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.

We absolutely love Zou Zou. The ambiance, the dips, the Moroccan fried chicken, THE LEMON SORBET!!! We have never had a bad meal here. But this night was the best experience we’ve had. We were celebrating a birthday and Katie treated us so well, with a delicious surprise appetizer and a complimentary birthday dessert. Thank you Katie for making our night!

The restaurant is very cool, very large and crowded which gives it a frenetic feel. The service started out ok but there were gaps which would have made the experience smoother if it was more consistent. The food and the presentation were excellent. Enjoyed every dish beginning with the dip sampler, the Hamachi, Fattoush Salad, and artichokes were also excellent. There were only two of us so that was plenty of food. Very nice “by the glass” wine selection as well. Not cheap but worth the price!

The service was excellent, and with the exception of a couple items (bronzino was slightly bitter due to being grilled, filet mignon was a bit tough), everything was great. Chef’s menu was an amazing value.

I really wanted to like this place but I left very underwhelmed by the quality of the food. The place has no identity - it's quasi-mediterranean, I think, but things that are called Tabboule or Fattoush are actually something totally different. Prices are very high which doesn't help but if you have had real Lebanese, Israeli, Moroccan or other real authentic dishes that this place is trying to replicate or tweak, it will leave you very unsatisfied.

Great staff and cool atmosphere. The food is good but quite rich and portions are large. As such, order carefully! But everything is great to take home.
