zooroona mediterranean grill

great food!. i visited zooroona with a group of friends today. i order the falafel wrap and another ordered the beef/lamb wrap. the sandwiches were switched, but they were so good, we didn't even realize that we weren't eating what we had ordered!

great price for what was included; cup of delicious lentil soup and the wrap with pickled radishes and some deliciously sour pickles on the side. all that for $5! others in our group ordered an shawermachickenand an eggplant dish that were equally as delicious. i'd certainly recommend zooroona for lunch or dinner.

my wife and i arrived just after the dinner rush on a saturday. we were greeted and seated immediately. turkish coffee for me, and darseen (black tea with cinnamon) for my wife. both were very good. we were promptly served their complimentary naan bread with olive oil and spice. we opted for the pumpkin hummous for an appetizer which was also very good. i ordered thechickenbiryani with the moroccan spice soup and my wife ordered thechickengalaya with the lentil soup. our entrees took a little time to prepare, but not an excessive amount of time considering everything is prepared to order. this gave us some time to enjoy our coffee and tea while taking in the cozy atmosphere. when our food came, it was steaming hot and smelled great. mychickenbiryani came with a cucumber sauce and a boiled egg. my dinner was amazing. i've had biryani at several places and it has always surprised me that each place has their own way of making it. well, zooroona makes excellent biryani. my wife also thoroughly enjoyed her galaya with no complaints. in fact, we so enjoyed our meals that we can't wait to come back again.

no thanks.. we have given this restaurant several tries, and while i love this style of cuisine, i must contest that it is an overpriced version of shawarma king. not impressed with entrees (grilled vegetables, beef and figs,chickentawook and shawarma have all been unimpressive). service has left something to be desired on most occasions, and the price is a bit too steep for what is put in front of you.

severely disappointed.. went here a few months ago with my wife for lunch. no one greeted us at the door when we walked in...not too out of the ordinary, but one really shouldn't wait more then a minute to be acknowledged or for someone to come seat you. we were one of two tables in there for lunch that day.

we got seated and looked over the menu. my wife ordered thechickenwrap with mango lassi and i ordered the lunch combo. our wait wasn't too long on the food but then again our waitress was the only person there that afternoon. not only that, but our waitress was making the mango lassi, the salad and some plating of food.

the soups we had were good, so no problem there.

the food, well, where to start. my dish was either too greasy and not at all what i had expected (kibbi) or too bland. my wife'schickenwrap was bland and she realized towards the end some of thechickenwas not cooked all the way. we pointed it out to the waitress and she gave us some excuse as to why this is...doesn't matter why or how this happened, it happened and your cook served it this way! she gave us a free piece of baklava.

i feel as if this place has become a victim of its own success. when they first opened they were really good and flawless with everything. this was even the case at least one year ago...but now, it seems they don't care about the quality of food they put out, they just like to look cool.

i do apologize for this review being vague in any way but it was at least a month ago when i went and other bad reviews for places has encouraged me to finally review this place.
