There really aren't many places on Devon that serve the yummy Pakistani brunch known as halwa/puri/choley, but this place does and they continue to serve later than the other places (so I can sleep in and still have a delicious brunch)! The decor is pretty decent for a place on Devon, and it was very clean, which is a plus. OMG it was probably the BEST halwa/puri/choley I have ever had, and that's saying a lot since I've had it millions of times before. It was only $4.99 for a huge serving of halwa, puri, raita and 3 huge puris that weren't too oily--they had the perfect balance of chewiness and crispiness. Seriously it was enough food for both my husband and I, and we were struggling to finish it by the end (but we just had to keep eating because it was so freakin good). Zam Zam also serves a variety of chats (snack foods consisting of chickpeas, yogurt, spices, pieces of samosa and lots of yummy sauces) and we ordered the Samosa Chat. OMG! It was also soo freakin yummy. It was nice and warm (lots of times when you order chat, they serve it cold--but it's definitely so much better served warm) and had the perfect amount of spice, sauce, yogurt, etc. Mmmmmmm!! Service here is very friendly. I think this place doesn't get the recognition it deserves since it is next door to Sabri Nehari, but Zam Zam's prices are way better and the food is just as good, if not better. We spent less than $10 and were absolutely stuffed with yummy deliciousness. I am seriously still drooling over this meal and will be going back this weekend for more!!

The staff is super nice!! For the price you def. get a good amount of delicious food. They have a lunch platter that was in the $7ish range with a good variety of stuff. I am not too well versed with the different types/names of indian/pakistani food but its some great stuff (I have been to a decent amount of Idian places too) for sure!!

Great place for Pakistani breakfast. We had the keema paratha (a buttery flatbread with ground beef inside), the alu paratha (the same flatbread with potatoes and spices). The parathas are served with pickled vegetables (South Asian style, of course) and tangy yogurt. We also had the puri, huge billowy clouds of something too light to call bread -- which come with a giant serving of chick peas, potatoes, yogurt with seasonings and some kind of sweet orange goopy stuff. All was absolutely delicious, and each item was about five dollars for massive amounts of food.

I have been to this place about 20 times. The first time, I was trying to locate Gharib Nawaz but was unsuccesful! I wanted to blame it on my GPS, google maps in my iPhone and my luck. But, I want to thank all of that instead because those are the reasons that led me to ZamZam. Very nice Pakistani place. I like all their biryani spread and love chicken qorma they have. If you are fond of biryani then you should check out this place. Prices are very reasonable and I would even say that it is totally inexpensive given the quality. 4 stars because the dine-in experience has room for improvement. Good place. Will recommend.

Nothing they make here stands out from 50 other shops around Devon but one thing that never changes about this place is friendliness of its staff. They are always helpful and take that extra step to please you that you know see other Indian/Pakistani sweet shops would.

The guys here have always been good to me when I come in and order a large amount of samosas with extra sauce. It's my favorite snack stop on my way home right off the Campbell stop on the 155 Devon bus.
