" Zam Zam has decent dishes, but some of their items don’t capture the right flavor profile for authentic Pakistani cuisine. The service was fast, and I appreciated the hospitality of the staff, but the ambiance did feel a bit neglected. I’d recommend trying the samosas which were quite good, but I think there’s potential for improvement overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I had an average experience at Zam Zam. The food was satisfactory but didn't stand out. The service lagged a bit during peak hours although the staff was polite. The decor could definitely use some upgrade. I would recommend it solely for takeout where the food seems to do better than dine-in. Not bad, but not exceptional either. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food and reasonable prices are what I found at Zam Zam! The chapli kabab, in my opinion, is the star of the menu! I got takeout and was pleasantly surprised by the excellent care taken in packing the food. Everything arrived hot and fresh. While the dining space is unpretentious, it’s the food that wins you over. I’ll be ordering from here again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zam Zam was a revelation! I’ve always loved Pakistani cuisine, but this place took me to another level! The seasoning on their dishes is impeccable, especially the nihari which just melts in your mouth. The ambience is nice and rustic, providing a cozy feel to enjoy the hearty food. Highly recommend getting takeout for a genuinely delightful experience! Can’t wait for my next order. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Zam Zam! From the attentive service to the mouthwatering food—this is bar none the best place for Pakistani food in Boston. The lamb biryani is more than enough for two people! The flavors are distinct and bring back memories of my childhood. I also appreciated how passionate the staff are about their food. I'll definitely come back with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Zam Zam, but sadly it fell flat. The curries were too bland and the naan was a bit stale. Additionally, the service, while polite, was slow and disorganized. The decor felt outdated and uninviting. I might consider giving it another try, but honestly, I left feeling disappointed and unsatisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are searching for genuine Pakistani food, look no further than Zam Zam! The flavors in every dish remind me of my mother’s cooking. I especially loved the mutton karahi—it was spicy just how I like it! The ambiance is simple but warm, and the service is very personal. I love how they take their time to explain the dishes and make recommendations. Truly a hidden gem in the city! " (*Curated Review*)
