Zohara Mediterranean Kitchen

Cannot get enough of this place. We will drive 50 minutes, absolutely fighting for our lives in Hartford bound traffic, and once we’re seated that experience is completely erased and replaced with a giant bowl of lamb hummus. Please if you get any starters let it be this. I love mixing and matching the small plates and we share with the table. The Brussels sprouts are always cooked perfectly and the batata harra is soooo delicious. Beware if you don’t like garlic (which would be wacky). The desserts are also lovely especially the pistachio cake. There’s a lot of naturally gluten free options on the menu which is awesome and it’s easy to eat here as a vegan/vegetarian as well. I’ve heard amazing things about the whole roasted cauliflower. There’s an open kitchen and you get to see the puffed up pitas come out of the oven. The staff is wonderful and if you’re lucky Bri will be your waiter. She knows the menu inside and out and will always recommend the best things on the menu.

I'm gluten free my server was knowledgeable in the foods I could and couldn't eat and what modifications were required. I had a lamb dish and it was very tender and a lovely flavor.

I am a huge fan of this restaurant! They have a really great menu of Mediterranean Classics, and interesting options. I have celiac disease, and the server was very knowledgeable about which items were gluten free….which was nearly everything on the menu! The restaurant has a cozy bar, and a beautiful dining room. There were so many delicious looking things on the menu that I haven’t been able to try yet. I will certainly be back to try them all!
