About Zaky Zak's
Bringing Authentic Middle-Eastern Cuisine to Tampa
"Zaky" means delicious in Arabic, and we live up to that promise every single day.
Since June 2022, we’ve been on a mission to show Tampa what real shawarma tastes like. Not the fast-food version, not the shortcuts – the authentic way, with hand-stacked meats on rotating spits, imported spice blends, and house-made everything.
Located near USF in Tampa, we’ve become the go-to spot for students, families, and anyone craving authentic Middle Eastern food made the right way.
Open Kitchen
Concept
Watch shawarmas slowly spin over open flames, falafel hand-crafted and fried fresh, and your order built with gloved hands using crisp veggies and creamy house-made hummus.
USDA Choice
Halal Meats
Premium USDA Choice halal beef and chicken, hand-stacked on vertical spits and slow-roasted over open flames until perfectly charred and juicy. It's the difference you can taste.
Imported Spice
Blends
Traditional spice blends sourced directly from the Middle East – not generic seasonings, but authentic flavors that transport you with every bite.
