History
Our Origins
Zaza Turkish Cuisine was born in Toms River from the dream of a man who longed to share the rich flavors of his culture. Despite facing many difficult challenges along the way, he never gave up on his vision: to bring a new culinary experience to the city for the delight of his community.
Guided by family recipes passed down through generations, every dish at Zaza is prepared with passion, fresh ingredients, and authentic Turkish techniques that capture the essence of our heritage. From sizzling kebabs to sweet baklava, each plate tells a story of tradition, resilience, and love for food.
Zaza is more than a restaurant it is a celebration of Turkish hospitality, a place where culture and community come together at the table. Born from determination and a dream, Zaza has arrived to stay.
