Zouk Teabar & Grill in Manchester

Hmmm... i think zouk has had it's day, in terms of the food service.(Promise the review is worth its length)I visited with family a couple of months ago on a Sunday for the Sunday Roast. The place was packed, and after ordering the Roast, i could see no justification for the demand 🤔 and table traffic. (Pics are lost somewhere in my gallery of food images)The Okra fries were surprisingly pleasant, but that was definitely it.I visited with a friend today.Ordered a mixed grill, salmon, and chicken biryani.The Salmon disappointingly is served without anything, anything at all. Considering the price... i would say at least a salad is warranted, at the very minimum.I struggled to find pieces of chicken in the biryani, (my calories mean alot to me, and i wanted to make my meal count) and what i did find was missing flavour and tasted gamey 🤢. Nice portion size though.The mixed grill was mehh... do not order, not worth it.The only item on the menu that did not disappoint was the orange juice! 😁always comes through.. 👊Btw, ordered mocktails last time, expecting a frozen puree (strawberry daiquiri- i have had enough in life to know what to expect) what appeared by my elbow was a glass of watery 🍓cordial, that was overspilling on the table and making a mess...I mean honestly, if my friend who is an out of towner hadn't insisted, i really wouldn't have gone there.I feel so sad 😭 that i wasted my time and calories here.My question is.... why do people still dine here?Oh. And they implement a service charge..

This is an exquisite dine in restaurant.They serve amazing and tasty Indian & Pakistani Halal food. It was my first time ever to eat Indian or Pakistani food but it was extremely delicious.The restaurant design is amazing, the staff is friendly.What I did like most is that the owner of restaurant himself checks with guests how was the food, place, and also friendly and welcoming to the guests.Definitely I will visit the restaurant again to try more main courses.

Family of 5 visited here this evening!Booked onlineOrdered mojitosSmall glasses but drink v niceFood was lovelyOrdered poppadoms starters mains and dessertsSamosas chaat was bit smallKarhais were smaller than standard restaurants tooBit over pricedWorked out 200 for 5 of usService was lovelyVery good start to new year!Didnt rush youWere there for good 3 hours!

Awful service and the food was also really awful. I was honestly so embarrassed that I had chosen to celebrate my birthday there, my guests just looked like they couldn’t wait to pay and leave as it was just terrible, slow and inattentive service and the food tasted just so horrible. Completely overpriced.Zouk has been around for some time. Back in the day it used to be decent. It’s really gone down hill. So incredibly disappointing.I and my guests definitely won’t be returning. I would advise you not to waste your time or money. There are much better restaurants in Manchester and Zouk really doesn’t cut it in terms of quality anymore.

Good service. Enjoyed the Wagyu Sliders. jalfrezi. However the Lamb Shawarma was really greasy.

The place looks really nice, the staff very friendly however the food wasnt anything to shout about, decent food not worth the price tags thats for sure. Its highly rated but the food is just average they could do so much better, bit dissapointed by the whole experience tbh.

After reading all of the reviews I was skeptical but decided to give it a go. The ambience was loud and cafe like. The tables were packed together like a school canteen.After ordering the roast platter I was pleased to find the food was very tasty and service was quick. The problem was the platter £100 was hugely overpriced for the amount of food you got. Bear in mind you can get a chicken for £3 there was a measley amount of roasties and enough veg for 1 person. Was supposed to feed 4 people. Total rip off. Dont waste your money

Calamari was rubbery, tandoori prawns were nice. Then we asked for a meat dish on the bone. They mentioned only the lamb sultani was on the bone. We assumed that at £12 it'd be enough for 2. Well, it wasn't even enough for one and bland. My vodka cocktail at £8 was fizzy water with a slice of lime. Decided to leave and decide what to order on ubereats while having shisha. Overheard the lady next to me asking the staff if her drink was sparkling water and that she ordered a cocktail. Staff were amazing though

Honest review:The place looked decent but im afraid it is very over hyped.The mixed grill was decent but sadly the rest not so much. Ordered the curry as extra hot but all came as bland. One even tasted sweet. It was like 2 in one. A curry and a dessert in one dish. The only thing with passion there was the fruit. Even the mocktail was shockingly sour. Felt like i just had an operation on my throat after having it.😬Also ordered a cake for 23rd bday but by the time it would have come, it would have been the 25th bday so had to cancel..Really over-rated and a let down.😐😔

I loved the customer service. All the staff were so friendly. We didn’t have to wait long for the food. The food was good but not amazing
