Zara's in Sheffield

Really bad quality curries would not recommend at all

Food was too small for 42pounds not ideal price first and last time to order from them

Pleasant staff, i was offered a soft drink whilst i waited. They through in some popadoms too.

It was late but that wasn’t a problem, it was fine.

We were really looking forward to treating ourselves to a Friday night curry. Couldn’t have been more disappointed. Both curry’s were so bland. Not one bit of spice. What a waste of money.

As always. Great food, great service, great delivery staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My rating for zara would be 5.5 /10. Average at best . Could do with a deco. Staff decent but ive had much better indian meals.

beautiful food tonight, as always

👌 very cold 🥶 curry 🍛 and was like water

Group of 5 people on new years eve . Very busy as expected. The food was amazing 👏 especially zaras curry which I had . Starters was also really good onion bhaji, mixed kebab . Good atmosphere and service Can't wait to go back .

great price , nice tasting meal, super quick delivery

I’ve ordered from here a number of times, it’s always been great food. This is first time I’ve order through the app and I won’t be doing again, all the dishes order are cold covered in grease and ‘sweat’ the food kind I ordered a pickle tray and got onions nothing else. I’m shocked at how the food came, it was as If the food had been packed and left on the side. I hate to leave negative reviews but feel it needs to be noted for improvement purposes.

Lovely food delivered on time brilliant

Lovely enjoyed the food very much and would recommend

Best Indian restaurant in Sheffield

Very very late and cold when arrived

Excellent food, beautifully spiced and always tasty.

My first visit to zaras last night but it will certainly not be my last visit. Good choice of dishes, lovely food and very friendly, professional staff. See you next time!

Zara's en Crookes es un encantador restaurante que sirve una gama completa de excelentes platos de buena calidad a precios justos. El servicio de mesa es muy bueno, al igual que la entrega para pedidos para llevar. El personal es siempre educado, servicial y amable. Personalmente lo recomiendo. Pauline Norton.

Nuestra primera visita a Zaras, pero sin duda no será la última! El personal es muy amable y atento, encantado de guiarnos a través del menú. Maravillosa elección, la comida era deliciosa y bien presentada. ¡Hasta la próxima!

Zara's in Crookes is a lovely restaurant serving a full range of excellent good quality dishes at fair prices. The Table service is very good - as is the Delivery for takeaway orders. I personally recommend it. Pauline Nort

Love this place I go every December for my friends birthday and we always have a great time They even deal with my severe nut allergies and always make sure I have a great experience Can’t wait to be back in December x

Zara's is the place to be if you like really spicy Curry Tikka, Madras, or sweet curry, whatever your taste buds need, the garlic breads are great, recommend, Harry

¡Vine a comer con amigos esta noche y me impresionó! El personal era muy amable y no podía hacer lo suficiente para nosotros, ya que uno de nosotros tiene alergias. La comida era preciosa también, sin duda volveremos!

Food was cold and had to be heated, didn’t taste very good no flavour at all, and I have eaten in this restaurant when it was really good food, plus arrived 30 min late. Not good at all.

1st time dining this evening. Absolutely delicious food. Amazing pickle tray. Lovely friendly staff will definitely return 😊 Definitely recommend

He estado viniendo aquí durante años. Las últimas dos visitas han sido terribles. . la comida acaba de bajar. . lo siento, pero no vuelvo otra vez.

Have been a few times, delicious food and staff are really friendly!

Not a very pleasant experience. Tandoori chicken dry as a bone, rice was stodgy and stuck together. A sauce missing in pickle tray, flavour all together underwhelming. Disappointed as weve eaten in at the restaurant before and was nice then

Visité con amigos y la comida fue realmente decepcionante. Porciones pequeñas e insípidas para empezar. El pollo al curry apareció y supo como sobras y se volvió a calentar. Los refrescos se servían a temperatura ambiente. Camarero gritando al otro lado de la mesa para conseguir órdenes. No volvería de nuevo.

Good quality Indian, with a wide selection of both traditional options and specials. Cozy inside environment. Great place for a dinner out.

Amazing food brilliant service

Nice food. Lovely Nan’s. Bit disappointed in Dahl Masala as it was less lentil more watery.

The staff were really friendly here. It is definitely a place for people to go who like spicy food and top flavour. There is a pretty big range of food. They were so nice they even gave you sweets and posh wine. The staff are so nice and friendly. It is my favourite Indian restaurant that I have ever been to. 5 stars for sure.

Been to a lot of curry house's one of the best I've had for a long time mullagatowney soup 10 out of 10

Lovely food will definitely be ordering from here again..

Deserves a far higher rating. The food was very delicious and the menu had a great selection of dishes. The staff were attentive and friendly.

Brilliant service and atmosphere. Friendly staff and brilliant food. Will definitely return. Worth a visit any time of the day.

My first visit, lovely food, friendly staff..shame my cola was flat! He kindly replaced it, twice but still flat..no charge which I felt was a nice gesture. Definitely be back

Ordered online Very late delivery came an hour after ordering and order placed 20min before shop open. Delivery driver held onto order and was asking to payment again even though she held the payment receipt in her hand. The food! Omg. The worst indian I have ever had. The tandoori chicken was yellow and tasteless. The methi chicken was tough and had absolutely no flavour at all. I contacted using the restaurant WhatsApp link and never received a reply and the same happened with the x feed. I would never eat here again.

So bland, wouldn’t order again

Like chicken soup with zero taste. Complete waste of £60

This is my first ever negative review on tripadvisor! Having been a regular customer at Zara's restaurant and regularly used the deliver serviced i'm bitterly disappointed to advise that this evening delivery include in our food a very large hair! The do appear to have standards have lessened over the years to the extent of todays delivery! it's a great shame but i will not be back! i suggest you return to your previous standards! as you appear to be reliant on your reviews of a number of years ago.

We came in and ordered drinks , popadoms and staters which was all going well , then we had more drinks and waited and waited asked about our mains as other ppl came in ate and left as we waited sone more ! Over an hour later we asked again ( it’s coming soon) we all had enough and had to get up and leave ! We paid for what we had ate and drunk but the service was just terrible we will never ever go back here again 😡

We’ve been coming here for years, despite pretty regular staff changes the food is great. It used to be popular with visiting snooker players but I think it’s got a lot of competition now. The restaurant is looking a little dated and could do with a refresh. Quite pricey for a takeaway but not too bad if sitting in.

The exterior and interior of the restaurant are tatty and really could do with a freshen up. Our starters, popadoms were lovely, lots of dips in the pickle tray! I had chick pea curry and taaka dhal as my main with rice, which were ok but not hugely tasty. We had some breads with our dishes, my partner said they were brushed with marge not butter 🥹 My partner had lamb shashlik .. lamb in a mustard sauce. He said the meat was rather tough. The cost of the meat dish was taken off the bill as he had eaten very littl. This was really appreciated. The staff were helpful and polite :) Service was prompt.

Had a family meal about 20 ov us, food was lovely, staff were great, overall great experience

Disgusting cold warmed up chicken dry and overpriced...never again

After arriving we were pressured to order drinks and starters. In the space of around 4 minutes we were checked on/ watched and asked if our food was ok by 3 members of staff. We had staff hovering around us and moving plates etc whilst still eating. To the point my child was upset and thought something was wrong. Food was very bland, oily and not to the standard expected for a £106 bill. After being advised by themselves that they are child friendly as I have a 5, 11, 13 and 9 year old with us. We were charged £9.50 for fried chicken nuggets for a picky 5 year old that was unable to eat them due to being burnt and awful! The whole meal with my family we were made to feel very uncomfortable, unwelcome and we couldn’t wait to leave. I would advise anyone with young family to avoid. I would never visit the place again. I am shocked how poor this place is as it is still open.

Best food, fabulous environment, and excellent service! This is the second time I came here, feel will visit again!

Located about 10mins from Sheffield centre,a lovely Indian restaurant nicely decorated with friendly attentive staff and lovely food. We all had different meals all of which were very nice although I thought they needed to be slightly hotter temperature wise netherless very nice.

I usually love Zara’s I’ve been to the restaurant multiple times however this takeaway was disappointing food was cold, ordered a garlic Nan bread and it barely had any garlic on it.. not even sure if it was just plain! Zara’s need to up their takeaway game!

The food took 2 hours to be delivered and was cold when it did eventually arrive! Really really disappointed. I won’t be using this restaurant again for delivery.

Rubbish Arrived very late. Well over an hour late. No apology given. Food Luke warm. Didn’t enjoy the meal. Majority was binned.

Amazing place for a Curry, not been for years but will soon be back!

The king prawns were tough and the karai sauce was not as Ive had it before from Zaras.

friendly service, nice quality good

First time ordering after hearing good reviews but was very disappointed. Food was bland and watery. Wouldn’t order again.

Best Indian in Sheffield in my opinion, our new regular. All the starters were top notch. Mains were amazing. Service was great. Loved it.

Food was delicious only downside were the starter - onion bhaji which were very dry. Will order from again.

A busy restaurant in the heart of Crookes. The food is well presented & delicious. The staff are accommodating, pleasant, friendly, helpful & very attentive.

I could say it’s been the worst starters I had in whole UK . I have ordered chicken tikka, lamb tikka both were worst and seekh kebab was good and then kashmiri naans with hyderbadi gosht curry this was ok ok then chicken biryani was below average. Better go for any other if you want to have proper indian food

Early delivery was fine - happy to have it sooner. Food was tasty but my haryali was full of herb stalks. Thick ones I had to remove as I was eating as they couldn’t be eaten

Top notch food - I highly recommend the paneer!

Really enjoyed my veggie thali. Friends thought their food was good too. His staff too 😎

The food is consistently good here. If we want Indian food, Zara's is our go to. Their delivery service is also good! Reasonably priced and decent portion sizes. The pickle tray with the different chutneys with the poppadoms are great, nice to try different ones to the standard ones. The service can feel a little chaotic at times but that's not really a problem.

They missed the popadoms we had ordered and the main dishes were mediocre in quality.

Bhaji was dry like it had been reheated.

Would say the food it actually really wonderful ..but advise is never order online ..visit the restaurant or eat in but dont order online for delivery...this is the 3rd time ordering and after the previous 2 times I promised I would never order again but I thought give them another chance..more fool me ..after waiting nearly 3 hours and 3 phone calls chasing food eventually got what was ordered ...so disappointed with the delivery service its actually non existent ..my opinion don't offer the service as you clearly can't deliver

Prawn puree was stodgy and all the food was cold.

This was our first order from Zara’s and it definitely won’t be our last! Very tasty and good sized portions. Would recommend!

Great food, always has a high quality taste

Lovely lovely food! Hot and delicious

Expected delivery in 1hr minimum but arrived at least half an hour early. Ordered rice, naan and 4 sides and everything was delicious

I expected better quality, Bhaji was hard, cold and tasteless. Dishes were 90% sauce with a bit of meat, not value for money. Very disappointed.

Absolutely delicious. Will order again.

Poor - we ordered at 19:47, it said 45-55 minutes. When order confirmed it said estimated delivery 20:55-21-15. This is already later than it advertises. Our food actually arrived at 21:38. Paying £35 for a take away that turns up almost 2 hours after ordering is very disappointing! We will not be ordering again.

Amazing as usual. We ordered a chicken tikka bhuna, chicken tikka madras, rice, naan, chapati, veg samosa and pickle tray and all great quality. Food is always cooked great, always warm and tasty. Chicken is also always great quality as never any fatty bits like we’ve had at some other restaurants. 10/10

Food was very tasty and really good will be ordering again

Food was bit Bland and cooked in less spices

Totally surprised we have not rated this restaurant before as we have been several times. Madge says it is her favourite local Indian. Traditional place with a huge selection of dishes to chose from. Really enjoyed them all on each visit but maybe a little out of touch with the Street Food craze. Cobra in bottles. Good value.

Such a shame after visiting 6 weeks running spending £50 a time we had a bad starter with 2 x Prawn Purees were both curdled and tasteless. As what I thought was a valued customer offering constructive criticism I left 3 messages for them and no response at all not to apologise or maybe offer to put things right. I am not a serial complainer but in this day and age felt they needed to know and to not acknowledge or respond is very poor despite it showing the messages had been read!!! Such a shame but decided now to try elsewhere. I am a stickler for Customer Service.

Piping hot food. Missing naan bread. Hassle having to ring the restaurant. Will wait and go through food while the delivery driver is still present next time.

The food tasted nice, however, it was cold due to the very late delivery. Food was meant to arrive according to the app between 8:15-8:35 after being ordered at 7.27. We called the restaurant at 8:38. They said the food was on the way and the delivery driver had left. The food arrived at 9:18. The drive from the restaurant to ours is not too far so it was confusing why this took 40mins from us ringing up, also resulting in the food being cold on arrival. If the app had said that the food was going to be delivered at this time we would not have ordered from this restaurant. We phoned the restaurant who said it had been busy and advised us to order direct through the restaurant. We were not sure why this would affect anything. Surely they could update just eat of their business.

Ordered a takeaway via just eat for 3 of us at £46 total. This is honestly the worst takeaway curry we have ever had. The starters of poppadoms, onion bhaji and sheekh kebab tasted old and stale like they'd been around a few days. We ordered a pickle tray at £4 to go with the poppadoms but this was missing. The lamb karhai was loaded up with large pieces of onions and peppers which we had to pick around to get to the small amount of lamb there was (see photo). Although advertised as medium strength it had a strange bland sauce that was nothing like a curry taste with little spice or heat. A kharai should be a strong tasting, spicy dry dish. The tandoori butter chicken dish had some sort of strange shredded chicken, no hint of the tandoori. It was more like a basic korma dish (see photo). If the above wasn't enough, all the food was lukewarm and served in plastic tubs rather than the foil containers which tend to keep the heat in for longer. We ordered the meal as a Saturday night treat to finish off a weekend away. We tried to eat the meal as we were very hungry but left most of it on our plates. At £46 for a meal we threw most of away, and with the cost of living leading us to have to consider spending our money very carefully, we will certainly never risk ordering from here again. I can cook a better curry at home but I wouldn't claim to be a specialist like this resteraunt does.

Best Indian food we had in Sheffield. Good quantity and quality food.

2&galf hr wait. Then it’s was cold. Very watery 1st and last time for me

Lovely apart from I ordered a lamb korma but got chicken

The meal I ordered went in the bin, I couldn’t even cut through the onion bhajis as they were so tough !

Fast delivery, Starter was good, curry and rice was bland, Keema nan was like a pizza and not in the middle of the bread

I know korma is a subtle flavour but it tasted of literally nothing. So disappointing

Another excellent curry + service, Pickle tray & pops always great with extra mint sauce, Prawn Puree and Mixed Kebab went down a treat. Lovely Pathia, Korma, Vindaloo and Karahi with rice and naan. Thank you again that was our 3rd Saturday on the trot keep our seats warm please.

The vegetarian dishes from here are incredibly tasty - potentially the best I've had in the past five years of not eating meat. I've tried the Lentil Makhani (an absolute fave), a tumeric aubergine dish, and two dishes with your cheese. All were great! Thanks and I'll definitely be back!

Another great night out at Zaras. The chicken chaat starter, madras hot was amazing and the Murgh Kali Mirch was as good as ever. Rice was nice and fluffy and the naan was good too.

Excellent meal all round from the pops with superb choice of pickle tray and plenty of mint sauce, amazing prawn puree and fantastic mains including chilli chicken, madras and pathia. Thank you for looking after us, we will definitely be back.

Ordered a takeaway for collection. Missing parts of the order Said they would send out. Not great when we had collected the food. Very disappointing not sure that we will order anything again

60£ an it was awful I hope jaflong reopens this place is shocking!!!

Delicious and piping hot. Will definitely be ordering again.

Had no warning via app that food was on way or even arrived, very early so want expecting driver and was called to say driver sat outside. Starters were rock hard and inedible couldn’t even cut with a knife. Would have broken my teeth! Curry fine , rice lovely and Nann bread was like leather!

Well…order came with no poppadoms & a garlic naan instead of plain naan…rubbish! Regards David…
