MIDDLE EAST CORNER (ZUZU)

ZuZu is a restaurant and live music space within The Middle East complex at 474 Massachusetts Avenue in Central Square. It operates as one of five adjacent venues in the complex, offering Italian-Middle Eastern fusion cuisine alongside performances.

Expect live music and DJ sets several nights a week in a casual dining atmosphere. The room features a fully stocked bar and a menu blending Mediterranean and American influences. ZuZu functions as the more restaurant-forward wing of The Middle East.

ZuZu is part of The Middle East complex, which the Sater family has operated since the 1970s. The original restaurant opened in 1970 as a Lebanese eatery before expanding into a multi-venue entertainment complex through the 1980s and 1990s.
