Zara's in Antrim

Excelente comida y servicio He probado muchos restaurantes indios y el restaurante Masala fusion definitivamente uno de los mejores en Irlanda del Norte, Masala fusion está en una pequeña calle en Antrim que te lleva por las seis millas de agua justo al lado de Islandia en High Street cruzando del antiguo palacio de justicia puede ser un poco complicado para las personas que no conocen el área para encontrarlo.

Estaba en una comida de cumpleaños con algunos amigos. Pedí un plato indio quark y me pareció increíble. No soy vegetariano, pero me gusta probar comidas diferentes. Si hubiera terminado con Quilli y Garlic. Era medio caliente para el gusto y definitivamente tuviste la mejor experiencia. No puedo esperar para volver y obtenerlo de nuevo, Mmmm. Gran servicio y ambiente. A todos mis amigos les encantó lo que ordenaron también. Entonces, si eres un vegetariano definitivamente, ve a probar los platos de quorn (y también a los no vegetarianos, difícilmente notarás la diferencia, ya que está hecho muy bien). Bien hecho a todo el personal.

Bueno, es uno de los mejores restaurantes indios en los que he saboreado la cantidad exacta de calor y un precio tan razonable que bien vale la pena visitar.

Visitamos aquí para una reunión de cliente durante el almuerzo y la comida nos pareció excelente el servicio fue rápido y atento, la ubicación es difícil de encontrar pero vale la pena salir de tu camino un vale la pena sin duda recomiendo una visita

Popular y en un ambiente agradable, con buenas vistas y amplias. Que lidiar bien con curry estándar pero la incoherencia en 'pecials calidad y buen gusto. A veces falta conocimiento personal sobre lo que están sirviendo, y probablemente no formados o pagaban lo suficiente.

No disfrutar realmente de mi comida aquí. Me tomó años y, luego, cuando llegamos estaba frío. Me gusta un indio pero no creo que vuelva corriendo aquí.

We visited on a Thursday evening... the manager was very welcoming. Considering that there are not many Asian restaurants in this part of the world the standard was very good. The manager was chatty and friendly, would recommend this restaurant and I would go again....

Me and my fiancé try to visit Zara's at least once a month as a wee treat to ourselves,every single time we are more than satisfied with food and service. Without a doubt the nicest Indian food we have tasted to date.cannot recommend ZARAS highly enough 5* all round

I've had takeaways several times from here but last time the chicken tasted horrible and actually smelled off! Tried to complain through the internet service we ordered through but no joy. Won't go back here again.

I am a regular visitor to Zara's, mostly for carry outs rather than sit ins. The restaurant is lovely and comfortable. Although I've never had a bad meal the consistency can vary from OK to very good. My favourite Indian meals are the hot ones and I've tried Zara's Madras and Vindaloo both of which were good but the sauces were very thin. I've also had their Patia which I have to say was excellent, with a rich and thick sauce. I've been to many Indian restaurants and would agree Zara's is good but for me the lack of consistency and thin sauces means I can't give it a 5 star rating. That said it wont put me off going back but then there isn't another Indian restaurant in Antrim to compare!

We went on a quiet Wednesday evening so it would be unfair to say it lacked atmosphere. Service was attentive and the food was of a good standard.

Always look forward to getting meals from Zara's, food always very tasty and fresh. My favourite dishes are the Patia and roshni, I also love the cheesy garlic nan bread. Highly recommend, great for a weekend treat .

We have visited Zara's Antrim . The place is good as usual , The food is excellent , The service was very good , Sunny , was the best waiter . All the staff was friendly , We have got our food on time . Our team manger was very happy about their service . We are planning to our Christmas Staff Party at ZARAS . The food was excellent . This place was pristine clean. Our over all comments for this restaurant is five star . We will be dfo come back ZARAS . This place is good for small party .

Popped in here mid-week after collecting other half from an evening class in Clotworthy House. Noone else in the restaurant (but there was some takeaway business). Service was good and friendly. Food was excellent - Sylheti. The decor may be looking a little tired but the food and service were first rate - well worth a visit.

We ate here as a group. It was very enjoyable, pleasant food and drink. Great atmosphere and surroundings. Food portions are generous and taste very fresh and authentic. Most of the staff are very friendly and polite, they seem to work together and have a great team spirit. However one of the staff, a young girl, is what will prevent us returning. I think she is covering for the usual girl who is off on maternity leave. When we entered we were greeted with a blank stare from her, no greeting etc. Someone asked to her to get us some popadoms for the table, she let out a huge sigh. Said popadoms were thrown down at us with attitude. She walked off without even a smile or acknowledgement, she then leaned on the bar while watching others work. My daughter got up to use the bathroom and was given what can only be described as a dirty look. She cost the rest of the team their tip as they share them. Upon sharing my experience with friends they agreed that they had felt uncomfortable and did not like eating there as she was there. We thought it was only weekends she was there and decided that next time we would go during the week, my husband poked his head in and saw her there on a weekday also. Sorry Zara's but until the normal team is back together we won't be back. This opinion seems to be shared by a few people I have spoken to.

Antrim has an abundance of crap restaurants and Zara's is most definitely a hidden gem. Indian cuisine is probably my favourite and I cook it from fresh a lot, therefore I can appreciate the quality of Zara's food. The food is fresh, flavoursome and authentic. Portion sizes are generous therefore great value for money. We have never had a bad meal in here, so difficult to recommend just one dish. The latest time I really enjoyed a lamb biryani which was fabulous - tender, delicate lamb with no fat. Their homemade naan bread is to die for. Service is prompt and friendly, another bonus. Free shot that comes with the bill is another nice touch. Highly recommended.

Zara's Indian Restaurant in Antrim town is absolutely five stars.Having been going there for several years, it is time for me to spread the word!This is warm, clean, comfortable restaurant, superbly finished and furnished to a high standard. For those who appreciate quality tableware, the crockery, cutlery and glassware are very high-end.No expense has been spared in creating a wonderful environment for a dining experience!The menu is wide and varied, cooked by the multi-talented chef who I know as Rana. He will constantly appear to check on customer satisfaction.My favourite main here is Lamb Monposond, an incredible creation first recommended to me by the owners, the quality of the meat is so unusual these days. Try it, I think it's a house special!!As this is a licensed restaurant, it's great to avail of a splendid wine list!! The guys out front, Mr H and Sonny (as I know them), are terrific hosts, never intrusive, but incredibly passionate about what they do, and this is what makes it a special dining experience.Value for money, quality food and drink and exceptional customer care, I hope to keep visiting here for many years to come! G

Wasn't impressed. Scruffy,boring and food not good.Staff friendly but food let the place down.I had vegetarian korma and it was dire.I find they bulked it out with too much broccoli and Cauliflour. It was gloppy and not hot at all. Not much flavour and wasn't pleasant to eat.

I love this place. Lovely Indian food. And friendly staff. It's well looked after. Is clean and tidy. And is a lovely dining experience. Take away food is of a great high standard too

The restaurant was a nice respite from the main street pubs. The food was delicious at a good price and the staff were very courteous. The location was very nice on the river and the decor was tastefully done. Overall a great experience and would return with no hesitation. Thanks!

Good river views from table. Very helpful and friendly staff. Chicken chat is wonderful, so is the rogan josh, dansaak , and tikka massalla. Great as a family restaurant but also nice as a dine out for couples. Delivery service good, time estimates always spot on, never got an order wrong. If you like sweet and fruity curry the chef's special with a korma like sauce filled with fruit and meat sounds a bit weird but is gorgeous!

Great quality food. Zara's has an extensive menu to choose from, friendly staff - highly recommended. I have ate here on numerous occasions sit in an take away.

Had carry out on Saturday lamb rogan josh food was excellent and portion was larger than other restaurants would highly recommend it

Excellent food really impressed havent dined in it but always get takeaway. Highly recommended, give it a go.

Excellent food & great choice of beverages. A must if your visiting antrim & like Indian food or just a great curry.you must also try the kebabs .

Had varying experiences of this well located and attractive restaurant. Quality can be inconsistent and at their best the curries are not outstanding. There seems to be too many managers (proprietors) which might account nevertheless it is overall very good.

Ate here today for first time found the service prompt and courteous. Had a starter main course and desert with a drink for £20. Food was excellent I love a hot curry and wasn't disappointed Definitely will be back. Excellent place to eat

This is by far the best Indian I have ever eaten out of. The Mahkani is amazing, as is the tikka masala. Highly recommend this place and the service is always great too.

I didn't have a lot of faith in the takeaways in Antrim town but Zara's changed my mind there! I arrived on a Saturday afternoon for takeaway for the family and the girl who served me asked what our collective tastes were, what we were looking for and which type of meat we wanted and I explained our individual tastes. She said "leave it with me" and off she went to the kitchen. A short time later she produced a selection of interesting dishes with rice, naan, popadoms and dips for us to take home and try. They did not disappoint and were extremely tasty. That was a real first for any takeaway I've been to as they catered to our individual tastes and I was suitably impressed. Looking forward to returning perhaps next time to sit in.

Expensive food just ok didn't enjoy it more liquid then meet content a bit disappointed and quite slow service don't think I would try again

I was relieved to find this restaurant after wading through all the chinese takeaways and chip shops in Antrim. The food was basic, adequate Indian cuisine, and the service was quick and contentious.

I cook a lot of homemade curries and when I am feeling lazy and want to treat myself at the weekend, we always turn to Zara's for an Indian takeaway. I would highly recommend! They do a very good value 'set meal for 2', for less than £22, comprising a chicken bhuna main, lamb madras main, 2 pilau rices, 2 poppadoms, large naan bread, 4 small onion bhajis and 2 large vegetable pakoras- a feast for 2! I would also recommend the lamb biryani and the chicken jalfrezi, both spicy and very flavoursome, the way a curry should be.The takeaway food is always piping hot, non-greasy and tasty.The place looks nice to sit in although I haven't availed of a sit-in meal yet - next time!

Bought a takeaway from here. The service was good as was the delivery time. The charge for delivery was also very reasonable. The prices overall were fair. The quality of the food was average. I have had better Indian food but that is not to say that Zara's isn't good.

I wasn't sure because for takeaways this place is significantly more expensive than the other options in Antrim, I went for my usual Chicken Tikka Massala with accompanying Garlic naan, and I must say I was impressed, It certainly looked nicer than the other options in Antrim.I think to get our mooney's worth, your probably better going and sitting in at Zaras.

Zara's is our regular Indian, and time after time we are never disappointed! The standard of the food is great, as good as you'll find, while the staff are excellent and very friendly!Every year on its birthday (around September) it has 1 or 2 weeks where all food is 50% off in restaurant (25% off takeaway), and we usually make it at least twice in this promotion.Look forward to coming back here in the future!

Have had many many meals both in & carry out & have been impressed each time. My son loves the hot stuff (you know the kind that will strip the lining of your stomach but tastes yummy) almost exclusively & he is always delighted. My wife loves the mild (er the better) food exclusively & is always delighted, which is strange as Indian isn't one of her favourite types of food. Me I'm easy (not that way) I love it all, expect high quality & I'm always delighted. So a broad spread of tastes & preferences & all delivered with Zaras. I can honestly recommend the food from Zaras & they are always delighted to see you & provide great service. As for take away, well when my son calls they know him without him having to give his name. That shows how much he loves their food. Give it a try.

Have ate out of this restaurant from it opened & never go anywhere else ,delish meals & grt staff ,lovely to sit in over looking the river & Halls bridge

I like this place. The food is excellent. Plenty of choice at lunchtime. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Great value and service.

Great food Great serviceGreat takeawayGreat pricesWill cook for your requirements eg dairy intolerant. We have been going for years & never had a bad meal.

Food always great friendly staff best Indian around Have eaten here any time both in and take away always a good meal

we go to Zaras for my birthday every year and they manager, staff, food and service were great. They are very friendly, helpful with the menu and welcoming, Great place to eat

The food is reasonably priced, orders always accurate, great tasting food, a really good variety. Would be good if listed fods that were gluten and dairy free, but I am sure that will happen.

I use Zara's regularly & have always had good meals & take aways from there. Tonight was exceptional, I don't know if there's a new chef or just that the regular one has upped his game, but it was by far the best meal I've had from there. The lamb was tender & delicious in the Nagpuri, sauces fuller of flavour & the salad has changed from the usual take away boring lettuce to lambs leaf. Nice one Zara's, keep this up!

My family and friends have frequented Zaras numerous times over the past 3 years, both eating in and taking out. We were always thrilled and raved about it to everyone. In fact I had previously on 9 September 2012 rated Zaras with a 5 on tripadvisor. On new years however, we ordered a meal for family we were entertaining and were more than disappointed with the food. The lamb pasanda was like lumps of lamb floating in porridge. The vibrant colour and flavour was completely absent. Only for the meals having different meat (chicken and lamb) we could not distinguish between the lamb pasanda and the makani chicken (our two regular dishes- normally amazing). My sister had order another dish and was equally disappointed. It was quite embarrassing to have such poor food at a family event you were hosting. Anyway we put it down to the restaurant being busy for new years eve and decided to eat elsewhere for a bit. A week ago for a birthday we decided to try Zaras again and sadly were very disappointed once again. I therefore feel I must change my 5 star rating as I can no longer recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Have been to Zara's a few times and they never disappoint. Tonight our meal was delicious, the service is very friendly and warm. Staff very helpful when ordering.. Loved it and would recommend to anyone who enjoys Indian food!

We eat here often, the food is consistently good and the service is quick and professional. Couldn't recommend enough!

After 4 years of travel, I'm Back.!My family have dined here many happy times... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzuuuuuuuuuuttttttt...........!Tonight I ordered two dishes, one from the menu and one classic; Chicken Methi, with green chillies which should and could be knocked up in 90 seconds by any chef. The bread : Chapati arrived Small, folded and as crunchy as a Popadom and Inedible.!The Puri, in two finger-food teardrop pieces - unfit for purpose as bread for an Indian meal.The Methi had NO Methi taste and had Green chillies thrown on top as apposed to cooked in with the dish even for the few seconds that it would take to blend the spices.The Hara Mirchi: tasted and looked well with a decent blending of spices and green chillies that had obviously been cooked with its mother sauce.My biggest complaint is after incurring a realistic but non-subsidised £5 (5mile) and £32 pounds cash money, my telephone query was met by; "It wasn't me! Yes please thank you goodbye! AND #2 Sam's not here.!"Where has your Pride gone Zara.? AND.... WHY don't you care.? Also. If you want to expand your delivery radius to include Randalstown, Subsidise your deliveries just like restaurants in Belfast or any other town in the UK. God knows you charge enough.!

I had a main course in this restaurant of a cross section of starter dishes on the one plate because I think it is a good way to rate the quality of the food served up.I received one chapati with a dish of insipid mint sauce - no yoghurt in there at all - more like tap water and milk, and no mint.The selection of starters all appeared to be the same with the exception of a chicken leg and a piece of kebab chicken. Samosas were no better than ok. Onion Bhajis were no different from something else on the plate they were supposed to be - all on a bed of onion!What a disappointment for 20 quid!I will not be back despite the manager's protestations that I didn't have a main course. The fact that I wanted to have a broad selection to decide how they were had no meaning was lost on him apparently and I came away hugely disappointed, never to retern.

Have eaten here a number of times. Food is always good. Good service, friendly staff. Restaurant overlooks the river so get a table near the windows.

Found this restaurant on my second attempt - across a foot bridge over the Six Mile river from a quiet car park off Bridge Street. Excellent food and service, very well presented and enjoyed by us. We will be going again :)Agree with Des T's comment that there could be a bit more Indian decor!

Use the restaurant quite often. Great food. Never had a bad meal. Prices are normal for Indian food.Only negative is lack of authentic Indian atmosphere eg decor, music etc. Recommended dish Akbar's Adrak ( spelling maybe dodgey)

Zara's is a real find! The quality of the food is excellent, the service is great and the lunchtime menu is incredible value. Well cooked, flavoursome food with just the right amount of spice and heat, each mouthful is a tasty treat. Definitely a cut above your average Indian, Antrim is lucky to have this place and it deserves to be well supported by everyone.

Great food, great service. Both takeaway & eating in - varied menu and something for every person! Staff friendly and fast service.

I ordered a delivery from Zaras. I was made aware that the food would take 45 minutes to be delivered. This was not a problem. 50 minutes later, my food arrived, the delivery driver was pleasant and polite so no faults there.I opened my takeaway and noticed to my dismay that all the curries had split. We attempted to mix the sauces back together but to no avail, they left a horrible oily taste in our mouth. Not to mention that the food was only lukewarm at best. we had a few mouthfuls and just threw it in the bin. When I was told it would be 45 minutes I expected this to be spent in the kitchen cooking not in a car getting cold.

Excellent food and service, can't fault it. The quality of the curries are some of the best I've tasted.

Ok, not chuffed that they won't accommodate any specialRequests, also, sauces are far toooooo coloured, that seems to be all I have to say on such a paltry matter

Went on my own whilst on business trip in Antrim and although the picture and map on this site being wrong, with the help of a local, found Zara's quite easily down the side of Iceland in the centre of Antrim. The place was lovely and the staff courteous and attentive without being OTT. The food was delicious, hot and full of flavour. The lamb in my Punjabi Masala was spot on with no fat or gristle and the Peshwari Naan was one of the nicest i have had. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

We've visited Zara a few times and the food is consistently very good. The menu is extensive but if you fancy something else, the chef is always happy to create your favourites. The dining room is large and roomy and is situated in a quiet location in the centre of town by the river. It's a pity that more couldn't be made of the location to provide outdoor seating for summer evenings or to have a drink on the terrace before dining. The last time we went was for our wedding anniversary just before Christmas. We knew that there would be large groups out for their annual parties but, since I'd booked in advance to explain the purpose of our visit, I was a bit disappointed that we were seated next to a big group which didn't make for a romantic meal. Also, the lighting was too bright which detracted from the ambiance. Despite a couple of niggles, we will be visiting Zara again the next time we're in Antrim.

For those who like their Indian more authentic Zaras is a most. The restaurant is headed by experienced restantaurs from Birmingham who have brought their passion for good Indian food to Antrim making it frankly the best restaurant in the town full stop never mind the best Indian. Food is always amazing, staff are knowledgeable and friendly and are happy to tailor the dishes to your preferences. Although licenced the beer and wine is excellent value. There is a free car park on the other side of the bridge from the restaurant.

Nice place, I have been to this place few times. Though it is secluded and off the main road but it is worth to go in. One can have a nice view of the river from the windows. Service is fast and efficient with sumptuous food.

I went to Zara with a few colleagues for their 'business lunch'.. ok, it was a restricted menu and the portions were modetly smaller than the normal menu, but what fabulous value for money!! Zara's location is not particularly welcoming, with many of the surrounding building appearing shuttered and empty. Although it has a pleasent outlook over the river, I can't help thinking it would do better somewhere else!Anyway, I shall be back for more soon!

Great friendly fast service. I have been getting carryouts from Zara's for years. It's hard to find places where the food is constantly excellent! I have never had any complaints.

Please come to Zara's and you will enjoy a lovely meal served by polite staff . They will explain about the food if you are not too familiar with Indian fare. This is a pleasant , stylish restaurant overlooking the 6 Mile Water passing below. Car parking available 60 yards away over a footbridge. The food is excellent and the service first class , no rushing you out . We come to Zara's often as a family and as a group of friends or even order as a take away , always good. I am so glad Antrim has an Indian Restaurant again and look forward to the next visit.

I have eaten in so many different Indian restaurant's all over the UK and without a doubt Zara's in little Antrim is the best!! My favourite is a vegetarian korma, which isn't on the menu but I asked the staff and was informed the chef was more than happy to make it. The tikka masala is beautiful too. The butter makani is very very sweet but brilliant for mild eaters - and therefore children. I could go on for days about how well prepared the food is. The staff are always friendly especially the gentleman with an english accent whom I think is the host or possibly owner.

I don't know why,but when I called at this restaurant it was empty,only me and one other diner,it seemed strange as the receptionist at the hotel told me it was excellent,and she was right,the food was very good,I had a Chicken Madras which was really tasty,the rice and naan were good too,I will go back next time I'm in Antrim,but maybe a little bit later

I have dined here on many occassions and the staff and food are excellent.I have got to know the staff in here over the years of being a loyal customer.What they have had to put up with in the ways of racism that they have been subjected to is a disgrace but still they turn op and serve great food and provide greater service, its a credit to them.

Just wanted to share my one of the worst experience at Zara's on 22/10/13. Me and my wife went to eat at Zara resturant around 9.30 pm. There were not any other customers in the resturant. Boy on reception and our host brought us to our table and offered seats, he put the menus on the table. We were offered a four seat table and front chairs were offered to sit as they were slide out. The first issue, there were no cutlery in front of us but beside us where the both seats were empty (on the same table). We were offered papdoms as usual and were left to choose our order. Staff member who was the only one visible in the building, took away few extra cutlery from the side table and did not bothered to place some in front of us. When we started to place our order and ordered Motor Paneer and he said there is no Paneer at all then my wife asked him what other dishes are available. He was so rude just to answer "I can make you anything but we do not have any Paneer". We decided to make some changes and ordered Bombay Aaloo instead Motor Paneer and Vegetable Bhuna. After some time when we finished the papdoms, he brought our ordered food on our table. Then my wife asked him "Can we have some cutlery please?". He looked at us with very cold look and said "it's sitting there". That guy had no respect to the women and no sense how to speak to the customers. Then my wife said we have been to many resturants and always cutlery and napkins provided in front of us. Then he started shouting for no reason. He said I told you it's siting there and he said " I offered you a big table instead of a small two sweater and still you people are complaining. Then he continued this is the problem with "Our People". That's the most discriminative statement, we ever heard. What he tried to say was that we do not know the basic mannerism of eating out. When I confronted him because of the rude behaviour with my wife, he started shouting. The way he shouted on my wife for asking a simple basic question that was not acceptable. We have been to Zara resturant with our friends and family many times, we never had this type of customer service. I really do not know how this guy get the job in this resturant who does not know how to speak to the customers. He does not know how to treat with the customers. We decided to leave after such a bad and rude experience and then he again started to shout and asked us to pay for the food. We had no chance to say something as he became so aggressive and walked out of the room to kitchen area. It was really disappointing to have this kind of customer service in Zara resturant Antrim. An Angry Customer

Called in on route from a North coast day out. Trip adviser on Tom Tom sent us to an industrial estate so beware ! however once we located by postcode it was well worth it lots of specials plus all the usuals you would expectAttentive and pleasant service with reasonable prices and a view of the river from our tableAnd to cap it all off we watched a huge otter swimming up and down the river oblivious to us watching him from the footbridge next to the restaurant brilliant !

I thoroughly enjoy going to Zara's i would often visit with my partner and with friends on every visit the staff are very friendly and really make sure your time spent is happy, and as im in often staff remember what i like as i usually get the same meal each time, the food is great and the atmosphere is very relaxing .

Fabulous authentic food.Never had a disappointing meal whether take out or eating in.Staff are so friendly, decor is so pretty and atmosphere is lovely and relaxed!Love this place!

Went for a meal with the family thought I would try this place because of TripAdvisor starters where such a good start ordered Bombay aloo nice with just amount of spice then mains came ordered a madras No spice and very watery nan bread had no garlic and just a little bigger than a tea plate coke was flat and a little over priced I don't mind paying for or traveling for good food. My favorite meal is Asian and have Asian friends that have cooked for me sorry but will not be going back!

Friendly staff, Excellent food,Great Value. Highly recommended.This Town is in need of Good food Outlets, and Zara's adds another choice. Weather your a die hard Curry muncher or a butter Chicken Beginner, Give this place a chance.This is not Chip shop curry, thank budda or whoever.

I used to travel for miles to my favourite curry house, but now it's just around the corner! Zara's is fabulous, and adds so much more than most of the normal standard menus including chicken tikka massala etc.Clearly a very talented chief here, because although they do offer the curry 'norms', they also offer various meals from the regions of india and bangladesh.Highly recommended!

The food and service are always wonderful in Zara's. It is difficult, if not impossible, to get decent vegan food in NI but here the food is delicious. The service is friendly and professional. This is my favourite place to eat.Plenty of vegetarian and meat dishes too.

We were on a hunt for an Indian take away the other night and Zara's popped up, we had before, used a different take away just down the road but were unimpressed, so decided to try Zara's instead. And I am glad to say they impressed us all round! Prices were brilliant, with the curry price including a rice. The staff members were very helpful, as at first we couldn't find the restaurant to pick up the take away. But they were very helpful! The food impressed up both, was full of flavour, and well worth the money! We will be returning again for our next take away!!

I have had many Currys and Asian food dishes in my time but I can not get enough of the Saag Aloo out of this restaurant. Beautiful!

The food and staff here are sensational!The little extras that come as standard is what make this restaurant so special!

We recently visited Zaras in Antrim because of the excellent reviews on trip advisor. The setting of the restaurant is not the best, it seems to be in a bit of a run down part of the town but we decided to give it a shot. Initially I was a bit put off by the price of the food as it was about 30-40% more expensive than our local indian restaurant. However, the food is really very good and lots of meat in the dishes that we chose rather than a few pieces floating in a sauce. The manager/owner and the staff are very pleasant and friendly without being overbearing, just right. I could definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone.

i order regular from zaras in antrim and enjoy the food everytime,my favorite is chicken jalfrize or a lamb madras,i have also tried the vindaloo which is hot!.i usually order by phone and then collect and the staff are always polite,i have never sat in but the place looks nice.i have noticed that on sunday the 13th of may until thursday all sit in is half price and takeaways have 25% off to celebrate their 4th birthday which is excellent value. worth trying

The food is of excellent quality, wouldn't have a Chinese after trying Indian. One of my favourite places to dine/take away. The staff are very helpful and give great advice if you're unsure of what to order, in fact they'll probably let you sample a few sauces at no cost. All the people who work there are very pleasant and polite, so excellent service. Also the restaurant has a nice atmosphere in it. 10 out of 10

We have eaten here on several occasions and have never had a bad meal. The staff are excellent and if you think you can manage a truly hoy curry try the Nagpuri.

Have been to this place a few times and never disappoints!! friendly staff and excellent food. Cant wait to go back :)

Totaly the best indian I have ever had in Ireland, Zara's Special for a Starter is absolutly delicious, you so have to try it. Great service and Great atmoshere, if you dont live local its well worth travelling for this great Indian Experience?

For me, Zara's is the best Indian restaurant in Northern Ireland. An undiscovered gem.The food is delicious and the staff are happy to make recommendations, or suggest off-menu options. The staff are very friendly and always remember returning customers. The price is reasonable - £10-£13 for a sit in meal (main course) and £8 for a take-away option. There is a limited choice of alcoholic drinks - a few wine or beer options - but this is always fine for me.I've been both as a couple and in large groups, and the service is always fantastic.I would highly recommend a visit!
