13645/49 S Inglewood Ave, Hawthorne, CA 90250
The food here is absolutely delicious. Its a family owned restaurant I believe. Al Watan is next door bit the food there is catered more to the American pallete.
Customer service isn’t the best but I treat it more as a grab and go restaurant than a sit down type. The owners also struggle a little bit with English.
10/10 reccomend for the bomb food
We used to come to this restaurant occasionally and always thought it was pretty good. This Sunday, we came back and ordered the lamb stew rice. The staff mentioned its usually only available on Fridays, so we were excited that it was being served today. At first, we were happybut after bringing it home, we realized the rice had a strong fridge smell, and the lamb was nowhere to be found, just tiny bits of bones. The meat was also dry and tough. After this experience, we know we wont be coming back again.
One of the best 7alal resturants in LA, if not the best..tried lunch special cooked to perfection the authentic way.
Host & waiter were unwelcoming and very slow. Waiter didnt give me water even after I asked twice.
They took 15 mins to serve me just 2 chais.
Best food ever, please come and try it so good bread kabob and the chicken tendoori so yummy
Zam Zam was my go to takeout spot when I lived in Hawthorne. Its what I miss the most about the South Bay! Incredible food served by incredible people. I still come back for Biryani whenever I am in the area. Truly one of Los Angeles underrated gems!
Best Pakistani food in LA and the service is also great . Highly recommended
Staff is very nice. And I commend owner for her hard work and efforts to open the business next to a long time established facility. But She needs to keep her Red chilies away from her Chef. Food is not eatable due to unacceptable/ dangerous amount of red chilies in the chicken Karai dish. In the chicken Biryani and in almost everything Chef cooks. naans were great. I ordered to go and whole thing is going in TRASH. Will try not to return even though I badly would like to support the business.
My first visit here was disappointing . It seemed like the owners kids were running the place, and the customer service was lacking. No one came to take our order we had to go up to the counter ourselves, while staff stood around chatting or on their phones even for the water i asked 3 times took them 20min to bring water. It was frustrating and unprofessional. This had happened 2 times i came here but got fed up when I brought my friend.
Its honestly no surprise that the restaurant next door, Al Watan Halal Tandoori, is always packed. Even if their food isnt good at all but, their customer service makes up for it something this place could really learn from.
I went back today just to pick up food (I didnt want to dine in again because of my past experience), I had a short talk with the owner she is soo nice , the mother she mentioned they had been verified, possibly referring to my review. I told her that my feedback wasnt meant to damage their business, only to help improve it. She seemed to understand, so I let her know Id take the review down as long as the message was heard.
I do hope they take it seriously. The food is the BESTT , but without proper customer service whether its better training or hiring staff who care itll be hard to earn peoples loyalty. I want to support small, local restaurants, but respect and hospitality go a long way, and again, it’s the best food you can have in this area actually outstanding!!
