    Good food and service. This place is a gem. Check it out.

    Food is great, and great coffee and wifi with outlets and easy parking.

    (All the pictures are different meals on different days, just trying to help this place out).

    It was a great idea to take Baklava from Zamzam. My friend & I enjoyed the taste and with no doubts will be there in the future for more tasty food and will definitely order a bday cake next time.
    A special thanks for"Ahmed" for his honesty and prompt advice "keep up the good work!"

    Middle Eastern (Jordanian?) home-style food. We arrived at 1pm on a Sunday, but they were adding a few more dishes to the buffet ($14.99), even at 2pm, so maybe go around 2 or later if you want to try everything. Most items were chicken, beef or eggplant-based. The chicken breast in the chicken and broccoli and the chicken fettucine dish (not al dente like Italians eat it) was a little overcooked, but the flavor of the cream sauce was good.

    My favorites from the buffet were the (1) moutabel/mouttabal (like baba ganoush but with yogurt) - deliciously smoky and lightly tangy - and (2) the shish barak(?) beef dumplings.

    If you've had Scottish haggis (lamb stomach stuffed with lamb heart, lungs and other offal mixed with onions, Irish oats, aka steel-cut oats, and spices), then order the kersh(?). NB, the stomach encasing is not eaten, only the stuffing, and most likely it's not halal. It's a special dish, and quite a few people were at ZamZam for the kersh. Similar to haggis, the filling is stuffed in intestines.

    There were also some manaqeesh flatbreads in a case next to the cash register. Drinks are bottled or in cans that you select yourself from a refrigerator along the left wall.

    The desserts and pastry (separate from the buffet) take up the right wall. There were western desserts like macarons and made-in-house Belgian chocolates. To the right of the western desserts along the right wall was the Middle Eastern pastries, most of which I don't remember the names besides baklava, maybe warbat(?) and burma(?). No halva that I saw, but at the end of the case, there were also a few types of cookies. From others' pictures, it looks like the selection changes somewhat, but I'm willing to bet that they'll always have different baklava, warbat, basbousa (aka hareesh?), and kunafa/knafeh (see pic). The phyllo wasn't crunchy, but then again, it's all doused in sugar syrup.

    They gave me a little taste of their basbousa, which was lovely. I didn't detect any rosewater or orange, but definitely the coconut and, of course, crushed pistachios were sprinkled on top.

    And then there was the kunafa, which I believe was another house specialty. The slightly savory cheese (like mozzarella or paneer) offset the sugar syrup, and it was not cloyingly sweet, imo.

    Everyone, including the patrons, were all very friendly.
