About Zhug

Zhug is a restaurant known for its incredible food, offering dishes such as falafel, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, moussaka, and beef kofte. Tucked into the lively Cedar-Fairmount corridor of Cleveland Heights, Zhug is a Mediterranean mezze spot featuring generous portions and bold flavors. The atmosphere is described as casual but lively, making it perfect for a date night or drinks with friends. Despite the restaurant being quite loud at times, the ambiance is welcoming and high-energy, filled with natural light and modern decor.

Zhug caters to dietary restrictions with a great selection of gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options, ensuring that most dishes are carefully controlled to avoid contamination. The menu is mezze-forward, ideal for sharing and experimenting, with highlights including a hummus trio and various vegetable plates. The food comes out quickly, and the service is noted to be attentive, with staff eager to enhance the dining experience, such as providing to-go containers for favorite dishes.

Parking can be challenging, but the memorable culinary experience, including unique zero-proof cocktails and inventive desserts like vegan coconut custard, makes it worth the visit.

I've been to restaurants all over the nation and this is one of my absolute favorites! They have tons of GF options. All their food and drinks are phenominal and the staff is amazing to boot.

Excellent, creative menu. I’m GF and the flatbread option is delicious. Hummus is fantastic as were the brussels. Eclectic drink options. Great service. I’ll be back!
