Atmosphere scored low as we went early week so not busy. Service was good but whilst having a vape my glass was topped up and I didn't want anymore and couldn't pass it on for obvs reasons. Also didn't get all our order but were still charged for it. Partly our fault though should have checked. Really tasty food though. My friends had meat dishes which they said were succulent. Plenty of choice especially if you are GF.

Absolutely fantastic food and incredible staff. This has become our go-to curry house for a reason! Every visit is consistently delightful, and the warm, friendly atmosphere makes us feel right at home. The menu offers a wide variety of options, but the biryani is truly a standout dish. The rice is cooked to perfection—fluffy and fragrant, with just the right balance of spices. The flavors are rich and authentic, making it a memorable experience every time. Whether dining in or ordering takeout, the quality remains exceptional. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving a delicious, satisfying meal!

After reading positive reviews about this place I must say it did not disappoint. The food was out of this world and probably the best Indian food I've eaten out. The staff were incredibly nice and welcoming. If I had to pick a fault we had to wait a little bit for our drinks but it was a busy Saturday night and this wasn't a big enough fault to mark down a review. I will 100% come back again. Thank you for a lovely dinner.

Prawns large and well cooked, great flavours, and decent portion sizes on all meals. Friendly, quick and attentive service. As during the day, the atmosphere was not the same as would be in the evening with more people, but was still a nice environment to eat. Big thumbs up from us.

Friendly, & cheerfully admitted our (well behaved) dog too. Delicious Jalfrezis and 'proper' parathas (not like the ones they can't make in Birmingham which are really more like a chapati). And delicious Roar Beer, an Indian style lager beer brewed in Swansea - more flavour than Cobra or Kingfisher. 😁👌 - only 4 stars for atmosphere cos it was nearly empty when we dined - not their fault - folk are missing out on delicious food. I've ticked only the pappadum and paratha cos the Prawn Jalfrezi and Lamb Jalfrezi we had are not listed.

Went for the first time n terrible experience. I don't understand why the waiter was behaving so stupid and trying to make disrespectful jokes - "why did u eat so much? Why did u empty the entire plate, you should have left some food for me, I'd have eaten it" - and he thought that was funny! I gave him a disgusted look but he continued anyway. Who treats their customers like that! Don't you train your staff on how to talk to customers? I was already disappointed with the food, it wasn't like indian food, felt stale, something wasn't fresh, portion size too small. Not worth the money and time. Overall poor experience.

I came here for a work meal and it blew my mind. The customer service was out of this world and the food definitely matched. The butter chicken tasted better than I expected. I was hesitant at first to order, due to tasting it previously at another restaurant and being disappointed, this resulting in a sour opinion on butter chicken as a whole. Nonetheless, both the experience and the food has really made me enjoy and love Indian food and culture even more. I’m definitely going to be returning very soon, that I know for sure! Thank you!

Indian restaurant yes but the vibe wasn't right. Food portions were okay but too costly I feel. Waiting time is too long once the order is placed. I feel they're a bit understaffed. The music selection was not good at all. I would suggest you to play Indian classical instrumentals or something soothing. But I think in terms of authenticity, the food actually gives you a slight taste of Indian cuisine. We do eat less oily and non spicy food as well ( fired potatoes, daal, rice / khichdi etc. ).

Having paid the congestion charge and parking to come to zaza initially but no room we found around the corner This TIKKA FLAME Indian restaurant. There was 11 people only so hardly packed . So not busy. We Sat & Look at menus 15/ min go by no drink waiter back and forth the tables v slow. I went to loo and said ready to order, still didn't come over. 30 mins later my son had his beer ( I was told I had to wait for cocktails) ordered the offer two for £11 and told I had to have 2 the same... asked for a water in mean while no water, so sat without a drink over half hour! Almost 45 mins later food order taken. !! By time we finished the food we had been sat in there over 2 hours! This was my birthday meal. The other customers looked miserable not getting served quickly as just this one slow young man there in his own as we was finishing our food another member of staff came into work and the 2 girls that sat down much later than we arrived was served drinks and food almost instantly!! The food was good and hot but the service terrible !! We had to put more money on our parking ticket which then lended up going over £15! Not the birthday meal treat I was expecting. Would of got better service in spoons! Won't be going back paid about £60 ish

My wife had chicken jalfrezi, I had lamb chilli masala, we had sides of onion bhaji, garlic rice, chilli-garlic nan and a chapati.

Was good to have a couple of those. Staff were lovely too but didn't hover, they checked we were doing ok while letting us enjoy the meal.
