ZuZu Turkish and Mediterranean Restaurant is a 100% halal restaurant on Bussorah Street in Kampong Glam, just next to Sultan Mosque in Bugis. The kitchen spans Turkish, Lebanese and Arabic cooking — charcoal-grilled kebabs, mezze, mandi, clay pot dishes, pide, salads, breads, desserts and more — served in a lively setting made for casual meals, family dining and group gatherings.
The menu runs from cold and hot appetizers and Turkish lentil soup through to charcoal grills, traditional Turkish and Middle Eastern dishes, seafood, wraps and rolls, pide and pastry, and daily fresh salads. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, including a dedicated vegetarian Turkish and Mediterranean set meal, and seasonal menus such as Ramadan iftar sets appear through the year.
You can dine in, reserve a table for a special occasion, or order online with islandwide delivery (free over 100 SGD). Regulars rate the experience highly — ZuZu holds a 4.9 rating across more than 1,600 Google reviews, with guests often mentioning the warm hospitality and the little extras like complimentary dessert and Turkish tea.
On Bussorah Street, in the heritage quarter of Kampong Glam, ZuZu Turkish and Mediterranean Restaurant sits a few steps from Sultan Mosque — a fitting address for a kitchen that crosses Turkish, Lebanese and Arabic traditions. It is a 100% halal restaurant, and its location makes it a natural stop whether you are sightseeing around Bugis, hunting for a hearty dinner, or planning a family meal with a little occasion attached.
The menu is broad in the way Turkish and Mediterranean tables are meant to be. There are cold and hot appetizers for grazing, Turkish lentil soup for a warming start, charcoal grills at the centre, plus traditional Turkish dishes, Middle Eastern specialities like mandi and tagine, wraps and rolls, seafood, pide and pastry, daily fresh salads, breads and zaatar, desserts and drinks. Breakfast is served too, and vegetarian and vegan diners are well looked after — there is even a dedicated vegetarian Turkish and Mediterranean set meal.
The grill is where ZuZu's reputation is built. The Adana kebabs come in lamb and chicken versions, pressed and cooked over charcoal, while the Ali Nazik pairs tender grilled lamb with creamy roasted eggplant puree — a dish regulars single out. For something theatrical, order the Testi Kebab for two, a traditional clay pot kebab that arrives as a small event at the table. Lamb chops and shish round out the charcoal grill line-up.
Alongside the grills, the Mix Mandi has earned best-seller status: a generous mixed mandi platter meant for the middle of the table. Falafel leads the hot appetizers, cold mezzes and the Arabic Salad keep things fresh, and kunafeh with Turkish tea is a sweet way to finish.
ZuZu leans into the shared table. Signature lamb and mixed grill set menus collect the premium meats into one spread, while special sets for three and five people — available through online delivery — turn a group dinner at home into a feast. During Ramadan, iftar sets appear on the menu, and seasonal promotions run through the year.
Ordering in is straightforward: delivery is available islandwide, and it is free over 100 SGD. Dine-in guests can reserve a table online, which the restaurant encourages for family dining, group meals and special occasions.
What guests mention most, beyond the food, is the welcome. Reviews describe flavour-packed dishes and staff who add small touches — complimentary dessert and Turkish tea come up again and again. The restaurant holds a 4.9 rating across more than 1,600 Google reviews, and diners celebrating birthdays and gatherings describe the evening as memorable and genuinely enjoyable.
The setting is lively rather than formal, which suits the food: this is a menu meant for passing plates, tearing bread and lingering over tea. Being next to Sultan Mosque and minutes from the Arab Street area means it also slots neatly into an afternoon exploring Kampong Glam.
If you go, come hungry and come with company. Start with lentil soup and mezze, share a Mix Mandi or a mixed grill, and save room for kunafeh. If you are ordering for a crowd, the delivery-only sets handle the maths for you. And if you are marking something — a birthday, a reunion, or simply the end of a long week — a reserved table at ZuZu is an easy way to make it feel like an occasion.
