This was my first visit and definitely 5 star service, super cute ambiance and got to shout out the guys behind the line Tal, Francisco, & Bryce. Answered all my 1st timer questions and helped me settle for the Marrakesh which I ordered as offered and was yum. The poppy sees Madeleine and coconut lemon scone must have. My GFs enjoyed their bowls too. read more

Zoa Moroccan Kitchen - Moroccan Near Me - Houston, Texas

Delicious!! Think of Chipotle-style, customized plates but with Moroccan food. There are a variety of different meats and veggies, my favorites were the kefta, pickled cabbage, eggplant, and saffron rice. Don't skip out on their pastries and sweetened Moroccan mint tea, so so good. Good portion size and reasonably priced. read more

Nothing but great things to say about Zoa. I've actually never tried Moroccan food before. One of my friends goes here frequently and loves it and said I should try. I was told this is kind of like a build your own bowl style of place. I ended up just going with the pre-built Casablanca bowl. The gentleman working said it was one of the most popular bowls. I added hummus and feta for reference. This exceeded my expectations, I literally ate the whole thing. Perfect mix of tangy and creamy. I will most definitely be going back. Also I would like to call out how well decorated the outside is. Such a cute spot to eat outside. read more

Really yummy casual lunch but very small sitting area that can get kind of loud. I'd definitely eat here again. Just get and go rather than sitting and chilling in conversation. read more

Zoa Moroccan Kitchen - Custom bowl with meatballs. The hot and cold tea are delicious! - Moroccan Near Me - Houston, Texas

Amazing restaurant. Super clear and has a surprising amount of parking. My fiancé really enjoyed it!!

Loved the food. The lady at the counter helped us. Limited seating but it's not crowded.

Oh my gosh! I have never experienced Moroccan food before, this is AMAZING! Loaded with flavors. I haven't a clue what I ate, because when we walked in and told them we didn't know what to order, they helped us make selections on our taste. I had a bowl with lettuce, potato cakes, and several other items. The flavors were beautiful. My husband had the sandwich. He isn't much into eating a lot of bread, but this bread is soft and moist that he ate it all! I would recommend getting this to go and enjoying it on a blanket next to the bayou. It's package well for a to go item. I'm so happy we decided on trying something new, and will certainly be back! read more

If this review was solely based on the food, I would have given it a 4 or 5, but because of what I experienced with my food at Zoa, I'm not sure whether I'd like to return. I ordered the Zabat bowl and while eating, I found and inch-long metal hook-shaped wire found in my potato cake. I was very close to swallowing it, but fortunately I noticed it in my mouth and was able to spit it out. I would have eaten the full bowl, but one I noticed the metal I was instantly put off. I have attached an image of the metal to this review. I'm aware that this is a new restaurant, but that is no excuse for having METAL in your food. I was honestly very excited for the food, but I no longer feel like I will be a patron at Zoa in the future. I don't usually write bad reviews, even if I wasn't a fan of the food, but this is the first time I have expedited something like this. Prior to writing this review, I even tried to call the restaurant a few times, but I was sent to a voicemail box which did not have any capacity for any new messages. I'm disappointed by this experience and the service at Zoa. read more

very hidden behind a church but i feel like this place is SO UNDERRATED. best mediterranean bowl i've had. cava could never compare.

got takeout from here tonight and it was very good! everything was extremely flavorful and delicious. i created my own bowl with greens, chicken, fava hummus, red cabbage, chickpea salad, and cauliflower (+ some bread) and i highly recommend. be warned: it is very heavy and filling and the portions are large. if you have a sturdy stomach (or, unlike me, just a digestive system that does it's job) you will surely love this place. also, imo while it was very flavorful, it was almost too flavorful as there was little balance on the plate-- i wish that the greens were undressed and one or two of the aspects of the dish were a little more subtle, but since i combined everything myself perhaps that is my own fault! either way it was a very pleasant experience. :) read more

Holy explosion of flavors! I'm so impressed by how well the sweet, savory, and spicy flavors of the individual ingredients meld together without any one being overwhelming. I got all 3 meats (beef, chicken, lamb) and each was succulent and uniquely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, nothing was oily. Sauce not even necessary. I don't know how they do it. read more

Stumbled upon this place, and decided to give it a chance. I've never had Moroccan food so wasn't quite sure what to expect. Was greeted as soon as I walked in, and was walked through their ordering process. I had looked up their menu beforehand on the website, so I knew what I wanted to try. It's basically make your own ordering system, so you get to choose what to get in your bowl. I went with a bowl with half rice and mixed greens, chicken, cucumber tomato and their red sauce. It was delicious!!!! The bowl was a good size, can tell everything was good quality. I also ordered a Almond Peanut cookie with a Lemonade, it was all great. The cookie was so soft and flavorful. Can not recommend this place enough. I will be going back and taking some friends. Recommend to check out their website beforehand if not knowledgeable in the Moroccan cuisine, their site describes what everything is and what's in it. read more

I stopped by Zoa on a whim and immediately bragged to my husband who was out of town at the time. Let me just tell you, he missed out on FLAVOR TOWN! I built my own bowl, and can't wait to build another, or a sandwich! Sebastian was the employee who helped me, and was very friendly from start to finish. They did a good job of explaining the process and each item. Can't wait to return! read more

While I am still obsessed with the balanced and tasty selection something like a Sweetgreen offers - Zoa does an excellent job at challenging the preconception that a healthy lunch has to come in the form of greens. I tried a plate with Meatballs and Merguez, along with 5-6 of the side dishes/dips. The meatballs the sausage were both extremely flavorful, and amongst the side dishes, sweet potatoes, the onion confit, the eggplant and the cucumber/tomato salads were the standouts. The bread on the side, while flavorful could have been a little softer - but still served as an excellent sauce delivery vehicle! read more

This place is amazing the food and Francisco is the best. The style is like chipotle but all of the ingredients have flavor. The lamb is amazing and all of the halla if that matters to you. The biscotti is also the best desert there hands down with the tres leches in a close second. I eat here at least twice a week and have never waited more then five minutes for my food I 1000% recommend it. read more

I had no idea what to order so I asked the gentleman behind the counter to make me a bowl and it was fantastic

Wow! I went here on a whim for lunch & I will be back very very soon! Flavorful, & hearty. This place has bold flavors. LOVE LOVE LOVE! I had the chicken bowl, subbed salad with chickpeas. NOM! Highly recommend. The person at the counter was very warm & helpful as well :) Great service! read more

From the first minute you walk in the door, the refreshing Mediterranean smells open your eyes to a world of selection. While the 6 faves are all wonderful and the desserts are delectable, the staff and service is above par. So many great things to say about ZOA, but you should really make an effort to check this out yourself. read more

I appreciate the rise of the chipotle style eateries. They are wonderful and more healthy ways to get out of the office and catch a balanced and nutritious meal. The location was small, but was beautifully decorated. read more

Houston has really lacked when it comes to North African cuisine, so this is a welcome addition! We tried the bowl with couscous, one with lamb and one with merguez. The meats were well seasoned, and the sides were all really good. We'll be back soon! COVID note: Plenty outdoor seating! read more

This is my first Yelp review. I decided to write after taking only one bite of my food - it is that good. Zoa is a fantastic establishment serving fresh, delicious and healthy Moroccan food that rivals any I've ever had. They were open tonight when most of this city is without power or water - the only restaurant open in Washington Avenue. Everyone there was friendly and they were working their tails off despite being an unbelievably tiring position during this snow storm. I got the beef tagine bowl with rice, cabbage, carrots, garbanzo bean salad, feta and goat cheese, Zoa green sauce and one other ingredient (that I can't remember because I ate it so quickly). The tagine was perfectly tender and sized, each side brought opened up the possibilities of where this bowl could go. The green sauce was just spicy enough to burn your mouth, but only long enough for you to plan your next bite. If I could go back and get it all again right now I would. Every ingredient added flavor that I never knew I was missing in my life. The portions were perfect, and at $9-11 the value is unrivaled. Although I found this place by chance, I can't imagine living my life going forward without going at least twice a week. Well done! read more

I wish I would've taken a picture of my meal, but unfortunately, I didn't because the food looked and smelled delicious so I ate it immediately. This place is amazing, healthy and super affordable. I appreciate the variety of options they have, with bowls and sandwiches. Both my husband and I created our own bowls. He's doing Whole 30 so it was easy to accommodate. I'm pregnant, so I loaded mine up. I loved the rice base, and beef was tender and flavorful. I got the Zoa Green Harissa as the sauce and it was SPICY, good flavor, but spicy, so next time I get it, I will be mindful of that. Overall, delicious, affordable, filling meal that you won't regret. Can't wait to go back and try some desserts! read more

Who needs Chipotle or Tarka when you got Zoa! Food comes out quick and is very affordable. All the ingredients are fresh and prepared to the highest level. I enjoyed their lamb over saffron rice, red onion, carrots, and garlic aioli sauce. read more
