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

My husband suggested we try this place for some Persian food. He had heard it's really good. I wanted my daughter to have a great Persian meal for her graduation party so I placed my order for Chicken kabobs, Ground beef Kefta, shrimp, filet steaks, rice, flame grilled tomatoes, and salad. Absolutely amazing!!! So much food. We had 10 guests and there was plenty left over! I highly recommend this restaurant and I'm definitely catering from here from now on! read more

Good tasty food at affordable price the owners are good folks with good customer service at heart. Quick service and curious.

We ate here tonight. Party of 4. The food was very very delicious. We love Persian food and have had it many times. This was the best we have ever had. We each had a plate with rice, salad and meat. We tried the beef, Kefta and chicken. All three were phenomenal. The girl at the counter was super nice and helpful. And the prices were very reasonable for the amount of food we had. We will definitely be coming here again and again. read more

Amazing kabobs, top line mediterranean food the beef wrap or the chicken and filet are my go to great service staff are kind

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

This is a hidden Gem in Ahwatukee. Their food never disappoints, is reasonably priced and always friendly.

Amazing Persian food at a great price!!! 12/10 would recommend for value!! First time I had the Thursday night special of Lamb Shank with Bagheli Rice, and then the chicken and beef grill with rice. Both were fantastic. I recommend calling your order in advance as they can get busy. read more

Fresh, clean, great portions, and fast service. No hassles or inconvenience. Fair prices

ZK Grill Ahwatukee is spot on! Everything on the menu is delicious and pretty healthy. Never disappointed in the grilled chicken kabobs. Hubby usually gets the beef kabobs which are equally amazing. Service is always been friendly and love that you can sub a salad instead of rice. Their house champagne salad dressing is light and refreshing. Highly recommend the Greek salad with grilled chicken and house dressing! Yum!!! read more

I just moved to chandler, AZ from San Diego and have been looking for a restaurant where they serve Iranian food close to my house. I found this cute, small place on yelp and decided to give it a try. It's not a fancy restaurant where you get seated and they take your order, but the food was good. You order at the register and they bring it to you. I ordered the Beef combo ( Koobideh), with half rice half salad. the meat was very tender and juicy. The only thing I didn't like about the place was that the stews are only available during certain days of the week. I was looking forward to ordering a few different kinds of stew and bringing them home, but they couldn't take my order since it was a Thursday. Overall good food, clean place, and very friendly staff. I'll def come back. read more

Food was fine, it's comfort food it can't go wrong. The wait? No so much. If I have to wait for 40 mins for my food, why don't I just go somewhere else?? It's not 20mins, it's 40, and when I ask the lady, she says: "sorry we are busy today" with an attitude like we are annoying her. BUSY IS NOT AN EXCUSE. Every store can be busy, if you are short then hire more people! Not making a customer wait for this long and not even apologize! Will never return again. read more

The food order over online was quickly processed. By the time I reached to pick up it was ready. Beef stuff is good and tasty where as chicken is slightly less cooked. It needs to be properly grilled. Overall taste is good. read more

Real big bummer to write this because I like this place, and understand running a restaurant is tough, especially to please everyone. I have been going to this place for years and love their koobideh, it's on par with mom's home cooking. But we got food poisoning our last time ordering from them because they served us undercooked beef. I made them aware of the issue last time (we ordered 30 mins before closing, maybe they were in a rush to close) and asked them to ensure it was cooked through this time. Again super disappointed. It seems their grill is messed up and not providing even heat, half of the skewer is cooked and the other half is very underdone. When I brought this to their attention they just laughed at me. We won't be going back. read more

ZK Grill - Undercooked koobideh. Same order, do they look Cooked the same to you? - Mediterranean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I've been here a few times already. If you love the Persian Room then I think you'll love this place. I normally get the chicken with half salad and half rice with a grilled tomato. They have a pomegranate vinegarette and a champagne vinegarette. I usually prefer the champagne. The tomato is just really outstanding and the chicken is moist, tender, and flavorful on a bed of fluffy rice. They also serve yogurt soda, which I've yet to try. The first time i tried it was at the Persian room which is very unique. They're really friendly here and very quick to make your meal. They only problem is get here fast, because they close at 8. read more

See all

ZK Grill is affordable and offers some decent value for the price. I ventured out and more or less got a pita with a kebab in it called the "Ground Beef Wrap". As a sandwich it didn't make the most sense because the kebab was basically cut in half and was awkward to attempt to eat as part of a sandwich, almost falling out with every bite. Overall though I have no complaints about the food, just not quite hitting that next level that would earn them a 5 star review. read more

ZK Grill - The Ground Beef Wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

OMG, it was sooo good I can say one of the best Mediterranean/middle eastern place that I've tried so far. Loved this place and I wonder why I didn't found the place sooner we had chicken entree and it was amazing! Highly recommended. read more

LOVED IT. I got the Beef and Lamb combo. It was #13 I believe? They give you so much food and more than just the quantity and fairness of the price, more importantly, it was very delicious! The beef wasn't what I was expecting because it was ground beef but was still good. However, the lamb was perfectly cooked and it was amazing. The service was great as well! I will definitely go back to try the other dishes. :) read more

Quality and customer service is awesome will definitely go back to support this business

Delicious! I've lived in Ahwatukee for 20+ years and have never tried this place until today. I always avoided it because their curb appeal gave me the creeps...it just looked unkept from the outside and I assumed their food would be just as bad. But glad to say the food is great! Loved the roasted tomato, the tzaziki sauce and the lamb! read more

Love this place. Great tasting kobideh with basmati rice and greek salad. Yum, yum. Staff is courteous and responsive. Food is great. Get the same quality persian food that you do in the fancy persian restaurants but at a lower price. Ok, the restaurant itself is not fancy, but admittedly, I'm there for the food. read more

My wife got the chicken beef combo and it was super bland. We also got the filet chicken combo and it was no better. We called in about it and the girl who answered the phone just dismissed it saying she can't do anything about it. I wouldn't go back with that customer service read more

Horrible place, the food is way too expensive, and the service is horrible , I walked in and they didn't have the air conditioning on, over all my experience was horrible and, I asked for a piece of bread , she said I have to charge you for the bread. Unbelievable experience with this crappy restaurant, I don't recommend anyone to go to this unfriendly restaurant. read more

Great spot. Fresh food always. I have never had any issues with ordering online and picking up.

I wanted to find a new place for my special friend and i. I looked online and the menu looked great. When we arrived. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I tried the shwarma combo and my friend tried the lamb combo. The food was amazing. I will make sure to return and try more greek dishes. Great job read more

If you're unable to handle the demand of food delivery services, do not put your restaurant on them. I've never seen a restaurant so poorly run that they cancel delivery orders nearly every time. If you actually go to the restaurant, it's always empty too. What are these people even doing? Anyway, if you want good Persian food, skip this place and go to The Persian Room. There, they actually care about their customers and, wait for it, feed them too. Wow, what a concept! read more

I'm a huge fan of Persian and Iranian food. The flavors at ZK reminds of places like Persian Room. Staff is friendly and food is awesome.

Awesome food worth the wait. They need more help so if you know someone looking for a JOB let them know. I had the chicken shawarma salad and it was the bomb. Very tender. My mom had the beef platter that was a 9 out of 10 only because it was burned due to the workers being overwhelmed with people. I guess that is a good problem to have. I have to stay the worker was super and very friendly she kept apologizing for the delay; it seemed like the cooks don't have a system yet as it what food is cooked first etc. Again next time you go there tip that wonderful gal standing in the front! read more

This place is amazing! I've had numerous meals from ZK grill and each one is always perfect! No lie here - eat at least once a week there and perfect taste and flavor every time. I love the freshness of the meats as well as the salads. My fav is the chicken platter with half salad and half rice, and the chicken (and all the meats there) is always freshly grilled for each order! Their filet platter is amazing too!! And their grape leaves are yummy too. And oh their hummus is awesome. BTW I have celiac but they take all precautions for me and thankfully no contamination ever (fingers crossed it stays so). Great value and great Persian food! read more

Ordered for Grubhub delivery. The restaurant cancelled one of my meals and didn't let me know. Surprise! Food shows up and one person doesn't get to eat. I originally made this one star because of the online order snafu. I updated it to three after we ate. The food is amazing. Such great meat. I would recommend the food but I will be wary to order online. read more

I've been here a few times. I usually get the chicken schwarma with fries. The food is pretty good but sometimes the schwarma can be a tad bit oily. I would recommend this place since its quick and under $10. read more

ZK grill is such a hidden gem! I love the food and the portions are great for about $10-$13 a plate. They are a little take out place with minimal seating but their food comes out fast so there doesn't ever seem to be a huge line. I really like the shrimp platter. It comes with some seasoned tiger shrimp, a large portion of saffron rice and a salad. Their salad dressing is ok, but everything else is amazing! The shrimp is fresh and cooked well to where it is bouncy but not tough. The rice has some flavor and if you add the spice at the table, there is a tart and salty flavor. Besides my usual dish, I have heard their gyros are great too! This place is a friendlier and cheaper version of a place in Tucson called Alibaba. The baklava here is just as sweet and delightful. It is still missing something since I'm still looking for the perfect baklava, but they tried. I highly recommend the food here and signing up for their discount texts. read more

Might be a new fav! Food is amazing I've had the lamb and beef Very good...even my kids love it.... both of them! That's unheard of read more

Worst falafel I have ever had. Hummus was below average. Salad was decent but terrible fries! Skip the restaurant for any vegetarian food!

I went here for the first time with few of my friends, and it was the best Persian food I've had in Arizona. I ordered the chicken entree and it was amazing. The food quality was very good and the chicken tasted fresh and very clean environment. I have Persian background so I'm very familiar with persona food and this is way better then Persian room food for sure and prices are good as well! Since I live in AZ comparing this place with Persian room, for sure ZK grill has the best food!!! read more

Everything we tried so far was really good. One combo is more than enough for two people. Lamb and beef combo with half salad and rice. We will definitely be back. read more
