Zazaz Indian Restaurant in Stoke-on-Trent

OMG NEVER AGAIN , ORDER A KEBAB THE CHICKEN WAS SO DRU I HAVE NEVER ATE SOMETHING THAT DRY IN MY LIFE WASTE OF MONEY . THE CHIPS WAS LITERALLY NOT EVEN MADE . Disgusting. 🤮

this place closed down few years ago

This restaurant has now ceased trading

Sorry, I was not in zazas, but cross the street in Peter's tavern

The restaurant is no longer open unfortunately, they have closed down, as they weren't doing too well..

I am in love with ZAZAZ food. Your food is very tasty. I would love to come back again to enjoy the yummilicious food:)

Amazing taste… just love their food.

Turned up for confirmed online reservation and the restaurant was closed and in darkness. Very disappointed having paid car parking, most unprofessional 😕

Fantastic service and all food finished. Would definitely come again.

Turned up to eat with my friend. nobody inside the restaurant which rung alarm bells. Ordered a chicken Balti which was honestly the worst curry I’ve EVER had! No taste what so ever. The rice looked like it was dug up out of the ground! Full of grease which the chef told me was caused by the coriander and basil they then offered to make another one will NEVER eat here again. My friend had a peshwari naan which was full of pink sugar!!!! Absolutely disgusting.

Very good value, large portions, really nice food. Friendly staff and attentive.

2nd time visiting here, the guy behind the bar is excellent, food was good, However I am from Balti central in Birmingham and felt the balti could have been a tad spicier. Naan bread was huge, food piping hot. Visited before a show at the Theatre opposite. I would come back again if passing this way.

Very polite manager and staff I thought the meal was nice, however they do have spice in what you thought would be a yogurt dip, which was a bit of a shock and also do not do egg fried rice. I had tikka masala and partner had lamb Balti. He said he enjoyed it but a little salty. We ordered four drinks and the meal was about 50 pound. The manager was attentive and very funny. Overall a nice little meal as the restaurant is over road from theatre. They serve alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks.

Great service, polite staff, very unusual to have spice in yogurt dip for popadoms! Anyone who doesn’t like a lot of spice will have a shock. We ordered off the set menu, I ordered mushroom rice and my husband ordered pilau rice! We received egg fried rice. My madras Curry had the same spice heat as the yogurt dip and my husband had tinned carrots, tinned potatoes and tinned runner beans in his vegetarian madras. Disappointed

3 rd time here when going the theatre x the guy serving and behind bar is excellent xx food fab x service great xx price ace no complaints xx will be back xxx

Quirky Indian restaurant, food is well presented and the staff are fabulous. Would have no hesitation in recommending this as a great place to eat.

Food was so lovely, they play brilliant 80s music and the staff are so polite! I’d highly recommend this place!

Horrible weather, snow falling and needed a curry delivered. Came on time, no fuss, very tasty,great value. Top place I recommend them whole heartedly. Too full to move l. Thanks guys

Good food, decent prices and friendly staff. Would go again when in area

Ordered a takeaway from here last night and was not impressed! Basically I ordered the mixed grill and lamb chops (something I had ordered previously) for some strange reason I was given less lamb chops, less mushrooms and the ‘lamb tikka’ was basically the curry lamb they decided to mix in to it! I could tell by the taste and texture that it was the curry lamb and not the lamb tikka meat I had ordered! I know it’s a Saturday guys but I paid a portion of lamb chops and a mixed grill! Won’t be ordering from here again! They have lost a valuable customer!

Great food, best balti I've ever had! Compliments to the chef Babul. Service is also great, fab atmosphere. Given a brilliant service by waiter Ben. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Found this place last night. What a hidden gem. Staff were friendly, lovely restaurant and the food was out of this world. Definitely a place we will be returning to.

With a performance booked at the Regent Theatre opposite, we were in a hurry to find a suitable place to eat, and with no visible restaurants close by (aside from the pizza place, which was fully booked), were in part drawn in by the early bird menu. (£12.99 for two courses). The gentleman looking after the bar and taking the orders assured us that there would be enough time to eat, and there was - just! He advised on the different dishes, we had poppadoms and chutneys whilst waiting, and our starters arrived promptly, beautifully presented with yogurt dips and salad. The mains were all very much enjoyed and were exactly as had been described; tasty, colourful and well-presented. Our only problem was that we had to hurry our food - no fault at all of the restaurant - so hope to return in better time on another occasion to try some of the other dishes from a more varied menu.

Had a mixed platter for four people on Friday, was presented beautifully. The curries were just as good, very tasty and full of flavour. Everything is freshly made including the naans and they have a wide range of drinks. Perfectly place for a meeting with friends and the manager is a real gent.

Great service. Amazing food. Some of the best Indian food on offer in Stoke. Highly recommend and will keep coming back. Hidden gem.

I visited Zazaz with my family on the weekend. This place has - by far - the best Indian food in Stoke-on-Trent. Absolutely fantastic. Welcoming and friendly staff and in a great location. I'll definitely be returning.

Called in with 3 friends on the 2nd November 2018 and we all agreed what excellent quality the food was. Friendly and helpful staff, great value and terrific food. Highly recommended !

I was staying at a local hotel with my children and didn't fancy eating at the hotels Brewers Fare so my son googled local Indian restaurants. Zazaz had some great reviews so we gave it a try. Ben the manager made my children feel really special and the food was fresh and full of flavor. Thoroughly worth a visit, and no Deli Belly in the morning!!!

Great service, lovely food and Ben made it even better with selection of music and friendly gestures

Having read the reviews for this restaurant I booked having quiet high expectations. All in all the whole experience was disappointing. Upon arriving even though it was a Saturday evening the restaurant was pretty empty. From down stairs the restaurant looked ok but have to say upon visiting the toilets i was pretty shocked. The whole area was filthy and doors etc were in need of a good scrub. Some maintenance was certainly required. Carpets and floors were dirty. Service was disorganised and it took a while to get everything we had ordered so we could eat. Food was sat on the table going cold. All in all all i can say about the food was it was just ok, nothing special and the accompanying pickles were quite strange tasting. The manager was very polite and friendly but this was My only positive. Dont think We will be returning.

Food perfect what more can i say ..

Came to eat at around 5.30pm after watching a very enjoyable show of Benidorm at the theater. Starters garlic mushrooms (which could have been a bit more garlicky) chicken tika, which was quite spicy but enjoyable. Mains lamb curry on the bone was delicious, chicken tikka Marsala, pilaf rice and a plain nan. Very enjoyable, staff were very good.

Great little Indian Restaurant, only popped in as we didn't know the area & it was the 1st place we came to, glad we did. Food was very tasty & fresh, nice service & good value for money.

Popped in here between Shows whilst at the theatre. Despite being ever so slightly early we were welcomed and seated quickly.

I travel across the UK for work and eat in many Curry restaurants. Zazaz is definitely worth visit. The food way lovely and full of flavour and the staff were very friendly.

Fantastic jalfrezi. Very tasty and fresh but be warned, the dishes are a little hotter than other places. Nice atmosphere and friendly chap that served us

Visited here before show. Only shown 1 simple menu, but it was more than adequate choice at good price. Very friendly service.Quick but not rushed service. Although it has an upstairs, by the time we left it was full downstairs. A very good sign. An excellent location for the theatres.You don't need to look elsewhere. By the way... the food was lovely!!

We were looking for some where to eat and having not been able to get in to our first choice we came across Zazaz. We had not been in before so took a chance. So glad we did the service was great and the food was excellent. This was a quiet Bank holiday Monday. We chose the Early Bird menu which seemed good value for money. When the food arrived it was excellent really tasty and good sized portions. I agree with others this is 5 star food.

I have rated this place on quality of food and serving sizes for a minimal price, especially worth the early bird which was 2 courses for a tenner.

We came across the restaurant tonight after a matinee at the Regent theatre. We ate from the early bird menu and found it excellent value. We had a warm welcome from the friendly staff and the food was well presented and full of flavour. Everything was clearly freshly prepared and the portions were a generous size. The poppadoms came with a good variety of dips, our starters were excellent and came with a fresh side salad with a honey and onion seed dressing. We both had the traditional lamb on the bone curry for our main course and it was beautifully tender, tasty and spicy with just the right anount of heat. The meal exceeded our expectations and we will definitely return.

I live abroad but originally from Stoke and get one night up Hanley and I always visit this place fantastic staff and the food is 5 star highly recommended great night last night

Amazing food .... stunned as to why more people don't know about this restaurant #stokesbeatkeptsecret

The food was excellent fresh ingredients, dutifully cooked, far better than I have eaten for a long time in an Indian restaurant. Your welcome is a warm one and I felt really at home. Thank you to the owner and staff.

Great spot to eat authentic Indian Food.

At long last! Proper Indian food, as it is meant to be. Straight from the limited menu and from the poppadoms served with homemade accompaniments, I suspected this was not a standard curry house (i.e. with one, overly sweet and overly creamy base sauce recycled for all dishes on the menu). Traditional chicken curry, cooked on the bone, was by far the best curry I have had in a restaurant, and genuinely traditional, as was the pilau rice. Great food, friendly service. Thank you again!

Proper Indian food, as it is meant to be. Straight from the limited menu and from the poppadoms served with homemade accompaniments, I suspected this was not your standard curry house, with one, overly sweet and overly creamy base sauce recycled for all the 150 curries on the menu. The traditional chicken curry, cooked on the bone, was by far the best curry I have had in a restaurant (and almost better than my mother in law's - safe in the knowledge that she will never read this ;-) and so was the pilau rice. Great food, friendly and professional service. Thank you again!

A pretty good restaurant. Service is ok. Pilau rice was bad on the day. Curries and naan breads were excellent

Venlig vært og rimelig hurtig betjening, vi var de eneste i restauranten. Fint krydret på indisk vis. Rimeligt sted ,måske lidt i de.slidte ende, i ellers noget nedslidt område.

We wanted a curry house close to the Theatre before our show and we couldnt of been any closer than Zazars, it what right accross the street. The service was prompt and staff attentitive. The food was delicious and the 3 of us all enjoyed what we ordered. We also had the benifit of ordering from the early bird menu, 2 courses for just under £13 each with rice or nan bread. Overall a very enjoyable dinning experience, we will definatley be returning at some point.

We popped in after an evening in the regent theatre opposite so glad we did... Food was wonderful staff attentive but not a pest and we were able to enjoy a fabulous meal without interruption or constant compliments being fished for would definitely return next time in Stoke for evening

I stumbled on this place on my first visit to Stoke and went again on my second visit to see if it was still as good. It was! I ate the traditional on-the-bone lamb dish as my main course. It was terrific - just like home-made. I was made very welcome and the service was good. If I'm in Stoke again this is where I'll eat.

A pre dinner show, opposite the Regent, we normally head up into town for a bite to eat, but it was raining so we gave Zaraz a go, so glad we did. We had the earlier bird meal deal, a choice of five starters and five mains with a choice of rice or nan bread, or one of each as there were two of us. Very tasty food, served quickly and nicely presented. We won't need it to be raining for us to go there again, try it it's a little gem with authentic Indian cooking (and the chicken tikka has no artificial colouring, it's no a nasty bright red colour like other places but how a tikka should be). See you again Zazaz

We went for dinner on a Tuesday night, the only customers in the place all evening - food was absolute delight, we were apprehensive as the menu looked limited, went for traditional curry with sides - was absolutely delicious. Staff initially a bit shy but by the end of the meal chatting and made us feel really welcome - the best evening of our stay - thanks Zazaz

A fantastic meal as always, great food and a great friendly service, nothing is too much for the helpful and pleasant staff. I had to book early as the pre/post theatre public get there first😜

On 4th November my wife and I went to Stoke. from Chester, to attend a performance by The ELO Experience at the Regent Theatre in the city centre.

to complete the theatre booking we deciced to have a pre show meal found zazaz. The resteraunt is clean the manager and staff were very helpfull and answered any questions we had about the menu. we didnt have to wait very long before our meals arrived which looked and tasted awesome . a very plesant relaxed and enjoyable place to eat we would recommend zazaz for anyone wanting a pre show meal and will deffo be going there again thanx to zazaz

We chose this venue for our post beer festival curry based on trip adviser reviews. We weren't disappointed, the service was fantastic and the food was great. Would definitely recommend and go there again

We have had two take away meals from here. Both were of a very high standard and the quality was great. Very tasty and generous with the lovely soft pieces of chicken, and flaky rice!

Visited here for the first time. I went with my other half who ordered a vegetable balti and I had chicken jalfrezi and we shared pilau rice and a garlic nan. The food was freshly cooked and mine had great succulent pieces of chicken. The rice and nan were beautiful. One of the best jalfrezis I have had and my partner said that hers was very nice. The restaurant is very well decorated and the staff are very pleasant, easy to approach and very willing to have a chat. I would definitely recommend a visit and will definitely be going back and will be trying their takeaway service.

This place is like stoke's hidden treasure. Staff that properly look after you and food that is out of this world. Enormous portions of amazing and unusual cuisine. The chef has more than thirty years of experience and when you get talking to him he's a top bloke. Very welcoming and homely atmosphere.

dropped in for a curry after an evening of pokemon hunting, the staff were great and the food was amazing, just the recharge we needed!

Fantastic food ! Piping hot and very tasty , great staff love love love this place :) the owner is very friendly can highly recommend this resturant very good value for money

As stated above the location of Zazas is ideal if you are visiting the regent theatre. I cannot praise this place enough. Warm and friendly welcome, prompt and polite service and superb food. I will definitely be visiting again.

Had a really nice meal in here before the theatre and very much enjoyed it. The curries were superb and good value for money. The service was friendly and attentive and the food arrived quickly. Would definitely eat here again!

Went with my sister on 7/5/16 before we went to the theatre, first thing we noticed on entry was the none uniform staff, there clothes needed a good iron, from there it only got worse, our starters were run of the mill, and our mains were no better than a supermarket curry, the Nan bread ...well even supermarkets are better, we could only purchase rose wine by the bottle, but were offered blush by the glass, over all we defiantly will not be going again, Some businesses don't realise what they have got, right opposite a busy theatre, and they can't pride themselves to get people coming back, Shame.

Worst meal ever, balti was just like a bowl of grease with 3 pieces of chicken in it. Nan bread was stodgy with oil poured all over the top. Shall never go there again

Starter and overall service very good. However the main course was not so good. Swimming in oil, I had to leave my food. In all fairness to the manager I got reimbursed for my main meal but it's scant consolation when you go out for a curry, expecting to have an enjoyable meal. Not many people in the place either.

Excellent - best Indian meal for years, food freshly prepared, not frozen as with so many Indian Restaurants staff friendly . Good wine list . Meal for two with a bottle of wine came to £42. Highly recommended

We have now had two takeaways within a week and both were exceptional. The speed of delivery via Just Eat was excellent. As for the main event, the quality and taste of the food was superb. The Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Tamarind were out of this world. The taste was divine. Likewise the traditional Chicken and Lamb curry on our second order were just sensational. Cannot wait to visit the restaurant in person. Salivating at the thought

Been here lots of times definitely my favourite restaurant when in Stoke on Trent. The owners and staff are very friendly even when busy. I have known the owners for years and must say having worked in there kitchens before they are always spotlessly clean. The meal was lovely traditional cuisine popadoms followed by a mixed platter starter to share and my favourite chicken tikka BALTI with extra mushroom and spinach kema rice and a chapati. We were stuffed and all for a reasonable price.

We found this restaurant on tripadvisor so thought it would be worth a visit! My husband, brother and I were not disappointed! The owner was very informative and gave a lot of information about the fresh and well balanced ingredients!

Five of us went to see The Full Monty at The Regency Theatre, and wanted to eat afterwards. Stoke is a little short of dining choices at 10/10.30pm, but we found Zazaz virtually opposite the theatre.

Amazing little restaurant in the heart of the city centre

I visited Zazaz indian restaurant before visiting the regent which is opposite on a midweek evening a couple of months ago. There was no need to book a table and the staff on entering were very friendly and approachable. The food was served quickly and was of a good quality, the price is very reasonable for a city centre restaurant in a prime location in the cultural quarter of Hanley. I will use Zazaz again when visiting the regent theatre as it is ideally situated and pre booking was not required.

Very good service by the waiting on staff. Manager I think his name was Javid what a service excellent food. I recommend any body to go and try

A group of us visited here as we can use our taste card. The food is very good and very tasty. We had verious curry's, mild, medium and hot and every one of them were very tasty. Will definitely keep going back as the curry's are great and so is the service.

Wonderful food great atmosphere , recommend 100% :) very helpful staff loved the home cooking its was loverly

A beautiful ,clean restaurant with very attentive Staff.

Fantastic food very fresh and tasty. The staff are great and the service is excellent. I would definitely recommend zazaz to anyone who wants a proper authentic curry instead of the generic slop you get elsewhere. A great find.

Service was very good, very polite.. They couldn't of done any better 5* service... The food was amazing and great value for money... I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to know a great restaurant to visit... Great food, great people and a great place

Popped in here at 5pm between shows at the Regent. They do an early bird special which we all opted for, starter and main course £12.95.

Ate here in September 2015. The food was excellent and the closest I've ever found to authentic Indian cuisine since I visited the country, helped by the undoubtedly fresh ingredients. The staff were very attentive and really good with my 2 year old boy as well, eager to make special accomodations for him. Highly recommended.

Went there this evening for a 2 course early bird special deal. Wonderfully cooked food. Chilled out environment. Friendly and welcoming staff.
