Since it opened a few years ago, I make it a point to visit during our yearly trip to Kalamazoo every May. The place never disappoints, whether it's a long dinner with ten friends, a music night where my 3 year old daughter dances in front of the stage or a shorter meal for four. The ambiance is authentic, the... More

Great experience, every aspect exceeded my expectations. Super friendly staff, fun and creative décor. Soothing water fall, live music (at least on this particular Saturday). Fantastic menu and out of this world food and Iraqi tea. Didn't care for the rice pudding yet the salad, appetizer, soup, and main dishes were extraordinary. Fair prices and large serving sizes.

This is an authenic mid-eastern place. The menu has a lot of variety, and the food is excellent. I love lamb, and there are several choices here. I had leg of lamb this time, and it was wonderful. My wife had a vegetarian dish, and enjoyed it very much. The salads were large and very good. The atmosphere is authenic.... More

I had the Chicken Biryani and a delicious red wine. The atmosphere at Zooroona is fun and funky with lighted trees and even an option for floor seating in a more private setting.

We went in for a quick dinner before heading to a party at a friends place... We were immediately seated which was good. We ordered and the waitress didn't write down our order. Red flag number one! We got our lentil soup and bread.... It was solid. Not amazing but solid. Then we waited and we waited and we waited....... More

Nice family owned and operated restaurant. Excellent food. Affordable menu. Delicious. Cool ambiance through decor. You can even eat reclined around a table, a la Middle Eastern tradition if you so choose - pretty cool option. Great place to try for something different!

I have eaten many times at Zooroona and have never been disappointed. The prices are moderate and the food is delicious. I especially like their shrimp, salmon and whitefish. They also have a good wine selection.

This restaurant has the most delicious, fresh and healthy food in the area. The atmosphere is serene and calming. The serve is very good and welcoming. Special diet needs are well received and they are very accommodating. If you are a lover of middle eastern cooking, this is the place to go!. Lot's of variety..

We almost hesitate to write this review as we would hate for our favorite restaurant to become so popular that we would have to wait to get in. They do take reservations though. We found Zooroonas over 2 years ago and every time we go there we are rewarded. First the atmosphere is lovely from the twinkle lights on the... More

Zooroona is a totally fabulous dining experience, and then some! We'd say it is the best Middle Eastern food we've ever had, but that is simply not saying enough. The food is among the very best we've had anywhere of any cuisine, from Seattle to Paris. It is inspired! It is served simply, with vision rather than pretense. The prices... More
