Had their oxtail pizza. The consistency of the meat was not oxtail. It was some kind of beef but definitely not oxtail. Maybe to cut costs because oxtail is expensive AF but don't charge oxtail prices when you serving up chuck beef. The flavor of the pizza was good though.

Revisited Zurilee for Galentine's day. It was a wait probably due to it being happy hour all night. There was a DJ and everyone was in good spirits. The food was delicious per usual. Can't wait to return.

Cash only! Great place for drinks and snacks. My group and I came here on sat for a quick snack before heading to a music festival nearby. I didn't expect they'd have a large space in the back. The happy hour cocktails tasted great and were strong. My friends enjoyed their pizza. We ll be back for more.

fantastic oxtail pizza, still thinking about it. the dough was perfect but the pizza flopped a bit over the weight of the generous oxtail portion

It's not one of the best community watering holes but if you want to waste a hour or two I recommend this location.

I will definitely return to this local establishment. I love that it's in walking distance and the food is phenomenal. The only issue i has d is that they don't take cards. They do have an ATM machine but the fee is $2.79. The wait staff is very attentive. The bottomless mimosas are so worth it as it is very tasty. I need a nap after this great meal.

I've been to this place a few weeks back. I sat at the bar and the bartender was very helpful and quick. Decided on the pizza with the pesto. It was slightly greasy but WHO CARES it's pizza! It was very good and flavorful. I will be returning.

A friend recommended this place while I was visiting.... It did not disappoint. I ordered the wings and pizza. Both were delicious.

My friend an I went to ZuriLee on Christmas Eve and it was cash only-- there is an ATM at the back of the restaurant and Chase is two long blocks away lol. The rum punch is A1. It was one of the best rum punches I've had in a while--you can taste the fruit blend and alcohol. We also ordered the MP oxtail pizza which was around 40.00, it was definitely worth the price but I was expecting the pizza to be special. It was just Caribbean style oxtail with cheese and bread. I was very disappointed! I was expecting the sauce and cheeses to be better.
Got takeout from here recently, I've heard good things from people in the area so I was excited to check it out. It's a really cute spot I look forward to dining in sometime soon. We ordered the ZuriLee Pizza and the Flatbush Wings! A solid order, the pizza was good normal cheese pizza with a different cheese blend that sets it apart from what you typically get. If and when I go again I will definitely try one of the specialty pizzas though. The wings were amazing, I don't know what the sauce is it tastes almost like a Buffalo and bbq blend. Whatever it is they should sell bottles of it because it was amazing. Everything was packaged up nice for takeout and it was overall a great meal. I will definitely be back and will be getting the wings again very soon!

When I first came for brunch back in 2018, I thoroughly enjoyed the j*** chicken and corn pizza. I was too full to try the oxtail pizza, but every once in a while it would haunt me, make me wonder "What if..." Fast forward three and a half years later, and I finally came back to try this long-awaited pizza. It was just as delicious as I expected, maybe even more so. So saucy and savory and flavorful with tender pieces of oxtail and globs of melted cheese. Eaters beware: it's rich in a real sticks-to-your-ribs kind of way. It's also a knife and fork job, since the pizza dough was drooping from the heft of the ingredients. They rest of their menu is pretty good as well. We enjoyed the meaty, sauced up wings, and the creamy pappardelle with tender, perfectly seasoned j*** salmon. The salad was pretty standard, but it provided a fresh, citrus-y contrast to cut through some of the heavier dishes. The Crooklyn, a strawberry and black pepper cocktail, was... interesting, as expected, a potent mix of spicy, savory, and faintly sweet. It was stronger than I would've liked. My friends also enjoyed their rum punch and mango margarita, but agreed that both were made with a heavy hand. But two of us are weaksauce, so this might be great news for some of you.

Inviting and chill atmosphere. The front bar has its own vibe and the back where more tables are is its own vibe! Great food and unique drinks. Staff and bartender were really cool and personable. I'll definitely be back.

Service was very slow. Not sure if they were understaffed but there was No reason for us to wait an hour for chicken and waffles. When it came it was good though but that didn’t make up for the slow service. Our bottomless mimosas took a while to refill as well which kind of slowed down our vibe.

Delicious, but expensive. Pizza, brunch, you name it, you are going to be paying lots of cash, which leads in to my first point. This is a cash only establishment. Only a short walk from the Parkside Ave station on the Q train, the minute you walk in, you know it is going to be special. The staff is super nice and engaging. Given the neighborhood, I was fearful I was going to be judged because well, some restaurants do that. This one did not. They were happy to help me and I think were genuinely pleased to see me playing along with the vibe of the restaurant and overall enjoying myself. It also helps that they are super confident in their food. When I first told them about the good things I had heard about their pizza, they blushed, then admitted that they are proud of their offerings. They should, because the food is that good. Nice portions, excellent quality, and yes, though my pizza cost $50 (oxtail is delicious but does not come cheap), I walked out feeling like a better person. Playing soul music from the 1960's and 1970's (I know about 80% of the songs they played) only made me feel better about my choice. Apparently, they used to have a sister restaurant, Mangoseed, down the street. Now they are one, vastly increasing their menu and hopefully increasing their reputation. I will be back, but not alone. This is somewhere you bring someone special, because this food is too special to eat by yourself.
