Zest Of India — Restaurant in England

Had ordered the food on Uber eats, called the restaurant as there was a delay in the food being delivered,but the person who picked up the phone said there was no order under my name...A few minutes later the food arrived and I called the restaurant to check if there was any order in the evening on Uber eats under my name again and she said no ,but sometimes the order doesn't pop up,I said there was a bill from the zest of India and she asked if all the items were there,and when I said yes she said it's probably from their shop.

The quality of food was horrible ,the shahi chicken was sweet,you can clearly see there was definitely added colour and sweetener in it rather than the almond/cashew paste... The naan was dry and hard... Same with the prawns,had so much artificial colouring to it...

Really wondered if it was a scam place that delivered the food or was it really from Zest of India as the reviews on Google was really good.. Had to leave the food and order from another place.... Only saving grace was the dhal...no Indian place can go wrong with Dhal

As you can tell you have replied without reading the message.

I called the restaurant and asked when my order would come as Uber had no tracking.

The receptionist said"there was no order in my name.I asked her to check previous orders and again she said there was nothing. Few minutes later food arrived.So I called the restaurant back to confirm it was from you. The lady again said there is no record of my order and if it has a bill from Zest of India then it's probably from them.

Yes I did complain regarding the quality of the food to Uber as it was pathetically sub standard,added artificial colouring and the chicken had definitely sugar in it ..I lived and grew up in India eating Indian food...

Why have you not responded to the quality of the food?

So you agree that the food was...

AVIOD THIS PLACE. ITS A MASSIVE RIP OFF. just been there just me and my 8 year old. We didn't look at the menu.as I knew what we were having. We ordered a chicken tikka curry. 2 chips. A side salad and 3 pomadoms. They asked did we want drinks. I said have you got ordinary Pepsi. NOT Pepsi max. Yes he said. So I verified with him again. I wanted full fat Pepsi. He said yes we have it in cans. When he brought my drinks over. I had a small glass already filled with Pepsi. Not big enough to fit a can in. I tasted it. And knew straight away it wasn't full fat Pepsi. Anyway when we finished our meals. I asked him could he add another 2 cans of Pepsi on to the bill for me to take away. Yes of course he said. Then comes over with 2 cans of Pepsi max. I told him I asked you was it ordinary Pepsi and you told me yes. Then I looked at the bill. After he took the first one to take the cans of pop off. And it was just under £35. So I called them over and said. My bill is wrong. It's saying £14.95 for a curry. They were like. Yes that's right. I said it can't be. £15 for one curry without anything with it. They said yes. 2 chips were £7. Then I said. It's still wrong. Which they told me. There's a service charge added on too!!! I couldn't believe it. I said I've never ever paid that much for a curry before. To which the woman told me. Didn't you check the menu prices first. And all they curry's are a set price and they always busy. Urm somehow I don't think so. Been ripped right off!!! Never going there again. And also the taxi driver couldn't believe it when I told him. He said they are never busy! .........

What can be said that’s not said once you have eaten at “Zest of India” (BLACKPOOL).

It has lived and surpassed all expectations that my wife and I could have had.

Me and my wife visited BLACKPOOL on the 27th MAY 2023 for a three day getaway and discovered this GEM of an Indian restaurant.

The Service is really friendly and efficient, moreover, I really would like to give a special thank you to our waiter on the day RIZ. His unique ability to enchant us with his warmth and allow us to feel welcome is very few and far i between. Through our observations he had every customer that we saw coming through the doors exactly as such, so very well done MATE!

The Food is simply of superb, the fresh quality and of generous portions which is of ultimate value for me as customer is refreshing. It was our first time here on the 27th but our whole three day trip to BLACKPOOL was spent going back to ZEST OF INDIA for three days in a row.

Me and my wife come from a south Asian background and from personal experience have tasted a variety of south Asian cuisine. And we both collectively have give this restaurant a five-star review. In simple terms The best Indian restaurant ever we have been to.

We can't recommend this place enough, from the food to the service, you'll struggle to find a better Indian restaurant that I have been to and could compare this to.

Do yourself a favour stop reading and if you’re up for good food go and give it a try and...
