From Palestine to Columbus.
Built Around the Table.
Ahmed’s journey brought his roots in Palestine to a growing Mediterranean food business in Central Ohio. Through food, persistence and personal hospitality, he built Zaki one customer at a time.
The First Food Truck
A humble start: Ahmed brought Zaki’s Mediterranean food to people across Central Ohio, one stop and one meal at a time.
The Second Truck
As more people discovered Zaki, a second truck helped bring those flavors to more neighborhoods and gatherings.
The Third Truck
A growing team on the road gave Zaki more ways to serve the Columbus community.
Budd Dairy Food Hall
Zaki grew from a mobile food business into a place customers could visit at Budd Dairy Food Hall.
Worthington
Zaki’s next permanent location brought the same Mediterranean hospitality to Worthington.
From a Food Truck to a Growing Columbus Favorite
Ahmed’s journey continues as Zaki shares fresh Mediterranean food and personal hospitality with more people across Central Ohio.
