Transporting, and tasty food 8/26/2003

I heared about Zerza from a colleague at work. So I took my date last night for dinner. It was really relaxing to sit on the couch in the small Moroccan room like, we started with the soup (it was delicious), then we had Zaluk, and one pissaladiere... they were both tasty. For dinner I ordered the duck, and my boyfriend had lamb with Quince (never had quince before, but I was glad I tried it he said) we end up spending the whole evening there the service was friendly and prompt, I was glad I found my new hang out place...Zerza that is :) Pros: Cool ambiance, delicious menu, friendly staff more

This is one fabulous place 8/25/2003

I read the NY Times review about Zerza, so I had to go check it out since it was a really good article. I decided to go this past Friday with a couple of my girlfriends. We were pleaseantly surprised. A Moroccan restaurant with a lot of class. the music they selected was nice, and the servers were very friendly. The food was excellent, I had the lamb with apricots and prunes, my friend had the shish kebab, my otyher friend had a lamb cous cous, it was excellent food (I would skip the grill) after all why would you pass delicatly prepared food like the tangines and the basteelah and go for simple grilled kebab!! come on!!! it's like going to France and eating at a MC Donald!!! This place is a sure winner, we loved and we are going back Pros: Moroccan specialties, music, and the crowd, ambiance is romantic Cons: ? more

God-Awful Experience! 8/23/2003

For starters, this place is very understaffed. We waited 30 minutes before anyone even approached our table to take a drink order. After waiting another hour and ten minutes for the food to arrive, my grilled lamb chops with spicy mashed potatoes turned out to be a little shish-kebob and a small pile of greasy french fries! My date's order was equally depressing. The food was bland and ill-prepared. They turned up the Morrocan music to a deafening roar (most everyone were covering their ears) as a goofy belly dancer swirled around trying to pull men out of their chairs. The service was terrible! I will tell anyone and everyone I know about my worst dining experience in 4 years of NYC living. Pros: None Cons: Crowded, Noisy, Bad Food more

jewel of the east village ! 8/20/2003

Everything from the service to the decor and food will make you feel like you are in Marakesh itself! I had a truely superb dinning experience !!! The food is perfect : particularly the bastilla, which is the moroccan chicken pie with cinnamon, onions and almonds, I tried all the moroccan restaurants, but they don't have the authentic bastilla, which has to have a balance between salt and sweet, and at Zerza, the bastilla is like the one you have in a moroccan family! so gooooooood! the desserts ( I had the rose and fig ice-cream) are fabulous ! I didn't know that Morocco had good wines, so don't hesitate to try the gueroune (?) wine, it's really good. I will definitely come back with my friends ! Pros: outstanding food, colorful, warm place, romantic Cons: ?, ? more

Simply the best moroccan restaurant 8/19/2003

This must be one of the best moroccan restaurant I was given to try. The food was simply exquisite you guys have to try that the tagines, the meat litteraly melts in your mouth, and the couscous cooked following a secret recipe, leaves you hungry for more. The staff is really friendly and helpful, and the restaurant itself makes you feel like you like you just landed in Morocco as soon as you step in. Two thumbs up!!! ( and even more) Pros: Food all the way, Service, decor more

waited 3 hours 8/18/2003

A group of my friends and I went there on a Friday night. The rating was high so we were excited. The food was mediocre, but what really got us mad was the service. There was only one waitress on the whole floor. It took 1 hour to get our drink order, then another 2 hours for our food to arrive. We were so hungry by the food came, we couldn't decide if the food was good or not. I've never had such bad service! This restaurant's rating is all wrong! Pros: none Cons: service more

worth checking out 8/13/2003

Been to Zerza three or four times now. Had the duck tagine: large portion, very tender, but the peppery spicing didnt quite prevent it from being a bit too sweet. Tried the lamb kababs which were just ok. On the positive side, liked the Lamb with peas and artichoke tagine -- lots of artichoke and nice flavor. My friend ordered the ground beef kebabs which were richly flavored. Another time a friend had the merguez sausages; while the sausages were ok in themselves, the carrot puree was very interestingly spiced -- rose leaves it turned out. more

Had the pissaladiere and a duck tagine (the meat is so tender that it melts in your mouth, the spices so well combined) and I must say that when I visited Morocco a couple of years ago I did not have such good food! I tried also an amazing ice-cream (zerza ice-cream !! so delicious, you'll get hooked !) The pissaladiere is so gooood, not to mention the rest !! ;-) The place was crowded, but the service was very good ! The staff is friendly : I highly recommend this place! The food is excellent and the service very pleasant! Forgot to mention that the decor is beautiful, warm and cozy > great for a date ! And the bellydancer was good and beautiful !Zerza is not only a bar though, but also a restaurant !! Pros: food, service and atmospher, bellydancer, music more
