Zengz in Solihull

Moved to the area in March so checked out the reviews of a wide range of takeaway/restaurants on here. Selected Zengz and was not disappointed. Yes, it took about an hour before our meal was ready for collection , but the results were fresh, tasty and delicious. Would highly recommend.

Ordered a takeaway from Zengs and was really impressed by the food and service. Will definitely be ordering again :-)

Ordered a family takeaway. Food was delicious, had an authentic taste, customer service was excellent

Ordered a takeaway for the family. We all really enjoyed our food. One to add to our list of favorites!

Great food & great management! Ordered a takeaway and have to say the food is just as great as dining in! I was pleased they were able to remain open as I am a regular at the restaurant! Abz and the team are personable and nothing is too much effort for them! Highly recommend!

Had a take away from them at the end of January, the food was amazing. The flavours were just right they altered the spice accordingly to how each member of the family wanted it. I absolutely loved the saag tikka special, there was something amazing about the flavours like I’ve never had before. If anyone wants a good Indian take away I would recommend this place 100% I can’t believe I didn’t know about this place sooner. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, I can’t wait for lockdown to be over just so I can dine in with my family! In the meantime il be happy with my take away from them.

Best Indian restaurant in the area, no doubt about it. Always a safe place to collect from, not on any third party delivery platforms either.Zengz avoided the Help Out to Eat Scheme, they stuck with collection & delivery only, this was a noble act to protect Staff & Customers alike, rather than chase money which many other restaurants chose to do over safety.Some customers have short memories, but Zengz has a very large, & loyal following which keeps coming back for more.

Unfortunately, on SEVERAL occasions now there have been issues. During Covid the manager has CRAMMED you in flouting any safety guidelines. Out takeaways have consisted of missing foods, uncooked foods or the wrong order. Don"t get me wrong we all make mistakes but the manage Abs at the Lode Lane restaurant is disgraceful. He most certainly will not except any criticism or complaint. He puts it straight back on the customer and becomes irate if you challenge him. He offers no apology. Shame really given the staff are pleasant and the food can be tasty. This is one restaurant I would not recommend but who knows if the managers learns a little more in the way of good customer care....there may be hope.

I had read the reviews and decided to try this place. To be honest I was very disappointed. Delivery of meal was an excessive amount of time. Wrong item received. Food bland and not very pleasant. Won't be using again.

Terrible service 3 hr wait to get vile tasting food. Wrong order. Threw away. Waste of money. Rude management. Expected better! Ok

Visited on the last Friday ahead of further restrictions (mixing of households). Service was a little slow for starters but worth the wait as we all really enjoyed our food and there were some different dishes on the menu. Lamb chop starters were excellent. Unlicensed and good prices, so a great value night out. Food was excellent and service was good with most waiters wearing masks. We were slightly uncomfortable however when we arrived about the comment 'don't worry about masks'

Good food thanks ! New in Solihull and First time here and I probably be back soon . Would recommend for sure ..

Don’t order a delivery..wont get what you ordered and paid for..then get spoken to rudely over the phone. PAID for £40 worth of food to have some dishes forgotten and delivered late and others denied even being ordered- no apology ‍♀️ Wouldn’t recommend - zero from me Loads of sauce not a lot of food

Lovely Indian Delivery, Special Starter for 2,followed by Chicken Tikka and Chicken Chisnea with Cocunut Rice (never seen this served anywhere) and Persgwari Naan. Nicest Takeaway we've had in ages. Would have given 5, delivery was 1hr,however it was worth the wait.

A safe place to eat in for all the family, this restaurant complies with all the social distancing requirements & guidelines. We all felt very comfortable to eat here, nicely spaced out tables, staff members kept their distance from each table whilst we were present. Staff are also happy to wear face masks if needed & hand sanitiser available too.

Great chicken Tikka pathia , garlic fried rice great keema nan great, no complaints from me , definitely no1 for takeaway

The food was actually really nice had the mussells starter and one of the king prawn signature dishes I can't remember the name of not the very best curry I've had but probably in the top 10% and very enjoyable. The service was by no means horrific the waiters were friendly when there but didn't ask about drinks after first order had to grab them as scurrying away from dropping food off and took nearly 45 minutes to get the bill after finishing despite it only being half full. Would probably go again but would describe it as very good rather than one of the best slightly more attentive service would go a long way to making this a 5 star also.

Me and my husband booked in for 5.45pm, as we arrived and were taken to the table we were asked if we could finished by 7pm. As we sat down the tablecloth was full of dirty marks but there wasn't anyone around to tell, the staff is very minimal. Our starters came and were OK but i had to ask twice to get our drinks. The mains were average but the vegetarian option was very small compared to my husbands meat based dish. It became very cramped as more customers were seated near us. The staff are friendly and the food is OK and the cost is average.

I visited with friends after reading the good reviews. The staff were quite friendly . My tandoori chicken starter was nice, my husband didn’t rate the shish kebab ( which he always has at Indian restaurants)A friend had crab cakes which were tiny and didn’t look too appealing. My salmon tikka main was very disappointing, a small portion of salmon which was supposed to come with salad ( a bit of shredded lettuce and a bit of red onion) The price was reasonable especially as it is a BYO but I would rather pay more for better food so won’t be returning.

We passed by and on the off chance asked if they had a table for 2 adults and 2 kids. 10 minute wait and we had a table. On valentine's day with no booking, brilliant. Made us feel welcome. Ordered starter, they tasted lovely. No waiting at all. Then on to the main course. The lamb curry was cooked really well. My partners partner's chicken bhuna tasted amazing. All the food was very tasty and portion size was more than enough. The owner took the time to come and talk to us. The place has a really nice atmosphere. 3 currys and starters and soft drinks for less than 40 pound. Great food amazing value. I will definitely be back very soon. Worth every penny!

We were a party of six and booked in advance. You need to as it is very popular. The service was very helpful and relaxed. The popodums were fresh and crispy. The starters were very tasty and the main courses were just superb. I had lamb madras. It was sumptuous. The bill was unbelievably cheap for all the dishes we had. It’s not licensed so if you need alcohol, take it. Would recommend water as your taste buds will love the flavours. We live 80 miles from this restaurant, but we are going back again. Fabulous!

Visited due to friend recommendation. I cannot say enough.amazing introduction on entrance. Staff on point, professional and attentive. Wide range of mouth watering dishes! Tried a few chicken and lamb dishes. Mmmmmmwwwwwow. Fresh made nan and roti. Highly reccomend. Big shout out to team and abz the manager!!!

We wanted to try somewhere new had a look at their reviews sounded good and we weren't disappointed. Food was fresh and tasted amazing not oily either which is all too common with Indian restaurants. Service from Ab and the team was faultless.

There are many places in Birmingham & Solihull for a good curry. There are several where you can get an excellent curry. There are however very few places where you can get Fine Indian Dining of the extremely high quality to be found at Zengz. We've been regulars here since the day it opened and have seen it grow in popularity while the food continues to be of the very highest quality .. at the same time the atmosphere remains friendly and informal .. so much more pleasant than a larger well known "party venue" curry house not far away. Abz the owner runs a tight ship and is often seen in the kitchen when not front of house , hence standards are consistently high. I would recommend you book on friday and saturday(it can and does get full, its only a small place) .. and the tuesday food deal is great value for money too. Zengz is not licensed but you just "take your own".. there is a very good off licence 3 doors down with beer wine and soft drinks at supermarket prices where Nash will give you a warm welcome!. Free parking right by the door (or just round the corner) . Whether you're a local or just visiting the area, I recommend you give Zengz a try , we have not yet found anywhere local beat it !

Recommend. Always good tasty Indian food whenever I’ve eaten here. Handy location 5 minute drive from Holiday Inn.

I visited this restaurant with a group of friends - we all had very different dishes and not one of us was left disappointed. Absolutely brilliant curry house and I would highly recommend anyone to try it!

Attended a celebratory meal here as part of a table of 14, the management were great with good communications, the staff were friendly and efficient.

We had a lovely meal at Zengz this evening.

First visit to Zengz last night. Superb menu, with both traditional and modern Indian food. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, good service. I had garlic Tandoori duck, which was excellent. Good prices too. Recommended - we’ll return.

Absolutely blown away by this little gem of a restaurant. Could fault nothing. Looks inviting from the outside and we received a warm welcome inside. Spotless including toilets. Tastefully decorated. Lovely ambiance. Service just as we like it. Food was the best we had tasted in a long time. Excellent presentation and piping hot. Tuesday is a special offer night. £9.99 for popadom and dips, choice of starter, main, rice or bread. We thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. Bring your own booze option was a nice surprise. Shop a couple of doors down to buy. Highly recommended.

6 of us went for a meal on a busy sat night yes they were busy and we had to wait a bit longer than we wanted to but the food is top quality we all had something different and no one could fault it . Few commented that it was a little hotter that they were used to but to me it was perfect. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. It's not licensed but they supply soft drinks and glasses for your own alcohol which we purchased from the outdoor a couple of doors down

Well we picked this restaurant two days ago as we are staying in crowne P birmingham airport. Please check this place out. Menu amazing. Service amazing. Food 11 out of 10. Thank you and we shall be back. A must for Indian food lovers

Great food and bring your own alcohol. Very busy so booking is advisable at weekends. Lovely and informative staff.

Indian food has a major foothold in every food sector in the UK from restaurant to take-away to fast-food to supermarkets to groceries and to home-cooking. Yet, many factors are resulting in the established ‘tailored for the British palate’ Indian food to head for and change to more authenticity and the tastes of regionalised cooking.

Passing by on a wet August early evening we were drawn by the clean stylish lines of Zengz and decided to try it out. An excellent decision as the service was attentive but without being intrusive and the food available was perfectly cooked with fresh herbs & spices enhancing and not masking the meal. I had lamb & my wife had Sea Bass with a shared lemon rice that were both highly enjoyable. After this first accidental visit we will be returning fairly quickly to explore further the exciting menu.

Excellent food, the shared starter platter was amazing. The food is brilliant, fantastic tasty curry. Everything is made to order no issue to make your curry bespoke. Only found this restaurant in June and already been 4 times.

Had some decent food takeaways sitdowns etc...it’s been the best after the best but recent takeaway all the food was sweet!! Not good sorry but I like flavour not sugar 🥴🥴

As part of a Curry Club, we visit different venues each month. Zengz is one of our favourites. The food is freshly cooked, prices are good value and the service is friendly. It's in our top 3 for the Solihull area.

We tried Zengz on the recomendation of a local resident, we were not disappointed, booking is advised as it's only a small place, they managed to accommodate myself and 9 other business associates at the last minute, the staff are friendly, spotless hygiene, the food was some of the best the whole group had ever tasted , full of flavour and perfectly cooked, often the kitchen door was left open so you could watch your food being cooked, quite reasonably priced for the area, remember to bring your own alcohol or you can buy it from the off licence next door, soft drinks are available, thank you Zengz we shall be back.

Zengz offer a wide selection of food, some of which are alternative to the standard typical Indian menu and are very tasty. Staff are extremely polite and the food is beautiful. We'll be back again......

I visited Zengz a couple of weeks back and the food was fantastic for me that means nothing, consistency is key. Now after a few visits tonight and tonight what can say... the best Indian I’ve ever had? A brummie born and bred I know my curry’s and zengz was fantastic the food was delicious, tasty and fresh.

Love the food never had a bad meal . A little too cramped though it's a pity they can't expand ,too many tables for such a small room to be comfortable . Also not liking being over charged . We have been over charged now 3 times in a row . The reason we have been given for this each time ,is that the Menu Prices are out of date ! ! Please update them then ,this is very misleading to Customers .

Visited this place on 26th april 2019 with 2 friends. Not a very big place but the food was brilliant, i can honestly say ive had loads of curries over the years but this one was by far the best ive ever eaten. Service was superb, nice atmos, price very reasonable. You take your own drinks as well.My friends were equally impressed as well. Will defo be going again. Great place.

Six of us went there on Good Friday. What a great restaurant, lovely ambience, really helpful and friendly staff. Food was delicious. Excellent value. Deciding what to eat from the many tempting dishes on the menu was hard, so we'll have to go again to try other options

Excellent service. Food is always delicious. This restaurant is highly recommended for service, excellent fresh food, quality and value for money, small but cosy! They also welcome you to take your own drinks. Compliments to the chefs, waiters and management. Kind regards Harrison.

Beent to Zengz a couple of times now. Very small and could do with a lick of paint but the food is just lovely. Not greasy like some curry's. I have always been when its been empty but friends tell me it does get busy. Can bring your own drink to which is always a bonus. Would recommend definitely on food alone. Thanks Zengs!

Visited this small but sensational Restaurant last night with my wife; we arrived without booking and the place was full. The very charming waiter told us to come back in 10 minutes and he would have a table for us. The 10 minutes passed very quickly and went back to a freshly laid table waiting for us. We came here once last year as we visited Birmingham NEC. We picked this Restaurant out of many because of the good reviews. Last year we certainly enjoyed every mouthfuls of the delicious food they offer and again this time we were not disappointed. I just wish we had a Restaurant like Zengz near were we live in Essex!! Thank you for the great food and hospitality

Lovely food and very friendly service, restaurant is cozy and good value. Will definitely be back again

Came for an evening meal with friends, starter a bit dry - but main course excellent. Service was just about ok, but both waiters, though efficient, we’re not exactly friendly or overflowing with charm !

Dropped into Zengz with a colleague and we were the only ones there bar another couple. Great food, quiet but courteous service. Popped my head in the kitchen as we paid (since *if* it was quiet it should be clean) and it was absolutely spotless with a chef prepping in the rear.

Thank you Zengz for my chicken Pathia and fried rice... Even though you gave my collection to some other man who was collecting his own order.

We are very much a curry family. We KNOW a good curry when we find one having sampled hundreds of places and being Midlands based we have ladypool road as well as many more.

My wife and I called in after reading the positive reviews. Zengz is a small and friendly restaurant. I always go with a recommended dish on a first visit. I have to admit, I was somewhat disappointed with my starter and not overwhelmed with the main. On the recommendation of the owner, I ordered a King Prawn starter. This consisted of a pile of fried onions and mushrooms with half a dozen small prawns. There was virtually zero spicing and this dish was somewhat greasy. My main was Lamb Naga curry. Personally, I believe it should have been listed as Onion Naga. Sure the flavour was there but the lamb amounted to half a dozen 2cm cubes. My wife's selections fared slightly better but her salmon starter was over cooked. On a positive note, this restaurant is 'bring your own alcohol'. Therefore the meal didnt break the bank.

4th year running and still bang on with delicious food. Abz (The owner) has and is, achieving quality and consistancy over time, no easy task. Well done to the team. A big thumbs up. Highly recommended. Wil be back soon.... Peugeot Scooters UK.

food was great really tasty. staff could have been more friendly. small place very cosy. manager was very help. enjoyed the visit

Visited Zengz for the first time after my daughter recommended it. There was 9 of us and my 1 year old grandson. The food was fantastic really tasty and served hot . The staff were friendly and attentive and really made us feel welcome. I could not believe what the bill was at the end fantastic value for money . I will definitely be going back.

We ordered a take away from Zengz as the reviews suggested this was the best place to go to locally. The food was fantastic piping hot and so flavorsome. We had the platter for two to start. (My thinking was my wife won't eat all hers and i'll get more to eat. Well she did). I had a Lamb Balti and my wife had a Lamb Rogon. Both were really tasty and had a nice spice to them (Not really hot but a nice kick). The only criticism would be the naan bread was a little dense i would have liked them a little lighter, but these have been highly praised by other reviewers so i may have just had them at the wrong time. This will certainly not stop me going back in fact this makes me want to go back as next time it could be better. WOW can't wait now.

My car broke down last night, me and my son had been at an autism event, as jack has autism. I phoned the RAC and they told me I would have to wait for 1 hour 20 minutes. My phone was really low on power so I approached the staff in Zengz and asked if anyone had a charger. They immediately went to get one of their car. They invited us to sit and wait. They then bought some chips for my son and a drink. It was very stressful and after the time stated the rac still hadn’t come. I was then told that they would not be there for at least another hour. Jack was starting to have a meltdown. All of the staff were amazing and would highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you all so much. We will never forget your kindness!

Been a long time customer at Zengz restaurant, but not had a take away as I always feel take away/ delivery curries are different from eat in . Well .. Trust me take away is as good as eat in . Love it here , so as I've said before … Try it you'll like it .

Food and service was lovely! Had a spicy chicken dish, which they warned me was very hot and it was! Lovely though. Good portion sizes too.

Excellent service, food was delicious. Chicken was slightly on the small diced side . Compliments to the chefs, waiters and management. Kind regards R Harrison

Just had first takeaway from here. What a delight. Fresh and so tasty. Definitely getting them from there again.

Every area of most big cities has an Indian restaurant, certainly in the UK.

20 plus booked. Food excellent service excellent no problem with a large group...take your own refreshments. Staff friendly

Amazing food, great service, v reasonable prices, been twice now and its fab. A really great find....

meals where excellent plenty lots of dish to chose from ,made it hard to pick one different from most curry restaurants .can take own alcohol , children's meal's , 20 of us went and nobody was disappointed and great value for money . will go again

What a wonderful place. Great food friendly staff.nothing is too much trouble.definitely make this my local

Recommended to me as a great restaurant to try and not disappointed! Great tasting food and very reasonable prices which is helped for a great value night by being able to take your own drinks!! It is a small restaurant so did feel a bit squished in but will definitely be returning!!

Small restaurant. Food is excellent and freshly prepared,no base sauces! Not licenced,but you can take your own alcohol. Good level of service.

This was excellent. Good food and you are allowed to take your own alcoholic drinks so it keeps prices reasonable . Good atmosphere and good food.

We have visited this restaurant many times over several years. We just realised that we had never reviewed it.

Really nice food exceptionally friendly and helpful staff lovely atmosphere wool definitely be a regular

We've been coming here since its opening night . it started out well, got better and now has to be the best curry restaurant in Solihull. Abz the owner spends as much time in the kitchen as he does out front and as such the quality of food is second to none. The menu has your standard curry options but take my advice and try the chef specials - the extra £1 or £2 is money well spent! Its not licenced but there is an off licence three doors down , Nash has a good range of drinks at very fair prices. To sum up, if you are in the area, visting the NEC or jusyt a local looking for a superb curry then this is the place to try !

Went for an early meal with the family. Wished we had stayed at home. Wasn't busy at all, There were only a few tables and the service was slow and the food was cold. Won't be returning.

Myself and my husband thought we would give this restaurant a try last week due to all the excellent reviews on Trip Advisor. I fully expected it to live up to expectation but alas it did not! I ordered the chicken tikka starter but all I could taste was salt and the same with the main course. My husband was also very disappointed. We will not be returning. Just goes to show that you cannot always rely on good reviews unfortunately!

Visited here after reading TripAdvisor reviews, quality of service and food brilliant. Would highly recommend this place to anybody to try it.

We visited this restaurant for first time tonight. I checked their food rating which was “5”. That impressed me from the off. I only eat vegetarian so was pleased with plenty of choice offered. Me and my partner both enjoyed our meal, everything was fresh and tasty. Staff polite and a lovely setting. Definitely be visiting again.

Had a pleasant dining experience there last night.Good food,reasonable price,good environment,However after paying the bill when i calculated the items i took i found out that they charged me extra 14% out of no where and they didn't even gave itemised bill to make it easy for me to countup.I wonder if they do it with every bill of every customer they get every day how much black money they would make in a week or month. Otherwise i would have left a 5 star feedback.

Another Birthday spent at fabulous Zengz . Repeat business is a great recommendation and Abz has many regulars for good reason . Food is always fresh , tasty and of high quality , i've recommended Zengz to many friends and colleagues who have become regulars too.

Went there on Friday night. Very busy, food was good, staff service excellent didn't rush starters and main course like some places and good value for money. Worth a visit if your in the area.

The staff were pretty good and the food excellent. Love eating here so no complaints. I would definitely recommend eating here as great tasting curries.

When we arrived it was fairly quiet but soon filled up . Food was excellent and didn't have to wait long before starter and main . My only gripe was the staff was a little moody , the bill came to £34.00 and we gave...

Visited here prior to going to a concert at the Genting Arena on 09/02/18. Was with my sons and we all really enjoyed it. A very varied menu and some unusual dishes. We all loved it and wish it was closer to where we live. It’s only 15 minutes drive from the NEC so easy pre show dinner. Loved it. Might be an idea to book if you’re going much after opening time.

This title sums up this small restaurant. We have now visited on 4 occasions and each time we have eaten a very nice tasty meal. We tend to go out midweek rather than weekends when it is less busy as that’s our personal preference. At Zengz they listen to the fact that you need a break between starters and main and the food is served beautifully on spotless tablecloths with laundered napkins ( the little touches). The prices are reasonable and if you wish to partake alcohol, you can take your own. They sell soft drinks. It is a very pleasant restaurant and we will certainly continue to visit. Thank you to all at Zengz

This is one of our favourite restaurants in Birmingham , and best of all it's very local to us . Food is always fab and Abz and his crew are always willing to help you choose what's just right for you . I've recommended Zengz to many friends and they always be regulars.

First time at this establishment whilst visiting friends. Small restaurant with very pleasant and attentive staff. Food was excellent - my wife and I shared the mixed platter starter and Chicken Tikka Bhuna with Naan bread. Nice large portions and absolutely delicious. From our experience, would highly recommend.

Absolutely fabulous again... we use the restaurant on a regular basis for home delivery.. chef special of sag tikka special is amazing , chicken on puri has to be tasted to be believed. Always piping hot , freshly prepared and delicious. Fabulous value. Compliments to chef, staff and owners! Thank you

Food was very tasty and very reasonably priced. However, the best part for me was the atmosphere- it is a small friendly restaurant with great staff. We will definitely be returning soon.

This is a compact and bijou restaurant close to the coventry road in Sheldon. It is very popular so, my advice would be to book. They have specials on during the week that include a starter & main for a set price. You do need to take your own alcohol, they have soft drinks. I ordered the lamb dish which was cooked in a lamb marrow broth. It was delicious!

My husband and I were staying near the NEC and found this place accidentally, amazing food, excellent service and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be going back when next in the area

This is a must , food and service is great, they will cook anything to your taste and are happy to change things for your taste. Take your own drink makes it a cheap night out.

Went for the first time Friday 29th Sept, thought it was a new place but think it's been there longer, food was nice, great little restaurant overall, a bit small, tables a bit close together, as waiter bumped into my chair behind me a few times, packed restaurant so need to book for Fri or Sat night, staff were attentive, costs were cheap but the portions a little small, especially the Balti dishes that are usually bigger, if we'd wanted a sweet afterwards were told that really all they had left was cheesecakes, as they'd run out of the rest, a bit noisy for our taste, so would perhaps go again, but on a weekday.

Visited for the 1st time this evening and was really impressed with both the food and service. Very busy for a Tuesday evening. Would defiantly recommend but try and book a table so your not disappointed.

Visited Zengz with some work colleagues in September. We were instantly greeted in a friendly manner and seated at our table. The restaurant is unlicensed but you can purchase alcohol from the off licence a few doors down and the restaurant will keep them chilled for you. The food menu is full of familiar and unfamiliar dishes for the more adventurous. Or if you prefer the waiter will recommend dishes based on your preferences. All the dishes were served in what looked like authentic dishes and they all looked different and interesting. We didn't venture into the desserts.

Previously dined and reviewed 3 years ago. There is no improvement needed for the meals served, all piping hot and superb.Its time there was expansion of its dining area as it remains cramped. Its regular diners would follow if it moved to larger premises, you could quadruple the dining area and it would still be full and popular. The curries cannot be improved. The local off licence is as ever handy to purchase alcohol and owner helpful and recommendations to restaurant remain.There was a cold draught from the kitchen to where we sat, table 7.There was slight stains on the pale fabric chair covers if I was to nitpick.£15 per head, whats not to like!Overall, fantastic but the business could grow to offer improved dining experience of more space and comfort.

We have dined in several indian restaurants but Zengz beats the lot. Take your own drinks, Friendly and efficient staff speedy service, the naan breads are delicious and full of flavour, thick & never burnt. last night the manager recommended a dish i had not tried before, what an excellent choice. The only down side is the lack of space, tables too close together. If a large party are planning to dine here would recommend booking in advance to get window table

Remember when going for a curry meant a dingy place with plastic tables? We'll this is the exact opposite! Fine dining with well judged heat for all palates. The real stars are the breads, especially the rotis. The best bit...it's only a 5 minute walk for me.

Just visited Zengz after a long time away . Quiet Monday night , but food was fantastic , why I've not returned for so long is beyond me as everything myself and my partner had was just superb . As I said in my first review of Zengz in 2013 , Go ! You won't be disappointed. Fossy.

Absolutely stunning meal, Indian but with a modern twist. Staff extremely friendly, amazing service. We are at the NEC for a weekend course with lots of people, am going to recommend to everyone I meet over the next 3 days

I was in the area with work, and travelling alone. I have no qualms about dining alone, but it takes some getting used to - sometimes it can feel a little awkward and waiting staff treat you differently, sometimes not in a good way.Upon arriving, Zengz' decor is neat, welcoming, clean and maintained. The staff were really friendly and immediately engaged with me to the right degree. They brought my drink to my table, chatted and then let me get on with choosing from the menu. Poppadums and chutneys were great, and they offer spiced poppdums which are lovely. All dips and onion salad of the highest quality. I ordered a vegetable jalfrezi. They made sure I was ready for my main before bring it out. I was hot and fresh, lots of vegetables, lentils and just the right amount of sauce. I ordered a tandoori roti which was clearly cooked in the authentic style with charred bits on the outside and a soft centre. Lovely portion and freshly cooked. I dined mid-week in the early evening and there was a couple also dining in the restaurant. The atmosphere is relaxed and contemporary. The food was fresh, authentic and really tasty. Great service and prices were really good.Really clean and modern toilets, located in a good spot away from diners.
