This restaurant is amazing. FYI it is Pakistani not Indian, (it is described wrong). Nonetheless, still amazing. Cuisine, service and decor all to a high standard. Best restaurant I've been to in Ilford. Highly recommend. Will hope to go again!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 – Highly Recommend! This place is absolutely amazing! The food is always top-notch, fresh, and so delicious — honestly 10/10 every single time. I’ve been coming here for months, and not once have I had a bad experience. The service is just as incredible as the food! The staff are beyond friendly, always welcoming with a smile and creating such good vibes. Their customer service is unmatched! A special shoutout to Tania — she’s always amazing and so lovely. I don’t know the rest of the staff’s names, but honestly, every single one of them is fantastic. The consistency here is unreal — every time I come in, I leave happy and satisfied. If you haven’t tried this place yet, you’re seriously missing out! Highly recommend it to everyone!

Good food but pathetic Customer service. Refuse to honour my Gourmet Club discount by giving lame and unwritten excuses. They should not join any discount clubs if they DONOT like to give discounts. One of the different excuses was Ramadan. It is a month of giving and compassion. Restaurants are offering deals and discounts. Sometime they have a reason that bookings after 8pm are eligible. Other staff mentioning Ramadan as reason and even the manager there has a new excuse that it is discretionary but NOT compulsory to give discount. Extremely poor Customer Services.. even next table family was struggling to get the food after one hour.. Even though food was good in quality and quantity but these poor Customer dealings make them worse to operate. Owners should consider training the staff in dealing Customers.

The restaurant was slightly quiet as we wanted to come after the rush of iftar. The starters were amazingly flavoured as well as the mains. We tried a variety of different dishes, all being very well prepared. Would recommend.

Excellent Pakistani restaurant where culinary tradition meets modern elegance. Perfect blend of spices to achieve a harmonious balance. Whether you're craving the smoky richness of chargrilled kebabs, the velvety depth of a curry, or the fragrant sweetness of gajur halwa, every meal is a celebration of authenticity and care. Perfect for intimate dinners, family gatherings, or a solo culinary experience.

I have been contemplating to write this review..as we wanted to give another chance,but this was it.I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant ,recently.First, the Kadai dish had an overwhelming fishy smell, which was completely off-putting. It was clear that either the ingredients weren’t fresh or the kitchen had serious cross-contamination issues. Next, mini grill was salty. To make things worse, they delayed one of our orders until the end of the meal, which ruined the dining experience. The prices were absurd, especially for the Kadai, which was nowhere near worth what they charged. And finally, the so-called kabuli Pulao turned out to be sweet rice with raisins, which was far from what we expected. Overall, the poor food quality, and overpriced menu make this place one I wouldn’t recommend. Definitely not worth the visit!

This place has lost its touch Came here on Saturday ordered a curry with two nan breads and two samosas. I’ll tell you now the worst curry I have ever had.. Overpriced firstly guys we are in Gants Hill not Mayfair how you lot charging over 30 quid for curry and samosa which was absolutely dreadful. Over spicy curry can’t even eat the ramen thing. Should have just gone to kebabish if I had known it was this dead.

Avoid! Disgusting venue, dishonest people. We booked the function room here and were massively disappointed. We initially visited the venue 2 months prior to our event and were shown the function room. At the time we were told the room wasn't ready yet and it needed to be cleaned and a few other improvements needed to be done. We were promised that these would be done before our event. We were also told there would be heating inside the venue along with TVs and a sound system. They agreed that we could have the room from 5p.m on the evening of the event so that we could set up. Everything sounded ideal for what we needed. On the day of the event we arrived just after 5p.m, only to be told the room wasn't ready and we needed to wait another half hour. Half and hour later, the room still wasn't ready and when I asked what the delay was I was told they were just finishing mopping the floors. We told them that we had guests arriving at 6p.m so really needed the room so that we could set up. Eventually we were taken to the room where the floors were still wet after the mopping and it was extremely cold. When asked about the heating we were told they are automatic and take a while to come on. We began setting up and guests started arriving. The heating however, remained off. We also asked about the sound system and were told the owner has a tablet which is used for the sound system and the owner was on the way with it so we should have it soon. Eventually guests arrived and were seated, the starters were eventually served. The heating still remained off. Again we enquired about the heating and were told they aren't working. At this point it was starting to get very cold, we had guests sat in their coats and hats to try and keep warm. The service was extremely slow, we had to wait almost an hour between courses whilst sat in the cold. The outside toilet was disgusting, the flush system didn't work. Surely this is a hygiene issues and needs to be addressed. Eventually we were so fed up that we decided to call the evening to an end and I went to settle the bill with the owner. I asked the staff to call the owner out so I can raise some of my complaints with him. The owner however, refused to show his face. Probably because he knows what terrible service he had provided yet wanted to try and charge me the full agreed price for the venue hire and food. We refused to pay the agreed price in the end as the service agreed was not delivered. We had guests sat in the cold all evening with their coats and hats on. The service was incredibly slow and the venue and toilets were disgusting. Dishonest people. If you are thinking of using their function room, save yourself the embarrassment and book somewhere else.

We booked this restaurant’s event room for a 1st birthday party for 50 guests and it was an utter disappointment. The management was disorganised and we weren’t given access to party room as promised for 5pm to do decorations. Instead, we were made to wait 45 minutes for access and our guests had started arriving by then. Staff was still mopping the floors and even afterwards floors were disgusting and were smelling foul. The room was unbearably cold with most of the heaters broken and incredibly uncomfortable due to a constant draught. The room isn’t insulated and management took no responsibility. They kept stalling us by saying someone is coming to look at the heaters but no one came. It was impossible to sit because the temperature was unbearable. Elders, children, everyone had to put coats on. It was an evening in January with 3 degree centigrade outside. The service was painfully slow, with food arriving late. Due to cold we wanted to leave as soon as possible but food never arrived in time. To make matters worse, the staff was clueless and manager was unhelpful and he disappeared when we tried to address the issues. The food itself was mediocre at best. It felt like they couldn’t care less. The toilet was broken as well. The event room is not fit for purpose and it was horrendous that they made us sit there. When the receptionist was confronted at the end of the day, she accepted that they were expecting an electrician on the day to look at heaters. They were aware of all the issues prior to event but decided to deceive us and kept telling lies to kill the time and let the event finish. The music system didn’t work either and no staff looked at it despite being raised. This was supposed to be a joyful celebration, but the poor service, cold and lies from management completely ruined it. At the time of booking they promised a lot but failed to deliver. I would not recommend this place to anyone planning a special occasion. Save yourself the hassle and go elsewhere.

I can’t comment on the food, but I booked a table for 7 a few days in advance. The restaurant accepted the reservation despite being booked out for an event by a large group. Felt very awkward walking in to the restaurant as we got a few stares (all other diners were part of the event). Waitress then came to meet us after a few minutes of waiting by the door. She directed us to a table and asked all 7 of us to sit on the sofa side, no chairs on other side of the table. Reluctant but I gave the restaurant a chance however when trying to order the food, a lot of it was not in stock? Walked out and visited a different establishment. Why would you accept the reservation in these circumstances, feels very greedy on the restaurants part

Sudha Matta . 2025-01-01

Our first visit to this fairly simple but very homely, modern and well decorated Pakistani street food restaurant was a very positive one with a couple of quibbles. First of all this restaurant is on a main road in a busy part of Ilford that presents a considerable parking challenge though it may be easier after 6.30pm. It may be quite tough in the day time although public transport is nearby. The first impressions of the restaurant were positive - clean - well lit and by 7pm the restaurant was almost completely full with pretty much all patrons being Asian and very much families including small children. More on this later. For a Pakistani restaurant there is a good selection of vegetarian dishes, which was very welcome as half our party was vegetarian. They were very happy with not just the selection but also the quality of the dishes. As a non-veg diner I would almost go on to say that the vegetarian dishes were better than the meat dishes, as odd as that might seem for a Pakistani restaurant. Among the starters, the paneer was excellent. In England the paneer is nowhere near the quality of what's available in South Asia - but this was quite excellent. We also ordered some chicken tikka but these were rather tough. There was exactly the opposite issue with the lamb sheesh kebabs, which had to be returned to the kitchen as they were undercooked. To their credit, Zamana replaced this with another plate and with their apologies. When it came to mains, we ordered bhindi, which was certainly one of the standouts - full of intense flavour and spice along with the paneer. We also ordered palak gosht, which was very tasty but perhaps could have done with a little more spice/chili. We also ordered tawa keema, which was good in that it did not have the amount of oil that this dish sometimes come with but on the other hand it was a little on the dry side. And again, perhaps it could have done with a little more spice/chili. It's a difficult trade-off. The portion sizes of the meat dishes were arguably more generous than the vegetarian dishes although there was quite a lot of price difference. We didn't try any of the house specialities and certainly a return visit would be worth taking in some of those although several of these such as the raan and the haleem are heavy. We also sampled the tandoori roti which came piping hot - they were flavourful and very reasonably priced. One disappointment was the desserts. We were very much looking forward to trying their rasmalai cake, which appears to be their speciality. But of the five desserts on their menu they could offer only one, which was the carrot halwa. That was very disappointing and the quality of the ice cream with it was not great either. A couple of quibbles. The most significant being the level of noise, which made it extremely hard to talk to one another. And clearly we weren't the only ones as another group of diners moved to what they obviously hoped was a quieter table. It's perhaps tough for the restaurant but a couple of tables with young children were making an incredible din that it really detracted from the enjoyment of the meal. This went on for about an hour. Clearly this is a family restaurant, which is great, but one would hope that families would at least try to control screaming kids. The second quibble was that at one point a couple of staff came out in aprons, wellies and rubber gloves to clean the tables. Not only did this add to the din given the clattering of plates but it wasn't a great look. Surely this could have been done by the waiting staff. To their credit the waiting staff were extremely friendly, polite and accommodating. There are small tweaks like this that would surely improve the restaurant a lot.

I had a worst experience in a restaurant ever in my life. It was my friend birthday and we decided to go for dinner in Zamana. We have ordered Chicken Sajji and 1/2 kg lamb with Khoya gajjar halwa. Chicken Sajji wasn’t cooked properly, it was completely overcooked. Lamb curry which we ordered wasnt 1/2kg and gajjar halwa was disgusted. Complaint to owner who himself wasn’t hygiene, dirty and yellow teeth. When he was speaking he had spit flying out his mouth.

First of all the portion was too small and in briyani it was only 2 pieces of meat in it. The only thing that we like is Gol gappay. To be honest the food was below the average and the prices are way too high. There are alot of food bloggers are doing paid promotion for them without being honest. Let me finish the whole experience in one sentence; It was pathetic.

Mixed grill was ok - seekh kebabs could be tastier. The decor of the restaurant is nice. Staff are attentive. In terms of value for money overall I would say it’s on the pricier side. We enjoyed our time overall as we wanted a place with close parking and not busy (one other table of customers) - Saturday afternoon.

We visited this restaurant on Sunday 3rd of November. The food we ordered was good. So far so good but few things I have to mention here, They added 10% service charge in the bill which is not mentioned in the menu and there webpage. Also I have a Gourmet membership and this restaurant is a member of that society which entitle me a 25% discount but they only offer 20%. That's fine I didn't mind but I really upset the 10% service charge, and also the tip goes to the owner not the staff. Which is not fair with the staff... So I request any future customers who is going to visit the restaurant please check about the service charge and don't give any tip, why restaurant owner getting the poor staff Tip. He is already getting the service charge. I will think about my future visit.

Zamana Restaurant continues to impress with its delicious food—truly a 10/10! The presentation is equally commendable, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and beautifully plated. I visited with my family, and everyone absolutely loved it. The samosa chaat and gol gappay are especially banging—packed with flavour and an absolute must-try. However, the service could use a bit of refinement, as our grill starter arrived after the mains. Despite this small setback, I always look forward to dining here, as the food quality and overall experience make it well worth the visit.

This could be the best Lahori fish I've ever tried to date! I checked out @zamanarestaurant which has a full Pakistani menu but then do a banging Pina colada - I'm so glad I ordered this because not only was it quality, served in a pineapple like that, really refreshing. From the starters you cannot miss that Lahori fish. This is probably the nicest fried desi fish I've had. Quality. Mixed grill was a good sharer too. Another hit item was the Keema Naan which was authentic. This was just like the ones I've had in Pakistan and loved that authenticity. For mains they have a good selection of karahi's and we got the chicken karahi. Haleem was pretty decent and biryani was nice too. We went on a weekday and they were quite busy so best to check especially if you're going in a big group. Also love that there's a masjid less than a minute away 🙏🏽

I can’t believe how some peoplea are giving 5 start reviews - most likely inside job. Portion size for adults were so small, even my baby was still hungry after eating his lamb biryani. They need to close this shop down. waste of money. Very pricey for these small funny portions. Try Saffron street instead. better portions in saffron street which is right around the corner.

Order was not even delivered and when I called the restaurant they said they will contact the driver and call me back, they didn't. And when I tried to call them back, they put me on messaging service. Ridiculous.

We used Zamana for a catering event at home and not easy to find super decent quality food that would cater for groups as low and was totally priced reasonable and super affordable. If you’re hosting a family event or any size gathering , highly recommend speaking to them about catering as the food tastes super nice and very delicious. Order was ready spot on time for collection and they helped transport it to the car. Great experience and will be using again after a previous restaurant said to me they don’t cater unless it’s 50 heads and Zamana were very flexible

I booked a table for 1pm, me and my friend arrived, but the restaurant was not open at 1pm. We waited around, after 15 minutes we saw someone mopping up inside, but doors remain locked. We pushed on the door to get the persons attention, he did not bother to come to the door, despite being near the door. He was making some hand signals, but was not bothered whether we went or not. Very rude.

Starters: Satisfactory Mains: The chicken and keema dishes were extremely flavoursome. Drinks: I was a disappointed with the lychee mocktail. It was on the expensive side and had added sugar to an extremely sugary drink. Overall: Good service and good food. I would recommend getting curry and biriani.

Nice desi food, Parking can be a palaver. Starter food potions could be more generous and deserts are generic hence 4 stars.

“An absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive. Now, onto the food: every dish was a masterpiece. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the ingredients tasted fresh and high-quality. The achari chicken was a standout, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Even the presentation was stunning! Definitely a must-visit for anyone who loves great food and a fantastic dining experience!” Jazak Allah

Another fantastic meal at melih bbq restaurant! We had a family meal for my daughter’s 12th birthday tonight, the food was outstanding, this is easily the best Turkish food I’ve ever had in England and holidays to Turkey! The staff are always very welcoming and take the time to speak to you and make you feel at home. I cannot recommend this place enough and five stars really isn’t enough credit to give them! Very reasonably priced for the quality of the food (and the amount you get) To all the staff at Melih’s……. Thank you for making my daughters birthday special 👌
