Review of Zhug

Took myself on a solo date here on a Monday night whim, and WOW was I so glad to have gone. #1 nearly the entire menu was gluten free, including all three dessert options. #2 unlike a lot of places that offer a gluten free dip with a sad/unappetizing bread substitute, Zhug makes their own gluten free bread, which I was assured was celiac safe by my kind, knowledgeable server. It was some of the BEST gluten free bread I’ve ever had. I ate the bread with a lamb/hummus dish and it was excellent, and I don’t particularly care for bread or hummus usually! Since I went at the end of the night they had run out of a few menu items which was disappointing but completely understandable. Disappointing because I was tempted to try everything on the menu!! I am not one for restaurant sundaes for dessert but the ice cream was some of the best I’ve ever had, refreshing and full of flavor surprised and textures. I went to Cleveland to visit a friend, and I’m looking forward to my next visit for a lot of reasons but especially for the chance to eat here again!! Don’t miss it.
