ZZ's was one of the most fun dinners we've had in NYC in a long time. The energy hits you the moment you walk in. From the warm welcome by the staff to the owner making the rounds, it feels less like a restaurant and more like being invited to a very cool friend's dinner party—one where everyone genuinely wants you to have a great time. The food absolutely delivers. The flavors are bold, vibrant, and memorable across the board, and the cocktails are playful, creative, and delicious. Our server,
Second time here and everything was amazing. We came here for brunch and had: halloumi, hummus (so good), babagsnush (could have done without) grilled cheese (a little too salty), shakshuka, the TLV breakfast and tiramisu. Everyone loved their dishes. Will return when in the neighborhood.
Wow! One of the best mediterranian I had in a while. We were a party of 3, walked in without reservation and had to sit at the bar. Not too bad tho. We ordered bone marrow, chicken shawarma and overnight lambs. All tasted great, 2 main dishes can be shared for 3 people I think. Solid service and ambiance was nice. I love their twist on the free mint cucumber water!
