Possibly the worst experience when ordering a takeaway. We ordered a takeaway and was given a time for delivery. When it was 30 minutes past the expected delivery time we rang the restaurant and was told it was on its way and being as we only live 5 minutes away from the restaurant we expected the delivery to be imminent. After another 30 minutes waiting we contacted the restaurant asking where our order was and the response was I’m not mystic Meg how am I supposed to know. Absolutely disgusting attitude and customer service from what was once a brilliant restaurant now it is a place which should be avoided at all costs. It is a shame because the food is lovely but the staff are a disgrace. We will never go here while these people are in charge which probably won’t be for much longer with this standard of service

First time ordering from Zahid & definitely won’t be the last, completely met expectations, the guy on the phone was polite and helpful and followed my instructions for the curry perfectly. Food came quick and was very tasty. We will definitely have to come for a meal at the restaurant next, thank

I'm going to admit to being surprised. I had low expectations going in and it was relatively quiet. Then it came to the food - ordered a Zahid Special ( not sure if that's a 100% right but basically the house curry). What a pleasant surprise, nicely spiced, tasty and most of importantly for me plenty of meat! Couldn't really fault it and has me wondering whether it's time to defect from Gulab! Definitely going to try again and hope my changed view and optimism isn't misplaced.

Small and I think family owned so worth visiting. The food is really good but the place is dated and needs a good clean. Waited over an hour for food after ordering, but everything is cooked to order. Waiters were lovely and good selection of dishes.

They added drinks on which we didn’t have, then when it came to paying, they removed the drinks but the owner basically added money back on (took the bill amount, divided it by 3, then punched a different figure into the card machine).I noticed this and called it “cheeky”, then the guy absolutely lost his head, becoming angry and aggressive with me, saying “how dare I call him cheeky” and telling me to ignore the previous payments and just tap my card. I literally pointed at the calculator vs the payments he’d already taken from my friends, and that they were different. It was only 50p more per person, I didn’t care and thought it was funny really, hence “cheeky”, and only wanted to make the point that it wasn’t transparent.Hr created a ridiculous scene with his aggression, refusing eye contact and slamming down the calculator and shoving the card machine in front of me then tapping it and ordering me to “PAY HERE!” It was really weird, I refused until he spoke respectfully and he then said “I need to cover my card costs”. Riiiiight, well again you should be transparent about that, no need to get angry. I even asked one of the other workers “why’s he so annoyed, also look at what he charged versus 1/3 of the bill, it’s more”, to which the guy shrugged and said “he’s the boss, what am I supposed to say?”The food was acceptable, the owner’s attitude was disgraceful. I feel bad for the others who have to work there under his aggression.And CHECK YOUR BILL and WHAT THEY ENTER INTO THE CARD MACHINE. No doubt he’ll respond to this denying everything cos he’s a poor angry man who doesn’t like to be called out.

My first visit to this restaurant last night (01/12/23) with 5 friends.We didn’t have a booking but were quickly sorted out with a table despite them being booked up.Our server, Mohammed, was excellent, very personable and attentive.I asked what he would eat on the menu and several of us followed his lead.We were not disappointed.Chicken chaat starter was exceptional, nicely presented with great flavour and a decent sized portion. It was the best I’d had.Main course was lamb tikka jalfrezi, I had mine “Apna” style and it was exactly as ordered.Great flavour, vegetables with a nice bite to them, it was excellent.All 6 meals were large portions, so much so a couple of us had some packed up to take home.The quality all round was excellent.I’m not a local to the area but would definitely make the effort to drive there with the mrs.Highly recommended.

Back to its best. I’ve been going here for 15 years and it did drop off a little at one point a few years back so stopped going. Called in the other week and it was amazing. Recommend Buna with half madras you can’t go wrong. Well done guys.
