Great restaurant and usually very busy. Service is always good whether you are dining in or…read morecollecting a take-out, the staff are polite and efficient. The place is always clean and the food delicious. The menu has your standard range of curries as you would expect but they also offer some more modern dishes such as Lamb Shank with a creamy curry sauce. Decor is light and airy after they knocked a few walls through some years ago. Parking is plentiful and free. Situated a short stroll away from the sometimes boisterous centre of Wellington this is a great place to enjoy a relaxed curry.

We visited this restaurant in Summer and found the food to be distinctly average. Whilst the food…read morewas unmemorable the service was not. Do not be fooled into thinking this is a good thing however. The staff delivered what appeared to be a rehearsed performance rather than delivering quality service. It was over the top and uncomfortable.

The staff and food were pretty good, but we weren't very happy with the butter chicken. I've tried…read moreseveral different recipes in my day, and cooked far more than I've eaten out, and I can say that hands-down this was NOT butter chicken. Butter chicken is supposed to have a cream, butter, and tomato base that's loaded with spices, onions, and garlic, while this dish WAS loaded with butter it didn't have any of the other components, or even the right spices, and the sauce was made with a very grainy coconut flour. It was really very odd. I ordered the lamb vindaloo, it was pretty much the most excellent version I've ever had of this dish. I asked them to make it spicy for me, and they warned me that it would be very spicy, and I was pleasantly surprised at how slowly the spiciness built up and then maintained at the same level, it was really nice. American spicy pretty much either kicks you in the teeth or builds to the point that the level is intolerably high for most, but Indian heat builds and then plateaus, which makes the experience more pleasant and less like a food challenge. Our starters were good, we had the poppadoms, samosas, and onion bajis. I'm not a fan of the mint sauce, but the onion salad and mixed pickle were great. Overall, I'd say that this place is good and I'd both dine here again and recommend it to my friends.

The entrance is a little tatty but not too bad, and the staff asked us to wait while they dealt…read morewith the endless takeaway calls/queue. We were shown to our table by the waiter. The decor was modern and clean, more swish cafe than backwater Indian. The staff were OK. I think that there was only two onincluding the chef. I think that reflects the rural location, and only added about 10-20 mins on our visit, which was fine with me. The food was good, I had (sorry cannot remember the name) a korma type dish with bananas. I have had a similar dish before and the bananas were part of the dish, so was a little disappointed when the dish arrived and there was just cold chopped banana on top of the dish. My friends ordered a hot hot dish, and both of them said it was good, although I think when they say hot on the menu they mean it!! There was a lot of steam coming out their ears! Reasonably priced, good food, and a good location. Worth a visit if in the area, but I guess not worth a detour!

I, along with 14 other people, recently visited Zak's Balti. It was chosen due to the affordability…read moreand the fact that it had enough room to accommodate everyone at one table. We should have known better...the fact that only one other table was occupied despite the large floor area on a Saturday should have sent warning signals! Our order was taken relatively promptly. However it then took 40 minutes for the popadoms to be provided. Having finished our starter, we then waited an hour for the main courses. By this time people are getting irritable as we are now the only people in the restaurant and we have already asked the helpful (yet clueless) waiters how much longer. Eventually some of the mains arrive. We then wait ages for rice. Then a little longer for more mains. Cold mains get sent back. Wrong mains get sent back (After the waiter tried arguing that she had ordered what had been brought). Naans start to arrive. Finally the rest of the rices arrive just as people are finishing. The actual food was ok. A few people said theirs was lovely, most said ok. In fact the general consensus was that they were so hungry that they would have eaten anything! Then it was time to order the Bill and as the waiters were clearly avoiding our table (despite us now being the only party) this took a predictably long time. As a pacifier the popadoms were complimentary, but this does not make up for the bland food and appalling service. Since this visit we have found other dissatisfied customers, one story of waiting an hour for food and then walking out...the waiters didn't even argue that they hadn't paid for their drinks!

What truly exceptional service! Went out for a family meal and from beginning to end the evening…read morewas perfect. The food was delicious, and the portions were huge so make sure you are hungry before you order. We asked for variants to the menu and it was delivered, nothing was too much trouble. Attentive staff, outstanding service, tasty food and a wonderful atmosphere - will definitely be back and would recommend to everyone. For anyone that reads a bad review on this business; they must be mistaking it for somewhere else, why would you not want to wait for food surely this shows how fresh it is and freshly prepared and zaks balti delivers fresh tasty food every time. If they can deliver the service we had tonight and there was 11 of us, imagine how the service would be to a small group. Well done guys you should be proud! See you soon x

Over the summer I ate at Henri's 3 times & had 3 very different experiences…read more The first was very pleasurable. The food was delicious. Our waitress was lovely. Our only 'complaint' would be that now Henri's is a restaurant rather than a pub, I had expected a little more from the staff. We weren't greeted or checked on by the manager, who was milling around the entire time. The second time was fabulous. The food outstanding. Again, a great waitress and this time we had personal interactions with the manager & the chef also walked through & stopped at our table. The 3rd time I found the food to be a little disappointing & we did wait a long time for dessert. We knew the chef this night was different to the 2nd time. All in all, lovely decor, good food & I would definitely go back. Hopefully the creases will have been ironed out by then.

Very nice place to eat traditional indian curry. The service…read morewas very professional in friendly. The curry is served separated. One bowl the rice, the other bowl with the curry. That's helpful if you want to regulate how much curry or rice do you want to eat. Curry tasted awesome I would definitely take friends to the place just to show them the traditional curry. The location was very clean but a bit bored decorated for my taste (minus 1 star). Prices are fine.

One of our group ordered a family Naan bread to share with his girlfriend as normally they are quite small, so he wanted to be sure they had enough to share, well the family naans are even bigger! Generally the food was perfect too. First the Popadoms. The favourite snack/starter for any Indian meal. They were so fresh and crisp, perfect actually. Everyone had something different and one of our guests had never eaten Indian food before and was quite worried. Her boyfriend ordered a chicken masala for her and she loved it. She now eats Indian food! We were all chuffed with the service, the food quality and presentation and of course we didn't stop talking about the Naan breads. We were also super lucky, as it was so close after New Year and a Thursday, not many folks have started going out on a Thursday night, so we had the restaurant to ourselves. We concluded that after having eaten there for the first time will definitely be back. Ask for Mr T. who is the owner. His nickname for short is actually T, but I call him Mr T. Go and check it out and definitely order a Naan bread!

I moved from Wolverhampton to the USA and now reside in San Francisco, California and needless to say, over the last 10 years, I have yet to come across a chip shop that comes close to Miami Fish Bar or Sam's chippy on Upper Villier Street from the 1980's. Order the large fish and small bag of chips, with a steak and kidney pie (piping hot), add some vinegar and grab fork and a can of coke. Then off to eat in a scenic setting... my scenic setting is to head toward the Penn Road, and once at the roundabout just before Penn Cottage, take the second exit toward I think Showell Lane, narrow steep lane that takes you into the Staffordshire countryside, then down the other end toward the Bridgnorth Road. I typically park the car on a makeshift lay by and during the summer months, take in the view from the back of Highfields School, (my secondary school), and enjoy a piping hot fish and chips with a steak and kidney pie, washed down with a can of full fat coca cola!!! Ahhh, heaven, I cannot wait to head back and enjoy the food. I am salivating right now!!!! Enjoy, ex-pat in the United States.
