Meilleurs plats indiens Manchester

Sur le plan culinaire, le "Zouk Tea Bar & Grill" représente une interprétation créative de la cuisine du sous-continent indien, avec un accent sur des ingrédients frais et des épices intenses. Un plat phare est le "Butter Chicken", un plat crémeux avec du poulet tendre dans une riche sauce tomate-beurre, apprécié pour son goût équilibré et souvent servi avec du naan chaud. Tout aussi populaire est le "Lamb Nihari Calzone", une fusion innovante d'agneau mijoté et d'une croûte croustillante, qui présente la traditionnelle Nihari d'une nouvelle manière. Les "Punjabi Lollipop", des ailes de poulet marinées avec une note épicée de grenade, offrent une entrée délicieuse qui souligne la diversité des saveurs. Pour le dessert, le "Mango Kulfi", une crème glacée maison rafraîchissante avec une note fruitée de mangue, constitue un contraste sucré avec les plats épicés principaux.

The worst buffet we have ever had in terms of price as well as quality and taste of the food. A total chaos at the time of Iftar. All the cheap dishes l offered in the name of Iftar Buffet. No comparison with My Nawab and even Al-maida etc. At least, you get a better environment and a far more variety of dishes with proper authentic taste. Strongly NOT RECOMMENDED.

Came here for Mother’s Day expected to be celebrated Sunday roast beef as tasteless hair was found wrapped around the chicken put me straight away my daughters beef was very bloody thought that was odd considering it was child’s meal. The service was shocking the girl couldn’t speak English well and struggled to understand what I was asking for. It was very stressful to order considering there was other outstanding places offering good hospitality for Mother’s Day and I picked zouks to receive this service. The atmosphere is amazing but the food quality and taste I would give it 2 star waste of money really. Don’t bother speaking to a manger because all you get is am sorry.

Avoid this place. Customer service is non existent. I booked for iftaar during the month of Ramadan but had to cancel unfortunately. I rang up more than 3 days before my booking to the restaurant and was told that I will be issued a refund. I continued to get emails and texts confirming my booking so I rang the restaurant again and they told me I am not eligible for a refund because they don’t give refunds on bookings. They have stolen my money so I would not recommend this place to anyone. The iftar buffet isn’t even all that it’s all just a hype. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere if you’re planning on going here

I got really disappointed for my Iftar, Drove nearly 2 hours to get there to get some nice food but got really really disappointed. Food quality was really awful , plain food, and even worse than that was the service they got some south Indian guys there they don't even speak proper English They give me the shitty service in my entire life. I will never go back here again.

Food quality was awful. 10 items in the iftar buffet and the price was 30£ plus Tax for one person. Should have gone somewhere else for this price. Not recommended

Avoid – Disappointing Ramadan Iftar Experience I attended the Ramadan Iftar buffet at Zouks for £30 per person, and it was an absolute waste of money. The experience was incredibly uncomfortable—our table was upstairs, and it was unbearably hot. I felt so sick and overheated that I could barely eat, which completely ruined the meal. The food itself was not as advertised. They claimed there would be "leg lamb raan," but it was just roasted chicken. Several desserts, like the banana cream cake, were missing, and others were not what was promised—the "Black Forest cake" was just plain chocolate cake with cream, and the chocolate mousse had an unexpected cherry compote in it. Service was equally disappointing. The server who seated us didn’t explain anything or ask if we had been before—we were left to figure things out ourselves. When I raised my concerns, the staff member behind the counter was completely unresponsive and seemed not to care at all. I was so overheated and nauseous that I just paid the bill as quickly as possible so I could leave and get fresh air. Overall, this was a stressful and unpleasant experience, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. It was not worth the price at £66 for two people, and I had been prior for a lunch with a friend and did not like my meal but thought to try again. I absolutely do not recommend after this experience.

Awful experience. Waited nearly 2 hours for luke warm, bland food. So overpriced! The curries didn't taste of anything, the cheesy garlic naan had no cheese or garlic, it was just dry bread! Central location means that people will pay it, but you just need to travel a short distance out of the city centre to get some AMAZING curries. Avoid this place!

Been going to Zouks for many years without issues and always rated the food, but my last visit I was very disappointed with the quality of the food Steak was returned twice over cooked and then cancelled, lamb shank a favourite found a hair bedded in the shank. S ervice was good, I think it was Lily upstairs was very nice,I couldn't blame her for the kitchen staff not knowing how to cook a steak or having a hair

Quality of food was not good, ordered the lamb chops, was over cooked and over seasoned?? If you are looking for a place who can deliver good quality meat cooked to perfection go next door to Etci mehmet steak house

Service is good and staff are helpful and friendly. £30 each for the Sunday platter so £120 for 4 plus drinks and desert. Total bill £185. Food was average at best. I would have preferred a good carvery for £17 each. I don't don't see the value for money here. We expected much better, the full chicken was quite dry, the spicy gravy just wasn't nice. The roadt potatoes looked frozen, they were OK, just not great. Everything should be well above average for the price and it just wasn't, unfortunately

Disappointing Buffet Experience. Not Worth the the 30£ I had one of the worst buffet experiences in Manchester at this place. For £30 pp, I expected a decent spread, but the menu was shockingly limited. There were only 3-4 mains—Lamb & Potato, Chicken, Daal, and a Carvery station with Lamb Raan that was mostly fat. The rice was unbearably crispy, and the naan tasted like a week-old baguette. Desserts were a complete joke—no ice cream or cakes, included in the price just mousses that were nothing more than whipped cream with jam and very rude staff on the dessert counter. Drinks? You get one tiny glass of Rooh Afza milk, and if you dare to ask for a refill, it’ll cost you an extra £6 per glass. Starters were somewhat decent, but for the price, they were underwhelming. They also also add 10% of your bill as a seevice charge for cramming all the food into one small corner, creating unnecessary long queues. Feels more like an intentional strategy to make people wait for mediocre food rather than enjoy a proper buffet experience (service charge is optional, so you will have to ask someone to get it removed from the bill). If you’ve been to places like Nawaab or Al Maidah, this will be a massive disappointment. Save your money and go elsewhere. Definitely NOT recommended.

Booked table. Arrived at correct time and was seated promptly. Waited 20 minutes for an order to be taken, nobody came, just left instead. I wouldn't waste your time here, service is clearly not a priority. Unfortunately I cannot speak for the food.

On a trip to Manchester many years ago I went to a fantastic Indian restaurant, today the restaurant rediscovered me, I just happened to be in the area and recalled the fantastic food I have then and was not disappointed this evening, the standout for me was the tarka dahl maybe the best one I've had in ages.. Modern and unfussy sort of place, great service from what appears to be a seamlessly joined up front of house team, the chefs aren't bad either 👍👍👍

Food was ok be vary service charge of 10 percent is added without being displayed or told. So don’t be a surprised if your bill is hiked

They gave us a table outside and it was never cleaned and the chairs were so dirty The food was not all that either Small portion on the starters Not worth the money
