Zam Zam Market
Mango Lassi
Butter Naan
Chandad Kabab
Lamb Korma
Migrated from adjacent King Fahad Mosque in Culver City to a nondescript strip mall in Hawthorne Zam Zam Market continues to draw crowds for Pakistani Food prepared fresh by a wife and husband kitchen.
Little more than a convenience store at first look, the menu laminated on a wall and service hardly acknowledging guests’ arrivals, it is after brief indecision that choices are made with the bill paid immediately and wait times dependent on robust take-out business.
Stripped-down being generous, the market dusty and tables’ best years passed, it was while sipping room temperature water from a cooler that twenty minutes passed in silence before a sizable plate of Chandad Kabab arrived to ignite the palate with a juicy blend of Meats brightened by Green Chiles.
Barely quelling the fire with a generous Mango Lassi, though a squeeze bottle of Raita helped, course two consisted of Bone-In Lamb Korma better than any tasted elsewhere, fatty Meat gone first followed by every drop of Sauce sopped up with Naan.
