Zauq Buffet — Restaurant in Birmingham

Very nice decor with the center pice in the ceiling and also the smaller booths on the sides. Seating upstairs is okay as is main area downstairs. Had someone in wheel chair with us and there was no loft to get them upstairs so are group of 13 we're disjointed and spread between upstairs and downstairs. We did eventually get to sit together downstairs when we got to desserts. It was very congested at times. Service was lack lustre as you would find your self waiting to be noticed so you could ask someone to serve you some of the specialty dishes or you were competing with another diner to get the last few chops being served or competing to be heard. Should be like this. Also found dishes that were not complete for example there was chickenless chicken biriyani or lamb dishes with very little lamb and predominantly large amounts of fat,bone and bouncy gristle. I get you need this for flavour but when you bowl if full.of this and it becomes the main component of what your eating then this is off-putting and very unpleasant. Shame because were the meat was present in some of the dishes then it was very tender and well cooked. Desserts were okay again nothing great. Need to enhance flavours on your rasmalai and kheer with some nuts or saffron or something. Mithai was not that great. Gulab jamuns again missing something like a hit of cardamon. Drinks were okay but had to wait a very long time to get a glass. Waiters were few and were either not bothered or tired and over worked and I think it is the later. We did arrive at around 20.00. I didnt get to try every single thing and stayed away from everyday food like pizza,nuggets chips which is what kids and non adventurous people will tend to gravitate towards. Sauces Station a great idea but lacked in flavour or distinction. Plates need to be bigger in my opinion given its a buffet restaraunt and your given a starter plate. Overall flavours were okay but nothing stood out or was wow. Unfortunately another buffet place that falls into the trap of jack of all trades and master of none. There was some dishes that were okay. There was a noodle station but noodles looked over cooked to me. Only noticed athe one chinese dish which was chicken in black bean and actually it was pretty good. I have a feeling the first services of the day may be better when staff energy levels and attentiveness is more fresh and on point and dishes are just prepared and stocked. I think this place struggles when busy as would any other restaurant of this size and its ambitious menu but this is the true test if any well established restarunt. I would definitely consider coming again to try dishes that I missed and to also see how the experience is when it's not so busy but I am in...

I had come over to eat at Zauq this evening. I was literally here 3 and a half hours ago. I have eaten at Zauq a lot of times before. I'm from Leicester. I have visited Birmingham loads of times. I also love star city. This is the best restaurant you could ever find in Birmingham. Star City is my favourite place.

I have no words to fault this restaurant in any way. The food is delicious and mouthwatering. The staff and service are very friendly and up to the standard. I only like to eat at Zauq whenever I visit Birmingham and star city. This is the only restaurant where you will find satisfaction from in Birmingham.

Zauq has multiple variety of foods. You have a lot of everything. There are curries, rice, Biryani, etc. There is also food for kids like Pizza, Chips, and Nuggets. Zauq has a very fantastic and happy atmosphere. The food is up to the standard. There is always amazing and melodious music playing in the background. You can eat as much as you like.

Zauq's buffet can never be beaten. I wish there were a Zauq in Leicester. I actually like Birmingham more than Leicester. I would recommend any of you to come over sometime to eat at Zauq. You won't regret it. I'm a massive foodie and a food critic. I would never recommend an eating out place if it were not good or up to the standard. Trust me. You will not feel let down or disappointed.

If you have not been or came over at Zauq before. Then I suggest you should come over and eat here now. If you're a massive foodie and you love coming to Birmingham. Then this is the restaurant for you. It's expensive. But Zauq is worth the money. Your money will never get wasted at...
