It was always a good dining experience at this small yet very friendly family owned resto. Mohammed was amazing! We enjoyed all dishes! The Lamb Shank was a favorite. It was full of flavor, so tender & juicy! The grilled Sea Bass & Calamari were equally delicious too. Portion was generous. We left the resto satiated & happy ☺☺?.
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!
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?
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.

the the lamp shank with pulao rice has a special taste: I recommend it for people who like to try new dishes. The service is excellent & the owner is so friendly ! getting back to try something different as the menu is varied!
Wow! Our friends brought us here for the first time last night & it was a great experience. The owner was lovely & helped us decide what to order. Every single thing we tried was so truly delicious that it's hard to decide what my favorite dish was. The Kafta Kebab with cherries were such a nice surprise, & the lamb shank was roasted to perfection. We will definitely come back on our next trip to Montreal. Thank you so much a great experience!
Delicious food, slow cooked lamb is amazing! We took the lamb fatte mawzat & the lamb shank byrani & they were both incredible. Great service. Will go back for sure 😊

The quality of the food is amazing. The fatoush salade is delicious , & the Lamb is Amazing. We got the lamb shank Pulai Rice & the Lamb Shank Musssaqa & ITS AMAZING
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!
The owner/chef always greets you with a smile & prepares some of the most amazing Middle Eastern-style dishes. This is definitely a hidden gem in Ahuntsic & a must visit if you are in the area. The lamb shank is delicious here.
