Falafel was prepared and fried fresh to order. Spice and sauces were perfect. The hummus and fries were excellent too.

Hands down the best chicken Shawerma platter I had in Vancouver. Service was good maybe it could be faster but the staff are very friendly…
24 October 2023 13:29
Zamzam is my absolute favourite restaurant! The menu offers a wide variety of options, but my personal favourite is the falafel wrap! The falafel here is nothing short of outstanding! Absolutely perfect! Crispy and mouthwatering! The staff are attentive, friendly, respectful, and knowledgeable about the menu. They are more than happy to make recommendations and accommodate special dietary requests. I hope they open more branches across the lower mainland but until then I am more than happy to drive 50 min for that excellent and authentic falafel wrap!

My 2 sons want me to drive from Richmond to Vancouver (Zamzam) to buy Zamazing Box. Even though we have many shawerma restaurants in Richmond but they like only Zamzam. The food is really so tasty, staff are super friendly & the place's vibe is so positive.

Extremely friendly owner from Irak. Served extra amount of different things for us to try. Didn't want to accept tip until we had eaten there at least once to ensure we liked their food. Best hummus ever! Totally recommend it.

We were visiting out of town and this place came up in the search. It was amazing food with lots to eat, great price, and the service was 5 stars for sure. Like the owner said, "We will be again. "
15 June 2023 23:30
Excellent food, and value.
It was also a superb first time visit! The owner overheard that this was my first time there and cared very much about it to ensure i would return again. Definately will do, along with future catering orders from my company and referrals. Thanks for the very kind gesture with the drinks and not letting me leave a tip, lol. Still feeling guilty about that! Thank you again owner, sorry i didnt get your name.

Very tasty food, well prepared and they do not shy away from filling the plate! I'll be coming back again and telling my loved one to eat here!
29 May 2023 6:03
An amazing place to grab a quick shawarma. The quantity of the plate meal is sufficient for 1 person. The hummus is yummy and the falafels are delicious.

There is always a line to order, but the place is open till 10: 00. Prices are slightly on the higher end for middle Easter cuisine, but there is authenticity in the taste.

The service is quick, the servers are polite and friendly, and there is ample seating for groups of 4-5.

What an incredible experience at Zamzam grill! We were visiting from out of town and Ameen is hands down the best host and the food matched plus beat all expectations. We got 2 chicken shawarma and 1 falafel wrap, they were juicy fresh and super tasty. Highly recommend this place and we will surely be back when visiting Vancouver. 5 stars without a doubt.

Learn to answer your phone so I don't have to go over there to get an answer to a simple question. I can literally see you ignoring it in an empty restaurant.
31 July 2022 17:54
Very nice and friendly people, you feel welcomed once you step in Zamzam. The food is good, clean and fresh.
31 July 2022 9:13
Didn’t expect it to be this good!
It’s my first time here!
I ll definitely come back
Delicious.
Thank you

Check out this place for an authentic Middle Eastern Experience! It was a treat to our taste buds

We ordered:

1. Chicken Shawarma Plate: 4.8/5

2. Chicken Shawarma: 4.3/5

The chicken was perfectly cooked! I totally loved the Shawarma Plate which was loaded chicken and flavourful rice! It was out of the world. The portions were huge and satisfying.

Can't wait to visit them again to try their #tabbouleh and #zamazingbox!
17 July 2022 21:44
There’s just not much to say. Cozy spot with amazing food and service. Portions are massive. Good chicken is sold here, come by and have a bite!

We waited longer than usual just because the frying machine was broken and the person in charge gave us the meal with DRINKS for free as a compensation. What a lad.
14 July 2022 5:02
I came because his rate was High, we ordered chicken wrap and zamzming, but I surprised the chicken test lol likes old, also I saw them they put all what they have for meet in the fridge for next day, be careful!
11 July 2022 22:08
Rude customer service, I asked to add fries to the chicken wrap and will pay for that and they said no we can't do it. You shouldn't call your self middle Easter restaurant if you don't know what are the authentic chicken wrap topping
11 July 2022 13:26
Wow! The Lamb Shawarma Plate was AMAZING! Real slow cooked lamb on a bed of seasoned rice that you can tell was made with love. This is a hidden gem I can't believe I am just finding out about now. I will be back again very soon
09 July 2022 19:13
Cheaper then the shawarma place I normally go. First time trying to due to rating but it feels like anyone reviewing a restaurant only looks at price and quantity. Cheapish food with lots of rice FTW.

Chicken and beef plates as take out orders. Maybe I got the leftover meats on a warm plate but they are dry and had a tiny bit of tahini sauce. At least cover it with sauce if you serve dry chicken and beef.
05 July 2022 2:30
The lamb is a must try, better flavour than any other donair/shawarma. The rice get special mention too, very delicious.

Don’t recommend ordering the wrap because the way they wrap is not good.

The platter could do with less rice and more meat.
02 July 2022 23:19
First time visiting here and felt very fulfilled. We had lamb plate. Owner was so kind and generosity
Definitelyrecommend
24 June 2022 16:26
The customer service was amazing at Zamzam Grill!
They had no problem with making changes to our order due to food allergies and were very patient too.
The food was packed and it was very flavourful!
Loved it, will come again!
20 June 2022 18:02
I’ve been going to this place over a year now and never been disappointed! Food is always tasty homemade hummus and friendly staff! Highly recommend
09 June 2022 6:52
Good portions, priced well, chicken was moist and juicy and not chewy like other places. Hummus was tasty and a nice touch on salad dressing. One thing to improve, slightly heat up the pita before you bag it.
01 June 2022 3:54
The food tastes amazing and everyone there is so incredibly hard working and focused on the customers.

I don't need an apology for the wait when your business is crazy busy and you're making a dozen wraps in front of me and more people coming in behind me.

This is my second time and I'll definitely be back for more.
17 May 2022 20:06
Garbage food the flafel is very old it look lile its been in thr fredge for over two years
Any way it was a bad experiance,

#bad Falafel
01 May 2022 17:21
This zamazing box is literally fire, so good. And the guys working we’re so friendly and fast. I’ll be coming back for sure. They make the falafels in house fro scratch too.
13 April 2022 17:15
Really amazing food with great customer. Everything tasted fresh and they were generous while adding the sauces. The food was worth every penny.
22 March 2022 16:32
The food prep area was clean, the gentlemen working behind the counter are very mindful of cleanliness and always make sure if the order needs to be vegan.
Love the fact that the falafels are made on making an order. They are very good.
A definite visit if you like Middle Eastern food.
10 December 2019 10:52
Absolutely love it! Delicious, fresh, affordable & great portion size. If they ask if you want garlic sauce, say YES! Didn't get a chance to try the Zamazing box, but def will next time.
03 November 2019 4:43
Amazing food and nice people that run it. Enjoyed myself there so much I brought the family in for lunch. Will be going back again and again.

I was craving some Middle Eastern food and luckily this new eatery was nearby my old neighbourhood. Four friends decided to come eat a late lunch with me. We were all welcomed by the owners. First we all ordered our choices, paid and then seated. The owners were very friendly and provided us with amazing service. The portion were just right, not too little and not too overly big. I ordered a Loaded Chicken Shawarma and it was super delicious. I pretty much devoured it. The samosa and felafel were fried very nicely. Amazing appetizers. There were 4 tables and couple countertop single seatings near the front window. Everything was clean and relaxing. I had a great Sunday lunch with my friends there. Totally will recommend my families and friends to try!
02 November 2019 2:23
Just amazing! One of the best shawarma in town! I chose the lamb shawarma and my wife took the chicken shawarma, both were delicious!
24 October 2019 13:55
Great food and exceptional service. Will be definitely coming back with family and friends. Best lamb shawerma in Vancouver and surrounding areas.
19 October 2019 22:52
Good wrap size, good taste, good customer service and friendly staff, good facility. Highly recommended.
16 October 2019 13:42
The food at Zamzam Grill is absolutely delicious, reasonably priced, and the staff are very friendly!

I would highly recommend this little shop to anyone looking for a wholesome quality meal or even a quick bite to eat.
14 October 2019 9:13
Finally a good shawerma place opened in the neighbourhood.
Nice restaurant and owners!
Tried the chicken, falafel and hummus and they were tasty and fresh.
Gotta check them out!
13 October 2019 1:21
I noticed this place today while heading in to work. Seems like they just opened. The manager and staff were all super nice. I had the falafel and chicken shawarma, its honestly the best I've had so far. The tahini sauce was soo good. Honestly the best shawarma shop around, I would totally recommend it!
11 October 2019 22:13
Very good food, tried the chicken platter 10/10 would come here again. Great service and very friendly.
10 October 2019 7:22
Clean and organized restaurant. Staff is very friendly and the food tastes great. The Falafel is so crispy and authentic, they make the falafel while you watch
07 October 2019 5:40
BEST FALAFEL/SHAWARMA IN TOWN! You get quality and quantity, honestly the best bang for your buck. Great food coupled with great service and atmosphere. Everything is freshly prepared to perfection. My favourite is the zamzaming box, it’s basically crispy fries loaded with chicken! If you’re a big group I would recommend getting the tabouleh, hummus and falafel sides to complement your meals.
07 October 2019 5:00
Family owned business, clean and amazing customer service.
Try the falafel, it is of a real taste like if you eat it in middle east. Value/price is very competitive, food portion/price is reasonable.
Definitely will come back again.
05 October 2019 13:12
Came here when I hade time to spare and an empty stomach.

Food was delicious and filling, also pretty inexpensive. The staff here is beyond nice, even when someone saunters in right as they open. Definitely coming back when in the area. A great spot for a bite along Kingsway.
03 October 2019 17:33
Amazing food. Rice has a nice spiced flavour that is different from most shawarma places. Service is good. Eating area is very clean and well-kept.
02 October 2019 21:41
Great food, clean place and family-owned business. I loved Tabouleh and Zamazing fries with generous portions of chicken Shawarma!
29 September 2019 10:32
Not just your run of the mill shawarma place and you'll see that when you walk in the door. They take extra care to make their food right and special and they will accommodate special requests.

The lamb is real lamb and you don't see that often. The falafels are donut shaped so they cook evenly, also something you don't see often.

I will definitely come back here anytime I'm in the area.
27 September 2019 5:30
HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I've been to many shawarma places and this is by far the best place I've been to. Food was delicious and very high quality. Service was A+ and the staff were incredibly nice.

This is definitely my go-to place now.
25 September 2019 4:50
Beautiful restaurant with ridiculously tasty middle eastern food, the owners are friendly and very attentive. I tried the chicken wrap and sampled the lamb - it was Zam-azing! Definitely will be back
18 September 2019 2:01
I've had my share of Middle Eastern shawarma plates whilst working in the West End and Downtown Vancity. The flavours are familiar and I'm sad to say, most have gotten very pedestrian. I'm very happy to say that Zamzam Grill is not one of these places. I ordered the Chicken Plate ($11.99) and it was the best shawarma plate I've had in quite some time. The chicken was tender and a good mix of dark and white meat. The rice was so fluffy and the hummus was silky smooth. Combine this with a very friendly owner and a clean room and you have a winner! This is Ibrahim's (sp?) first restaurant and I wish him the best. Will return to try the homemade falafel. I love to support local independant businesses and Zamzam is off to a great start. Do drop by and give them a try!
17 September 2019 7:37
This is fairly a new restaurant in Vancouver and thought to give it a try as recommended by friends. I orderd a chicken shawerma platter along with their crispy falafel.

Everything in my platter was deliciously yummy and freshly made (i.e. Rice, hummus, tabouli salad, tahini, greens, and garlic sauce). Make sure to dip every bite of your falafel in that magical tahini sauce. And of course don't forget to try their fluffy garlic sauce with your chicken shawerma, it's so yummy!

The owners are extremely friendly and offer outstanding service. However, my food took a bit longer than expected to get ready - which is totally fine with me as long as it is cooked and presented perfectly. I will be back very soon!
15 September 2019 18:48
I was recommended by a friend to try this middle eastern restaurant! This place by far is among the top middle easterner restaurants in Vancouver! First of all, the Falafal is outstanding. It tastes exactly like the authentic ones we have back home. Second of all, the chicken shawerma plate is delicious and the taboleh salad and humus are amazing!
Highly recommend the restaurant!
14 September 2019 12:50
Amazing experience. You must try it out to believe how tasty their shawarma’s are. They remind me of the ones I’ve had back in Dubai. Keep up the amazing food and service.
14 September 2019 5:07
Finally! A place worth reviewing
Excellent service, amazing staff and as clean as you it can get! The taste is exactly what I was looking for, all in all 10/10
12 September 2019 22:08
It’s a five star place to enjoy Mediterranean grill, amazing owners and a family environment. Great food. Great people and good friends. I recommend their falafel!
12 September 2019 8:45
Definitely give the falafel plate a try! Best tabouleh I’ve had in awhile, generous portions and amazing service. Would definitely come back.
11 September 2019 3:00
Hands down THE BEST Shawerma place in town! Wraps are SO juicy and the service is TOP NOTCH. 100% recommend it to ANYONE in the Vancouver Kingsway Area and if you’re far from here then it’s worth the drive.
05 September 2019 20:25
Okay, listen up you want food that tastes like back home just hit up this place when you are around. Enough said!
04 September 2019 17:07
Just came from Toronto and had a hard time finding a shawarma place up the standerds I am used too until I ate here. Very tasty shawerma, friendly staff, very clean place and easy to reach.
28 August 2019 19:52
This is what authentic tastes like. Great food and warm, friendly service from the brother and sister team that run the place. Highly recommended for lunch or dinner.
26 August 2019 14:08
Long story short best donair restaurant in Vancouver.
The manger is super friendly and kind. Moreover, the restaurant is super clean, food is tasty I would strongly recommend everyone to try it with no hesitation.
26 August 2019 12:02
Been waiting for so long! So excited to have them in the area. Inside is brand new and clean everyone was happy and so polite. Had the chicken wrap, very delicious and a good price. Found our new regular stop!
25 August 2019 9:35
Tried the chicken shawerma platter. It was delicious. Opening hours are very convenient. Also the owner is super friendly and open to hear what you think about the food since it is just opening. I will definitely come back with family and friends.
