Zam Zam

I was visiting Boston and in search of a locally owned restaurant for dinner. This was within walking distance of my hotel. From the outside, it just appears to be a small restaurant that wasn't busy. Once inside, I was immediately greeted by the owner. He was very friendly. A young hostess then came and led me to a table. There is Pakistani decor around the restaurant that gave the restaurant a homey feel. The owner and I talked about his life back home, him immigrating here, and this business. He was generous with his time and talking about the various menu items with me. I ultimately decided on chicken vindaloo. This dish was delicious! It was mildly spicy. The chicken was tender. The sauce ratio was excellent for the amount of chicken and potatoes included. It came with a side of rice that was perfectly fluffy. The owner recommended I try the garlic naan and I'm so glad he did. It was fluffy with the right amount of toasty and the perfect amount of butter and garlic. The food portions were generous. I ate there and took half home. It was enough for one more meal for me. This restaurant participates in Door Dash. They had several orders picked up while I was there.

One of the sleeping hits.All there dishes were very authentic and desi. There mutton haleem is the finest i have tasted in continental US.Must try

Just recieved take out from here. Everything was fantastic. I'll definitely be back. I ordered the lamb nihari, Karachi Gosht, beef curry and chicken tiki masala with some til walla naan. Intensely flavored and the meat was quality.

Great food! Very fluffy naan toasted to perfection, and the veggies samosas were so good that I ordered extra to go. The lamb korma was a bit on the drier side for the meat, most likely due to the cut and cooking style. The chicken vindaloo was great, the potatoes so tender alongside the chicken. When I come back, I hopefully will try their food with a bit more of a kick, it was a bit on the sweeter side in my opinion. The mango lassi was so good, it was very flavorful and not too much yogurt, like other Indian places would do it. I got chai (not pictured), and it came with no sweetener, which i thought was nice so you could adjust sweetest to your liking! The restaurant was pretty empty, and parking wasn't an issue after 6pm. I hope the restaurant gets more hype it deserves! I'd love to try the biriyani when I go back!

I'm soooo happy I found this place! This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but most authentic and family owned businesses are like that around Boston. That's how you know that the food is authentic! The garlic naan was crispy and fluffy with a thin layer of butter! Not too buttery and look at those air pockets! That's what good naan looks like. The chicken achari was flavorful and the chicken was tender and moist. The rice was fluffy and warm and the combination of the achari and rice is a spoonful of warmth. The food tastes homemade and it feels like comfort food.Although the restaurant looks a bit old and needs some renovation, the food speaks for itself! Yum yum yum

If you are looking for halal Pakistani or Indian food, this is a great spot near Boston. The food is classic and good, the chicken seekh kabab and beef nihari were solid 8/10. The place is classic nostalgic Pakistani with glass covered tables. Our server was very helpful.

When you are craving Pakistani food you have to go where you have to go. We should have heeded the more cautionary reviews about Zam Zam but we always take some negative reviews with a grain of salt. The restaurant was non distinct and upon entering there were no enticing aromas. We did a GrubHub order for the beef Nihari and chicken karahi. You know how to go orders often look kind of sad. Well when we looked at the Nihari we were even sadder. 4 pieces of meat in a pint of oil for 19$ plus gratuity. We make Nihari at home and the size of this 19 dollar entree was more sized for a toddler. The chicken had sufficient meat but suffered from the same oil slick issue. Yes we know these are usually oily but not just 0il . It's a rich gravy not just oil. Anyway, we came, we ate and we won't return.

I never leave a reviews if the food is good !!!-0 out of 102nd and last time ordering from here!

Cannot express how much this food is good- it's a different level of takeout/delivery. It is so delicious, authentic and much more! I wish I had better photos to share, it was so good we couldn't wait to devour it! I was skeptical to order from here, even though I was craving it, due to previous experiences with other authentic restaurants. But it didn't disappoint at all! Again, it's so so delicious and def ordering again.

Our delivery order was incomplete. I called the restaurant, and they refused to send the missing item. They also refused to issue a refund. In short, this place is a slipshod operation run by rude people. Save your money and go elsewhere.
