Absolutely wonderful service from a very kind gentleman. I handed him 10 bucks and he whipped me a special custom sandwhich! Normally sandwhiches are 7 -9

Got the pie, and while i waited, the owner or worker and I talked a bit. One of the best customer service from a shop like this, and that says a lot, since I’ve been t Europe and the middle east. Food was pretty cheap but tasted

Owner at the counter is a middle aged man, very friendly which is great if you are looking for conversation while waiting for food. Pies taste great and have a homey feel to them. Prices are very cheap relative to the area. Totally recommend a visit, but don't forget to bring cash.

The friendliest customer service in town! The food is super delicious and cheap, although be sure to pay in cash. :) Best sandwich in Berkeley.

The owner was so sweet and gave me a bagel and coffee, allowing me to pay tomorrow because I didn’t have any cash on me! The food was delicious! I will definitely be coming back !

Cute little deli. Owner is a chill dude. Good spot for a quick bite (MEAT PIES) but its only open from 8AM to 3PM. And bring cash, its cash only. Prices are low for the UCB area. Good for students on a budget. Angel Rodriguez, the owner from Cabanas Cafe, told me I should post more 5 star reviews. So here it is. Check out Zak's Snacks for some MEAT PIES. 5 stars.
Great food and personable, kind owner. Bring cash!

Love love love! Owner is so kind and extremely welcoming, his personality really lights up the room and you can tell how passionate he is about his shop. Wonderful place, affordable prices, super interesting home-cooked-food style selection, and feels very hole-in-the-wall authentic. A true Berkeley gem!

Agree with the other 5 stars on the food and friendly shop owner Jamal. Part Syrian myself the smells of middle eastern food zaatar, cinnamon and freshly baked bread filled the air while I watched Jamal working the dough and cooking as my grandmother and mother did. Truly a treat!
Samuel Patterson
Amazing little shop with truly artisan handmade savory pies and middle eastern pastries. Owner very passionate about his business.Cash only!

New to the Berkeley community and have rarely felt so welcome as I did eating at Zak's recently. His big smile and warm personality are exceeded only by the size and deliciousness of his sandwiches. The grilled eggplant sandwich was fantastic and competitively priced. Highly recommend.
