Last night we tried Zooroona’s. It’s owned by the same people who own Tiffany’s and Saffron, the high-quality Indian Restaurant. I went on an invitation by my friend, Jeramiah. Zooroona’s caters to Middle Eastern and Arabic cuisines and we started out with Turkish Coffee. It was hot and curiously strong and served in a demitasse cups. We were supposed to have an apparizer called ‘batata’ but our server forgot it off our order. I ordered Chicken Schwarma and Miah got Beef with Figs. I have to admit that the food we got was top-notch. It was everything I was expecting and the garlic aioli was perhaps the most delicious spread I’ve ever had in my life. It was amazing. We ended with dessert, a piece of baklava for me and an unusual cake/mozzarella pastry for Miah. The food value was well worth it and I’m really looking forward to coming back. I can easily overlook the botched appetizer order, with service and food being so good.

This helps restore my faith that there are some restaurants hehe in Kalamazoo that are worthy. Overall rating 9/10. Only ding was forgotten order.
