    The food was delicious, the atmosphere is beautiful, but it was a little loud with the music turned up. Our waitress was a champ even after she was burned by the hot water from my tea.😳

    We enjoyed dinner at this restaurant. No long wait, friendly service. Persian twist to familiar Mediterranean cuisine. Everything was good. The portions are on the larger side and can be easily shared.

    The spicy beef with figs was outstanding. The "lamb" in the lamb shanks was on the mature side, but it was stilll very good. The syrah from Lebanon was quite nice and can hold its own with California and Australia.

    It took over an hour and a half to get our food. Apparently they were more important people in front of us. We had had the reservation for about three weeks and were feeling pretty neglected after the whole affair. On top of that, our server, if she left us sitting for close to a quarter hour after leaving to get our bill. I finally stood up and walked to the cash register and waited for our bill to arrive. The Response was that she forgot about us, sorry! The lamb was mushy and overcooked, the steak was impossibly undercooked, and the salmon was actually pretty good. The flavors were bland. The pita was stale. We were there for over two hours. mentioned it to the Owner/manager (while waiting for the bill to arrive) who suggested that next time we should tell our server (we did tell mention the food wasn’t good, but she just smiled) and have the bill reduced. L O L, there are a lot of great restaurants in Kalamazoo. We will not be returning.

    This was my first time eating at Zooroona. We had excellent service and delicious food, and our server gave great recommendations for our first time. We came on a Saturday evening, so it was a bit busy. I recommend making a reservation. It did become quite loud, but I still had an enjoyable experience. If you're looking for a quiet evening though, maybe not the right spot for you.

    The food is always delicious, I ordered the Lamb shank. It is one of my favorites on the menu! The Service was good, just way slow. I feel they did not have enough staff that evening for service. The chef is very good with allergies though, I have a shellfish allergy and celiac disease. Chef does a great job accommodating my dietary needs. Thank you!

    We were seated at a nice private corner booth for date night. We had a team of friendly servers who took great care of us. It was very lively which was nice to see again after all of the COVID constraints. And the food was delicious especially the lamb medley over hummus entree and the babaganoush appetizer. We enjoyed the Lebanese Rosé and the Lebanese Red Blend as well.

    Hummus and salad were great - the rest of the food was mediocre. Once the restaurant filled it was too loud to carry on a conversation across the table (we were 6). Not as good an experience as we'd had in the past.

    Not your typical Middle Eastern Western food, rather it leaned more toward Persian/Iranian with very interesting flavors. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Servers were familiar with allmof the items and were helpful with their recommendations.

    From the moment we entered the restaurant we enjoyed ourselves. The seating was prompt. We were seated in the area that we requested. Our server was attentive but not pushy. The pace that the drinks, appetizers and entrees were delivered was great. The presentation was good. Of course the best part was the way the food tasted!!!

    It had been some time since we had been to Zooroona. I was glad to see that most of our favorites were still on the menu, although choices had been pared down. The food was very good and the service was attentive. We need to remember to come here more often!

    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.
