Located in the Exxon gas station, to my surprise. I thought I was going to a restaurant to sit down and eat. The Lamb Gyro was pretty good and fresh. I do not normally eat at gas stations and was taken back when I arrived. However, I'm an hour away from home and needed something to eat fast... then get back on the road. The lettuce and tomatoes were very fresh. The lamb was the consistency of lamb meatballs, chopped up. it only cost $10. Not bad if you're on the road and do not have a lot of time. Once you can get past the fact that it's in the gas station. I sat in my car and ate. And then got back on the road. read more

For $9.53, this meal is definitely not worth it if you live remotely close to Philadelphia. You can get higher quality food from the food trucks on the road down in the city for $6, and it'll come with a drink as well. For almost double the price, you're paying for less meat, a cold piece of naan, and a unfriendly service. When I went up to put in my order at the register, the cashier didn't even bother to try making eye contact with me, or look in my direction for that matter. The cashier was also not wearing a mask, and only had a single glove on his hand (the cashier was also the one frying the falafels). There was also no hand sanitizer or social distancing going on in the cramped waiting area for the food. As far as COVID guidelines go, they probably weren't following a single one... The food itself wasn't all the great in my opinion either, especially for the price you're paying for. They tossed in a cold piece of naan, which was nice I suppose since the trucks down in the city don't come with naan. However, the worker took the cold pre-cooked piece of naan out of the packaging, tossed it on the stove top for 30 seconds and then put it in my take-out box. It was still pretty cold when I ate it, 5ish minutes afterwards. The salad that it comes with was an interesting addition, but it doesn't make up for the less meat that you get overall by getting your food here. If you're really in the mood for some "halal food" (aka. chicken over rice) out here then it'll give you your quick fix. But definitely if you're closer to the city, don't make the trip to come out here to try them, it's not worth your money or your time. What I ordered: Combo Rice Platter - Chicken Rice Platter & Lamb Rice Platter (~1:30pm Wed.) read more

Following the advice of Dan A, I didn't let the idea of grabbing a bite from a place located in a gas station bother me. I now will share the same advice. Zara Halal food might not be where you'd expect it, however, they do make some good food. We both ordered the combo. We got lamb & falafel and lamb & chicken. The portions on the protein were heavy. They taste was incredible as well. I will admit to getting the hot sauce on the side. While it wasn't as hot as I expected, I did enjoy the meal more with a bit less sauce. Prices are cheap. Not the cheapest meal I've ever gotten cheap, but definitely a good value for the portions. And while there isn't much dine in space, the staff was patient and friendly. I'd return if I am back in the area. read more

Yes!! This place nails it with the food and flavor. It's your classic hole in the wall place that one would never think of even getting any sort of food in, but one that's a gem in hiding. I am originally from the nyc area and was spoiled with amazing falafel and shawarma food...Halal carts/Mamouns etc and have been craving some good middle eastern sandwiches. The falafel sandwich was crisp and fresh, flavorful, and filling. Fries were freshly made. And the men behind the counter were very nice. This will be a go to! read more

best falafel wrap I've found, service is always friendly and good, price is reasonable, I'll always come back!

What can I say this is my first time trying Zara halal food. Omg it's tasty. I loved it. My food was made on time and the staff were friendly.Thank you ( my American friend also loved it) I will definitely order from you from now on. read more

Delicious gyro! And both of the gentlemen behind the counter were very pleasant and helpful.

I have been eating here since May of 2020 or earlier. It has always been five stars. On 03/06/23 I placed a pickup order. I took four platters across the street to the park and ate with my lady friend and two daughters. The food was AMAZING. Rice was always good but there was new recipe, possibly including tamarind and dates. The proteins were very good as usual though the falafel was phenomenal! The phone number doesn't always work but the staff is always friendly. I tried the shrimp once and I was thrilled with it. But, everything else has been tasty: -chicken -lamb -rice platters -gyros -samosas -kebabs -falafel -white sauce -red sauce read more

Excellent food quality and quality. Quick service and very clean!!!! Great prices Chicken Rice Platter Enjoyed our dinner and will definitely be back read more

DON'T place an online order. They don't check their system. I showed up 30 minutes after ordering and they had no idea they had received an order. I had to stand around for another 20 minutes for them to make the food. Also, the food sucked. read more

This is Lansdale's hidden gem. It's located INSIDE the gas station BUT DON'T LET THAT BE A TURN OFF. It costs $8 for a huge amount of food. If you never had this food, get the chicken, lamb, and rice platter with white and spicy sauce. If you can't handle spice, ask for the spice on the side. ITS $8, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE!?!? Try it and I guarantee you'll be hooked. Thank you to Zara for bringing this food to our town. You're welcome all future Zara addicts! read more

Zara Halal food - Chicken, lamb, and rice platter - Halal Near Me - Lansdale, Pennsylvania

I really didn't know what to expect, but I'm so glad I gave this place a chance! It's located inside a gas station convenience store. When you walk in, it looks like any other gas station, but it smells amazing! I knew I made the right choice to come just based on this alone. I ordered the falafel platter and I threw in a samosa on the side for fun. The samosa was one of the best I've ever had! It was perfectly crisp, piping hot, and well-seasoned. The dough was flaky and delicious. This really caught me by surprise how good it was! I opted for both sauces for my platter and they were both excellent. The hot sauce actually packs some heat, which I loved!! I'm so pleasantly surprised and I will definitely order from here again. read more

These people do NOT deserve anyone's business. They couldn't run my company's credit card and so when I asked them if I could give them another credit card, will they give me a receipt... They started yelling like I said something wrong. They are truly unprofessional and swore at me as I was leaving. *Boycott this place!* read more

Zara Halal food - A PLACE YOU DO NOT WANT TO GIVE YOUR MONEY TO. THEY ARE VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! - Halal Near Me - Lansdale, Pennsylvania

Very disturbing occurrences on two different visits recently. My son just returned from picking up food at Zara's, where he has gone for several years. One of the men on duty where you pay for non-food items told the Zara employee in Hindi, which my son understands but doesn't speak, "when he comes in, charge him $3.00 extra." The price all the times before today was $11.40 for his regular rice and chicken order. My son called the man out and the man said he was only kidding; however, my son said the man had been serious when he told the other employee to overcharge him. On a prior visit, my son had paid $35 for his gas (Zara's is in a gas station building; you pay Zara's for your food, and the gas station for any gas, drinks, sundries) and the man told him "Oh, it didn't go through, I have to charge you again." My son checked his bank account and saw that the charge had gone through and he refused to give his card for a second time. He showed the man the gas charge of $35 on his online statement. The man then told my son that he had given him a discount "last time" and so my son owed him $4.00 for this visit. My son refused to pay the $4.00 and left. Zara's has always been a place where you could get good halal food, but now we feel the suspicious/offensive behavior of the employees at both Zara's and the gas station far outweigh the food. This place is a no-go for us now. I would recommend being very careful when buying food or gas. read more

Very solid halal meal. Get the combo over rice. You have to ask for pita if you want that as well.

Definitely recommend. Was skeptical since in a gas station but very solid. They just need to add some flavor to the rice and then it'll be 5 stars. read more

Food was delicious. Service was prompt.I will return and the prices were good.Come and check it out.

Wow!! Best halal food cart style cuisine I've had. They have samosas too!! Very exciting & delicious & conveniently located and humbly delivered. Can't wait to have more. The chicken & lamb combo was astounding. I don't know if I'm willing to try any other part of their menu, but I've got to! read more

The food is simple and excellent! I stopped here on a friend's recommendation. Don't let a gas station kitchen deter you. Again, the food is fantastic. Simple ingredients that are fresh and tasty. It's reasonably priced. Prompt and friendly service. I love the lamb gyro and falafel. They always accommodate my request for extra tzatziki sauce. Try it! You won't be disappointed. It's hard to find good consistent food these days. This place is definitely a gem to find! read more

Pretty good Halal food. I used to work in NYC and had a great food truck that sold the same food. It was almost as good. Definitely better than the Halal Brothers chain and the one in KOP for sure! read more

Okay so this restaurant is located at a gas station. I love halal food, but that made me skeptical. Due to the reviews I tried it anyway. Looks can be deceiving the food was great!!! So don't let the location stop you. It's actually kind of cool. It was clean and staff was friendly. Falafel was really good and fish platter was good as well! They give you extra sauce too! read more

I used to count on this place for good food but lately the food is really lousy. Especially, the falafel. It's so hard that you can't chew it. I'm sure that they notice when the falafel is old or dried out , maybe they don't care anymore because they have a customer base. Please go back to what you used to do so well. read more

This restaurant was a go to for me and my co-workers. We ordered at least once a week. The quality has gone down significantly over the last two months. The last three orders I have placed have been messed up. Sadly we will be takin our business elsewhere from now on. read more

Complete lack of customer service! I arrived to place an order, waited 5 minutes just to place an order, with no one else waiting, to be told it would be a 15 minute wait for food. The food is good, but if you don't have customer service basics in place, you lose my business. read more

One good thing that came from being stuck at home during a pandemic was my discovering Zara while looking around DoorDash's options near my home. I had never heard of or seen Zara's before and after finally going there in person, I understand why. Zara is inside a gas station and doesn't really stand out, even though I have probably driven past it a million times. Not the nicest gas station. The food counter doesn't look very impressive either, but the food the food they're dishing out is just flat out scrumptious. My wife and I love all types of Mediterranean and middle eastern pita sandwiches and Zara exactly what we needed nearby. Love the lamb and chicken gyros. The meat has a ton of flavor and the pita is super soft. The samosas are a great additional side to grab, along with a side order of falafel. Both are great to dip in a mixture of the red and white sauces. Haven't ventured past those four items probably but that's because I haven't needed to. This is great food to cure a craving or a case of the munchies. Doesn't look like much and they could probably do a better job with masks with employees and customers, but the food hits the spot. read more

First time ordering from here and was skeptical because there weren't that many reviews and its part of a gas station. Yikes! Well, they definitely did put my skepticism to rest. The portions are plenty and the food is flavorful. Usually some of these halal places have very small portions of meat, dry rice and mask it all up by drenching it in white and red sauce. Zara has pretty big chunks of flavorful meat and, being indian, I could actually taste some authentic flavor in the rice as well. Very impressed and will definitely make the 20+min ride out again when I need a chicken and rice fix. The one thing I dont get is why their Yelp online prices are higher than the printed menu? read more

I've ordered here many times on Uber eats in the past and had no issues. However, I decided one day to order the food in the store. When I got there one of the workers was staring at me when I ordered the food like I was speaking another language. He made the order but was grumpy throughout. He did leave halfway through and a lady came out to finish it and she was very nice. I got the chicken and shish kebab rice platter. The food was delicious as always but I'll stick to Uber eats for now. read more

First time ordered here today. We had shish kabob over rice, falafel over rice and lamb gyro sandwich. They all are very flavorful, nice portions both sauce tastes great. We will be regulars here from now on!! read more

OMG!!! I've been staying so close but somehow have never noticed this restaurant until Yelp showed me today. Ordered Chicken Rice and it was delivered on time (grub hub) and it is one of the Best I've had since my SFO days. Spice level and quantity were perfect. Chicken was so juicy and delicious. I would suggest getting extra white sauce. You can get hot sauce on the side to add to the spice level as needed. read more

If you asked me a month or so ago I'd have given them a five.. now not so much. They never remember my sauces anymore the toppings are non existent. But the food is good. Especially for a gas station restaurant like I love them. I still order it bc I don't know where else I can order the same kind of food from. So good great service has been poop lately. Whoever you guys let go get him back lol read more

I really like their food however just as a constructive criticism note, the falafel could be a little bit less dense. Other than that everything was delicious. The restaurant to my front door delivery was impeccable as well. I will definitely call them again read more

Amazing food. Favorite is the combo meat platter but the first salad was surprising delicious as well. If you like spicy always get it with both white and red sauce, you can't go wrong. read more

solid halal food. reminds me of the food trucks in philly. they raised their price which is understandable. still worth it for a hefty lunch. read more

Yo!!! This place is the bomb!!! I've ordered from here at least 8 times by now. The food is a bit on the salty side. But, damn it's really good. Delivery is very quick and I will keep ordering from here as much as possible. read more

Great portions and consistently tasty. Reminds of food trucks in the city, without the drive.

I am a frequent visitor to Zara Halal and this visit did not disappoint. Staff is always friendly and their combo meals are delicious!

Best Mediterranean food in town. Soft and fluffy pita bread paired with nicely fragranted meat. Good portion for a very affordable price.

The food may be good. Really not sure since it was ice cold by the time we found it. The delivery driver couldn't locate our building, so left the food under a random light post in our large complex. Would have been nice to have received a phone call. read more

Great food, great customer service. Don't let the location fool you, the food quality is great every time I eat there.

The best halal food ever. We ordered for delivery and they were actually a bit early. Had the lamb gyro ,chicken and rice and falafel and rice. Extra white sauce. Will absolutely order from here again. read more
