Decent but watery curry
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. On the positive side, the portions were big for the price, and the inside area was quiet, which was nice given it's located within a larger food court. However, the chicken spinach curry was very watery and salty. The accompanying item resembled a tortilla more than naan. Overall, it's a decent option in a pinch, but the quality wasn't outstanding.

Delicious Halal Food & Courteous Owner
During a trip to Seattle, we had lunch on a Monday. The food was delicious, fresh, and warm. The atmosphere was nice and clean. It's a great option for those looking for Halal yummy food! The owner was extremely courteous as well.

Great Vegetarian Options, But Oily Curries
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. I found they have great vegetarian options, which is a definite plus. However, the main downside was that the curries were EXTREMELY OILY. I was surprised that this hadn't been raised as a concern before. I've been eating here occasionally for the past two years and even informed a staff member about the oiliness, but they seemed least bothered. I witnessed a staffer pouring a jug of oil into the curries, seemingly to make them shine.

Yummy Curry and Friendly Staff!
My experience at this restaurant was very positive. I ordered the green pea lamb and spinach chicken, both of which were yummy and tasty. The rice was also good. If you're looking for something warm and quick, this is definitely the place to come. Additionally, the staff were friendly!

Kind Staff and Tasty Vegan Options
My experience at Cafe Zum Zum was wonderful, primarily due to their tasty and plentiful vegan options. What truly sets them apart, however, is their kind staff. George and Raphael, in particular, are incredibly sweet. I always look forward to our conversations during my visits, which are frequent as I work downtown. They consistently greet me warmly, remember my order, and genuinely make my day better. The combination of kindness and tasty food is truly the best.

Great Portions, Price, and Flavor!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The portions were great, and the price was excellent. The food was deliciously seasoned, and I really appreciated the cafeteria style which made it quick to order for lunches away from the office. This place has become a weekly staple for me!
