Zari Indian Cuisine — Restaurant in Wales

Impromptu called in with a work mate on a Saturday, both tired and needing food. Restaurant was empty except for another couple, restaurant looks ok, no wow factor, but we didn't care at this point we were just hungry. Sat down and someone brought our menu very quickly and explained if we wanted a beer, that we needed to go to the shop close buy and purchase our own, again, no issue doing that, thankfully it wasn't raining. Food started to arrive after a short time (poppadom etc) and actually wasnt bad, I enjoyed it (chicken tikka), this is obviously a place that survives on supplying takeaways more than sit down meals. But, for what we needed it was fine, enjoyed my food, but needs that something more to make me go back...

Ingredients are all frozen from a packet, the waiter was in a state, with the 3 people they had in, we ordered drinks, they don't serve alcohol! which isn't an issue but they don't cater for people who aren't willing to take ten minutes out of your evening to walk to the nearest off-licence - as we found out by ordering two drinks neither which was lemonade which he brought over and was both so flat it reminded me of sugar water.

Enjoyed the food here.

The chilli chicken for starters was nice and flavourful. The chicken was cooked nice and tender.

And lots of sides on complement, especially a sweet yogurt with herbs I guess. Loved it.

Overall. Great place for food. Ambience is ok,...
