Great place to catch up with friends, friendly and mostly quiet atmosphere until it switches over to a club after 10pm on Fridays and weekends. Food is okay but nothing worth writing home about. If you like cocktails, do try the Dutch raspberry lemonade!

Beautiful decor that matches the exquisite neighborhood. The food was traditional which I hadnt had much of but met friends of ours who reside in Miami and they helped with the recommendations. The plantains were by far my favorite part of the meal, caramelized and not overly sweet. Their menu is extensive and I will definitely try something different when the next opportunity arises.

So, you wanna be famous? I easy, get your name out and just be yourself. Be free and be unrestrained and your truth will resonate and shine. Go Nyrie Go!!

This place is perfect for your Mediterranean/middle eastern cravings. The place has limited seating area. The server was average with table serves. Dropped some of the servings on table. The food was great and perfect. They wills start wrapping up things right in front of you during the closing. Prices are on a higher side. Their drinks were really good and strong. Overall a good place to enjoy your food with a some drinks. Fine print: “A 20% gratuity will be added to party of 6 or more or checks over 50$”

Really enjoyed the roll up falafel here. The service is good, price is cheap and food is good. They do have belly dancing show on Sundays if you are into that. Overall good experience. Highly recommended.

Super laid back diner and club with many vegetarian and vegan options, delicious food. We had live music on Saturday! On picture fried green tomatoes.

Good food great service

Warm, cozy atmosphere.. Varied menu selections, good portions, comfort food. Try the guiness braised leg of lamb!! Deeeelish! Moderately priced. Nice selection of mixed drinks. Awesome service, of course.

Very good, home cooking style, lebanese food. In addition to the lebanese food, the menu lists burgers. Zuzu (assuming is short for ziad?) is worth the visit, service is cordial, and it is cozy.

Food was delicious! We has the pupu meat platter and although the price felt a bit high, the food was good. The baba ghanoush was missing something, but all other dishes on the platter were full of flavor. The naan as well was fresh and crisped beautifully and the hummus and tabbouleh was particularly flavorful! When we walked in it was a little on the busy side and so our server was very much all over the place.

Nice spot to drink and listen to music. Staff is nice and orders are served immediately.

Great food had the calamari appetizer drinks were great and entrees were excellent

ZuZu is a magical experience. I would come here again any time for a unique and memorable night!

Elegant. It is not. But the hummus, lentil soup, lamb kebab and baklava were delicious. Only downside, limited selection of bourbon.

One of my fave hidden gems in the city for live music and amazing food.

Great place and great food!! I took a special trip to go and give it a try as we dont have Middle Eastern places around my area.

The food is incredible!! I got the kabobs, and the meat was cooked perfectly.

Loved seeing Liam Dailey - Music perform

Good food! But Im not sure why the tip was included in our bill $12 for a $60 bill

Very good affordable place. The brunch menu was excellent!

Great middle eastern food.

My daughter Randi and I, came here for a bite to eat, after visiting a niece at Brigham & Womens.. Not only was the food delicious, but the owner, his wife and their daughter were unbelievably welcoming and nice! They came over to our table, not once, but a few times to make sure we were happy with our meal, and our visit!. After our meal, the owner, brought the most DELICIOUS baklava, AND chocolate baklava to our table.. on the house! I have never tasted chocolate baklava before, and it was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!What a wonderful experience we had! Thank You, for the food, and for making us feel at home! We definitely want to come back

This place is interesting. The food is pretty good. I had steak and it was very good. Surprisingly not many middle eastern dishes on the menu. Desserts are also good. Most interestingly, they set up a dance floor late at night. So its an interesting place to have dinner and spend some good time.

Great food and service!

This is a hidden brunch gem, which is surprising because everyone I know at MIT knows of this place. We were turned off by the ridiculous wait at veggie galaxy for Sunday brunch, came here to no wait, and a delicious, vegetarian brunch selection.

Great place to chill and grab a quick beer in Central Square. Tim is a great bartender!

Usually when Im in here its for Soulelujah soul night on Saturdays, but this time I went for dinner with a friend and was reminded of how good the food is! The sampler platters are definitely the way to go, with generous helpings of multiple small dishes that are perfect for sharing. They also had Lebanese beers in the bottle, which are light and easy to wash it all down with.

Great breakfast burger! Amazing size portions for the price and area, overall good food.

Good middle eastern food!

Its not the fanciest food but the price and quality in Cambridge is hard to beat. The fries are hot and the beer is cold. What more can you ask for?

A nice night with dancing and funky music.

Good music and good selection of beers. The staff is really friendly and helpful. Recommended if you want to chill with friends in an original Central Square bar.

Cute bar, nice selection of beers!

Great place for music and the staff are great as well . Just saw the group called Milkk great new artist. A+++

Shawerna was cold and got wrong plate

Love the place. great food. accomodating staff. good people watching.

Conveniently located with simple menu options. Great for lunch.

The staff is so friendly and helpful! Had an amazing time at the watercolor painting/DJ art show. Def check this place out!

Thoughtful service and quality foods!

Good food and ambiance but the drinks are pretty weak and not super tasty

A fun place to go have a drink and dance. On Saturday nights they have a special night with soul music. Its a very good time.

Delicious + super affordable food

Nice place. Staff were friendly. Food was good.

Despite a strange five dollar cover, Zuzus has never let me down. They may not always have the best DJ, but the people they attract are always cool.

Its good food end they have excellent service now

The food is not super expensive but its also not that incredible. I would recommend it but dont be expected to be blown away or anything.

Great food and drinks. The whipped garlic is a legendary accompaniment with the kabobs.

Awesome DJ, playing all the old school jams.

Always a groovable song on

Went here for a show last night and the interior was very unique. Bartenders and staff are friendly too, a fun place to go out to and dance with some friends!

Avoid. Very nice people serving remarkably mediocre food.

Good food, and amazing portions for brunch. Its a really nice place to go if you are in the mood for leisurely brunch with unlimited coffee refills and no one waiting in line making you feel like you should hurry. The Huevos Rancheros is my go-to!

Good food decent price. Large portions.

Great location for brunch. From great Jumbo Bloody Marys to unique food options this is a must for foodies. My two favorites are the Kathy Bates, which is waffles topped with fried green tomatoes, and the Chicken & Waffles. This is also a great location for late night eats as well.

Been going here about a year. The staff is wicked friendly and the atmosphere is awesome. Friends always want to know why I live in Cambridge instead of Boston... Its funky little places like this. Awesome food, fun drinks and even better atmosphere. Every night is a different crowd of interesting people. Love it here!

Fun and eclectic

Great music

Small. Really good DJ. Affordable.

Large portions is mostly the upside. Great service too!

We had an amazing dinner here, with the plate to share Zuzu, with a mix of different classes of humus, salad, lamp and cheese spinach baked goods, chicken and rice. Super tasty! and fast and nice...

Small but intimate venue.

Great parties.

Cool little place, but small, good music

Excellent atmosphere, great food!

Cozy! Great music DJ Dabu is so creative! I love his set, awesome personality. Good size dance floor, where you can have a drink and express yourself through dancing without being judged. Vj knows her stuff, nice effects! I met some amazing sociable people of all ages. Good energy!

Party of four just passing through Cambridge/Boston. Saw this place on Google and wanted to try it. Food was impeccable. Loads of vegetarian and even vegan options. Our server, Kathy is extremely friendly and likeable. I would come back just for her. 5/5. Wish I could give 6/5 tbh. Have never been this pleased with a restaurant I found on Google. The atmosphere was great. Not too many people. Not empty either. Its 7pm on a Thursday night though. But we were going to go to the Little Donkey, and they were completely packed. So we came here. So glad we did!! The food came extremely quickly; I was surprised. You have to try their vegan baklava!! Ive never had better baklava. So good.

Diverse music offerings (funky, non-top-40) and an eclectic crowd make Zuzu a favorite for the grungy/Hipster (yet occasionally attractive) elite of Central Square -- nearly every night of the week its a buzzing mob of locals. Dont bother with the food (there are much better options in the area), but prepare for Soul-Le-Lu-Jah on Saturday nights -- its an excellent choice for evening libations and dancing.

If you love to Dance ,you want to come here.

Food was good and decent selection of beer but they are very small place its not really suited for larger parties

Nice, hearty brunches. I recommend the Smokey Bones or the Kathy Bates, but maybe split with a friend if youre a light eater because its a lot of food!

Soullelujah should be a lot of fun except their sound systems suck both downstairs and upstairs. Really unclear tone that leaves you unable to hear music well and too loud to make conversation. Could get much better visiting DJs w upgraded system.

Decent food, lots of food, but service was slow.

Great disco on the weekends

Are you looking for the queer dance bar? Because you found the queer dance bar. Cmout pls

Great spot to cut loose and listen to great music

Great local DJ scene every last Thursday of the month.

It was a full of interesting people who gave of a good vibe. Also service was fast, tending towards rushed. They also seemed to be trying to be helpful, unlike some wait staff that choose to act like arbiters of etiquette. They were eight empty seats near the window but the host/bartender said we had to wait - I assume he had a reason. They made good home fries otherwise the food and drunk was bad; the bloody Mary was icy and tasted of celery salt, the hard fried eggs were soft and runny, the corned beef hash was a bland mush, the bacon was unevenly cooked and the toast. The concept of toast is that you have a warm piece of bread, you apply butter and it melts. Otherwise, you dont have toast you have stale bread.

Food was OK. I was very happy with my chicken and waffles, but none of my companions were blown away by their dishes. Service was very slow, and one of our glasses had lipstick stains on it (none of us were wearing lipstick).

I wouldnt knowSuckedHow about you stay open after 4pm and make some money? What a novel idea! And then dont have an attitude when people show up late.

The best chicken and waffles weekend brunch in Boston!

Great venue! Nice workers.

Mediocre food. Had a salad. Too much balsamic vinegar.

Always a good time, small, but intimately fun

Came on a Friday when the cover was $5 but ladies got in free so wooo. Had to go find my friends friend because my friend didnt have cash...but by the time I found him they decided to let him in because he looked sad :)Fun time, good music. Weird that there is a wall of mirrors...but oh well, people loved to dance in front of it with friends!I had the jalapeno margarita (of course) and it was strong, spicy and super salty on the rim. Ususally I go around and get all the salt by the end of the drink but there was no need for that because of how much there was for one sip!

Since it left the Middle East. I’m just going to be real, I feel the quality of music has tanked.

Go on Sat night for Soulelujah! Fun atmosphere and great music to get down and have a good time! The cover/ticket is cash only though - so be prepared!

Their Saturday night soul dance parties are awesome!

Service is friendly, and the food is good and unpretentious.

Good place

Small but fun place to dance. The bar is a bit over priced, but cant best the music and a fun night out of dancing.

I was every much disappointed by the setting all was fake

Was there tonight. Extremely rude. You can do better

Great Southern food recipes on the menu: the chicken, the bacon-cooked spinach and grits like risotto.

Mostly OK music and dancing on Friday for us. Sometimes Saturday when the larger room is open.

Crazy fun dancing, that black DJ is Fire

Delicious, great service with a friendly attitude, the menu had a very wide variety to choose from, and the bar keep was absolutely excellent.

Small place but the event I went to here was a blast. incredibly overpriced drinks but its boston so you expect it.

Fantastic entertainment every night!

Ask for the lamb. Friendly staff

The food here is AMAZING!
