What to Avoid (10)

Food 9

Breakfast platter Net −1

“The breakfast platter is well decorated cheese,sauce,n jam.. Well decorated but no much traditional breakfast items except one bullseye..”
Cig kufte Net −1

“The other issue was that the cig kufte and the other ramadan speciality items got over soon and they didn't have any refills.”
Doner Net −1

“I was surprised that a doner at a Turkish place could be this bad. Dry and over cooked.”
Humus with meat Net −1

“I tried their humus with meat Fattoush salad And mix grill I highly recommend their kebabs they are so juicy and fresh it’s just amazing Humus was just about ok I have had better and tasty”
Lebanese shawerma rolls Net −1

“We ordered the lentil soup, fattoush salad, zou zou appetizer platter, adena kebab, Lebanese shawerma rolls, chicken wings. Lebanese shawerma rolls and adena kebab need some work imo. The lentil soup fattoush salad and chicken wings were the best items.”
Rocca salad with zatar Net −1

“The Rocca salad with zatar and fatoush had the same dressing which defied the purpose of ordering two different salads”
Small mixed grill platter Net −1

“My critiques are that the lamb chops we got as part of the small mixed grill platter was overcooked, and I know there’s little to be done about the grill fire performance that a family ordered, but we nearly slipped on our way out because of all the oil on the floor, even after they put salt to absorb it. Asides from that, a pretty great meal, consistent to the last time I came 2 years ago.”
Turkish omelet Net −1

“i ordered Turkish omelet but it’s normal omelet it’s not special.”
Turkish salad Net −1

“The food quality is so poor, the Turkish salad we ordered smelled so weird due to bad quality goat cheese, veggies were not in a good shape either.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5

Share breakfast. Order a breakfast tray to share: reviewers say the Arabic tray can comfortably feed three, despite being presented for two.

Try mezze. Consider the hummus or babaganoush if you prefer lighter mezze; both received specific praise from returning diners.

Common Concerns

Showing 2 of 5

Steak value

The large steak platter was expensive, oversized for six and judged bland; an à la carte steak was suggested instead.

Slow courses

One visit had hummus arriving after the main courses, followed by the bread a few minutes later.

LOCAL

The Bottom Line

ZouZou is a Turkish and Lebanese restaurant in Jumeirah with a rustic dining room and patio seating. The menu is broad, but the clearest draw in the reviews is breakfast: the Arabic tray arrives loaded with labneh, cheese, hummus, olives, eggs, falafel, vegetables, fruit, foul, sweet cream, honey and warm bread. Turkish breakfast platters also get strong marks, with portions often described as enough for three even when intended for two.

For lunch or dinner, reviewers point to fresh hummus, babaganoush, fattoush, grills and mezze. The food is often described as fresh, flavourful and homemade, and meals can arrive quickly. The setting is warm and lively, with a terrace that suits a relaxed morning or family celebration.

Valet parking is a useful practical extra in Jumeirah. There are a few reasons to order thoughtfully. Portions can be much larger than expected, and the food is rich, so sharing works well.

One group found the large steak platter expensive, bland and wastefully oversized; an à la carte steak was suggested instead. Service is usually attentive, but one visit had hummus and bread arriving after the main courses. If beef or lamb matters for dietary or religious reasons, confirm the meat with staff before ordering.
