This week, Team Paperazzi headed over to satisfy our Lebanese food cravings at Zaatar. If you've been missing on some really good, authentic Lebanese cuisine, this is where you'll find it. Zaatar serves food of the highest quality, with everything in the kitchen made from scratch, including all their sauces. They do not use any colours or preservatives, and certainly never any flavour enhancers or ‘flavourings in their food. All in all, Zaatar has a very simple ethos; there is never a compromise.

hy do you want to work in the food and beverage industry? We take pride in the ability of our restaurant to provide guests with a wonderful experience each time they visit. Whether it’s hiring a server to handle a white-tablecloth dinner service or a line cook to make pizzas during a busy lunch rush, the desire to make people happy by serving them quality food has always been a must for us. What does “hospitality” mean to you? Hospitality to us means friendly and generous reception and entertainment
of guests, it’s our ability to give the guest/ customer a long lasting positive impact, in regards to our service and quality of food, leaving them wanting more and feeling satisfied. Tell me about your most memorable hospitality experience as a diner. Parachute Chicago would be one of the most memorable dining experiences, it's a small Korean place operated by Beverly Kim and her husband. We thoroughly enjoyed dining at this Michelin starred establishment which did not resemble the usual Michelin experience and it was a
pleasure meeting Beverly as well. What do you do when you’re not working? What are your hobbies? When we get time off from work we try to squeeze in a quick workout into the day and secondly we love spending time with family and friends, so we’re always looking for any activity that we can do together like swimming or riding etc. What are 3 tips for running a successful restaurant? It is important to maintain a high quality standard for food To keep your staff motivated To be passionate about your work What are your future plans for the restaurant? We would like to expand the restaurant by opening up more branches all over Lahore since a lot of my customers have been suggesting that for a while now. What do you cook yourself and your family at home? We enjoy eating and experimenting new cuisines and ideas more rather than cooking ourselves. However we dabbled with cooking waking our inner chefs while living abroad so our cooking range began from cooking biryani to grilling a half decent steak. Suggestions for someone who wants to be a restaurant owner like you? We would suggest treating all your customers as guests. This implies that you provide them with quality food and service. Spend money on buying quality equipment and training your staff perfectly to serve the customers efficiently in order to provide your guest a memorable personal experience each time they visit the restaurant. How would you know you were being successful in this job? It’s very simple for us as we would consider ourselves successful when we see happy and satisfied customers enjoying the food at our restaurant day in and day out. 2020

Who is your best friend? Mahnam and Remsha, my oldest two confidants and constants. What would you grab if your house was on fire? Definitely has to be my phone What is your destination for the trip of your dreams? Croatia for sure, just for late night walks in the streets. When you were little, what did you want to be when you grow up? I wanted to be a doctor just to get the fancy laboratory coat! If you got stuck in the elevator and was forced to listen to one Song what would it be? Has to be Planet Caravan by Black Sabbath or even a Frank Sinatra. What was the best advice you were ever given? To never hold on to things or people not meant for you and to always make your own rules.

Our fab astrologer Zahid Haider, styles up your stars. Find out what’s in store for you this week!
For your in-depth weekly forecast call 0322-757-5219 E-mail: happyhaider65@gmail.com
ARIES (MAR. 21- APRIL 20) Be warned, Aries: you will be triggered. Before you react, ask yourself if it is the lack of inner balance that’s causing havoc on an external level. See how and where you need to realign. This will help you deal with the crises in a calm and composed manner. When in doubt, channel your inner Buddha. Learn to become an observer instead of engaging with the drama. TAURUS (APR. 21- MAY 21) This week isn’t so much about being in action mode as it is about reflecting on the past and understanding where you are at in your journey. Think of what you can do to enhance the quality of your work. Stay connected to the stream of creative consciousness, Taurus. You are growing and evolving to the next level. Being around a water body promises to make this a transcendental experience. Be sure to journal the thoughts that come to you when you are in a state of flow. This will give you a chance to create some of your best work yet. GEMINI (MAY 22-JUNE 21) What a long way you’ve come, Gemini! But you didn’t get here by following all the rules and adhering to societal standards. A certain degree of rebellion is integral to the creative process. Keep this in mind as you move to the next stage, which requires you to put that larger-than-life vision into action. Remember, nothing can be achieved without the hustle. Get ready to put in the hours. Learning to prioritize your tasks will make you invincible. CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22) Going up against arms with each other is not doing you any favors, Cancer. By the looks of it, you are halting your progress and keeping the project from moving forward. Revisit with that vision board as you realign with your higher goals. As a leader, it is your responsibility to inspire others to move beyond the ego and work towards the collective goals. Let this be a permanent change rather than a temporary measure. Focus on creating a work environment that supports the exchange of ideas and fosters growth on a holistic level. LEO (JULY 23-AUG 22) Your true self and the ego self are at war. Which of the two voices are you going to listen to? Remember, letting go of the false self will help you see people as they are, awaken your empathy, and usher peace and harmony into your existence. This is the real victory, Leo. Those who have been playing small or hiding behind the scenes will be celebrated for their hard work and contributions. Wild one, be sure to get rid of the cloak of invisibility before you start the week. VIRGO (AUG. 23 -SEPT. 23) “Do whatever brings you to life, then. Follow your own fascinations, obsessions and compulsions. Trust them. Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart.” Wise words by Elizabeth Gilbert to help you expand your creative consciousness. Before you step into the New Year, count the moments that sparked joy within you, both on a personal and professional level. This will give you clarity on what you want to invest your time and energy into. Remember, it’s not just about winning at life and joining the league of power players. It’s about nurturing your hobbies and letting your creative side shine through. LIBRA (SEPT. 24 -OCT. 23) “Make a conscious effort to surround yourself with positive, nourishing and uplifting people—people who believe in you and encourage you to go after your dreams, and applaud your victories.” A Jack Canfield quote to remind you of the power of positive friendships. This week finds you making magic with your good vibes tribe, and connecting with them on a deeper level. Considering we’re smack in the middle of holiday season, you might even feel inspired to play hostess with the mostest. We’ve all come to expect the party of the season from you.
SCORPIO (OCT. 24 - NOV. 22) When somebody cheats you or disrespects your boundaries, it says little about you and everything about them. Don’t take this personally, Scorpio. Focus your energy on safeguarding your interests. There’s a lot you need to achieve in the coming weeks and these tasks require you to be the sharpest version of yourself. The beginning of the year could bring with itself the opportunity to invest in a new venture, one that you feel deeply aligned with. PS: Take a calculated risk. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23 -DEC. 21) Ah, disillusionment, your old friend! Don’t walk away from what you have created—not just yet. Step back and focus on re centering your energy instead. Taking time off will give you a chance to course correct and plant the seeds of a better tomorrow. Word for the wise: embrace your reclusive side. It’s okay to take a break from people (and social media) once in awhile. CAPRICORN (DEC 22.- JAN. 20) If you grew up in a culture that asked you to be anybody but yourself, chances are you learned to hide your true nature in order to gain acceptance. There is no need for you to operate from old paradigms, Capricorn. Let this be the week you make a drastic change. Start by undoing the layers of protection until you make your way to your most authentic self. Nothing will liberate you like getting in touch with that wild, untamed energy within. Trust that this inner revolution will in turn help you create your best work yet. AQUARIUS (JAN. 21.- FEB. 19) Mindfulness, who? This week finds you creating your best work and actively working towards taking over the world. Ambition looks good on you, sister. Continue to make bold moves and shine your light on the world. The good news: projects that had come to a standstill will take off soon. Travelling for work is also going to be an important theme. If it helps expand your work and take you places, what are you waiting for, Aquarius? PISCES (FEB. 20-MAR. 20) In a world that constantly glorifies the busy, choosing self-care is a revolution. You’ve gone to hell and back, Pisces. Give your body the downtime it deserves. Some of you could be suffering from a case of ‘broken spirit’. The world doesn’t get to tell you what you can and cannot do. Let this period of rest help you find that reserve of courage, strength and inspiration.
