bright, tangy flavors - Edit
featuring a well-thought out menu, anyone can dine here happily. zhug, a herbacious yemeni dip with a kick, is brought to the table. it acts as the perfect complement to the small plates format. portions are shared, but satisfying for vegans and non-vegans alike. on my two visits, one with a party of four and the other a casual chat at the bar, i've tried the harissa peanut hummus, citrus cured olives, gluten-free flatbread, muhammara (sans feta), leaf salad, falafel, and vegan coconut custard. the flavors all work in tandem with one another. service is the perfect level of informative and hands-off.
Read morethis is one of many gateways to appreciating the broad swath of middle eastern cuisine, and it's worth a visit in the heights.
Pros: clearly labeled vegan options, rich and sumptuous flavors, hospitable and knowledgeable staff
Cons: pricy but worth it, noisy when busy, no reservations

Very Good - Edit
We love the hummus. We get with no added oil. We also love the Muhammara. You can get a side of raw veggies for dipping. Ask server for vegan menu. Everything is good. One of our favorite places to eat vegan. No reservations. Plan accordingly.

Middle eastern tapas! - Edit
Loved everything about this place: cuisine, mixology, service, and vibe. Clearly marked vegan and vegetarian items. chef put feta on the side to make a vegan moussaka for me and also substituted olive oil in the mejadra for my wife.

Disappointed - Edit
I ate here last night for probably my 10th time between eat in and take out. I always make it VERY clear that I am vegan. The waitress last night informed us that the bread that has been served to us every other time was NOT vegan and never has been. It’s what they have served us to eat with the clearly marked vegan hummus. Then we were charged $3 for vegetables as an alternative. I emailed today and the owner responded immediately with an apology, which I appreciate, but he certainly didn’t seem to get the magnitude of this mistake that was made multiple times. Not feeling the love any more.
Read moreGreat ambiance, great service, great food, and great drinks. Love this place. Small plates to share. They definitely need to add more vegan options though as they are limited -and two of them are hummuses (hummusi?)

Small-plate concept - Edit
We tried and enjoyed these vegan small plates: mejadra, lentils, onions and rice; hummus with burnt onions and nigella seed; and green beens with citrus olive oil and almonds.
Read moreThe vegan and vegetarian items were clearly marked on the menu; choices were plentiful; portions were plentiful- three people ordered four plates, and one was not finished. Bread was included with the meal.
Setting is contemporary, but concrete floors and high, open ceilings make for a noisy setting even when partially full with patrons.
Pros: Small-plate concept , Easy sampling, group sharing , Delicious food
Cons: Loud setting, noisy acoustics , Parking around the corner is limited

Amazing - Edit
I was able to go to Zhug once before the pandemic and it was really a special meal. They had a good amount of vegan options and a couple that could be veganized. The leeks were out of this world. It was a little loud, but that’s not an issue now with takeout only. I appreciate their commitment to masks and social distancing. I’ve gotten takeout a few times and it’s always been delicious.
Read morePros: Delicious food with unique flavors
Cons: Dine in experience has very loud music
