We tried their steak shawerma and it was delicious so fulfilling!! Can't wait to try more items. The staff is very friendly and the place is super clean definitely recommend.
Zaky Zak’s is a true hidden gem in Tampa! From the moment you walk in, you can smell the spices and see the freshness of everything laid out in front of you. The shawarma here is next level—juicy, perfectly seasoned, and wrapped in soft bread that holds together beautifully. The falafel is golden and crisp on the outside, but fluffy and flavorful inside (hard to get that balance right, but they nailed it).
What really sets this place apart is the attention to freshness and detail. The toppings bar is colorful, vibrant, and full of options—from pickled veggies to creamy sauces—all of it tastes like it was made that same morning. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and you leave full without feeling heavy.
The staff makes you feel like family—friendly, welcoming, and genuinely proud of their food. That hospitality, combined with the open-kitchen vibe, makes the whole experience even better.
I’ve had Middle Eastern food in many cities, but Zaky Zak’s easily holds its own with the best. If you’re anywhere near Tampa, don’t sleep on this place—you’ll crave it again the next day!

Hands down the best shawarma I've had in at least a decade,after traveling through north Africa and Middle East, i suddenly found the best shawarma here in Tampa. Treat yourself to anything here, everything is deliciously made in house, everything halal, everything tasty.

I'm usually not one for falafel, but this was fresh, crispy and paired perfectly with the hummus! Would really recommend checking out if you're in the Tampa area! Staff were very friendly and made great suggestions.
