ZHUG: Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Street Food in Nottingham

Mediterranean Street Food

Welcome to ZHUG

Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Food in Nottingham

ZHUG serves Mediterranean and Middle Eastern street food from two kitchens in Nottingham. The first opened on Bramcote Lane in Wollaton in 2021. The second is on Broad Street in Hockley, in the city centre. The menu is the same at both.

ZHUG is not a Lebanese restaurant. It is more than that. Not a Greek one either, nor strictly Middle Eastern, because it draws on all of them at once. Mediterranean pitas sit alongside Middle Eastern ones, gyros and tzatziki next to hummus, labneh and falafel, halloumi fries beside a lamb kebab. The best of a whole region on one menu, which is what makes ZHUG its own thing.

Mezze to share, pitas, meal bowls and sides, with the green chilli sauce the business takes its name from. Everything is halal. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options run right through the menu rather than sitting in a corner of it.

Named after the sauce

Zhug is fresh coriander, parsley, green chillies and garlic with aromatic spices. It goes with almost everything we make.

Made for sharing

Mezze is how we like to eat. Hummus, halloumi fries, za'atar potatoes and a pile of warm pita in the middle of the table.

Menu

Mezze built for sharing, handmade Mediterranean and Middle Eastern pitas, meal bowls with fries or rice, sides, desserts and a full drinks list. Everything is halal, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten free choices throughout.

The ZHUG menu card: mezze including speciality hummus and halloumi fries, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern pitas, meal bowls, sides and pita, with prices.

Allergen Notice

Unfortunately, we are unable to serve allergy customers with a SESAME or TREE NUT allergy.

Due to extensive use of sesame throughout the kitchen in the form of sesame seeds, hummus and sesame tahini and the use of Pistachios, Almonds, Coconut & Cashews.

Everything tastes better shared

Order a few things, put them in the middle of the table and let everyone dig in. That is how we eat at home, so it is how we cook here. Warm pita, bowls worth passing round and enough on the table that nobody has to be polite about seconds.
