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.

Huge fan of Zou Zou and all the Quality restaurants.
Some feedback we didn’t give at the restaurant. All 3 of us found the charred broccoli bordering on gross. I like smoky, but this was overwhelming.
Otherwise, just a delight.

The food was delicious and the ambience was amazing. But I want to commend our server, Nick, who was impeccable. Friendly, knowledgeable, and extraordinarily generous. He made the experience perfect.

Food was served all at same time and whole experience felt too rushed. We ordered all starters and sides but would have been great if server helped kitchen to space them out. Food was delicious.

We were looking for a nice restaurant on the West Side with a good brunch menu - and Zou Zou's delivered in a big way! The decor is so pretty, and everything about Zou Zou's says "classy." The tower appetizer is so healthy and delicious- the perfect entry to what Zou Zou's offers. There's nothing pretentious about Zou Zou's - excellent service, unique entrees and a welcoming atmosphere. The lobster Cobb salad is so beautifully prepared, and was the bronzing. I first rate experience all-around!

Chicken was way over cookies for the chicken Cesar salad - couldn’t even eat it - was awful. But great dips!!!!! Also something beyond jalapeños in the tuna tartar…. Awful
