The authenticity of the food was the best part about this restaurant experience. I have visited Lebanon — where I fell in love with Levantine cuisine. The flavors were so reminiscent and so comforting. The true mark of excellence is the taste of the Baba Ghannouj - and it did not disappoint! Superb roasted flavors and smooth consistency were something special. The Zooroona salad was advised by our server — a unique blend of freshness with an earthy heartiness from the beets was so wonderful. The Zooroona rice brought the delicate flavors of the region to life, when admixed with the roasted vegetables and outstanding Kafta Kabob (beef with lamb) roasted to perfection. Finally the palate was finished with a delicious sweet nutty classic — Baklawa! The staff was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere cozy and welcoming, a romantic place for a Sunday dinner. I was impressed with how the menu spanned a variety of Levantine favorites, including vegetarian ones. I truly appreciate the commitment of Zooroona to deliver a delicious meal to Kalamazoo.

Zooroona is our "go-to" place in Kalamazoo for an out of the ordinary and delicious meal. We are never disappointed with the menu, service, or food. Sampler plates are a great way to get a variety of tastes and an introduction to the mediterranean foods that one might not be familiar with.

Service Was abysmal. We waited over an hour for food and it wasn’t even busy. No communication. When we called the manager over finally as we were leaving without food, she apologised and offered us our meal for free. She said they were short staffed.

I absolutely love the food and the vibes here. I'm vegetarian and they have so many great options all of which are delicious. The decor sets a very special and transporting environment. It reminds me of when I dined in Morocco. Very authentic. Outdoor dining was lovely.

Thi s is our favorite spot in Kzoo, or used to be. The food was delicioud, the service atrocious. It took half an hour and 4 tries to give us our bill, and it was still wrong. The waitresss smirked the entire time. We will not be back. We used to go there once or twice a month.

This was my second visit to Zooroona and it was just as delicious as the first. The flavor profiles are different from most middle eastern restaurants as they have dishes from many places. The service was great and the atmosphere is very nice.
