Married couple Fozia and Fahim Siddiqui run Zam Zam Market, a popular Pakistani food market in Los Angeles. This family business, comprised of Fozia, Fahim, and their son Talha, serves curries, kabobs, barbecue, biriyani, and more authentic Pakistani fair that you can-t really find anywhere else. The Siddiquis explain how they made their way to Los Angeles in search of a better life, how Fozia and Fahim-s love for one another is the special ingredient behind their market-s success, and how the food at Zam Zam-s pays tribute to their own family-s history

Such a wonderful story and people are such bullies at heart that instead of commenting on the essence of the story that is of a hard-working family settling down in a foreign land cooking traditional food and thus keeping their culture alive as well as making an honest living all they can do is making fun of someone's voice and asking if he's gay. What does it matter and how in God's name is it your business? Just visit the place if you're curious about the food and that should be the only thing that matters! They seem like genuine and hard-working people, with a total boss of a mother (respect, a gentle father and a sweet kid. Just respect them as they are instead of making inane comments. Words hurt you know, and before they get out of your mouth, you should know you can also be made fun of for a lot of things. None of us are perfect. But only very few of us can boast of finding our calling and staying true to it and have as much pride and satisfaction in our respective jobs as these people.

Not gonna lie lived abroad for more than a decade and i love all cuisines of all cultures but I being a Pakistani just eat Pakistani cuisine on a daily basis. While bodybuilding Pakistani cuisine is very protein-rich diet so i don't have to go out and get my fats from avocado. The oil/ghee in the biryani gives me all the carbs and fats lol. It's all about proportions and measuring out everything and I am seeing gains. In the long run it's better to eat something you are familiar with then trying to fit your diet into cuisines of other places as it won't last. Meaning other places will have other foods they eat to balance out the fats percentage which you who isn't familiar with the cuisine won't eat and it can lead to an unhealthy diet overall.

The food and everything looks really delicious and inspiring. And the parents are very nice indeed. This is for the son. Don-t listen to all these people who comment on you because they are all insecure about themselves so they barge on your life so they can feel inferior. You live your life like you want it to be and enjoy it! Please don-t listen to all these jobless online bullies who can-t just accept people for who they are! And love for yourself for you and not for any trolls who live in their mother-s basement!

I went to high school with Talha back in 2016. Some of these comments are shockingly rude and so judgemental just because of his voice. The vast majority of y'all here don't even know him. Talha is one of the sweetest, funniest, smartest, hard working, and humble people I've met in my life! Please be kinder to one another

So all of you judgmental people with sticks up their a-- are going to be super supportive of pride march and gay culture but still can't stop being decent humans. -Listen up, he is a nice guy, helping out his parents and very articulate, says more about him than most of you judgmental pricks. SMH

this is a typical Urdu speaking/muhajir family from Karachi! I guess they like many other Pakistanis came over to the USA to find a better future for themselves. -They apparently make delicious biryani and bar b cue. -Wow, it is just like eating at a KHI roadside restaurant. -Best of luck!

Great that their son is well aware with the struggle and hard work his parents went through to establish their business. He will be great at taking the business forward since he seems to share the same enthusiasm for great food combined with the hard working nature.

The lady runs the show. Its refreshing seeing a Pakistani lady so independent and confident. The son's got his mother's personality. The dad is a helper and a gentle soul. That phone in her hands haha, the interview can continue but business ain't stopping.
