Zaara's Restaurant

What an amazing little find. Went last week for the first time and can't describe how delicious the food is. The butter chicken was in a league of it's own compared to the numerous other restaurants we've eaten in. The flavour was so authentic and like no other curry I've ever had before. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and the atmosphere was extremely relaxed and friendly. I would definitely recommend giving The Crafty Indian a try as you won't be disappointed. The owners should be so proud of what they have achieved as whatever they are doing, it works.

First visit and we will absolutely be back. Super friendly and helpful staff. Food was absolutely stunning best Indian I've had in a long time!! If the Apple & Cinnamon samosa is on the menu get it you won't be disappointed. Loved the venue so relaxing and inviting. Brilliant staff, amazing food great place. Loved it!!!

First time here and they fit us in at the last minute due to a booking issue elsewhere which we were grateful for. This is totally different to the run of the mill Indian restaurant and pleasantly surprised. Really tasty food which was piping hot, well presented and a lovely waitress serving it as well. Will definitely return.

The food. The food is pretty good and reasonably priced. Portions are a little on the small side but it all tasted fresh. Though it took over 30 minutes each for both the starter and mains to arrive. Peeking into the kitchen it seems there was a power struggle going on between the kitchen staff and the owner, with most of his time spent in the kitchen re-arrange tickets on the line, for then the kitchen staff to re-arrange them back. (as a side, we ordered for take-out once and it took 2.5hours to arrive, slow service seems to be a common thing here). With such a limited menu you would think service would be quicker. Staff/Service. All the staff seem glazed over, disinterested and attempting to get their attention was like trying to flag down a taxi; you're not sure if they are going to stop or not. They all go around with their eyes to the ground. Also, for a place selling craft beer, one member of staff had no clue what a 'stout' was; so had no idea if they sold any or not. Drinks. Drinks are very overpriced and there are no prices upfront anywhere. £2.00 for a 330ml (can sized) coke. But the beer takes the biscuit. I understand it sells "craft" beer and as an avid craft beer drinker I was excited at the prospect but two 440ml cans of "Brew York Rhubarbra Streisand Rhubarb Milkshake Pale" - which retails for around £3.00 a can - was being sold for £6.50. Atmosphere There is none. Its extremely loud, the music choice is poor and all the staff are running around like blue-arsed flies.
