The lamb shank was incredibly tender & flavorful, melting in the mouth with every bite. The rice offered a rich, authentic taste that truly evoked the essence of the Middle East. The calm atmosphere, free from loud music, made for a relaxing lunch. Despite it being quiet, our food arrived quickly-in just 15 minutes-& exceeded our expectations in both speed & quality. Love the vibe & the small talk with the owner, keep the hard work, Im convinced that hidden gem will rise up!
I ordered Jordanian mansaf but I did not like it .
First the rice doesn't taste like how it should be & does not look like it with very dark yellow color.
They toped it with parsley which should not be on mansaf & the used the in the pace a regular bread instead of Jordanian shraak bread .
Zam Zam Grill Restaurant really delivers! The food looks vibrant & full of flavor. The lamb shank stew with chickpeas & vegetables looks tender & hearty, while the lamb chops with mixed veggies seem perfectly cooked & juicy. The saffron rice adds a colorful, aromatic touch. & that dessert-with its creamy cheesecake, pomegranate seeds, & a drizzle of sauce-looks like the perfect sweet finish. If the flavors match the presentation, this spot is definitely a win. Would you recommend any specific dish as a must-try?
We shared the chicken rqaqat, lentil soup, pulao rice with chicken, & the eggplant kafta, & it was all very good. We loved the kafta the most. The owner is super friendly & helped us make the best choices when ordering.
Freaking fantastic food! Get the lamb shank biriani, it's well cooked, fork tender, & juicy over a fantastic rice that had a complex yet accessible spice blend.
Delicious food! Ordered roasted chicken & rice with a salad for take out & everything was excellent. Great quality ingredients with the right amount of spices & flavour. Service was prompt & attentive. Would definitely recommend it 💯

I visited this spot for the first time now knowing what to expect. They offer a wide variety of food. Including American fast food, Middle Eastern & Indian. I ended up picking the chicken beryani. The price was fairy fair for the amount of food given. The rice was fluffy & fresh with beautiful authentic aromas. The chicken was cooked on the grill, not too dry but still well done. The food was not too spicy, couldve been a bit more spicy but overall it was a nice dinner.
To be honest, this restaurant was a chance find.. but what a Gem!! Before you step foot into the restaurant you can smell the mixed grill & spice scents & your appetites just open up! We walked in & were greeted kindly by Mohammed (the owner) & shown our table, we explained that it was our first time here & he was happy to go through the menu & provide us with his recommendations as well as the top sellers. We started with the Lentil Soup (delish!!) & as we were a group of 5 we shared a large Fatouch Salad, Hummus, & Muhammarah as appetizers, & all were very good. As for the mains we went with the owner recommendations - Lamb Shank Mussaqa (x2) & Lamb Shank Pulao Rice (x2) & our daughter had the Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad & all dishes were exceptional.. the lamb was tender, moist & fell off the bone perfectly seasoned & cooked.. I sampled my wife's Lamb Shank Mussaqa & the burst of flavours you get from the combination of veggies & Lamb is almost symphonic (definitely having that next visit). The portions are generous & well priced. We will definitely be going back to Zam Zam!
Listen, I never put reviews online, but I couldn't go sleep without given a review for this amazing restaurant. I came today with my friend & I swear, I will talk about my amazing experience in this restaurant to all my friends, because Mister Muhammad deserves that. I don't even know where to start ... First of all : This restaurant needs to be known !! Mister Muhammed, the owner & the cook was soooo nice ! He was always making sure that me & my friend liked the food & that nothing was missing . We ordered an appetizer & we also wanted to have calamari as another appetizer, but it wasn't in the option. Well, Mister Muhammad told us he can charge us half price (11$) for a calamari appetizer. When the calamari came, it was a big plate! I was so surprised. It wasn't an appetizer portion ! For the principal food we ordered the plate of meat. It was so big, for only 23 $ I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought the meat would be really small, since it was only 23$, but it wasn't ! It came with fries & Mister Muhammad told us if we want rice also, we can have rice (without charging us). For all the food I enumerated, plus 2 drinks, we just payed 63$. Sincerely, I couldn't understand why there was no line up for this restaurant . It was that good! The food was really fresh & delicious! To be honest, this has to be my best experience in a restaurant . I hope a lot more people will know about this place, because Mister Muhammad cooks with his heart. He doesn't even care about the money. Thank you very much Mister Muhammed! I will come again insha Allah!! May Allah bless you & bless your business .
Food was so good & fresh. The owner is so friendly & welcoming. I will definitely go again. We loved the tacos, the grilled chicken with rice, the salad. 10* I dont usually post reviews but i had to share with you guys. Plz go & enjoy!
