The decor is super nice of this place and the ambiance is nice as it's decorated really nicely. It is also right next to qamaria so you can walk there. The service was fast as we got our food quickly. The food wasn't that good as my friends and I felt kinda sick afterwards. The hot isn't very spicy.
Great local smashburger & chicken sandwich shop! The chicken sandwich was so crispy and juicy, just thinking about it makes me want it again. The smashburger was also good, and with the side of coleslaw and sauce, they were perfect. Just one complaint I had was that I accidentally tried going when it was busy and the line was too long so I left. But this could be easily avoided if you order online, which is what I ended up doing :) If you end up doing pick up, I highly recommend getting the coleslaw and sauce on the side so you prevent your burgers from being soggy!
Zingster's is one of those burgers spots where it's so flavorful and delicious that makes you keep coming back! Love their smash burgers, chicken and fries! Flavorful and perfect amount of spice. Haven't tried their waffle fries because it's never available when I try to order it. But I would highly recommend the smash burger -- so good! Will return again, soon!
Zingster's opened recently where Rock n Salsa n Beer once was. New minimalist decor, 10ish tables, same large parking area. Came to experience the Fremont Restaurant Week deal. Quick, efficient service at counters Ordered pd, food came out in 5ish minutes. Offerings: Nashville chicken burgers, smash burgers, rice platters, fries, wraps, milkshakes. Slurps: Bischoff Milkshake (7.29) -disappointed Dubai Chocolate milkshake not available. -Bishoff was way too sweet. Smash cookie not an issue. Bites: smash burger & Chicken burgers (14.99) medium hot sauce. -thin smash burger was the usual with crispy edges. Innards slightly moist, dryish re: tiny patty. -chicken burger was legit. Moist, tender chicken patty. Sauce didn't resonate hotness till later discharges prove discomforting . -breads weren't disappointing. 4ish stars. Worthy: YMMV quality: fresh ingredients used. Quantiy: reasonable.
If you're looking for a Halal place, this is a good option. They have chicken and beef burgers, wraps, bowls, and sides. The chicken burgers come with 5 levels of hotness or no spice at all. I got the mild (level 1) and it was very tame with a bit of heat. My hubby got the hot (level 3), and it was pretty intense, but tolerable (for him). Smash burger - this was ok, but their slaw was too wet and the bun got flat and soggy. The beef tasted quite good, but the bun was tasteless. Zingster chicken burger (zing-1) - this was really big. The chicken was very crispy outside and the meat was juicy. The slaw was very good with the burger, and the sesame seed bun was big enough to contain everything. Although the chicken was crispy, I thought there was just too much batter. That's what made the chicken look so big, but a large part of it is the batter. Fries - very good. Crispy and well seasoned. We got 2 sauces (red and white). The white sauce tastes really good with the fries. Overall, a good burger spot that's a step up from your typical fast food places.
Great Halal burger place in Fremont. They've been open since 2025 and are relatively new. Worth checking out since their menu interestingly has burgers, fried chicken, and rice platters. Location is in a small strip mall with McDonald's really close to the 880 Cushing exit. Plenty of parking though the spaces are slightly smaller than normal. The interior design is cool and feels like "classy" fast food. More upscale than other halal burger places and had a nice layout. Ordering was quick and easy and staff were welcoming and polite. Single smashburger: well grill smash burger with plenty of crunchy meaty bits. I liked the really soft bun this came on, reminded me of McDonald's buns in a good way. I normally dot like coleslaw that is too saucy but it was very good in this burger. Would repeat, delicious. Chicken fingers: got these "hot" and they were rightfully spicy. The meat was very tender and the crunchy fried parts were good, I'm not sure how to remedy this but I wish the fried parts stuck to the meat a bit better. The dipping sauce this came with was excellent.
Another Nashville Chicken restaurant is in Fremont! Not only that they served chicken burgers and sliders, but also smashed burgers too. The restaurant was quiet when I got in and there were only a few customers. They also have a prayer room where people can pray there. Also, the place looks really nice and it seems that the staff are taking good care of it especially when I saw one of them clean the tables. The menu representation looks nice and clear. They have a combo burger which comes with a chicken slider and a single-patty smashed burger. I decided to get that to try both at the same time. It's $18.99, which isn't really bad and the same price as Zing 2, which is the same except that it's two chicken sliders. The fries are well seasoned and very tasty. The two sauces that come with a meal are very delicious that they blend well with the fries and the chicken slider. The chicken slider tastes good and I'm surprised that they added coleslaw to the smashed burger. That's basically a way to make up a smashed patty since it's recommended that you get a double patty to have a good bun-to-meat ratio. I also like how they packaged everything inside a box probably for convenience. I'm looking forward to Zing 1, which is I believe a chicken burger rather than a slider given its unique appearance and probably bigger size.
Ugh $22 for some mid ass chicken sandwich with a lemonade. I saw the place on social media so decided to give them a chance. The food took 20+ mins to be ready. The chicken was too sweet and too much sauce on it. Gurl just pack ur bags and go to chicken g it's way better and cheaper.
Wow the service here is impeccable. Nice staff, very comfortable seats, and super sexy burgers!!! Would come here again
I am always happy to see Zingster's in Palo Alto with great service and fries and sauce. always happy to see Shah @ Palo Alto friendly neighborhood location. thank you for the great food
Seemed like people come here even though it was pretty late at night. When I brought the food home, the chicken was still very crispy and the fries too. The rub that they use pairs well with the fries and is pretty spicy. They also provide 2 sauces, one garlic and one that I don't know what it is but it's used everywhere. The chicken is juicy and not tough. The chicken is also halal which is cool.
Checked out this casual restaurant since it was nearby while studying, and honestly I'm glad I did! Service was quick and there was a crowd, but enough space to accommodate everyone there. Their main thing is fried chicken - tenders, sandwhiches and rice platters - and everything is halal. I ordered the chicken tender meal with a hot spicy level and it was delicious. The chicken and fries were hot and fresh when I picked up my order and they came with 2 different sauces. I wasn't sure exactly what the dipping sauces were, but one tasted garlicy/almost cheesy? The other was a mild flavor, but I'm not sure what it tasted like to be honest. Spice level was a slow burn, but went well with their seasoning. For the price I paid, the meal was worth it, especially since I had leftovers. I think the only thing is, I wish they had more sauce options. Other than that, great place for a cheat meal LOL.
The first time I visited this place, it was closed though it was well within their official business hours advertised online. The next time I decided to give this place a try, I ordered a chicken zinger sandwich and a side of regular fries for takeout lunch. The place was clean but pretty deserted on a weekday around 2pm. This made parking a breeze, but I must say that's not always the case because this place shares the same plaza and limited parking space with a widely popular Indian restaurant, a beloved Yemeni coffee shop, and many other businesses. I found the service to be lacking - no smile, warmth or greeting for their only customer at the time other than a curt "are you ready to order?" and again, no communication or small talk as I waited for my order to get prepared. The food was definitely much better than the service. I live close-by and still the food was a little soggy by the time I got home. I wish they used the tactic I see a lot of Asian restaurants use to keep fried food crunchy by introducing a small outlet for steam. The chicken was definitely fresh, tasty, and expertly breaded and fried. I went with "hot" for my spice level and there was definitely a kick, but nothing too spicy (I do have a good tolerance for spice). However, having lived in Nashville for close to a decade, I have to say the spice rub used here isn't the real deal though they advertise their products as Nashville style. Also, I was surprised that they hadn't included any ketchup or hot sauce with my side of fries - do remember to ask for them if you're planning to eat on the go and can't imagine fries without ketchup like me. A little better service could easily turn this place into a better dining experience.

Best service ever! Arash amiri is the greatest cashier i have ever encountered in my life. He went above and beyond with his service, and he even sat down and started eating lunch with me. I will forever remember this experience and will tell my future generations that arash amiri is the cashier to look for. What a model service worker. read more
Best chicken sando AND best fries, hands-down. And do I normally care for fries - no. Fries were cripsy and coated differently than any other place and I'm not talking about the seasoning but the component that gives it's crispy crunch factor. *Chef's kiss. Ordered the Zing 1 (Meal), upgraded to a refreshing Mango Lemonaid. I got 'hot' three notches down from the spiciest option. Would say if you like spicy, go for the medium maybe for a first time and go decide on the next trip after if you'd like to stay there or go up a notch. Would defintely come back along with my man next time; he would defintely like this. read more
My friend and I shared the combo meal, which came with a chicken sandwich, burger, fries, and a drink. It worked out perfectly for the two of us since I wanted chicken and my friend preferred a burger. The burger was really good, and the chicken was juicy, meaty, and nicely crunchy. I got the mild chicken, which had no real kick, but I was happy with that choice. The creamy coleslaw dipping sauce was good and refreshing. Our other friend ordered the chicken sandwich with medium and thought it was too spicy, so I'm glad I stuck with mild. Overall, a solid spot, and the combo is especially nice for sharing when you can't decide between chicken and a burger! read more

Saw them on TikTok. Excellent review. So kids and I came here. My kids loved loved it. The double smash burger they got was very fresh and meat was really good. Extremely friendly staff, very polite and nice. The place is squeaky clean and cool. They immediately cleaned the tables when people left. I accidentally took soda water and when I asked them to pay, they were like no you are good. Just a friendly behavior was the cherry on the top. This is a Bay Area gem and highly encourage others to come. Last but not least- it is HALAL. Keep the awesome job up! read more

Stopped by around 3pm on a Saturday for takeout and super busy both inside and outside. The loaded fries weren't really my thing, but the sandwich was tasty and saucy, and the chicken was nice and tender. I preferred the zing sauce over the white sauce. read more

The food is great, if eaten warm the smash burger with sauce is delicious. But, what keeps me coming back above all is the amazing staff. Truly life changing service. Goated cashier read more

Food was great, service was great, and there was plenty of seating. I ordered the mix rice plate which came with chicken, the smash burger patty, and rice. Unfortunately for me, it was overly sauced. My food was swimming in the sauce, and I couldn't even see what was under it. I didn't expect that much to be topped on it since the picture showed it would be a drizzle. Other than that, the flavor was great. I will be asking for the sauces on the side next time read more

Spotted this place on Yelp and I have been meaning to try out a new Spicy fried chicken spot. A nice clean spot and really fast service. Navid was patient and helpful getting my order. I Got the Hot Zing 1 and the chicken fries. The chicken was fried really well and had a nice crunchy texture, the spice level was perfect for me. It's a little hitter than say Daves so get your spice level accordingly. Overall one of the best hot fried chicken spots in the bay. read more

Terrific spot for some freshly prepared, deliciously & liberally spiced Halal fare. The chicken sandwich came out sizzling and it was big enough to perhaps even share. The smash burger and fries were both scrumptious as well and the place was pretty spacious and very clean - even the restroom! read more

About a few weeks ago, my brother wanted me to take him here for lunch. Unfortunately, plans changed and we ended up going somewhere else instead. Today, he was going to pick up some stuff for our parents at my house so I thought I'll buy him lunch from here. I showed up around 11:30am and I was the only customer at that time. I ordered two Zing 1 combos (medium spice). The food did take a while to be ready but I do appreciate that the food was made-to-order, instead of it being pre-cooked and sitting under a warmer. In terms of flavor, the fries and the sandwich were flavorful and the sandwich did come with a kick to it (slightly spicier than Dave's medium). Even though I didn't get to try the fried chicken until over an hour after I received the order, the exterior was still crunchy while the interior was still moist. The restaurant offers Pepsi drinks but I'm a Coke person so I ended up getting their sweet tea, which I don't recommend. The drink tasted weird. It had no tea flavor and it actually tasted artificial. If you're a small eater, this meal can feed two people. I ended up eating half and giving the rest to my hubby to finish. I docked one star because there's a charge for extra sauce and with the price they charge, I'm expecting a side of sauce with my meal. read more

Amazing service! We came from Chicago, and it was absolutely worth the trip. The staff was incredibly friendly, the food was outstanding, and every dish was full of amazing flavor. This is truly a hidden gem. Best of all, it's Zabiha Halal, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Food was solid and very filling. Great halal choice that isn't as expensive as similar establishments. I got a double smashburger with waffle fries and a zinger 1 (normal zinger sandwich) thinking I'd kill em both. I was able to only consume my burger and fries while barely eating 1/4 of the huge zinger burger. Shows how filling the food is, and it's 100% zabihah halal. Ambiance is cozy and kinda bougie but be prepared for tight seating if lots of people come by. Service was relatively slow for the quantity of food we got, but everyone was friendly and recovering from a busy opening night. read more
