Zou Zou’s is a lively and modern Eastern Mediterranean restaurant from chef Juliana Latif, who spent years working at some of the most notable restaurants throughout New York City, including The NoMad. The menu is inspired by and celebrating the cuisine and flavors of the Eastern Mediterranean region, bringing in influences from Lebanon, Israel, Turkey, Egypt, Syria, and Jordan, among others.

Zou Zou’s is located within the Manhattan West Plaza, on the ground level of Pendry Manhattan West. If arriving at 33rd Street (between 9th & 10th), follow the walkway to the plaza, turn left, and find the Zou Zou’s entrance on your left.

If arriving at the Ninth Avenue entrance (at 32nd Street), walk through the plaza towards Whole Foods – Zou Zou’s will be on the right side of the plaza just past the NHL Experience Store.

We always enjoy our meals at Zou Zou’s. From (literal) start to finish… the mezze tower to the frozen yogurt - delish!

We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back, but the service was clearly lacking. My friends ordered two different types of margaritas and when the blonde woman with the blue blazer dropped them off she acted like we asked her for a kidney when we asked which margarita was which then blamed her rudeness on the server for putting the drinks under the wrong seats. The men dropping off the food were wonderful and very kindly explained some of the items on the menu as the rest of the waitstaff seemed too busy to give my table any attention.

We have dined at Zou Zou’s many times, usually before a Knicks game at nearby Madison Square Garden. It did not disappoint tonight. The sea bass cooked in grape leaves was divine, and the wine was delicious. We will certainly return.

The food was amazing. Sadly, the service fellt rushed. The sommelier was fantastic and recommended a great wine but we were not able to enjoy our appetizers because our main courses came out so quickly and the servers didn't seem to care.

Excellent meal with fun and delicious plays on traditional Mediterranean dishes. The dips is a must order. Great variety and good portions - the tahini with foam is worth going back for alone. Also, don't skip the cheesecake dessert. Very dramatic presentation that paid off with exceptional flavor. Will definitely be going back.
