First visit to ZapS Durham after good experiences at the Newcastle branch. Nice set up with the service area on the first floor. Get a window seat and you’re in business. I had a burrito absolutely ram packed with lime rice, spicy beans, sweet potato chilli, guacamole and hot chilli sauce. A revolutionary good experience.

Ordering online was quite complicated, and it was challenging to determine what items were vegan. I found myself keeping three tabs open: Zap’s website, Just Eat, and Deliveroo to compare and make sure my order was vegan-friendly. The burrito I picked was decent, but nothing remarkable—maybe I just made a poor choice. However, the chips were delightful!

The sweet potato vegan option is fantastic, and there are plenty of vegan add-ons available. I especially appreciate the super spicy choices. The guacamole is also vegan. You really can't go wrong with a loaded spicy burrito!

This restaurant is a classic Chipotle-style burrito spot, featuring a delicious sweet potato filling that is vegan.
