ZamZam in Göttingen

Great food, I can only recommend it. A very friendly employee gave information about the dishes while serving. We'd love to come back 👍

A cozy restaurant that you can almost miss! The owner himself served us and told us a bit about the restaurant and the origin of the dishes; We were the only guests that evening and really enjoyed the quiet atmosphere :) the homemade hummus is a MUST!

I think this is like the hidden gem of restaurants in Göttingen ! It looks like nothing on the outside, actually shared with the Smashburger restaurant, so you are unlikely to walk in by chance. The restaurant was very quiet tonight while on the city center main streets every other place was full... But the food was simply delicious, so yummy, and it felt like a little oasis!

Very very tasty! Very nice service and pleasant atmosphere. I'd love to come back!

Highly recommended. I spent a very nice evening there!

The positive first: friendly service, probably the boss. However, we were (intentionally!) brought a large appetizer platter even though only one of us had ordered a small appetizer. We were forced to share it between three of us. My main course (Achita) consisted of undercooked potatoes and vegetables in larger pieces, plus injera, which didn't seem very authentic to me. The taste was okay, the rice was very tasty. A total drawback: the selection of drinks. There are no alcoholic drinks at all and only a limited selection of alternatives. The non-alcoholic Hefeweizen was at room temperature and was brought with a glass that was too small. The atmosphere is actually quite homely, if it weren't for Lieferando employees in full gear and their huge bags coming and going or hanging around the restaurant all the time. For me the place is over.

5/5 Have eaten or ordered here many times. Authentic cuisine

Super tasty and cheap, would love to come back :)

Really delicious food with friendly service in an attractive atmosphere! In terms of price it's not a bargain, but it's still within reasonable limits. The only point of criticism that could be made is that parts of the court were legitimately charred; There is potential for optimization here. All in all, absolutely recommended!

It was a beautiful day today, we wanted to go out to eat before the DFB Cup final, we didn't know ZamZam yet. Since we entered the restaurant right at opening time, we were the first guests. So we were able to enjoy the full attention of the nice host and his cooking, lovely wife. The menu is pleasantly clear, but thanks to the many side dishes you can put together a variety of different dishes individually. We started with the appetizer platter, which contained a large number of delicacies that would be beyond our scope to list. What should definitely be highlighted are the juicy, light and crispy falafel, which we have never had the pleasure of experiencing in such quality. Not to mention, of course, the baked dumplings filled with a lentil paste, the many pastes, cream cheese mixtures, pickled vegetables and olives. For the main course we chose a kebab, which was very plentiful, and three side dishes to choose from were included, so that we were able to turn two essentially the same dishes into two completely different ones. Here too we couldn't help but be amazed, we were so impressed by the aromas we were able to enjoy. What should not be forgotten is that we were greeted with a greeting from the kitchen in the form of a pureed lentil soup, which, with its spices, opened the door to the world of Arabian tastes. One more thing: We are convinced meat eaters, but today we actually had to admit that giving up meat would not have reduced our enjoyment in any way. If you now consider that the prices are quite moderate (we paid well under 50.00 euros for the large starter platter, two main courses and two drinks each) you can only do this to anyone who is interested in more than just pizza, pasta, Gyros and kebabs I highly recommend heading to Papendiek. Oh yes, the memory of this meal also made the outcome of the cup final easier to bear. ZamZam is very, very high on our restaurant list. So, some time has now passed and we had another meal at ZamZam, but, to put it bluntly, it was more than disappointing. The delicious starter plate had shrunk to a collection of carelessly slapped pastes and the main course was clearly burnt. I don't know whether it was because someone canceled or simply lost interest in the good cuisine, but I'll give this restaurant the chance to revise my verdict at some point. It's a shame, we were so excited on our first visit... First visit May 21, 2022, second visit December 5, 2023.

The best grilled chicken in Göttingen! Wow 🤤🤤

Unfortunately, there was a long wait and far too cold. The food was delicious, but everything else was hard to get used to

Sehr lecker und super freundlich

Food taste good but waiting time is tooo long.

The food tastes delicious, worth the money. The only downside is, it takes quite some time to get the food. Except that, the food is amazing!

This restaurant offers a fantastic dining experience! The food is delicious, and the service is top-notch. I highly recommend it for a memorable meal.

Super lecker und toller Gastgeber.

Sehr sehr gutes Essen, freundliche sowie familiäre Bedienung und nettes Ambiente. Das gegrillte Hähnchen ist top, kann ich sehr empfehlen! Ein bisschen Wartezeit, aber die haben wir mit netten Gesprächen überbrückt. Ein Besuch lohnt sich auf alle Fälle!!!

Wer ein normales Restaurant erwartet liegt hier falsch. Man wird sehr nett bedient und es wirkt alles sehr familiär. Man darf sich nicht davon abschrecken lassen, dass vielleicht wenig los ist oder es keine echten, ausgebildeten Kellner oder Kellnerinnen gibt. Der Service ist sehr nett und das Essen unfassbar lecker. Immer wieder gerne. Vor allem die Preisleitung ist sehr gut. Würzige Brote und eine Suppe als Vorspeise gab es gleich einmal aufs Haus!

One of the few places in Göttingen that offers halal food. Visited this place a couple of times. Loved the food every time. Also prices are very reasonable. Service is not very good since there is only one person doing everything.

Mycket god mat, alla i mitt sällskap var mer än nöjda med maten! Otroligt god kyckling och ris. Mycket vänlig personal! Lite för lång väntetid.

A beautiful restaurant for eating oriental dishes, the service is nice, the place is quiet and clean, they have a baby chair, we ordered kebab, grilled chicken and fattoush and they were all very tasty, and the rice was cooked perfectly .. I recommend calling and ordering before coming if you are going to order a meal of meat or chicken, so that you wan't have to wait for your request for too long...

Absolut empfehlenswert!! Bringt bisschen Zeit mit aber dafür ist der Geschmack umso besser!

Super freundliche Menschen und ebenso leckeres Essen! Wenn ich wieder in Göttingen bin, werde ich hier mit Sicherheit wieder einkehren.

Geiler Laden. Würden wir in Göttingen wohnen, wäre das definitiv ein regelmäßiges Ziel! Super nett geführt und vor allem das Mandi war sehr lecker und vor allem frisch zubereitet! Fast ein wenig zu günstig...Ich würde auch mehr bezahlen Danke :)

食物新鲜，味道非常赞！份量很足，店家也非常友好，价格实惠性价比非常高，第一次去带来了惊喜，非常推荐！

Sehr leckeres und hochwertiges Essen zu einem fairen Preis. Das Essen wird ganz offensichtlich frisch im Haus (keine Convenience) zubereitet. Service ist steht’s freundlich. Man muss etwas Wartezeit einberechnen aber es lohnt sich! Für die Muslime: man hat dort sogar die Möglichkeit sein Gebet zu verrichten. Und auf Anfrage werden Reste nicht weggeworfen, sondern selbstverständlich mitgegeben. Wirklich immer wieder ein Besuch wert!

Die besten Falafel die ich je gegessen habe. Sehr herzlicher Umgang. Orientalische Gerichte toll umgesetzt. Sehr zu empfehlen!!

Sensationell gute Qualität orientalischer Küche zu wirklich günstigen Preisen! Der Service könnte sympathischer nicht sein und der Chef ist bereit und gewillt einem auch die eritreische Küche und Kultur näher zu bringen.

ماشاءالله مطعم عربي لذيذ اكله وعند الدكتور عمر والاكل حلال

Ein Lokal zum Genießen! Wirklich eine Kunst für sich, besonders der Vorspeisenteller, die Falaffel und das (vegane) Moussaka sind sehr zu empfehlen! Für ein Buffet für kleine und größere Feiern lassen sich die beiden Inhaber auch noch weitere zb vegane/ vegetarische leckere Speisen einfallen.

Lugar adorável. O anfitrião muito simpático e atencioso. A comida estava maravilhosa.

85 minut oczekiwania na dania główne w tym surowym pomieszczeniu, bez żadnego gestu ze strony obsługi to zdecydowanie za długo, choć... dania są tego warte (pyszne!).

The food is indescribably delicious, and the details are cooked with love. I recommend the grills and "Zamzam Teller".

Authentisches orientalisches essen zu fairen Preis :) Sehr freundlich und aufmerksam

Wir waren mehrmals dort und wurden jedes Mal aufs Neue begeistert. Das Essen ist außergewöhnlich lecker und das Personal durchweg freundlich. Das Ambiente ist super gemütlich. Immer wieder gerne!

Amazing food, best service I've seen in a long time! Friendly owners who will take care of you and meet your expectations!

Sehr sehr Lecker! Man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Meine Nr1 in Göttingen

Seeehr lecker!! Sehr nettes Personal, das Essen einfach top!
