My favorite downtown lunch spot for over a decade. This place operates at an elite tier of lunch restaurants that should be aspired to. Great food, great prices, they do a few things and do them very well, extremely efficiently.

I had the worst customer service experience of my life at this place. If you don't value self-respect, you can visit this place. We spent over $60 on food, but the person on cash was consistently rude to us. We were ordering food and he started shouting leaving us uncertain that we are committing some crime by ordering more food from him. If someone asks fork or cold drink after ordering food he starts shouting. He serves food in such a way that he's offering the finest food in the entire USA, which is far from the truth. And if he will not serve food, peole will starve to death. I didn't see tortillas in a desi restaurant before and this credit goes to Zum Zum that they don't make authentic bread as it's impossible to not have desi bread in a desi restaurant. Moreover, rice was also full of oil. We should also accept our mistake that we didn't see bad google reviews so fortunately we learned a lesson. We came at Seattle for a trip and this guy ruined our day.

Tasty lamb curry, large portions, super friendly service!

This place is the best! All the curries are great, but they have a daily vegetarian special. I don't even ask what's on special, I just order it. It's always delicious.

Cafe Zum Zum is incredible! The food is absolutely delicious and the service is unbeatable. The owner is one of the most hospitable and kind humans. Fast, friendly, and healthy well-made food. I'll be going back as soon as possible.

Really great food. Daal is super good

For a quick meal this place is great. The food is tasty and the owner really appears to enjoy his work. They were located closer to my office before but worth the walk. I prefer to enter on 4th to avoid 3rd Ave.
Decent place and good food. This is inside the building on the first floor with two more food places adjacent and a common seating around. Seems this place is here since the 90s. Owner was welcoming. I had the lamb and rice and it was delicious. The green tangy sauce that came along with it was my favorite. Next time I will ask for two more of those..

It was excellent food. Like back home. Spices were perfect. Not to hot. Recommend to everyone visiting Seattle. We had lamb curry, spinach mix.

Had their Pakistani black-eyed pea dish and it was fantastic. It was the daily vegetable special and a generous portion with great flavor!

I worked in Downtown Seattle for many years, and had lunch at Cafe Zum Zum going back to the mid-1990's, I think. My favorite meal is the Mixed Vegetable Curry, which comes with rice. Even though I'm now retired, I recently stopped by at Cafe Zum Zum's "new" location Downtown in Century Square and had a great lunch. It was so nice the owner remembered me after an absence of several years (due to my retirement). You won't get that kind of service at a chain restaurant.Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian dishes.
