If you are ever hungary or in a hurry i strongly suggest staying away from this place. I am not a local. I went into today ordered a burger and fries that should take at most 10 minutes to make. I asked the cashier how long he said 10 minutes i waited over 20 minutes. The worest part he kept going to the back but would never give me an update. I just left and told him to cancel my order. I called the number and it is to the grocery store. Asked to speak with tye manager and the guy told me he wont come in until 7pm. I told him my issues he said call the resturant they are literally spereated by a wall with a door he could yell and they could hear him. He just didnt not want to helo he was too happy sitting be his register. I called my credit card company to get my refund. So dissappointed. I should have read the other reviews.

This is the worst store, I have ever been. They've a big banner outside and inside for $10.00 off when you spend $100.00. We bought so many things, and our bill was over $150.00. We bought 4 Tapal tea, 4 Tea Rusk, safi, Pakolas cans, meat and so many other things as well. This old woman didn't give us any discount. My husband came out to the car and I asked how much it was an if he got any discount. No discount was given, I sent him to ask. She refused to give, and said meat is not included. Nothing show on the banner. I can't believe what kind of customer service that is. I will never go to this place, and necer recommend to any of my friend.

Its no more ZamZam its Afghani Restaurant with Third class food Not Afghani Taste not even Indian Taste Looks like cooked in Home Just heat up here, Zero Customer Service specially the Guy who takes order, with No respect to Customers Doubtful for Zabihah Meat, claims Fresh Farm but have seen a delivery brought from Restaurant Depot As all Restaurant Depot Meat not Halal confirmed by Restaurant Depot. Beware of these So called Restaurants where you dont get any Respect, and charge over even for a small container of Chutney which is offered free by several Indian Restaurants.

My wife and I go there every couple of months. We are gringos but we like the food and I like to patronize no alcohol places and will be checking out more places on your list. ZamZams has good food. They recently changed the restaurant and some guy from New York is running it, but it is still Halal. The Chana was really good. My wife liked the chicken tika masala. The nan was good but the rice was WAY overpriced. Yes, we will be back.

The interior of the place was okay but the karahi was delicious! They made it with curry but I still liked it. The sell meat so there was the smell that welcomes you when you enter the place.

I have been to this place many times and I found this place to be the best in the city and very economic. The best part is that the food is kinda home made, you dont see all that spicy restaurant kind. Very nice place to eat. And its hard to believe that they would fake about halal meat.

ZAM ZAM IS A FAKE. THERE IS NO FARM AND NO FARM FRESH. I WAS THERE ONE AFTERNOON AND FOUND A BIG LOAD OF FROZEN GOATS FROM RESTAURANT DEPOT BEING DELIVERED. IN THE BUTCHER AREA, I SAW CHICKEN BOXES WITH TYSONS CHICKEN. SO THEY CLAIM TO BE FARM FRESH BUT IT IS SAME OLD FROZEN MEAT THAWED TOLOOK FRESH. OLDEST TRICK IN THE BOOK.

Good food. Do have some patience, because most of the stuff is made fresh and there is just one chef, but its's worth waiting. They have tandoor so you can get really fresh roti (bread). Seating is limited...3 tables in the corner of grocery store. Most of the restaurant traffic is for To Go Food. We tried Chicken Baryani and Nihari. Both were of good quantity and were tasty.

Really nice store with good amount of all the required items. Chicken and meat is the best thing about this store as you can have it cut in the same way that you get in Pakistan (plus its skinless). Owner is very nice and helpful. Prices are reasonable as far as the chicken and meat goes.

ZAM ZAM WORLD FOODS IS A BIG JOKE. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.IF YOU ARE INDIAN OR PAKISTANI THAN YOUR VIEW,WILL BE DIFFERENT.HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE NOT DON'T EXPECT RESPECT FROM THE MANAGEMENT AT ZAM ZAM MARKET.I VOTE WITH MY DOLLAR AND I WILL NOT SPEND A PENNY AT ZAM ZAM MARKET AGAIN.I AM VERY TRIED OF CULTURAL MUSLIMS OPERATING SOCALLED HALAL MARKETS,WHEN MOST THINGS THEY DO ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO HALAL!MY QUESTION IS WHO ARE THEY SERVING?

ZAMZAM restaurant food is great I think best in AZ if you consider taste. variety not much to select from. food portions are very small and dont Justify the price which you pay. So I will grade it 2 best (Pakistani/Indian) restaurant after Indus Village.

I will talk about food only here, although I buy halal meat and other grocery from here as well. Best Things: Kitchen is right infront of you. You can watch while they cook. You can advise them what spices to add etc. You can check what level of hygiene is being followed. Their Halwa Poori breakfast is simply delicious. If you never heard about this kind of breakfast, my advise is give it a try. If you are not vegetarian add Nehari to your breakfast and u will just love it. Bad Things: The place to sit is very small. I prefer take outs here. If you are single you should be ok.

Grocery store that serves good meat. They have a smal cafe area with limited menu, but all items are good. Try the karahi chicken, it's very good. The owner while he's there is attentive and courteous. A good add to the Phoenix area halal market.

This is a small grocery/restaurant near Phoenix Airport. We stopped for sandwiches to take on our flight back to Florida. Very nice and clean place. Both chicken tikka and seekh tikka rolls were excellent. Best food I have had on an American plane!
