We also prefer corner spaces with great visibility. If your location has the following features, please visit our Contact Us section and send us more information. Thank you.

• What are Zankou's hidden menu items?

  The following are some of our menu items not listed on the menu board or paper menu. Many regular customers are already aware of these items. Some are special items and some are customizations.

   

  1) "Fele 3"

  This is a falafel wrap made with 3 pieces of crunchy falafel patties instead of the regular 2 pieces.

   

  2) "Combo Plate"

  This plate consists of both chicken Tarna and steak shawerma. As best of both worlds, it comes with everything: lettuce, onions, tomatoes, pickled turnips, hummus, tahini, pita bread, and our world-famous garlic sauce.

   

  3) "One Side"

  This option makes any wrap with only one side of the pita bread. If you are counting calories or simply cutting back on the bread, you may want to use this option toward any wrap.

   

  4) "Double Bread"

  Any of our sandwiches wrapped in two pieces of pita bread instead of one.

   

  5) "All White"

  The ½ chicken plate made using only all-white meat (2 breasts and 2 wings).

   

  6) "All Dark"

  The ½ chicken plate made using only all-dark meat (2 legs and 2 thighs).

   

  7) Kabob Skewers

  Any of our kabob may be ordered as a one-skewer "a la carte". This may be added to a kebab plate or simply be ordered alone.

   

  8) "Only Meat"

  Any of our wraps but with nothing else but the meat inside placed in a container.

   

  9) "Meat in Foil"

  If you will be traveling for a while and want to keep the meat warm for a longer period of time or simply don't want the meat touching your vegetables, we will wrap the meat in your plate in foil for you.

• Where does the name "Zankou" come from?

  'Zankou' is the name of a beautiful river in Armenia.

• What is in your Tarna and Shawerma?

  We carefully prepare all of our marinated meats with natural herbs and spices and marinate for at least 24 hours. Tarna is marinated chicken and Shawerma is marinated USDA Choice steak. Please see our Menu to learn more.

• What is the difference between the roasted chicken and the chicken Tarna?

  The roasted chicken wraps are made from our whole rotisserie chickens. The chicken Tarna is our trademark marinated chicken that sits on a spit and turns, similar to our steak shawerma. Tarna is a registered trademark of Zankou Chicken, Inc. In Armenian it means "To turn".
