Overall Rating: 4/5
If you’re chasing authentic flavors over fancy ambience, Zam Zam is a spot you’ll want to try – especially during Ramazan!
Food: 4/5 Their Biryani is aromatic and generously portioned, while the Haleem during Ramazan is rich, hearty, and packed with flavor. Don’t miss the Firni – it’s a sweet ending worth waiting for. Evenings here come alive with kebabs and parathas, which are a local favorite for good reason.
Service: 2/5 The service is swift, but the space is small and feels clumsy, especially during rush hours. No air conditioning adds to the discomfort, particularly in the warmer months.

They give 2 pieces of tender succulent beef and 1 potato. The quality of rice is great. The food is not too spicy and oily. But 1 full plate of biryani is enough to suffice your hunger.

This place even serves Firni which is delicious. Rich, creamy firni puts a smile on one's face. The place does not have a good seating arrangement. The food should be parcelled. The ambience is not exactly bad but it does not have air conditioner so one might feel hot and sweaty. So it is advisable to pack the food and...
