WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Ordered food to be delivered, when our delivery arrived we were missing one dish. We called, immediately, to let them know & they automatically blamed the delivery service - which is not right because the bags were closed so tightly! We explained that to the lady on the phone & she kept saying it wasn't her fault. We asked to speak to a manager, at first she claimed she was the manager, then when we told her we'd call law enforcement she switched completely & said she would have us talk to someone else. We are visiting & we will NEVER recommend this spot because of their lack of customer service & rude behavior! read more

This place is probably the best new lunch spot find I've found in a long time. The chicken gyro with fries is about $9 with tax and an amazing meal. The place is always clean and neat. If you need a semi quick lunch check this place out. They do paperless card touch system to pay to. read more

Gyros were delicious, the tzatziki was yummy. Ordered online. Order was made quickly, pick up was easy. Will be back.

I love this place There are so many mediterranean restaurants but this one is the best First they are never to busy ( I hope for them they will be one day ) so everything come out fast The service is nice and the food is the BEST They don't charge much for such a big portion Every single item is good ( maybe the falafel is not ) so no meter what you will order I think it's a win Enjoy read more

We like the food at this place, everything seems so fresh. We had wraps (gyro and beef skewer). They come with fries or salad, we chose fries and ordered a shirazi salad side. We also got the stuffed grape leaves and they were delicious! They come in a plate with a pita, cucumbers, and yogurt dip. They were warm... I think I never had warm dolmeh but it was really good. My beef skewer was not as tasty as usual, I do not know if it needed salt, spices or something, but it was not as good. Everything else was great. Doogh was good but we still miss the home made one : ( read more

Great food at a great price! I love this place and I really recommend this nice restaurant to everyone.

Stopped by this weekend while running errands. Ordered 2 chicken entrees... one with all salad, one half and half ... salad and rice. Everything go turned out perfect. Don't forget to ask for the grilled tomato on the side! Takeout took about 10 minutes. I wish this place was closer... I'd eat here every day! If you're looking for a local takeout shop to try... ZK Grill is the spot! read more

ZK Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Finally returned after 7 years on the other side of town. My memory didn't let me down, the food was delicious. Very reminiscent of a similar mom and pop set up in the LA area where I hail from. Restaurant was clean and neat and a step up from you normal fast food establishment. I ordered the gyro plate and the chicken and lamb combo plate. The gyro was delish! Everything was fresh and hot. The rice was just perfect with a nice hint of saffron. The Greek side salad is good, I liked the tanginess of the dressing. Chicken and lamb was good too. But my fave was the gyro. Plenty of food for my husband and I to share and try each other's plates. Definitely going back. read more

It is sad I have to say one star. I have had many many orders from here before. Delicious food. Countless times they messed up the order by forgetting pita or the order of backlava, but the food was good enough to make up for it. Last time though, I had food poisoning. I know it is this place as I ate nothing before for at least 7 hours and did not eat anything for at 30 hours later and still having trouble holding food. I will sadly say avoid. One place that gave me happiness must have very bad health practices. No wonder the friends I recommended this place to, fled when they went in person. I wish them the best. read more

I ordered lunch, full price all day, the order was subpar, I was immediately through Uber given a refund. Thanks

WARNING: DO NOT COME HERE. I was here recently and I was treated like trash by an incompetent, aggressive employee for no reason. I was cussed out and treated like an intruder for simply picking up my food. He delayed my order and gave me the wrong items, and had the nerve to blame me for it. I could also hear employees talking about racist topics behind the counter. These people are terrible. read more

We wanted something quick, cheap, easy and relaxed practically like you don't have to be done up to dine there. ZK's grill is the perfect place for that! I came with my family with my gym clothes on and we ordered at the counter. My hubby and I ordered the beef and chicken platter with rice and a salad. The portions were perfect for the two of us. The flavor is really really good especially the chicken and rice. We also ordered baklava and it was delicious!!! The prices are inexpensive and I definitely see myself coming back when I'm craving Mediterranean food. read more

They must not confirm the orders are complete with the delivery drivers, because mine didn't show up. The driver went back and got it several hours later and I was very disappointed at the taste of potatoes in the hummus. I really wish restaurants would stop skimping on the healthy chickpeas with the very unhealthy potatoes. The potatoes give me indigestion. Lots of restaurants do this. I guess there's nothing I can do about this, but yelp. read more

Fantastic Persian food and fantastic service! There were some pros and cons of ZK, but I'm glad that I gave it a try. It is kind of in a random location, in a little area you can see from the street, easy to find! There weren't many people when we went on a Friday night which was nice, I think a lot of people were getting takeout. Major props to the guy behind the counter, he was rockin it. He had takeout orders, was answering calls, serving people, and cleaning the tables. He still made time to talk to us and tell us about the menu! Answer our questions about the menu items we were unsure about, and apologized for being so busy. Poor guy had to do everything by himself! I decided on the falafel wrap and got hummus to start as well. My mom got a chicken platter. The hummus was really smooth and tasty! I had some of my moms rice too and loved it. This is obscure, but my favorite thing was the tzatziki sauce haha, it was a little lemony and tasted great with the falafel. The falafel was moist and flavorful. Only thing I did not like was the side salad, I think that is just because I'm not huge on romaine lettuce though. I wish I would've had the fries instead..this is what happens when you try to make healthier choices haha. But the champagne dressing was tasty. My mom liked her chicken too. We had food to bring home and left satisfied! read more

ZK Grill - Falafel wrap, hummus, my moms chicken! - Mediterranean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

It's about time I wrote a positive review for ZK Grill. Although I had been there a couple of years ago with a Groupon, it did not make an impression until last week. I stopped for takeout at 8 p.m. on Friday. This was a $10 chicken Entree, which included half rice and half salad, a very generous portion of chicken, a pita and some yummy Greek dressing. The only thing I would add would be some feta cheese on the salad. The portion was so generous I ate it for lunch the next day as well. The chicken was extremely tender grilled to Perfection and had a marvelous flavor which although yellow was not Curry. The cashier was extremely Pleasant and I even watched her chase a man down to return his credit card before he left the store. The kitchen was quick and efficient, yet I felt my meal was prepared to order. I would highly recommend this for a Mediterranean meal! Affordable, generous, and tasty! read more

ZK Grill - Chicken entree, half salad / half rice - Mediterranean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I can't believe I haven't written a review for ZK Grill. I've been coming here for quiet sometime. When I first came here I always wanted to try this place cause I love mediterranean food. So I walk in and i don't know how to explain. There's lots of booths and tables in the middle but hardly no one sits at the tables. I do see a few people but this is really a take-out type of place. We ordered our food and had to wait 30 minutes for our food cause of so many people calling in orders. So you got to be patient. You order at the counter and there is usually one person taking your order, packing up the take-out, serving the food to the tables and cleaning up the tables. So the person taking the order is really busy. I usually order the lamb wrap. Love the lamb. It's grilled and always cooked perfectly. Nice and juicy with good flavor. The wrap has about four to five large pieces of lamb with lettuce, tomatoes, and red onions in a pita bread. When you put the yogurt sauce on the wrap, oh my goodness. So good. I'm in love with the lamb. It also comes with salad or fries. I get the salad. It's a normal iceberg lettuce with tomatoes and cucumbers and you get your choice of your dressing. Not a real fan of the dressing but it's ok. My wife really likes the chicken entree where she gets about 5-6 grilled chicken pieces with rice, salad, a grilled tomato and pita bread. One thing is the chicken seems a little dry but my wife uses my yogurt sauce from my wrap and it makes a ton of difference. So she really like that. The rice is really good and really enjoys the grilled tomato. I've also had their beef skews. It's basically ground beef with lots of spices. Pretty good but like the lamb the best. So overall I love the food here. Really good. When I call in it usually takes between 15-30 minutes for your order to be ready so it's best if you call in. I really don't think there is any ambience at all. Very bland atmosphere. That's why I've never eaten here. So I love the food for a semi-quick Mediterranean fix. Enjoy. read more

I love this place the chicken is fresh the salads are fresh and crispy, you truly feel good after eating their meals. Been here 3 times. First two times had chicken shawarma and lives it both times. Third time decided to try a gyro. To my disappointment the gyro meat was not tasteful, some of the slices were dry must've been shaved from the end our outer part. The taste was somewhat similar to liver which I like but not in my gyro meat. The pita bread was not fresh and I had better tzaziki sauce before. I will come to this place again but will stick to only chicken dishes and no gyro meat. I came back today to order shwarma chicken using a Groupon. To my disappointment they have changed the way they serve the chicken. They do not serve nice chunks of grilled chicken but you get these strips of chicken that do not taste as good as they did before. read more

By far one of the best mediterranean food. I've found in AZ would highly recommended!

My favorite hummus ever!! I can't even buy the hummus at stores anymore because their hummus is so smooth with a very well rounded flavor, not tart or bitter.. soo great!! read more

Awesome food.... very tasty generous portions. Tender meats. Rice great. Fast service enjoyed every bite

This restaurant does not deserve a penny of your hard earned money. I have done two take outs here and the food is "ok", I have had much better. But why this place deserves ZERO STARS is their staff. I ordered through yelp/grub hub for take out - Picked up on time to an empty restaurant (girl working was not engaged to do anything). Get home with my order for me and my husband to find missing grilled tomatoes in both meals and all the food thrown into the box + a missing baklava. Call the restaurant to get refunded for the missing baklava and girl working has the audacity to ask if I dropped it or lost it on my 2 minute drive home. How is that even possible with the triple knot you added that I had to rip through the side to even get to the food?! She purposely was trying to enrage me and THEN tells me she can't refund me because it's through grub hub. This restaurant should fire this employee as she is a waste of space and reevaluate their purpose on this earth. Condescending, rude, little care for their customers - don't waste your money. Persian Room is worth the few extra bucks not to deal with this horrible establishment. read more

LOVE the chicken shawarma wrap and eggplant appetizer! The chicken is so flavorful and they really stiff the wrap!

This is an update to my former review - and long overdue. My initial review was on 2/2/2015 following our first visit to ZK Grill (also known as Zaytoon Kabob Bistro) and I only gave it 2-stars, not because the food was bad but the place was really dirty. Several weeks following my review I received a direct email from their management through Yelp with a very generous offer for us to return and give them another try. They explained that during that time period they were in the process of remodeling their entire restaurant, with the work taking place during the evenings, but still trying to stay open during business hours. While it was a gracious offer, and one that showed a lot of class - not only in the offer but what was said in the email - my wife still wasn't enthusiastic about returning. But we did several months later. When we walked in it didn't look like the same place. It was still in the same strip mall, but it had undergone a "significant" remodel. I've included several photos so you can see for yourself. Compare these photos to all the previous photos posted on Yelp (not only their location, but their food). It was a slightly different layout, but with new floors, tables, counter, menu display, and now food was served on white plates with silverware, no more plastic stuff. We still ordered from the counter and our food was delivered to us after we sat down. The food, while good during our first visit, was even better. I've been back at least a dozen times since, occasionally I took photos when I remembered to take my camera. While we've tried "most" of their offerings, we've never tried any of their desserts because their portions are so large we can never finish them. I've never gotten through more than half of any of their plates; always taking the rest home. [Note: Their Combination Platter is excellent.] Despite good food and the remodel, what my wife and I have constantly been impressed with is their service. They usually only have one person working the counter, who also delivers the food to the tables and walks around to help customers, but they are all very good. We particularly like three of the young lady's that work there, all three are sisters. I am very appreciative to their management for making such a generous offer. We've eaten at much higher scale places that haven't shown this amount of class. As a result of this offer, and our experience, ZK Grill has become one of our "go-to" places, which is good for us because it's located very close to where we live. I won't go into describing the various menu offerings we've had; I'll let the photos do the talking. read more

This is a Must have! Excellent Middle Eastern food, great service. Very very yummy. Highly recommend. Came in on Super Bowl Sunday, was lucky I missed the crowd read more

Would have given 4.5 stars if I could. A near perfect score... I'll start with the miss: 1) The decor/location leave a lot to be desired. Think of mom/pop fast food rather than a nice, sit down restaurant. In their defense, it's likely a cost saving measure since they don't seem to bill themselves as a 'fine Persian' dining experience. The location and decor aren't terrible. Everything is clean and decent... just not the most modern or up to date. 2) Their high chair was useless. Minor issue if you don't have a toddler... if you do, bring a stroller or other avenue for your kid to eat. To be specific, they have a high chair but my kid was able to slide out from under it without a problem. He's taller and clumsy so it's not like it's easy for him to wiggle out of it. Here are the hits: 1) Great tasting food. I'm of Persian background and critical of my kabob... the beef kabob (koobideh) here is excellent. Juicy and cooked great. They give you side options where most Persian restaurants do not. The non-kabob items are equally well done (ghormeh sabzi and fesenjan) although they don't call it that. Everything appeared fresh and not reheated. 2)The staff are friendly, inviting and hospitable. My party of 8 and I came suddenly and they were able to get us seated and served in no time. They even let us stay and finish our conversation about ten minutes after they closed so we'd enjoy ourselves. 3) They're not bougie. Most Persian restaurants tend to cater to snobby, high class types. This restaurant feels like a family establishment that tries to get people to try a different type of cuisine. They're good at what they do and coincidentally their food is better than some famous, snobby Persian restaurants in Southern California. I wish we had a place like this in SoCal. If I'm back in the Scottsdale area, I'll happily go back for some more of that great beef kabob. read more

The worst I have ever tasted among Mediterranean food. Horrible taste. We ordered combo platter and falafel wrap. As they were about to close we were requested to take To-go. So we took the food home and tasted horrible food ever. Fries has no salt and tasted like crap. The worst part is we were given filet wrap instead of falafel wrap. We don't even eat meat and I clearly mentioned that to "Elahe". Yet our food got meat in combo as well as the wrap. We drove 30mins and they messed it up. read more

I ate at this restaurant tonight with my family. Michael, the owner told us the business had been there 11 years. While we live close by this was the first time we had been there.

Michael's personality makes for an enjoyable meal. read more

I absolutely love Mediterranean food. I have been here a few times and have yet to be disappointed The chicken entree is very good and they give a large portion.

This is a great place to get some good ethic food that is healthy. The food is spot on and reasonably priced. Love the fact they play classical music and the order taker is always very friendly.

This is a great spot for quick and reasonably priced Persian food. The restaurant itself is not fancy in the least but I don't go here for the decor - I go here for the food. I think I've had every version of the kebab they make and it is all good. Their ghormeh Sabzi and Ghaimeh is some of the best I've had in Arizona outside of California. It's almost as good as the one I make lol. If you like Persian & Mediterranean style food you will be happy with the food here. read more
