    Updating bc it's been a while since I did a review. No notes. None. We ordered a million plates. Still want more. The mussels were my favorite of the day. This is what we ordered. The staff is amazing. Super snowy day and it was great to be in a big booth with 6 of us for a belated Christmas lunch.

    My husband and I came here for a date night while visiting Hartford from Boston, and it did not disappoint. We weren't starving, but we wanted to explore the local food scene after seeing this spot on Instagram--and we're so glad we did. The food was excellent. The chicken shawarma was incredibly flavorful, and I ordered a shrimp dish that had just the right amount of heat--perfectly balanced without being overpowering. Looking around, it was clear we picked a good place--so many tables were filled with authentic dishes, and the lamb shank seemed especially popular. Service was a highlight. Our waiter was fantastic--he walked us through the menu and helped us choose dishes based on our preferences, which made the experience feel thoughtful and personalized. Despite it being a packed Friday night, we were seated quickly, and the food came out fast. That said, I'd recommend making a reservation since it does get busy. The only downside was that the dining area was a bit loud, but not enough to take away from the overall experience. Overall, a great spot for a date night or a lively dinner out. We left really pleased with everything we ordered and would definitely come back.

    Morocco tagine

    The food and service was definitely really good, and I love that about this place. But my main difference with the tagine is the plating is very different it doesn't come in the same bowl it's served in. I went to Morocco recently and actually had it there in the bowl it was cooked in.

    If you are looking for a nice spot to eat with friends, coworkers, or date night, this is the place. I'm a huge fan of Mediterranean food and this place did not disappoint. Walking in we was greeted and received great service. We ordered several appetizers to share: meatballs, beet spread, olives, and oysters. My favorite was the oysters! They were cooked to perfection and the sauce was oh sooo good! I wanted to drizzle that sauce on everything and take it to go. I wasn't a huge fan of the snapper due to it was dry. The chicken, steak and salmon skewers were delicious

    My wife and I recently visited Zohara for a Sunday afternoon date. First class atmosphere. Service was friendly, efficient and effective. As we scanned the Menu, my wife said "Do you want to get the Meshta Feast?" I did! And it was two plus hours of epic Mediterranean deliciousness. A Top 5 Dining Experience of 2025. Zohara's Meshta Feast requires whole table participation. $70 per person. Seemingly expensive, but a good value that yielded meals of leftovers. The meal starts with a salatim, hummus, dip and dippable course. Ours included 7 separate dips and snacks, fresh pita, and veggies. All very good. My favorite is the Muhammara, a bright puréed blend of peppers and walnuts. Course Two includes assorted Mezzes, like the crispy Zatar Chicken, lamb filled Moroccan Cigars, Fattoush and a special Shakshuka. Again, everything was very good. Our large plate course included our requested Seafood Tagine, with almost impossibly tender octopus, mussels, shrimp, and squid, with Israeli cous cous in an amazing saffron sauce. Zohara also served coal-fired skewers of Black Garlic Filet, Harissa Charred Chicken and organic Salmon. The filet was fork-cut tender. They also served a good-garlicky roasted potato and long hot side that was one of the best foods I've eaten this year. The Meshta includes dessert too! We had a delicious and beautifully plated Dubai Chocolate cake, and a phyllo dough creation. I highly recommend the Zohara Meshta Feast. It would be perfect to explore with a group of friends and family. 5 Stars

    Chicken shawarma
    Coco G.

    On a Saturday at 5:15 we thought we were going to be turned away because of the packed reservation schedule but the hostess graciously said we could have a table if we could vacate it by 6:30. Done! Note to self:get a reservation next time! We were seated in a booth by the bar where it was super entertaining to watch the bartenders. Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful, telling us all about the menu and the favorites that people rave about. Honestly, after our experience I bet everything is amazing. We started off with a Negroni, a Limonana, and a pomegranate soda. All of them were aesthetically pleasing and delicious. For starters, we ordered the lamb ragú hummus which comes with fresh baked pitas. I'm not usually a fan of lamb, but wow! It was so savory and well seasoned, it was an explosion of flavor alongside the garlicky goodness of the hummus. We received fresh veggies and whipped feta compliments of the chef, and it was so good!--endives, broccoli florets, purple carrots (I think). The charred broccoli was lemony and also well seasoned. The calamari was so scrumptious and cooked to perfection, and the chicken shawarma was also yummy though sweeter than I expected. We loved every sip and every bite and will endeavor to obtain a reservation next time we're in town!

    Lamb couscous
    Saiteja G.

    This is probably one of the finest Mediterranean places I have been to in the area. This place is perfectly located in the heart of the city with an amazing menu and decent prices. We ordered the crispy zaatar chicken, lamb couscous, meat platter. Each dish was best in its kind. The service was fairly quick and laid back for a weekday lunch. I'll definitely visit again.

    I would totally recommend! We sat at the bar and the bartender was attentive and super kind. The restaurant is a great vibe, can be a little hectic, but only because it's so busy bc of how good it is! Would recommend the whipped feta and getting a few apps and sharing!

    Spicy hummus
    Kamal B.

    Vibes and on point with the ambiance inside being lively. Absolutely DEVINE spicy hummus---SOOO good and you gotta get their fresh-house made pita!!! Falafel is bustttttt with the hummus!!!! Service is fast and very very accommodating! Chicken harrisa plate was delicious too--really liked the harrisa on the side for some extra (needed) flavor! (Personally, did not like the chicken gyros...idk they tasted like tuna to me but everything else I really really liked!)

    Does Zohara have a gluten free menu?

    Is Zohara currently offering Happy Hour?

    Not at this time

    What are the "vegan options"?

    The Falafel is great and the hummus is AMAZING! You can usually ask the waitress for Vegan options! Or just sub your meat for the falafel or extra veggies! I hope that helps.

    What an excellent restaurant - authentic, well-made dishes with huge portions at reasonable prices…read more I've been here several times now and it's been consistent each time. Food - Authentic and well made. For apps, normally not a fan of grape leaves, but theirs was very good. Melitzana was also delicious. I'd skip the falafel next time. Their gyro plate and chicken gyro plate were both excellent (the chicken gyro is essentially a chicken shawarma plate). You can get it with grilled vegetables which I highly recommend. Overall, amazing food. Service - Overall good, can't complain. Tables slightly small if dining for 2 given how huge the plates are, but that's more a testament to their huge portions than anything. Ambiance - Casual yet elegant. Works for a quick bite or a date night. Overall, highly recommend. Great establishment

    Per usual, everything was great!! Our waiter was awesome! The food is always top notch! The wine…read morewas lovely, my nephew had a mixed drink but I can't remember the name of it. He and my sister both had the Lamb Gyro. They both loved it. My first time trying the Chicken Souvlaki, it was delicious! Everything here is so flavorful! It's hard to decide on what to order. It was busy and a good kind of noisy. Nice vibes!! Can't wait to come back and try something else.
