    Best dining experience of my LIFE. The flavors were outstanding and the service was not only kind and fun but also incredibly generous. My party and i felt so loved by everyone especially our server katy! She was so amazing and so attentive but not in an overbearing way! Loved Zou Zou’s, and would HIGHLY recommend. And this is coming from someone who's lived in NYC for 4 years and loves food.

    Absolutely FANTASTIC! I would travel back to Newark just to go! Decor was awesome. Place was big but so well designed. Food was incredible. Every bite of everything we ate was tasty. The staff couldn’t have been any better. We had 2 littles and they were SO kind to them. And engaging. Note they have very limited children’s menu options BUT our kiddos shared a skirt steak and loved it! They ate the entire thing! Can’t say enough good!
