Zoya is a Mediterranean restaurant at 1000 Prospect St, La Jolla, CA 92037, opened in late 2025 by restaurateur Hadeer Ascandar in the heart of the village — joining a Prospect corridor already anchored by NINE-TEN Restaurant & Bar and its two-decade fine-dining run at the Grande Colonial. The menu is built around clean, wholesome ingredients — no seed oils, halal options available — with standouts like chicken shawarma plates with saffron rice and feta lemon labneh, beef tenderloin kabab, Zoya salad, muhammara, baba ganoush, handmade pizzas, and local fish. Family-style mezze makes Zoya an excellent choice for groups. Open Monday through Thursday 11am–9pm and Friday through Sunday 11am–10pm. Le Coq on Herschel approaches the same global-meets-local ambition from a French Asian steakhouse angle.
