, outdoor, and indoor / outdoor seating. Great for groups or couples and steps from the subway. Such a calm yet lively vibe. Highly recommend!

Wait... Why is this place so good!? Honey Meade based cocktails. Literally one of my secret favorites. The place is amazing with s great vibe and good music. The food is really good quality and tasty offering an incredible amount of variety. The menu is at a great price. 10/10!!!

This wine bar is a true hidden gem. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — perfect for pairing with their excellent wine selection.

I just tried this place for the first time recently and I loved it. The food was amazing and the selection of wine was huge, and we loved everything we tried. Friendly service and cozy atmosphere inside. We'll definitely be back!

We hosted a private party at this beautiful wine bar and we can't thank the owner enough! They have great wines and spreads, and the service was incredible. The place is beautifully decorated and the warm vibe made it feel so special for a bday celebration! Thank you again!

Lovely and quaint wine bar. We popped in on our way to Nitehawk. I’m doing dry Jan but they have an amazing selection of NA drinks and my husband loved the Ethiopian wine. Excited to come back!

First time visiting Zagaya's and it was lovely! The food, service and ambiance were excellent.Very welcoming staff! I'm not a big cheese eater but I really enjoyed the cheeses we ordered. Loved the Apple Cider Tej (warm)! Perfect for a chilly night! Will definitely go again the next time I'm in Brooklyn.

We had a fantastic time here. The food is cooked by the owner, and you can absolutely taste the care and passion in every dish. It’s authentic Ethiopian cuisine with a thoughtful modern twist,rich flavors, beautifully balanced spices, and incredibly satisfying.

Helpful staff who were very friendly and gave great recommendations. Very nice atmosphere, and the food was a lot better than I expected; tasty, fresh and high quality. Looking forward to going back trying more of the wine selection.

This place is awesome! The wine selection is incredible, Tej cocktails are super creative, and the mix of Ethiopian and Mediterranean spreads & charcuterie is unique. I was disappointed when East Wind left the space, but so glad this place opened here!

I LOVE this place. I can't believe it just opened -- it was packed the night I went! But even packed, it felt intimate with warm, welcoming vibes, soothing music, and great conversation. It's upscale vibe really elevates the whole neighborhood. Wine was excellent, noshes were delightful. And honestly -- I just feel so lucky to have such a wonderful place so close to home! OH! And they have a great mocktail list, which means I finally have another great spot to gather during Dry January!

This place is an absolute gem! Beautiful interior, great ambiance & super friendly staff. Food is delicious and wine is superb. Do not miss stopping by this place whenever you're in the neighborhood! I will be back for sure.

We stumbled upon this gem tonight for the first time! The wine and food were amazing. This cute wine bar has an inviting, warm, friendly atmosphere! We will definitely be back!

It has a really warm and welcoming atmosphere, knowledgeable and friendly service, and all the wines I tried were great. I didn't get any food this time but it smelled and looked great so I'll definitely give it a try next time.
