Hand Selected,
Authentic Spices

Our spices are treasures from our travels to the eastern Mediterranean. Carefully chosen to craft authentic sauces and marinades, they bring a world of flavor to your table.

Sesame-Topped
Falafels

Our falafels have fans crossing state lines! Topped with sesame seeds, they showcase a beloved Mediterranean and Middle Eastern tradition.

Long Grain
Basmati Rice

We use the longest grain rice in the world, Royal Basmati. Grown in the Himalayan foothills and aged for at least twelve months, it’s aromatic, flavorful, and delightfully fluffy. There’s nothing quite like it!

Zhoug Salad
Dressing

Our signature salad dressing features Pomegranate Molasses, reduced from fresh pomegranate juice into a sweet and tangy syrup that adds a delightful twist to any salad.

Our Journey

Zhoug Mediterranean is your go-to spot for fresh, authentic, and healthy Mediterranean food with a Middle Eastern twist. Starting as a gas station pop-up in Lawrence, Kansas, we quickly became a local hit, ranking #9 out of 450 restaurants by Restaurant Gurus. Our customers loved our falafels so much, they called them “life-changing” and even crossed state lines to get their fix! Now we’re excited to bring those flavors to a quirky, fun downtown spot on 39th Street in KC.
