What to Avoid (1)

Food 1

Kebab with yogurt and rice Net −1

“Finally my plate came (kebab with yogurt and rice), trust me they put bread under the meat and the rice, you think your plate is generous while its made of bread under your food so only few slices of meat are on the top which gives you the illusion to have a "normal" size plate. Shame!!!”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Request Outdoors. Ask for an outdoor table if the fountain view matters, but expect those seats to be in demand.

Avoid Rush. Visit outside peak periods if possible; reviews warn that busy hours can mean a wait for service.

The Bottom Line

Zou Zou is a Turkish and Lebanese restaurant in Dubai Mall, Downtown Dubai, with a setting that is a major part of the appeal. Choose it for Turkish breakfast, mixed grills, mezze such as hummus and baba ganoush, or a dinner with views towards the Dubai Fountain. The menu is broad enough for groups, and reviews mention good options for both vegetarians and meat eaters.

Breakfast is one of the clearest strengths: guests specifically praise the variety and freshness, with one visitor returning three or four times. The mixed grills, kebabs, lamb dishes and fresh bread also receive strong feedback. For dessert, baklava with ice cream is worth keeping in mind.

Portions tend to be generous—possibly more than two people need—so avoid over-ordering at the start. The atmosphere is lively and stylish, with outdoor fountain-facing tables, occasional complimentary live music and theatrical steak presentation mentioned in reviews. Service is often described as warm and attentive, but it can slow during busy hours, and one family reported forgotten dishes.

If the view matters, request an outdoor table early or visit outside the busiest periods. A small number of reviews also flag uneven seasoning, hard chips and a serious complaint about discriminatory treatment during reservations.
