after his arrival in the american states, zohan befriends michael (nick swardson) by helping him against a bullying motorist, and is taken in by him and his mother, gail (lainie kazan). he also meets a fellow israeli named oori (ido mosseri), who owns an electronics store, at a disco; oori recognizes zohan but vows to keep his identity a secret. after being refused by paul mitchell's and other hairstyling salons due to his lack of experience, zohan is taken by oori to an area in lower manhattan populated with middle eastern immigrants, including palestinians and israelis. zohan attempts to land a job in a struggling salon of a palestinian woman named dalia (emmanuelle chriqui). dalia initially allows zohan to sweep the floors, but after losing one of her employees, she allows him to be a stylist when he pleases a senior lady with an exceptional haircut and back room sexual service. zohan's reputation spreads rapidly among the elderly women of lower manhattan, causing dalia's business to prosper, which upsets grant walbridge (michael buffer), a corporate magnate who has been trying to buy out all the local tenants on the block so that he can build a rollercoaster mall.

zohan is eventually identified by a palestinian cab driver named salim (rob schneider), who bears a grudge against zohan for having taken his goat away in palestine because salim spat on him. salim convinces his friends, hamdi and nasi, to help him kill zohan, but after several failed attempts they are forced to contact phantom and convince him to visit new york to find zohan. meanwhile, zohan has fallen in love with dalia and comes clean to her, michael and gail about his true identity. after dalia rejects zohan for his counterterrorist background, zohan decides to leave her to protect her, and confronts phantom in a championship hacky sack game sponsored by walbridge. zohan's fight is cut short with sudden news of the middle eastern block being attacked, and he quickly departs.
