Zulaika Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Stockport

We have a groupon voucher gifted to us.

Booked and went. Staff nice, friendly.

We were given a laminated A4 menu.

It said at the top Groupon menu.

Starters were in a paragraph e.g

Meat samosa, Sheek kebab, coma's between each item no description.

Mains Chicken or lamb tikka, chicken or lamb **, chicken or lamb passada,..... You get the jist. It was a paragraph of the items with coma's no explanation of what may or may not be in each dish.

Sides same layout.

The voucher was meal for two, starter ,main and a side with a drink

We ordered

Samosa starter Sheek kabab starter The sheek kebab starter was fantastic.

2 pints cobras to go with it. We were aware only halves included with the offer... It a problem.

Not living in Stockport but 30-40 min away I thought this definitely seems worth the journey at thiswould come again.

Mains we order one each I ordered chicken tikka passada with rice and chapati.

Other person has main with chips

I was.disapointed.with this course the chicken seemed to have been cooked on a skewermmmmmm?eer,.not marinated with a sauce on.

However the limited information on the menu did not claim it to be a curry.

The other was the same.

The chicken was not succulent I would have expected but a little tough.

The chappatti ... Which I live was firm.and hard... Not like the light sort chappatti I was expecting.. was like one made some time.before. therefore I didn't eat it.

It's a shame they didn't include in the 'groupon' menu details on the ingredients, type of what I can only describe as a sauce. Some may order not knowing what is in it... such as coconut.

They should present the 'groupon' menu' along side the main menu which they had on the side in a padded folder style.

Our group on voucher see pics.said the value of £44. 20. i lolI would never have paid that for the quality of food we received. I will not be going back ' just in case '.

After we had had starters I had.said ,, that was the best Sheek kebab .. mains let it down badly. After the main. ..there didn't seem options for desert ,. coffee.etc... Giving the full menu word.have given a better indication of this.

So we had 2 starter 2 main 2 side 1 chapatti and a drink each

For £44.20 discounted to £22 It should be 2 starter 2 main 1 side Small wine or half larger etc

We paid about £8.70 on top of the voucher which I don't mind doing. Would it have been worth it £44.20(value of meal quoted on voucher)+ £8.70 extras=£52. 90.

Had it been a good main. I would have been happy to travel there. But given the main I wouldn't go 5 min. Given...

BEWARE OF GROUPON SCAM - POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE - TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT - MEDIOCRE FOOD - SMALL PORTIONS

Bought my partner a meal for two gift via Groupon as a Valentine’s Day treat for this local restaurant.

Could not book the venue via Groupon no matter what day or time I tried to reserve. I contacted the restaurant to explain the issue and to book a table over the phone. The member of staff advised that The restaurant was extremely busy but they would ‘squeeze’ us in for the day we was looking to visit.

Arrived on the day & time of the booking only to be told that they wouldn’t honour our booking or the voucher as we had not booked online. I explained the situation, and even offered to show the manager screen shots of proof that the Groupon booking system was not working!

After a long debate with the ‘unhelpful Manager’ We decided to stay and eat there anyway as we was hungry, wished we had not bothered.

Staff, especially the manager was unhelpful and rude. He did nothing to try and better our experience or In still any confidence to want us to return to their place and disappointingly No gesture or offer to apologise for the inconvenience we had experienced.

Food was ok, nothing special and portions were small.

Restaurant lied about being ‘extremely busy’ they had 3 small tables occupied when we arrived. They just wanted to limited the number of Groupon customer bookings.

So I certainly don’t recommend this place, Mister Ali’s not far from here is way better and a much...

As Indian restaurants go, I would say this one is around average. It's not the best, but it's OK. I have eaten at far worse places. However, they often have a 25% reduction offer(on food only), and as a result, it saves a few pounds. The staff are friendly, accommodating, and professional. The curries are always nice, but the sundries are sometimes a bit hit and miss. On one occasion, the poppadoms were stale whilst on another visit the keema naan didn't taste right. However, the onion bagees are always spot on. I would also recommend the vegetable fried rice. The drinks are around the standard price with a pint of cobra costing around £5, and a diet coke around £3.25. In all, given the special offers, I would recommend a visit. You can just walk in, but on the busier nights(fri-sun), it would be prudent to make a...
