About this restaurant

Lively
Good for special occasions
Good for groups

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.

To be clear, our table waiter was excellent. But it took the bar a half hour to produce our first drink, then the kitchen took another half hour to produce appetizers and then another whole hour to produce our main course. Expediter problem? Kitchen staff problem? Doesn’t matter that the flavors were excellent if you have to sit idle that long.

I’ve been here twice for lunch and the Dips never fail to impress and deliver a decadent flavor explosion to your pallet. The salads are beautifully prepared and presented with top level aesthetics and quality of produce and protein options. I highly recommend for a business lunch or a meet up with a group of friends!

Wanted to love this spot but our entrees were incredibly underwhelming. Would not recommend for dinner but if you're just going for apps & a drink, the dips were fantastic!

I don't even live in NYC, and I like to try new places in a city that's abundant in excellent food. But Zou Zou's is so good, that it's hard not to stop by when I'm in town. I've been here 3-4 times now in about 5-6 trips. Absolute musts are the Artichokes, Latke (sides), and the yogurt dessert. Truly all to die for. 🤤
