Incredible, unique food! I was so excited to try the lithuanian dumplings and the mojo pork. The seasoning was on point, and the depth of flavor created was phenomenal. I saw that their menu rotates with seasons, so be sure that I will be coming back to see what's new! This place should be a lot busier than it was based on the food. I will be thinking about this experience for a while.

Food was good but expensive for what you get and it’s too bad the outdoor seating area is loud from traffic.

Love the concept, and really want to love the food, at Zeal but they don't deliver on tasty food. Too bad, since you'd think Boulder would have more of these healthy dining options. At their old location, and now here, I go back after a while when I forget that the food is just plain bad.

Somewhat of an eclectic menu that seems well suited for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free, although they do offer meat dishes. Decor is simple and stylish with booth seating as well as a large community table. I would describe as more of a neighborhood place than a destination.

Food was mixed in quality. The tom kha soup was not bad, but the chicken in it was almost inedible, stringy, undercooked, and tasteless. Curry was rich and good. Kale was quite bad. Burger was decent. Food and soup were all served at the same time, and so were cold by the time we ate them. Overall, I won't return. This my second meal at Zeal and both were overpriced and mixed in terms of tastiness.

Delicious real food. Great ambience and service. Organic, vegetarian & vegan options, as well as one of the best burgers ever! The beef braise is incredible and everyone should try it.
