Zouk Tea Bar & Grill, Exclusive Hire

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.
