About Zul Cafe and Grill
Zul Cafe and Grill is a filipino restaurant in Norwalk, Connecticut. It is listed at 268 1/2, 268 Main Ave, Norwalk, CT 06851, which places it among the local businesses of Norwalk that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.
This group covers Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and other Asian cuisines that are not Chinese, and the etiquette varies by kitchen. Japanese and Korean restaurants often take reservations for dinner and may add a service charge for large groups; Thai and Vietnamese spots are usually walk-in and quick-turnover. Spice levels are frequently adjustable on request at Thai, Indian and Sichuan-adjacent menus, so say if you want it mild or hot. Korean BBQ restaurants typically charge per person for all-you-can-eat service with a time limit, and grills are shared at the table. Vietnamese pho shops post bowl sizes (regular or large) and a plate of herbs, bean sprouts and lime is normal to add yourself. Card and tap-to-pay are widely accepted; cash-only is more common at small family-run counters.

Norwalk is in Connecticut, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Traffic in Norwalk peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Excellent experience! They went above and beyond when I ordered at 7:00 and they were closing at 7:30. I was very tired from work and did not have the energy to cook at home but I was really craving a home cooked Filipino meal! Napakasarap na crispy kare kare. Salamat ate napabigyan ako. Sa uulit ulitin. ❤️🇵🇭

Yummy dinner and dessert! Loved the lumpia and the pork dishes. The desserts are HUGE! Not a whole lot of space inside

Called ahead to ask if the had sweet and sour pompano (one of my faves). They have Snapper Escabeche on the menu, which is prepared the same way (pretty similar to sweet n sour), and also have a dish with pompano (but was craving a sweet n sour type of fried fish). They agreed to make my pompano that way and I asked for the fried rice instead of plain white. It's basically white rice cooked with garlic and it's delicious. I wasn't impressed with the rice as it was made with jar garlic (I 100% prefer fresh garlic), but the taste wasn't bad and my fried pompano fish with the sweet and sour sauce full of herbs and veggies was more than pleasantly satisfied 😋 Will have to come back and try the crispy pata (my other fave) another day we fly into CT for wife's medical procedure. All in all great experience!! 👍 💪🙏🙋♂️

Zul is the kind of place that feels like a warm Filipino hug. Tried the sitaw and kalabasa, homey, comforting dish that tasted like it came straight out of a Lola’s kitchen .Paired it with lechon kawali, I love the lechon sisig and tosilog. ITS A MUST TRY!! TIP Upgrade your rice to garlic rice. Trust me, plain rice is nice, but garlic rice is the main . The Palabok was ok but maybe ask for extra sauce it was a little bit dry but overall the flavour was authentic. Finished strong with the halo-halo—highly recommend adding one to your order. I’d maybe go lighter on the beans next time (unless you’re pro-legume), but overall, it's a colorful, icy party in a cup. Zul. Highly recommend !

This was my second visit and for our first time here would have rated this place 5/5. Maybe we visited on an off day but I didn’t enjoy our experience as much the second time around. Came in with my kids, ordered three boba teas (one strawberry and one taro and passion fruit black tea)…my kid’s strawberry milk tea wasn’t sweet at all, my passion fruit tea was too sweet to the point that I couldn’t drink it). They do have a nice selection of Filipino snacks, tried the shrimp chips and the crispy fried chicken skins, both of which were delicious. Ordered the grilled shrimp with rice for my kids to share and the pancit Bihon for me. My order took 40 Minutes, by the time it was ready my kids had finished eating and were ready to go and I had already had some of my kids’ shrimp and rice (which was delicious and quick to arrive) so I ended up taking it to go/ not eating it. The restaurant is literally someone’s house that’s been converted into a restaurant, so you come in order downstairs and then head upstairs and your food is delivered to your table. It is delivered in takeout trays and they bring you foam plates and plastic utensils. We were the only people eating in on Friday around
