I know the page says it's closed, but I just went here for the first time and wow it was delicious! It's located in a very unassuming strip of stores, next to a market. We ate pretty early around 5pm, and it was very empty, which was nice because it meant our food came fast. We tried the chicken shawarma bowl and the beef shawarma bowls. The food tasted delicious, but did seem a little less fresh, like maybe it had been sitting for a while, which would make sense because it wasn't exactly prime dinner hour yet, so maybe perhaps left from lunch? Either way, the portions were great, enough to take home leftovers. And the flavor of the meat was superb. They were so warm and kind to our family, especially our two year old. I appreciated the thoughtful touches the staff added to make our dining experience special. It definitely gave the cozy feeling of a mom and pop diner but mediterranean style! I loved it. We will definitely be coming back. read more

I hate writing this because this used to be one of my favorite places. I've been coming here for a while, and today honestly felt like losing a local gem. I came in for the soft opening after weeks of renovations, and while the name and menu are the same, everything else is not. This is not the same restaurant. If you knew the original owner, you would know he created something special. It felt like you were being welcomed into his home. He took pride in the food and in making sure every customer felt well cared for. Appetizers always came out first with some friendly conversation, and you could feel the care he put into every detail. That experience is gone. First, I waited 30+ minutes for a dish that normally takes 15, even on a busy night. When I left, a couple who had ordered before me were still waiting for their wraps! Second, the food has changed. The chicken shawarma and gyro recipes are different, and the gyro was actually cold. The sauces, which used to be the highlight, are not the same. The red sauce is gone, and the garlic sauce tastes different. The rice is different. The salad is now a small pile of romaine, onion, cucumber, black olives, and corn with no dressing. Overall, the new recipes feel like a massive downgrade from the original recipes. Lastly, I told the host I would be dining inside, but my food was served in plastic containers. Meanwhile, a nearby group that appeared to be staff or family was served plated food that looked noticeably fresher and better prepared. It honestly felt like their food was prioritized over paying customers, which may have explained the delays. The menu photos have not changed, but they no longer reflect what is actually being served. That feels misleading, especially for customers like me who were excited for the reopening. Very disappointing. read more

I was seeking a great Mediterranean option in Coppell and Zaky Zayn did not disappoint! This location is less than a year old and it's already a standout. The Chicken Shawarma Bowl was top-notch; the chicken was perfectly cooked and the rice had a distinct, delicious flavor that paired so well with the spiced salad. The Chicken Kabob was another big hit for us. We also loved the fresh pita bread and the flavorful sauces on the side. Beyond the food, the owner and staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, which made the experience even better. Definitely recommend! read more

The food was very good and fresh. I would come here again. The atmosphere is casual and very welcoming. Order at the counter, pay at the end, and no tipping. The gyro meat was different than I have had before smaller and thinner but still tasty. Chicken kabob meat was a little dry. The only down side was when we ordered and my husband stated he had a tomato allergy they did not make us aware if any appetizers we ordered were tomato free. The appetizers that could have easily been accommodated to our needs were not. My husband's meal was served perfectly. We will be more clear in the future. Aside from the allergy issue the food was very good and the service felt like family. read more

Stopped in for dinner and left a friend of the owner. He was great and we chatted for my whole meal. Another Dallas spot that's hidden in the corner of a strip mall. The atmosphere is nothing to write home about and it's connected to a market. I went with the baba ganoush and chicken shawarma bowl. The portions were large and fair for the price paid. They gladly offered to bring out more pita bread for my baba ganoush appetizer which was appreciated. I wish they had soda in the cool instead of just waters and something else I didn't recognize. Overall, I would definitely come back. The friendly service and quality food were just what I was looking for. read more

Cool spot attached to a market. The food was flavorful and the staff was very friendly. Hummus with meat was excellent, but maybe another spoon more for portion would've been perfect. Chicken was great in flavor but the shawarma itself also was a little skinny compared to others, but still flavorful especially with the white and chili sauce. Everything was priced right and service was excellent. Can also check out the market next door as they have a great selection of imported items. Highly recommend for your Mediterranean fix! read more

Started eating here a year ago and the food and owner were great! Best Mediterranean food I've ever had, fresh and extremely tasteful. But, it was recently sold and unfortunately it now sucks! Chicken under cooked and has WAY to much cinnamon poured all over it. Salad is dry and tasteless and the sauces are terrible.... I hate to find a gem of a restaurant only to be ruined by new ownership trying to make a quick buck by ruining what was delicious food...can anyone recommend a decent Mediterranean restaurant near here?? read more

I love a good Mediterranean lunch. All the deliciousness with less of the guilt. This place is attached to a Mediterranean grocer under the shadow of the DART tracks, a bit of an offbeat location that I hope finds its audience. We ordered a kofta platter to share, with hummus and salad. It comes with warm bread, possibly made in house, along with a garlic sauce and a hot sauce. The kofta was super tender and flavorful, and I would absolutely order it again, although I am tempted to try the gyro next time. The bread was amazing. The service was great and they made sure we were happy, even offering us more bread. Yum. The platter was about seventeen dollars and perfect to split for two. I will definitely be back. read more

The vibes were very chill. The food tasted so so good - the sauces were divine! The guy working was so kind and sweet and even offered to bring more bread for my toddler. The serve was amazing. Will be back!! read more

In between a 3 and 4. Will go with 4 bc we will be back again. The gyro is good- my kids loved it bc it was cut into thin strips. I didn't love my gyro wrap bc it wasn't that much gyro in it but I very much appreciated the actual wrap bc it was toasted. The hummus was delicious- loved the chicken Swarma on top Lamb kabob and fries were pretty good. Pass on the zaky cauliflower. Jsut okay. read more

Delicious fresh-made food at reasonable prices. Owner is friendly and accommodating. Tucked away in a small shopping center, the restaurant connects to an interesting little grocery store. read more

A modest Mediterranean restaurant thats attached to the Zayn market. I was meeting a friend in this area and this was open on a Monday night. This is surprisingly isnt the only Mediterranean place in Coppell, so good for the neighborhood to get some more diversity and culture. I ordered the lamb shish kabob with hummus and baba ghanoush as my side, as well as a salad. The lamb was slightly overcooked, as half the bites I took were not juicy and required some teeth mashing. The other half of the lamb meat was decent in its seasoning and taste. The pita bread they offer is the typical pita bread you get from a grocery store. I wish it was heated up. The hummus and baba ghanoush were both good, although I wished the baba ghanoush was more smoked. The salad was standard, but it did feel refreshing. Atmosphere wise its quite sterile with little decoration, design, and bright fluorescent lighting. It also doesnt help that they have giant windows with no shade. I also took offense to the fact that the cashier who was handling money before my order wasnt switching out her gloves before preparing my food. I had to stop her and address this issue in order to have basic sanitation followed. While I dont dismiss this place, I wasnt impressed. Compared to some of the other Mediterranean places closer to my house that have opened, this place feels quite inferior. I hope they do better with what they serve and how they serve it in the future. read more

I never leave reviews, but I was impressed enough with the attentive, warm service, lively and inviting atmosphere, delicious food, and well-portioned (and priced) meal that I felt compelled to leave a note of support. Ordered the chicken shawarma bowl and it was hearty, filling, and perfectly seasoned. It came with a salad, freshly baked pita, and clearly very fresh toum + red sauce. 10/10, no notes. Will be returning, and I live 25 minutes away as a busy med student. read more

Zaky Zayn - Chicken Shawarma Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Coppell, Texas

I am in love with all things about this restaurant. Came in by myself for to-go and met owner Primo. He's very conversational and knowledgeable. While I waited he gave me a complimentary small order of Zaky Fries and a mini kibbeh. Both were delicious and I'll order again. My to-go food was just over $20 and fed 2 of us. We enjoyed everything and will definitely be back. My favorites were the gyro on a non-traditional bread, hummus and white garlic sauce. I'm going to tell everyone to visit so we don't lose another good local restaurant. read more

The owner is also the chef and serves the food. He has pride in his food and really should because it's great! Fresh ingredients, great flavors, the sauces were excellent. The gyro wrap was really interesting, a little cinnamony with a delicious thin wrap from a local bakery and not a ridiculously large thing like gyros often tend to be. Not what I'm used to but absolutely loved it and recommend it. His baba ghanouj is smoky and flavorful. The hummus was great. The olive oil drizzle has a great flavor. His wife makes the baclava and it is outrageously tasty. He serves it warmed up as a plus. Service was quick. Attached grocery store that he also owns. We have found our post-airport dinner place! read more

Authentic Mediterranean, Halal food. You can tell they make it in store due to the homemade spices they use. Tastes like mom's cooking! I think I met the owner. Unsure, I didn't ask. But he was nice and was willing to help us out if we had any questions. The pita was so delicious. I think it was complementary, but I am unsure about that too since I ordered hummus. Anyways, I ate that up. It came out hot. It came with two dips. One garlicy white sauce and a tangy orange sauce. The pita tasted amazing when I combined the two sauces. I tried the chicken bowl as well, but it wasn't really my kind of seasoning. The chicken was well-made though. It was my first time trying such a cuisine, and I guess it's not for me. However, I appreciate the food culture and care made into it so 5 stars! read more

Great food - Tried the chicken shawarma plate. It was delicious. Great service as well!

Small quaint place for family owned restaurant! Friendly staff which is always a plus! Got the zaky fries which tasted so good, would probably recommend eating all the food there since the food may get soggy. Also got the combo plate and added the lamb kafta which I thought was so flavorful and moist. The chicken kebabs were also very tender and moist. My favorite were the fries and the lamb kafta. read more

We got a warm welcome as soon as we entered. It was our first time trying out this restaurant. The place was clean, service was outstanding, and the food was the best Mediterranean we've ever had! We'll definitely be coming back! The Kibbeh and Zaky fries were our favorite! read more

The place was simple yet the food was great. Aerobic music playing to set the mood. The owner took my order and gave recommendations. Try the baba Ghanouj (looked like hummus). The food is made to order (takes a little time). There is a grocery store with Mediterranean products. Chicken kibbeh, rice, and salad was reasonably priced ($15). If you want a very healthy choice this is definitely it! read more

Wow this place exceeded my expectations. I ordered hummus, thinking it would be a small, 2 ouncer.. Naur. It was the whole chickpea plant and the some! The gyro was also pretty good. I ended up with a bowl just to make it easier to eat and because it comes with a side of extra pita and Zaky salad which is a stepped up Greek salad IMO. Plus it carried home very well. Looks amazing and tastes as such! read more

I ordered to go 30minutes before they close and waited 10-15mins for my food. The cashier was friendly and the owner talked to me if it was okay to make the baklava his way with sprinkles of honey and cinnamon. The baklava is homemade and said his wife makes it in the morning. The chicken shwarma was delicious and the baklava was a great dessert!! Love the food!!!! The baklava was $5.99 and thought I would only get 1 small piece but to my surprise it came with 2 pieces and huge!! I had my chicken shwarma with garlic sauce and not the spicy but time will tey the spicy sauce. Come and try this place!! read more

We will absolutely be back often. read more

I love this place! I come here for lunch quite often when i forget to bring a lunch to work and it has become a regular spot for me in the area. The owner always recognizes me and is very nice. The food is amazing - I initially tried this place because I was looking for something Mediterranean/healthier than other spots nearby and it did not disappoint. The salad that comes with the chicken shawarma is so unique and flavorful and I love how tender the chicken is. Extra shoutout for the spicy Zaky sauce.. delicious, unique, Im obsessed with it and personally its not spicy heat wise but very flavorful so dont let that scare you away from trying it. I want everyone to try this place out so they know what they were missing! read more

I've always loved Mediterranean food, but my knowledge is pretty much Gyros. I ventured in Zaky Zayn after seeing a review on Neighbors. I have been back to see Primo (proprietor) 5 times now.
