This is my Wife and I's go to when it comes to food in Ahwatukee, in fact when we sold our house and moved further back in the foothills we still come to Zk Grill!! Chicken shawarma with fries or even the salad is absolute fire, so good. Steak and chicken plate along with the warps are good as well. I've grown to become friendly with the family owners and can't recommend this place enough. I've never had a bad meal. read more

The food is consistently good. The service is friendly and take home or eat there is available. ZK is always a healthy, flavorful choice - great Tziki sauce!! read more

We have come here for a few years now, and let me tell you the quality In food has always been great! We always order Togo, but even when we eat there it's still great! My only advice is to order ahead! They stay busy! If you're a Karen, and are entitled to want things at your time this isn't for you. Recommend patience if u order by walking in. I don't personally see it as a bad thing ‍ read more

We enjoyed chicken lo mein and soup. The noodles were tender, the chicken seasoned just right and decent portion. The noodles would have been much better with a dash of sesame oil. Good service and friendly staff. read more

After a day of traveling I was craving some good chicken, this place a little hole in the wall was it, totally hit the spot, I think their meat dishes are amazing they really know how to marinade their food. So satisfied! read more

ZK Grill - Chicken entree meal - Mediterranean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

ZK Grill was a find for me. I started off next door at WhereUBean Coffee, thinking I was done and decided to stop in here for something to take back to the office for later. I'm very glad I did Whenever I see the word Halal, I know I'm in for a tasty, well prepared Middle Eastern/ Mediterranean treat. You see the word Halāl (Arabic: alāl) means "permissible". Sort of like "Circle K" for kosher. So you know some extra effort has been made in its preparation. Nice! ZK Grill's menu is extensive, see photo. Since I wasn't starving, with Mocha in hand, I ordered the #4 Gyro Wrap for $7.99, while skipping the Greek Salad that came with it. It was tasty, fresh, moist and very good. Enjoy! read more

I decided to try something new. I thought this place would of come close to Mediterranean food like in Detroit. The chicken shawarma salad was not anything I have ever tasted. I didn't know they used cinnamon on this chicken it had too much cinnamon and it was over powering for me. I though everything was homemade. The dressing was an Italian dressing like it came from a bottle it wasn't even a Greek dressing. I was disappointed. I probably won't go back. It was pricey, I think King Gyro is so much better and not as pricey. #stilllooking I hope to find a good chicken fattoush salad with homemade dressing. read more

This place gets a full 5 stars from Me, the staff is friendly, the portions are generous, the prices are just right and the food is delicious. One of the best gyros Ive ever had, my wife and kids also loved it. read more

Kind of found this place on accident one day and now I'm hooked. While they advertise this as "Mediterranean" cuisine, it has a Persian flair to it. I'm Armenian, so Persian food is kind of similar and holds a special place in my heart. I usually get the ground beef skewers with white rice and put some butter on it. The one thing they do that I really like is they toast the pita bread...nothing like a smoky char as you dip it into some hummus or yogurt. My wife loves the side of veggies as they are flavorful and mixed with bell peppers and onions. There are quite a few decent Middle Eastern restaurants in the East Valley, but this is quickly becoming my favorite. On a side note, the decor is outdated, but hey, you are here for the food. If you enjoy Middle Eastern food, this is some of the best I've found in the East Valley. read more

Great menu selection, service was outstanding and love their chicken shawarma and Greek salad. Take care of our local business during this time so they can take care of us with great food. read more

Excellent food and service. Gets a lot of patronage and once you you taste the food you see why.

After takeout from ZK Grill 15-20 times this review is in order. The food is remarkably good - I usually order the Chicken Schwarma Salad or the Chicken entree, both excellent. Here's a sum up: * Friendly staff who seem focused on customer service and who work fast. I've been impressed that they seem to have kept some of the same staff before, through, and after the pandemic - a sign that staff are treated well. * Great quality and tasty food * Good prices From the outside, the restaurant doesn't look like something special but this restaurant is a gem and we're lucky to have it in Ahwatukee. read more

Same owners as place I went to in 2016, but no where near the quality. I ordered the filet and chicken combo, and I can barely bite through it and it the beef tastes terrible. Usually its marinated, slow cooked, slightly greasy? Ugh. I ordered side of pita bread and tzaditki sauce but it was forgotten and not added; another 1.20 if I still want it. No thanks. Still spent 20 dollars with the 10% off, and ordered ice cream. The rice was very good! A bit disappointed with the meat. I can't bite it. :( She still gave me pita bread, the saffron ice cream is worth a try. She was very nice! read more

Found this little gem tucked away in a shopping center next to a coffee shop. Very pleasant surprise! Granted it doesn't look very classy BUT the food is absolutely perfect!!! The food is prepared fresh and everything looks great. Prices are very reasonable and the chicken and filet combo with rice and grilled tomato is absolutely the best. Coming back for more.... read more

Note for the chef... If a customer ask form you to PLEASE cook the falafel 2 seconds longer so it won't be runny inside that is no reason to get upset!! So here is a true review Falafel was too runny inside (not hard to fix fast food) Shawarma salad was too salty and the lemon juice on it is definitely from concentrate Cook was fighting with cashier when we asked for our food to be cooked more thoroughly for our 13 month old I truly wish u (chef) a happier cooking days read more

The food quality seems to have dropped a lot for the last two pickups I had. You have to ask for every little side spices, like somagh, butter, that is common with this type of food. Probably won't go there for a while. read more

Good food been a customer for awhile. Id recommend this if you want some good Persian cuisine.

One of my favorite places. I absolutely love their chicken wrap. Great food at a great price. The location is in a strip mall but don't let that for you. This is not a fancy joint, and the interior might leave some to be desired. But the customer service is great, the chicken is always delicious! I'm not a big fan of the roasted tomato they add to their dishes - but I ask them to not add it. read more

My husband and I were in the area for an appointment so when we finished, we decided to grab a bite somewhere close because we were super hungry. When I checked Yelp, ZK was very close and it had excellent reviews do we decided to try it. It was about 2:30pm when we showed up. The restaurant was empty. We placed our order at the cashier and picked a table. We ordered the combo dishes, the beef and lamb combo and the lamb and chicken combo. In about 10 min, the food was out. The dishes looked great and they were hot and fresh and the portion size was huge! Everything tastes very good. I say very good bcz I have tried other Persian places in the valley and I have my favorite and it remains my favorite because the seasoning in the other restaurant is just spot on! The food here was also pretty good but to me, it was lacking a little bit more seasoning. This said however, the portion is huge in comparison to the price so that's the advantage here. I may be visiting the restaurant again if I am in the area. Good food, good prices and service overall. Worth trying for sure. read more

I discovered this hidden gem a few years back and it has never slipped up in terms of food and service. Every time I order from ZK I get a consistent meal that is equal parts delicious and authentic. Employees are friendly which makes this restaurant a true staple in the area. Give it a try if you have not yet! read more

Pretty good spot when open and taking orders. Their meats/produce is always fresh and tasty, but it's hit or miss whether they'll take your order for delivery or pickup. On several occasions recently I have placed orders with Yelp which initially go through but then either get pushed to delivery for the next day or flat out canceled with no explanation. Same thing when you call for pickup. Lately it seems more often than not. Score would be significantly higher if they were reliable. read more

Come hungry! The portion size is enuff for two. The chicken and beef are very good. The Falafel is nice and crispy. I'll have to come back earlier in the day for lamb & filet. Ground Beef and Chicken Combo read more

The food is good if you're in to persian food. It's usually cooked correctly and it melts in your mouth( the meat) I have no complaints. I wish they had more sweets options read more

incredible euro platter, fries, always so hot and order some extra pitas because they are really so delicious you'll want more.

Glad I was introduced to this gem of a place! The food is very tasty! I had the shawarma wrap with fries. The chicken is seasoned so well and the fries were a good side. You can get salad as well. It's fast(ish) and reasonable...not to forget mentioning tasty! Def be back again! read more

We have been enjoying Zk's for a few years now. Recently, within the past 6 months the service and food has been hit or miss. At times portions are plentiful and other times portions are substantially diminished. Inflation and increased prices are understandably affecting everyone, but the portion variation is so vast that I was compelled to write this review. If you order late in the day, you get lesser portions. The last time I ordered over the phone, the employee repeated my order, verifying it. I go pick up the order and return home only to find one of the plates I ordered was not complete. I returned to the restaurant and was told they were out of the item that had been omitted. In other words, they ran out and failed to notify me. Customer service is shotty. read more

"I'm busy bro, what do you want me to do?". After waiting 15 minutes on hold, I let the guy know how long I'd been waiting and that's your response. Called back to try and speak with a manager after you hung up on me but you just let the phone ring. Childish and aggressive towards their customers. Great way to bring in business. Who knows if it was the owners or a manager that answered their phones that way? Plenty of other shawarma places to eat at read more

Much better than i expected. Had a wrap and it was delicious but spicier than I thought. Great food. Better than chilis

Amazing! Authentic! Always a great experience coming here. The service is phenomenal. read more

Great service and kind employees! Love their falafel although it's a little dry. Good flavors for a decent price. Not the most cleanly restaurant, employees eating with the same gloves they handle food with. But overall good. read more

I ordered #14 today which is a grilled chicken and salad. They put a disproportionate amount of salad with a little bit of chopped up chicken on top. I have had this dish at this location before and it comes with five large pieces of the grilled chicken and a proper size salad. This time they took something equal to two pieces of the chicken, chopped it up into bunch of small chunks and served it. I felt totally cheated and when I complained she says "Thats how they make it!". $15 for lattice and chicken crumples. Shameful really. Not sure what is happening here but this is not really acceptable to me. read more

The food at ZK Grill is consistently good, well prepared and the portions are generous. We're glad they are in the neighborhood.

Simply delicious and right on the spot. Long grain rice, tomato roasted, the meat is cooked to perfection. These guys really know what they are doing! I love going and am planning on going more often. The salads are also fantastic!! Support these guys they are awesome. We watched them handle 4 or 5 orders. read more

This place is the Best Home made Persian Food in Arizona. My favorite dish is the mix grill Chicken koobideh "Ground beef"combo with Rice and salad. Everything on the menu is so delicious. I would eat this everyday if this place opened up down the street from my house. It's a good 25 min drive to get some awesome Persian food from where I live but it's so worth it. The staff is very nice and the service is Fantastic. If your ever in the neighborhood show some support and Please stop by and Try this Restaurant . I would highly recommend it to all my Friends and Family. read more

Definitely a to go spot when in the mood for some Mediterranean. I love their chicken wrap with their crispy French fries or the chicken entree with half salad! read more

One of the best in metro Phoenix! Seriously, you need to go here. The portions are just enough that will surely leave you full for the next couple of hours. Also, whatever you do; don't try the soda yogurt. You've been warned! Do not! read more

Tasty $7.99 Lunch Wraps With Big Salad Good sized menu with pictures to choose your nourishment... The chicken shawarma wrap was good and it was packed with food. The Salad was pretty large and when I was done I was nicely filed and my hunger had abandoned me. The service was professional, no extra chatting, just business... When we left we were giving a polite have nice day... PS: I didn't know where to put the plates after I cleaned them off since there was a flower on top of the garbage can where trays and plates would normally go. So we left them on the table. read more

The food quality over all has been pretty good. This is the closest Persian restaurant near Chandler which is within 16mile radius of me so I'm very grateful to have found them. All other restaurants are 45miles away. This is definitely the place I come to when i'm craving Persian food. I do love their Koobideh. The kababs are always done right and delicious. The rice is always right on as well. The prices are very good. The value for your buck is right on. As Persian food is not cheap! Typically very expensive elsewhere. Unfortunately however, I do have to say they seem to never get the orders right. I take the food home and realize things are missing out of my order, or it was prepared incorrectly. I feel they can really improve on that. It's important to have persons that can understand and communicate properly at the register and on the phone that take orders. I do absolutely recommend you try this little place. You will not be disappointed. :-) read more
