Nzuko offers the tastes of the Caribbean with the benefits of the Mediterranean diet. The idea of marrying these two seemingly disparate cultures may appear to be a stretch at first glance. The common thread, however, is their joie de vivre. Sunshine, happy people, emphasis on quality of life, and great food and drink are central to both places.

Excellent. From start to finish!! Everything on the menu was divine. The hummus, lamb shank were so delicious. The key lime pie so refreshing. Very cozy spot for a family dinner. The owner is very sweet and attentive. Definitely will be back.

My soul needed this meal! The staff was absolutely delightful and very accommodating with my food allergies —the meal made was just perfect. Probably the best salmon I’ve had in years. The plantain dish wish delicious as well, with a great balance of flavor. All the dishes felt like they transported me somewhere else. A truly unique menu and expertly executed. I will DEFINITELY return.

Great food, friendly staff and nice decor. Food was very tasty. The chicken wings and warmed rice pudding dessert were my favorites. My sister and niece loved the falafels. We all agreed that we would come back!

The food is fantastic! I highly recommend the Spiced Lamb Shank. It falls right off the bone and the spices are perfectly blended. Forgot to take a picture but thats how it goes. Did get the Falafel which was also amazing. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.

We celebrated my sister’s 40th birthday here. Perfect spot for a dinner with a large group of family and friends. I love the ambience, the fresh and modern decor and the Afro and reggae beats in the background. The service was EXCELLENT- everyone was exceptionally attentive and pleasant. The owner checked on us several times to ensure all was well. We had small kids, one who was very picky, and they went above and beyond to prepare some kid friendly options that weren’t on the menu.

First time visiting based on the reviews. Ambience was good. Service was also great. Got the veggie combo platter with hummus and falafels. Food was indeed great tasting though felt food was bit overpriced and especially for the quantity provided. For the price the place wasn’t set for a fine dine. Though, food did taste great.

Wow! I’m so surprised we didn’t know about this place. The mediterranean platter and the jerk chicken were delightful. While the location is small the environment is vibrant. We were surprised to be the only ones in the restaurant that night (Monday evening) particularly because of how good the food was. If you haven’t tried it you definitely should.

Truly amazing restaurant tucked away on the outskirts of Watertown. Nzuko has ample selections for vegans – the Garden Mezze Board was perfect all around!! – and the chef is able to modify the dinner entrées with tofu!! They also have an absolutely delicious mock tail on the menu that is a must order. The vibe is city chic, gracious, and warm. This is a perfect spot for a date or girls night out. We will definitely return when we are in the area!!

Simply put, Nzuko is awesome. I’m a 13 year old, who has a lot of food restrictions due to allergies, and am relatively picky, but wow, the food here was incredible. They have very unique dishes, and everything we got (mac and cheese, grape leaves, poached salmon, orzo salad, and jerk chicken) were all delicious. I was very pleasantly surprised by the amazing flavors and textures.
