Zula

The food was good on average. Lamb kofta was solid. The rice mix it came with wasn’t cooked so well. Too mushy or something. And the zucchini was good. The salmon was mostly quite good but a couple of the pieces were dry. When the portion is this small you kind of want all of it to be great. Hummus was very good and the bread was solid. The soup we ordered was both too salty and too watery at the same time. Would not get that again. Dessert (halva mousse) was very good and apparently made in-house which is a big deal in this world of reheated factory brownies with low quality ice cream. The service was ok but a little bit sad and the water was only refilled at the end of our meal.

Dining at Zula in Englewood feels less like visiting a restaurant and more like stepping into a bustling neighborhood spot in Tel Aviv. It is a warm, inviting space that clearly serves as a comfort zone for the local Jewish community, which is always a good sign of authenticity. The food was the highlight—specifically because of what it didn't have: excess salt. Mediterranean cuisine can often be heavy-handed with sodium, but here, dishes like the Matbucha, Marinated Beets, and Pargiot (chicken thighs) were seasoned perfectly to let the fresh ingredients speak for themselves. It felt healthy and "clean" in the best possible way. A crucial note for wine lovers: Zula observes strict Kosher dietary laws. You can bring your own wine, but it must be Mevushal/Kosher (like the Psagot Cabernet S

This is what Israeli food really tastes like. Dining at Zula felt like being transported back to the streets of Tel Aviv—where every bite is rich with flavor, warmth, and familiarity. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and comfortable. As a kosher restaurant, it's a rare gem where we could enjoy a delicious dinner with friends and still have a conversation—something that’s surprisingly hard to find these days. We started with hummus, a variety of fresh salads, and their locally baked herb bread—absolutely phenomenal. Everything was seasoned perfectly, and the pickles tasted homemade, not store-bought. The falafel balls were a standout: packed with herbs and bursting with flavor, they paired beautifully with the hummus and tahini. For mains, we tried both the beef and lamb keb

Great little Israeli spot with salatim that holds its own against Laser Wolf (iykyk 😉). Totally unpretentious, just straightforward, delicious food with portions that hit that sweet spot, generous without being overwhelming. The falafel is the best I've ever had, it was actually served super fresh and moist. Our server slipped us extra bread to take home, which was such a thoughtful touch. It’s BYOB (wine must be kosher), which I actually love--and there's a nice wine shop just nearby. The only thing I didn’t 100% love was the plastic glasses, but since there’s no corkage fee I can’t really complain. All in all, feels like the kind of place I’ll be coming back to often.

I just wanted to extend a big thank you for the wonderful experience our doctors had at your restaurant at our Noris Medical Dinner Event. The food was beyond expectations, and the service was excellent — we truly appreciate it! It was great working with you!
