What can you order for takeout at Zazu in Chelsea?
Three formats cover almost every craving and every kind of day. Wraps are the fast, handheld pick for a working lunch; bowls are the lighter, build-your-own option; and mezze spreads are made for sharing across a table or a meeting. Each one travels well because we pack sauces and crisp components separately, so nothing goes soft on the way to you.
| Takeout format | Best for | What’s in it |
|---|---|---|
| Pita wraps | A fast, one-handed lunch at your desk | Stuffed falafel or shawarma, tahini, pickles, fresh salad in warm pita |
| Grain & salad bowls | A lighter, fork-and-knife meal | Your base, a protein, hummus, greens, and toppings you choose |
| Mezze spreads | Sharing in the office or at home | Hummus, salads, dips, and warm pita to pass around |
Is Zazu good for a fast Chelsea lunch?
Yes — speed is the whole point. Zazu was built for the pace of Chelsea, where a lunch break is short, and a good meal shouldn’t cost you half of it. Order ahead for pickup, and your wrap or bowl is ready when you walk in, or get rapid local delivery to offices and apartments around 23rd Street, the Flatiron edge, and the rest of the neighborhood. Because we fry falafel and build bowls to order, “fast” never means “sitting under a heat lamp.”
Want the signatures? Our stuffed falafel, Mediterranean bowls, and pita wraps are the most popular takeout items.
Does Zazu have halal and vegetarian takeout options?
Both, and plenty of them. Falafel, hummus, salads, and most of our mezze are naturally vegetarian, and many are vegan depending on the sauce. If you’re looking specifically for halal Mediterranean food in NYC, Zazu is an easy, everyday pick. It makes group orders simple, too — one Chelsea takeout order can feed meat-eaters, vegetarians, and vegans from the same menu without anyone settling for less.
Can you order Mediterranean catering in Chelsea?
Yes. For larger orders — team lunches, meetings, events — our Mediterranean catering scales the same street-food menu into platters and spreads. It’s the same made-to-order food, just packed for a crowd, which makes it a reliable choice when you need to feed a Chelsea office without a dozen separate delivery orders.
