Zaynab in Babergh

We ate here tonight. The food was excellent. All six of us thoroughly enjoyed our dishes. Great service. Would 100% recommend!

I had dinner here one night whilst I was working in the area. The food was really good and the staff were friendly and polite. I would eat here again

I have been to this restaurant a few times and each time the food is amazing. Lovely presentation, tasty dishes with great flavour and a slightly more contemporary feel than the generic Indian restaurant. Access and parking is easy and booking isn’t always required. I have also had takeaway on one occasion - the order was correct and still enjoyable although nothing is quite the same as dining in. It has now become an ideal mid point restaurant for friends and I. Great service and a great place.

WOW WOW WOW! Absolutely amazing! What a pleasurable experience! Some of the best food ive ever had! The red onion sauce was divine , the prawns were succulent and juicy , the mrs thoroughly enjoyed her biriyani , honestly top top marks for this wonderful restaurant! Amazing attentive staff! Will 1000% be coming again! Thanks again Zeynab!

Really tasty food with a good choice. Excellent and discreet service. Went there early evening so not too many diners, but that was good as we probably had more attentive service! Would definitely recommend.

Lovely restaurant, and service was excellent! We had a wonderful time and the food was divine.

Weve recently moved to Capel and finally got to ZayNab - Absolutely outstanding, the best Indian we've had in years. Yes it's more expensive but my word it's delicious- staff are superb. Well worth the money - We will be back

Zaynab curry house was quite off the beaten track. When we arrived it was packed as there was an Elvis tribute singer. They managed to squeeze us in and I'm so glad they did because this was the best evening. The food was superb, with the chicken tikka masala being perhaps the best of a good bunch. Service was fast, friendly and efficient, even more so when you consider the number of customers. This is quite a big restaurant and had been done up like a party. Sal Bashir, Elvis legend, was running the show. Whether you wanted to don a white tuxedo, excessive sideburns or brilcream, this show was the highlight of our trip. And we really enjoyed the meal.

We would highly recommend Zeynab. You should go. We booked for 8 of us with family who live close by and go fairly regularly. There were a range of tastes (3 kids) which were catered for admirably. It was great food, delivered at our pace and with a smile and a joke. Thank you. It was a great evening.

The food was excellent, and it was all served with charm and professionalism. The staff were delightful and dinner couldn’t have been better. Definitely the best curry house in the area.

This was our second meal at ZAYNAB, the reason we came back was because of the quality of the service and food that we were served. Freshly cooked, great tasting, good quality Indian cuisine. A must try if you live in the area.

Excellent service, great food, definitely the best Indian restaurant in Suffolk, sure to go back again

Had a takeaway the best Danzak we have ever tasted. We Zaynab live quite away from Zaynab but was well worth the trip.

Food was very nice but service was very poor. Waiters not around most of the time and we’re quite inattentive. Also watch out for pricing. They charge £3.60 for a small glass of tap water!!! Probably best for takeaway as food was good and that way you can avoid the shocking service.

Great food, great service. This is our second visit in two weeks. Very nice staff. We highly recommend and will be back.

We’ve never stopped before, and we thought the food was a cut above anything we could find in our local neighbourhood in London. The menu was interesting and the food was delicious. I can recommend the lamb shank.

Amazing atmosphere, authentic delicious food and excellent service with an additional star for the free chocolates with the bill! We’ll be back soon! 😊

Wonderful restaurant! Delicious authentic food, lovely staff and really nice atmosphere. Brilliant service! We’ll be back very soon.

The food as always was excellent, not rushed and the service superb. Always amazed that the restaurant is busy mid-week . Super food and super service, well worth trying and seeing for yourself

Lovely setting - lovely staff - fantastic food range & average prices. We’ve been a few times & the quality of the food has never let us down.

Casual evening out with friends - friendly efficient service and delicious food! Great choice on the menu - all four of us had different main courses and a choice of sides - everything was so fresh and tasty - I had chicken NumNum and it...

We go here fairly regularly and are always reminded of the superior quality of their food compared to other local Indian restaurants and takeaways. The staff are always really attentive and friendly.

Visited on Saturday for the first time with my family and was nicely surprised by how lovely the decor was inside. The staff are very attentive, friendly and easy to talk to. We ordered lots of different dishes and all were served hot and delicious,...

My family and I have eaten at Zaynab several times (in the restaurant and collected as a takeaway) and I can honestly say the food is second to none! I consider myself on the fussy side when it comes to dining out/takeaways yet I am...

We visit Zaynab regularly or get a takeaway. The food is really tasty not greasy like some, very pleasant staff and you can always get a table. The Sunday buffet is one of the best we've had. Would highly recommend this restaurant nothing is too...

There are a lot of Indian restaurants near Ipswich/Colchester and I’ve tried almost all of them. With Zaynab the food is always amazing, the service is super fast and the staff are really polite! I made a special request on behalf of my girlfriend, (she...

I’ve never been before, even though I live in the village. The food was amazing and really tasty! I will definitely be returning again soon!!! (Didn’t take photos of main courses as was too busy talking!) Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere with good and really...

Great food and service, with really friendly and welcoming staff, best place for your curry around the area and a great atmosphere, would definitely recommend.

Amazing food as always. Family meal out. Made to feel very welcome, drinks and poppadoms arrived quickly. Mains were out of this world. Tried the lamb balti and best I’ve ever eaten. Highly recommend this restaurant and myself and family will be back!

Me and my partner went for Valentines night as we’ve been Zaynabs a few times and love it, we’re both avid Indian food lovers so we know our stuff! It seriously does not disappoint. The service is brilliant and the food is wonderful. Full of...

1st visit here and decided to eat in rather than takeaway as the place had a nice buzz. Food was delicious, staff were friendly and efficient, restaurant clean and modern. Will definitely eat there again.

The ambience in this restaurant is fantastic and the music sets a really nice vibe. The food is the BEST Indian cuisine I have ever had, full of flavour, not greasy and the portion sizes and presentation are so worth the money. The friendly staff...

My husband and I came here as we were visiting family. The staff were so friendly and the food was exceptional. Wish we lived nearer, will definitely come again when we are next visiting.

Excellent service, excellent food and thoroughly enjoyable evening! Zaynabs does fantastic take always but the restaurant itself is superb. Best Indian in the area by a long way. Genuine and authentic recipes. Will be back!

We were here last Friday evening and were greeted well as soon as we arrived in the early evening. The food was quality, fresh and very tasty. Service excellent and a lovely atmosphere. Will be back!

10/10 would highly recommend. Friendly staff and amazing food. Really nice ambient restaurant 5* Definitely coming back

I have been here on a couple of occasions with my husband, the food is actually the best I have had, it is clean tasting, fresh and superbly cooked to perfection. The staff are attentive and the atmosphere is relaxed, the best Indian restaurant by...

Another fantastic visit to Zaynab. Probably the best Indian meal I have ever had. A recommendation from Sam, brilliant.

Great service as always , best Indian around ! The food was hot and beers cold , couldn’t recommend any more !

We are lucky to live only 10 minutes away from this lovely restaurant. All staff are friendly and professional. The food is always tasty and full of flavour. If you want a dish a little hotter/more spicy… not a problem. Equally if you want it...

The meal was amazing, from starter to main. The service was also fantastic! I will definitely be visiting again

Really tasty food, had the Tandoori Chicken to start and the Chicken Dhanzak which was full and glorious. Well done Zaynab. Great restaurant.

Picked up a takeaway from here as I normally do and it never lets me down. I was greeted by Sam and was very friendly and the food was warm and beautiful. By far the best place around for a curry. Don’t waste your time...

Everything about this restaurant is on point. I tell all my friends and family to come here because everything is so nice here. Especially the food. Every time I either dine in or get a takeaway the food is superb. It's always super fresh and...

Visited 14th January for a takeaway. Excellent food and friendly efficient service. I have been frequenting this restaurant for over 4 years and the food has always been of a high standard. Highly recommended!

Food is amazing, really friendly staff and a good evening, really good when the nights are hosted and a good laugh for all.

Great food and service. Gets busy at weekends and takeaways are excellent too. Nice atmosphere and we visit regularly.

We have been regulars at Zaynab for a couple of years. The food and service has generally been great, until our most recent visit. When we dined here as a family last month, the waiter who attended to us (smiley / slightly large build /...

Very disappointed in the food this visit. King prawn starter over cooked and tough. Felt rushed to get to main meal. When Chicken arrived was like leather and very bland. Not offered desert as staff dealing with 2 large groups so everyone else got ignored....

My parents and I attended this Restaurant in Capel St Mary for the first time with longtime friends this week for a special birthday. We all enjoyed our meals, and the ambience and atmosphere were great with traditional Indian music being played in the Restaurant....

I have taken Tandoori King Prawn & Tandoori Chicken. Both are so yummy and delecious. Probably the best one in Capel Saint Mary.

Take-away food. Very expensive for what was delivered. The Garlic Calamari for starters (just under £7) for a small tub of, again what looked like a thin stew, with a few thin ribbons of squid in. Bland, oily, non-discript. Couldn't understand how this could be...

When I first came here I thought I'd make it my local but on my second return my son pointed out the VAT is added after as shown in small writing at bottom of menu. I did point out to the staff this is not...

We went here last night for a meal with family. The food was ok, nothing special at all, bland and very oily. I had a hot dish so flavour on that ok. The food came out like molten laver, seemed like it was heated up...

Friend took me on Friday 26 August Sat down at 7.15pm, all finished by 8pm that’s poppadoms, starter and main course each courses plus 4 beers ! Speed dating but with food ! Tandoori chicken raw in the middle Chicken biriani was tasteless Over rated,...

Went to the Sunday buffet, the food was tasteless, watery and not kept warm enough. The staff didn’t pay us any attention as too busy on their phones.

Unfortunately the reviews we read before visiting Zaynab for first time on Saturday were all good. We did have a lovely meal and enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant and were certainly intending to return. However, like so many have mentioned already the hidden VAT...

This was a return trip after the pandemic and to be honest it was a little disappointing, Service was not up to previous standards. Food was up to the expected standards but prices had increased significantly, not great value for money now.

Food is good, as usual, but the prices have got silly. As other reviewers have said, the addition of the vat is dreadful. When the pandemic was on, they received the benefit of reduced vat but never passed it on. Another lost customer

Returned to Zaynab after the pandemic food was just as great as always but WATCH OUT VAT NOW ADDED TO THE BILL now really expensive meal out will not return which is a great pity as the food is wonderful

Food at this restaurant is fabulous, service good! Have been visiting here for the last 4 years but unfortunately no longer!! They have now made their menu VAT exclusive so bill has 20% added such a shame as this means we will no longer be...

2nd time going and food was very nice again yet felt a bit robbed being asked to pay 20% VAT after on top of what i thought was the prices as not included on menu prices. Making the meal over priced. This is a bit...

Excellent food. Freshly cooked and perfectly spiced. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Restaurant was modern and welcoming

Posted as terrible as aware these are all people mostly read, the food was actually ok but . . . despite the quality of the food the prices in the menu excludes VAT - is this a thing outside builders yards? Admittedly it was in...

I had heard a lot of good things about this place, but I was underwhelmed. The interior is very nice and the staff were all very smart. The service was very friendly but a bit disorganised. Sadly the food wasn't great. The curries we had...

Ordered a takeaway for a special family occasion. Whilst the meat eaters enjoyed the meat curries the rest of the family found the dishes quite watery and with little flavour. Consistency of curry was more like a lumpy vegetable soup. Rice,naan and side order were...

I left a fantastic review when this restaurant first opened; 7 or 8 years later it’s still brilliant. Best mixed biryani in Britain! Great atmosphere and super service. Especially from Sam with his keen sense of humour! 😀. Keep it up !!

V expensive for takeaway and mostly tasteless. 2 out of 3 curries had almost no flavour Runny, thin sauce, watery Wouldn't bother going to get food from there again

This restaurant deserves the five starts given. The service by Sam was excellent and the food was outstanding. I could not fault it in any way and would highly recommend.

Family of 4 plus friends went there on Sunday Everyone left happy. Would like to see less oil on my meals but they were extremely tasty 😋

Probably the best Indian restaurant in Suffolk, if not the UK. Superb food and always a friendly welcome. This was another takeaway (almost now a weekly ritual given it's so good). Even with a 10% recent price increase this is still great value for the...

I have eaten in many Indian cuisine restaurants and had many an Indian takeaway but WOW I have never ever tasted such superb food. The chef is a genius the individual flavours in every mouth full were to die for. The staff are very attentive...

Recommended from a neighbour, we ordered a takeaway tonight. On collection, very friendly staff and complimentary beer to take home. The restaurant looked very nice and the food smelt amazing! Got home with a huge order and it did not disappoint! The best ever Indian...
