Zaky Zak’s

I was studying at USF library craving NYC halal street food & was recommended this place. The chicken bowl didn’t even make it to the library it was so good. The chicken is fresh and flavorful. Everything from the rice to the toppings are fresh. The hummus on the side of the plate adds such a nice touch per bite. I would pick this over chipotle from now on. Unfortunately my lentil soup spilled all over my bag/ car so i wasn’t able to try it, but the falafel made up for it. They are made fresh to order, so by the time I stared to eat them they were just right in temperature.

The food was amazing, especially their spicy sauce—absolutely fire! I got the chicken-stuffed pita with spicy sauce , jalapeno and veggies, and it was both delicious and super filling. It was my first time trying the place, and while $9 for a pita seemed a bit pricey at first, the quality and portion of the meat definitely made it worth it. They were also making fresh falafel to order. Definitely a spot worth checking out !

This place was so authentic and yummy and the owner spent some time explaining to us about the different ingredients and “Zaky” means delicious. And it was! I ordered the falafel pita and my friend got the chicken pita and then you get to add your own ingredients and I have to say the flavors and spiciness of mine was right on point. I also got two pieces of the cashew caramel baklava — that was amazing. The interior is not fancy, but it’s clean and the ingredients were fresh and the service was fabulous. If you’re looking for something unique that’s not too expensive this is the place!! A great place for lunch or dinner before you hit some shops nearby.

Great food, but fast food atmosphere. The prices are a bit high. $8 for a basket of fries. The steak bowl was very good. The garlic tahini sauce is tasty. Don’t come here for the view. Come here for quick food that is yummy and different from the normal American cuisine.

Wow just wow. I saw this place when I was driving in the area and I thought let me take a look at the reviews. Ok they had good reviews, so now I needed to see for myself. Well let me tell you, this food was so flavorful and amazing. I ordered the steak bowl with all of the toppings. It was incredible. The steak had so much flavor and you can taste each and every item in the bowl. Even the rice was bursting with flavor. Everything was super fresh and nothing overpowering. I could have eaten a whole other bowl myself. Next time I would love to try the saj, just because they really pack it and grill it on the flat top. There is a reason why they have good reviews. Run don't walk to Zaky Zak, you won't be sorry.
