" A memorable dining experience at Zooba! We had an assortment of dishes including falafels and koshari. The atmosphere was alive, and the terrace seating was a top-notch experience in NYC. The only downside was the slow service at times as it got busier. All in all, a great place to explore authentic Egyptian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Veritably impressed by Zooba's dedication to authentic flavors and traditional dishes! I tried the different types of wraps and found them delightful. The staff was polite and accommodating. Felt very bustling at peak hours but the ambiance was warm, not overwhelming. My sole point of improvement would be for the layout of seating, to create a better flow amid the guests. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic meal at Zooba today! The variety of dishes available made it a hard choice, but I finally settled for the hawawshi. It was perfection on a plate! They offer a relaxed atmosphere for enjoying each bite of food. They also have some refreshing drinks to choose from. I would definitely return to try other offerings on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Loved my dinner at Zooba! The Dukka fries were to die for with just the right amount of seasoning. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the Lamb platter as well; it was tender and cooked perfectly. The setting had a delightful buzz to it. Service was quick, but the only hiccup was that they mixed up our drinks. Overall, I am definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zooba gets an A+ for ambiance and overall food experience! From the moment I walked in, I felt transported to Egypt. The Egyptian falafel stood out as the best dish I've ever tasted in New York. The staff was attentive and ensured we had everything we needed. The only thing I would want different is perhaps a broader menu selection. I can’t wait to go back for another round of deliciousness! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zooba provides a cozy spot for a meal amidst busy New York life. The food was quite authentic with flavors reminiscent of Egypt. My family enjoyed the Falafel sandwiches and the portions were satisfying. The only minor issue was that the service lacked warmth; staff seemed a bit rushed. Enhancing that personal touch could greatly improve the experience. Regardless, I recommend Zooba! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried Zooba multiple times, and I always enjoy the food! Their quesadilla-like sandwiches have a unique Egyptian twist that pleases my palate. The atmosphere feels lively yet cozy. However, I did encounter a hiccup with the service during last visit—the wait was longer than usual as it was peak hours. Despite that, I totally recommend visiting this gem for an immersive dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)
