Today was cold and I really wanted something warm and soothing. I asked what kind of soup they had and was told it's lentil soup. I ordered the bowl which came with fresh bread. I was a little leary at first bc it's so thick- not soupy at all but that first bite was magical. Creamy, flavorful, and comforting soup! You really just can't go wrong with anything here. read more

ZamZamz Mediterranean Grill - Lentil Soup - Mediterranean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Great food that should keep you coming back for more. Good to see that they have refreshed their menu and now are offering some additional items, such as the Kefta Burger (for kids), bowls and other nontraditional items. Fountain drink dispenser seems to be permanently Out Of Service with the other alternative being a $2.43 can of soda, ouch. Prices are in high side, but you do get what you pay for. The tipping point for me was when I was up charged for additional Tzatziki sauce on a $12 pita gyro. It's good, but I don't know if it is "that good." Going to have to rethink my continuing patronage. read more

The food was good overall. It did however have that "house" taste, like they may not be cleaning and sanitizing as much. The place had that sticky look to it. I dared not go to the restroom even though I could have went. Everything just looked so used and un-wiped down. The walls were dusty. More than likely I won't return unless I hear that they've taken the time to better clean the place. 6/10 for me because of presentation if you don't care about that kind of stuff then 8.5/10 on the food alone. read more

Excellent service , reasonable pricing . Oh, and the food is delicious! Download their mobile app for the best experience.

We were in the area today and decided to try something new and so glad we did. We don't have very many Greek/Mediterranean options where we live so we were excited to try it. The menu was a bit overwhelming if you aren't used to ordering like that but in a good way. My husband and I just picked the bowls with rice, the chicken and each picked our 6 sides and sauce. The young man at the register taking our order was very helpful with recommendations. The food only took a couple minutes simply because it is made fresh as you order. The chicken was so tender and juicy, the sides were all fresh and the portion size was huge. I had been staring at the menu off and on as we ate trying to see what all they had so when I walked up to ask for a lid to take my leftover food to go the guy stopped me to give me a sample of the spicy chicken and shawarma and let me tell you it was AMAZING!! The shawarma was our favorite and will definitely be what we try next but you really can't go wrong with any of the meats. The restaurant was very clean which is appreciated nowadays for sure. They were even cleaning the tables as soon as someone left. We will definitely be back again soon. read more

$18 to eat off styrofoam is a little off putting to me, but at heart this is a takeout joint. Chicken shwarma was tasty, if perhaps a little dry. More than adequate portion sizes. The naan and hummus was really good.. The employee standing immediately outside the door chain smoking cigarettes was not at all appealing, but I guess thanks for sharing your second hand smoke with all of us. Maybe when you finish that seventh cigarette, you could put some paper towels in the restroom. read more

it is a very good eatery for Mediterranean and Middle Eastern ttype foods. I got the Kifta and wife got the gyro both of which are served in pit's bread. You can order them in plates or platters also. See the menu pictures. The meat was very flavorful and the pita bread good. Also got some hummus and it was very good and was generous in portion and came with pita chips. At another visit I had the falafel and found it to be very good. Service was good. You order at the counter and then find a table to dine in. The place is pretty clean. They also seem to have an open spit for roasting the meat and they carve some of the meat for platter dishes from that. The fountain drinks are self serve. read more

I was staying nearby and wanted something quick and healthy for lunch. This place was great! I got a falafel plate with two sides and the falafel was perfect. It's a more casual place and seemed popular with to go orders. I definitely would come back if I'm ever in the area again. read more

A friend and I had lunch there this past Wednesday. Food was good! Service was good! The facility was clean. Donna T read more

I got lucky and stopped into this location well after the lunch rush. I was immediately served and my food was made. I ordered the spicy chicken plate with salad and tabouli. The food was fresh and the food had great flavor. My only concern is the cost didn't match the portion size. I paid $15 for my meal. This is a fast casual spot so plenty of seating. This is not a great spot for large parties maybe a family size of 4-5 people. read more

ZamZamz Mediterranean Grill - Spicy Chicken Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

We love this place! The food is always so fresh and delicious - they are consistent every time we go! Mohamed and team move with a sense of urgency and the food is prepared right in front of you. Everything I've eaten has been delicious - no exceptions. Everything is prepared in house - even the fries! (One of my kids ordered them and I tried one - doughy on the inside, lightly crispy on the outside, and seasoned lightly with salt. Can you tell I love fries? ) Anyway, if you're on a vegetarian diet or even on carnivore, this place is also great for that. You can order skewers of beef, lamb or chicken a la cart. If you haven't already, you gotta try Zam Zamz. You won't be disappointed! read more

When I walked in the atmosphere was amazing it was all women and plenty of them were eating alone while watching a show on their laptops!! The environment was super clean and put together. The food was incredibly fresh even the vegetables in the chopped salad, my food came out in less than 10 minutes, the guy who took my order was super nice and patient and even recommended me some things since it was my first time! Will DEFINITELY be coming back! P.s the one down side is the prices but i definitely think the food quality and quantity is worth it read more

ZamZamz is currently the reigning champ in the Middle East category of our Memphis Best Restaurants list (yeah that's a real thing)... We ordered delivery from here for lunch not even expecting that much as we were super busy with house stuff. But this place made us stop and pay attention. Just excellent... Great falafel, excellent gyros, great grilled meats, rice, etc... It was ALL good. Not to be missed... read more

This is without a doubt the best Mediterranean food in the Midsouth. The humus is always so fresh, creamy...it is simply amazing. I think I've have tried almost every Mediterranean restaurant in the entire Memphis area, and I make a habit of tasting their humus. None compare to ZamZamz's. In fact, the only restaurant whose humus came close to comparing to ZamZamz's was an authentic Greek restaurant in Longwood, FL. Note that Greek humus is a different style than Mediterranean humus. Perhaps that is why one reviewer said the humas was "pretty plain." The humas and pita bread is fresh-made everyday! Oh! The falafel is wonderful also. While my favorite entree is the gyro pita sandwich. My wife gets the Mediterranean salad with chicken. She raves about how the salad is always fresh and crisp. The portions are generous, making it well worth the money. The service is great! Mo, the owner, is a friendly family man. He entertains my silly questions with a smile. This restaurant is definitely at the top of our list. read more

Good food and conversation. More people need to try this place, esp their version of guac... avocado with tahini!

I was recommended to try zamzamz out; The food here is delicious, it's a chill casual place with a visible kitchen area, and the staff were very friendly and happy to help read more

Always . Great food. Great service. Clean and comfortable atmosphere. Try the delicious halal meats (I love the gyro and shawarma, my friend loves the lamb, the kebabs are all great tbh) or try the vegetarian options. My wife loves their hummus and falafel, my kid loves their fresh homemade fries, and I have to get the fresh and spicy chopped salad every time. Can't recommend Zamzamz highly enough. If you like Mediterranean food and have functioning taste buds, you can't go wrong with any of the classics they serve here. read more

We chose to eat lunch here on a Saturday after seeing all the positive reviews. My first comment is the inside is smaller than I though. The ambiance is quick service and fryer grease. It is clean inside but don't wear your good Sunday clothes in there. The service is absolutely great! They were friendly taking our order and the guy who took our order brought me out a free ground lamb/beef since I ordered the lamb kabob and he said they dropped a piece of lamb and wanted to make it right. The flavor profile is different than other Mediterranean I've had but it was good. I had the build your own platter and it was worth every dollar. read more

The food is cost effective and delicious. The service is on another level. I can't come as much as I want because my wife cooks but I recommend that you try this restaurant. You will not regret it!!! Zamzamz is it read more

We are fortunate to have a good many Meditteranean eateries in the Memphis- north Mississippi area. ZamZamz is on my short list of favorites. The restaurant is always clean, the staff is pleasant, and everything I have eaten has been great. Be sure to check in so you qualify for future discounts! read more

I went during lunch with some coworkers around 11:30 and there were just a couple of people inside. After ordering at the kiosk we got our food in a timely manner. I ordered the gyro pita, and a side of hummus with pita. The gyro was great, very flavorful and filling. But, the hummus, for me, was pretty plain. I would've liked a bit more flavor or garlic inside. So if I went again I probably would try the Falafel next time in place of the hummus. read more

We were going to Costco anyway, and looking for a quick bite to eat. Our family of four loves Mediterranean food, but they're just isn't anywhere we live in North Mississippi. Stumbled on this restaurant, which was bright and clean and spacious in a strip mall. People were friendly, the cooks there obviously took their jobs very seriously. Everything seemed made from scratch. The falafel was perfect and plentiful on a bed of rice. I chose two sides, tabouli, and baba ghanoush and it came with pita. Rarely can you get an entire meal for $10-$12. Everything was fresh and cooked perfection.kids were delighted with their chicken Shawarma! read more

Good quick Mediterranean food. Liked the platters, good enough portions and nice for take and go. I would probably go to MS for pita if I'm on the hunt for real good middle eastern food but this was quite alright. read more

Best hummus I've ever had. Get a large to go with soft and hard pita. Your family will thank you. For my meal I got the Chicken Shawarma plate and the chicken was seasoned to perfection. A wonderful meal and vibe. I will be back soon! read more

ZamZamz Mediterranean Grill - Chicken Shawarma Plate with the corn salad and hummus with hard pita. - Mediterranean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Food is good and proportions are very good for the money. This is a solid 3.75 stars for the food, its freshness (made each morning) but I can't rate much higher because of a few little issues. First, tiny napkins are a real annoyance. Second, the soft drink machine is consistently not working properly, syrup is out and / or, when the machine is functioning and syrup connected - the ratios of water, syrup and CO2 are so off the beverage is hard to drink. It seems the concentrations are intentional off so you get the color but very little flavor; a diabetic has few worries about sugar overload even with regular Mt Dew and Strawberry Fanta. (That statement has not been reviewed by the FDA or anyone who has run laboratory tests regarding the presence or quantity of sugar from ZZ's soda fountain) I frequent ZamZams when in the area because it's a safe and tasty place - but hydrate up before you go. read more

I had been here once before several years ago when I wasn't familiar with Mediterranean cuisine. However, since I've been back home from a recent vacation, it's all I think of. I will start with the positives that it was bright and clean and I was served fast. The shawarma was ok, I wish I had a bit more sauce and that it had a tad more flavor. I think that this location is pretty good overall. I will try other menu items in the future. read more

Flavorful fare! A welcome reprieve from the typical "fast food" options on our long drive.

We ordered takeout for eight people, and the order was ready on time. Packaged up neatly, and, when unpacked, all items were there, nothing missing. Generous portions of food, plenty of tahini and tzatziki sauce and pitas. Delicious! In the category of Mediterranean takeout, everything was great! read more

This is my parents favorite place for Mediterranean food and I can see why. It's really good. I would happily come back here. The tzatziki sauce was really good. My dad likes this place enough that he got a pound or so to go to take home and that was a great idea. I think I'll do that next time as well since I found myself sneaking bites of theirs every time I visited the house for the next few days.

ZamZamz Mediterranean Grill - Gyro Plate with Pita Chips - Mediterranean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Mediterranean restaurants isn't usually my first choice when I choose to go out to eat but my brother in law loves it so I decided to give it a try. The food is healthy and good. I don't feel terrible after eating the food here so that's a plus for me. They have great salads, hummus, kebabs, hand cut fries, and corn salad. The price ranges so some plates and platters can be fairly inexpensive at $8.99 and some can be a little pricey for $16.99. They come with rice and two sides so it can be a good deal depending on what you get. Overall, Zamzamz has definitely changed my mind on Mediterranean food. I will be back and recommend to my friends. read more

The food was amazing; the only complaint I have was that the soda machine was really grimy. The workers were mostly nice and the service was pretty fast. We had one vegetarian friendly meal and one not plus one drink and baklava for about $46 with a 15% tip. Overall, one of the best mediterranean places I've eaten at. read more

Authentic middle-eastern food and atmosphere down to the music! We tried the kabob platters, kefta and lamb for me, kefta and beef for her; the ground beef was soft and deliciously seasoned, the beef and lamb were equally good, although I preferred beef, seemed more tender. We had hummus, baba ghanouj and falafel for sides, all delicious, with hummus being my favorite. Pita was soft and warm, a great meal! read more

ZamZamz Mediterranean Grill - Chicken Shawarma Plate with hummus and Falafel! - Mediterranean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

We tried ZamZamz last night for dinner. Located in a strip mall next to a froyo place, we found the restaurant very clean and neatly organized. ZamZamz offers shawarma, gyros, hummus, and other Mediterranean and Middle Eastern favorites. We both had plates -- I had the chicken shawarma and my boyfriend had the gyro plate. Both consisted of our chosen meats on a bed of rice and two sides. We both went with hummus and fries. A large pita was given to us to dip in our hummus. The rice on both plates was really good -- super flavorful and soft. As weird as it may sound, that was probably the best part. The gyro meat (beef and lamb) was better than the chicken shawarma; it was moist and the serving was generous. The chicken shawarma was pretty dry but tasted okay otherwise, though I wish it had been served hotter. The fries were solid enough, though a couple were a little close to being undercooked. The hummus was too smooth and lemony for our preference, and the pita was sadly served cold. Overall, I would say the food was okay to decent/good. The service wasn't particularly friendly; instead of being welcomed in, they just announced they weren't serving gyros in pita because they'd run out (even though we still got a pita with our hummus, which was confusing). Then they just sort of pointed at our food when it was ready and they caught us looking at it on the counter, rather than calling our name or bringing the food to us. They weren't rude, just not particularly welcoming. Our experience was alright, but there are many more places in Memphis worth a try! read more
