Tasty, great food. Haven't had a bad meal. Jerk Chicken, lamb kebab, conch fritters, hummus plate ... everything is delicious. Huge portions. Fun cocktails too.

Food was delicious with ample portions. Price reasonable/moderate. The service was prompt, done well and not rushed. I had the lamb kebob which came with humus & salad. The waiter treated th 3 of us to a free sample of a delicious pumpkin soup. A wonderful experience at a restaurant a little off the beaten path outside of Watertown Sq. (MA). Added benefit: The public parking lot had free EV charging stations.

Nzuko is truly a hidden gem and deserves to be outed! They have been open for about 2.5 years. I would never have stumbled onto this restaurant, if not for my Yelp search for restaurants in the area. It's located in a very residential neighborhood, but easy to get to. Nzuko serves Caribbean and Mediterranean cuisine. They even have a small parking lot right outside. Recommended! Well worth exploring! The service, hospitality and food quality is top notched! You can tell Nzuko cares about fresh, clean ingredients. The food presentation is just lovely and the flavors are innovative. While the exterior of the restaurant is unnoticeable, the interior is absolutely beautiful! Their attention to detail is impeccable; down to their glass wear. Great atmosphere and vibe! This is the menu shared by 3ppl (eating family style is the way to go): --- Chicken Wings ($12.00/5pcs): Nzukodry rub, mitmita yogurt, black vinegar. These wings were boldly seasoned. Very unique flavors for me, as I've never tasted anything like these wings. Very good; albeit they could have used a dipping sauce, as they were dry. --- Meze Board-From the Caribbean ($36.00): This Meze Board consisted of Plantains, Akara, Conch Fritters, French Fries, Griot, & Pikliz. - Akara Conch Fritters; Akara is made from cowpeas or beans (black-eyed peas) by the Yoruba people of Nigeria, Benin and Togo. It is found throughout West African, Caribbean, and Brazilian cuisines. These Fritters were so tasty and just perfect. Eat them while they're hot! They came on top of Tzatziki sauce, which complimented the fritters well. -Griot & Pikliz; a traditional Haitian dish of marinated, deep-fried pork shoulder that's considered the country's national dish. The pork is served with Pikliz, a spicy pickled vegetable slaw. The pork had good flavors but a little too well done for my tastes. The Pikliz was great; tangy pickled slaw (no mayo). --- Meze Board-From the Mediterranean ($38): Lamb, kofta and chicken kebabs, mushroom rice, tzatziki, fall greens, hummus trio. - Kebabs: The lamb & kofta kebabs were very tasty; albeit a little too well done for my tastes. Surprisingly, the chicken kebab was the best of the trio, and still maintained its moistness. - Salad with Tzatziki: refreshing and delicious. - Mushroom Rice: I really liked this flavorful rice but some in my party thought the rice was too hard. - Hummus Trio: chickpeas, sweet potato & red beets; served with pita. This was outstanding. Each type of hummus was distinctive and delicious. Note that you can order this dish as an appetizer, if you don't want to order the Meze Board. We were too full to order dessert but they have delicious dessert options on their menu! All in all, a great find and a great meal. If the meats in our dishes weren't so well-done, this could easily have been a 5 Star review. I would definitely return to try other menu items on my next trip to MA!

Superstar local eatery that specializes in Mediterranean and Caribbean cuisine. The jerk chicken was extremely flavorful (but not oversalted) - a nice spice mix sauce with some tender drumstick with thigh combination. It's quite a meaty dish; the cook on the chicken was a tad over for my tastes but overall the meat was tender. The accompanying vegetables and the tumeric rice pilaf served as excellent complementary dishes. The Fattoush salad dish was quite nice too. A bit too much oil for my taste on the salad, but it was fresh and leafy. I would have preferred a bit more beets than what was provided. The pita disk was crispy and a good accompaniment to the salad. The meze plate of kabobs (lamb, chicken, and kofta) was delicious. The meats were done tenderly (the kofta was a bit tough but the lamb and chicken were nicely grilled and tender inside). The rice pilaf especially had a neat texture, infused with a mushroom flavor. A side salad accompanied the dish. Excited to have tried this place, and excited to return!

This restaurant was so good, I hope more people learn about it! Our server was great and made really great recommendations. The falafels were some of the best I've ever had. They were big and well made. So good. The hummus platter was also amazing and some of the best hummus I've had - I only wish the servings of all 3 were bigger. I had the lamb shank, and it was amazing! My friend who got the jerk chicken liked it, and I tasted it, it was pretty good. The Mediterranean/ Haitian mash up is such a novel idea. The place was decorated well, and I will definitely be back with more people.

Nzuko is a hidden gem! The food is nothing short of amazing. Admittedly, I had no idea of what kind of food to expect, but I was surprised and appreciated the culinary journey. We literally tried everything on the menu...including the specials for the day...and everything was delicious!!! I took my leadership team here for dinner. They were able to accommodate the large without issue and provide great service. The family who runs the business are awesome people! The restaurant seems off the beaten path to me but I'm not familiar with the area; however, it's worth the trek. I highly recommend Nzuko! Definitely check it out!

Food and cocktails were just delicious! Service was great. The hummus appetizer is out of this world. They give you a trio of 3 - plain, beetroot and Sweet potato which was my favorite! The jerk chicken and mushroom pilaf were the other MVPs of our lunch. The gin hibiscus cocktail was also fabulous!

Oh man, their jerk chicken is so good but so expensive. It's $29... you do get a decent amount, but that price is still kind of up there. The chicken was tender and wonderfully marinated. The spices were so aromatic, but the spiciness level wasn't too overbearing. The rice was amazing. I have to go back and try more, but my wallet can't handle it. Definitely a great place to go for special occasions.

Beautiful neighborhood spot with a creative twist of Caribbean and Mediterranean dishes. As other reviews have noted, the chef/owner really cares about what he's putting out to customers and the service is exceptional. We ordered three appetizers to try: the conch fritters, the trio of hummus, and the grape leaves. According to the chef, the fritters are their specialty - my husband loved them with the accompanying sauce (and it's hard to go wrong with something battered and deep fried). They'd pair well with some beer. My favorite was the super fluffy pita bread with the beet hummus, which was a beautiful shade and had some sweet beet flavor. The pumpkin hummus was a tad too sweet for me. Rave reviews for the braised lamb shank and jerk chicken. The entrees are pretty massive and very reasonable at the price point. I wasn't super hungry so opted for the fattoush, which came with grilled, crispy pita. The dressing for the salad was very tart; a touch less acidic and it would've been perfect. Next time, I'd get the kabobs or the lamb shank, enough food for two meals. They also have mezze boards to share a bit of everything if you're coming as a group. There's a small parking lot in front; we snagged the very last spot. Reservations are recommended for weekend dinners, the place filled up quickly.
