    Chicken Biryani
    Michelle H.

    Zouq is a really lowkey spot that serves Pakistani and Indian food! You kind of seat yourself in the spacious restaurant where you eat off of plastic plates with plastic utensils. The ambiance is very chill, no need to dress fancy at all. I also thought that our "server" was friendly. We got the Chicken Biryani and Mango Lassi. The Chicken Biryani was really tasty! The rice was flavorful and there were several pieces of chicken in the rice. It also came with a side of vegetables and this creamy cilantro sauce. The dish was definitely a bit spicy too. I really enjoyed the Mango Lassi. It was a bit icy, but still very refreshing. Overall, Zouq is a nice place for delicious Indian and Pakistani food! The prices are fairly cheap and the portions are large. I would definitely come back here again.

    I was trying to find another Indian restaurant nearby since my go-to place at Naan N'Curry seems to go down (I think they changed owners/chefs). Tried Zouq during their buffet lunch hours on the weekday. It was beautiful inside and everyone there were very friendly. You pick your own table, grab your own foods and drinks and pay afterwards. There were a good variety of foods in which they refill constantly and making sure that the surrounding bars were cleaned along the way. My only thing is that I wish they also have some non-spicy dishes. My 6 y.o. child was not able to eat anything there except. They were nice enough to not charge her because of that.

    We went to Zouq on a quiet Monday evening for dinner and were the only ones there. The ambiance is unassuming and simple - order at the counter, plastic plates and utensils, and open seating. Even though we were the only ones there, we did have to wait a bit for our food. The wait is beyond worth it. We experienced fantastic flavors, huge portions, and incredibly fresh food overall. We got the chicken korma (decently spicy), the kadhi pakora curry, garlic naan, and rice. We also got a mango lassi (amazing). In terms of value, I can't readily think of a place that has more. There was so much food that we ended up eating leftovers for two more days. We will absolutely be back for the buffet, and if you're in the area, this is a can't-miss spot.

    Went to is Pakistani restaurant in Duluth, went there for a Ramadan buffet, food was very delicious especially the mutton biryani,I highly recommend it. The spice levels were not to overpowering. The service was good and kept refilling, the ambiance was a bit dated, bit clean.

    Salad bar.

    If you turn into this plaza from Sweetwater Road, you will encounter a horde of speed bumps. Be wary if you think that will be a problem for particularly low vehicles or sensitive individuals. Otherwise, the parking is free and plentiful in front of the restaurant. This review is for the weekday lunch buffet between 11:30 AM and 3:00 PM on Tuesdays through Friday. Although the restaurant opens at 11:30 AM, the buffet may take additional time to finish preparing as it was around 11:50 AM when it was ready, which is something to keep in mind if you're short on time... though I imagine that shouldn't be a problem for those indulging in a buffet, haha! Upon entering Zouq, I believe you can immediately start serving yourself food and sit down at any open table if you're here for the lunch buffet. If you're here for lunch a la carte ordering, you will have to remain at the host station and request the menu for that. There is a beverage shelf next to the host station that is an additional fee for any of the canned and bottled drinks. Water and hot tea are provided in the dining area on a table with salt, pepper, and what looks like coffee or tea enhancements. The no-frills lunch buffet is completely self-serve with styrofoam plates, styrofoam cups, and plastic utensils. You are expected to toss your disposables as well. The variety of dishes is wonderful because so many different flavors are present: creamy and savory (chicken tikka masala), creamy and mild (kadi pakora), buttery (naan), citrusy and spicy (chicken tikka leg), sour (beef qeema), sweet (soji halwa). The majority of their curries and meat dishes are flavorful, aromatic, and spicy. I would be cautious if you have a low spice tolerance. There's also a salad bar. My plates were mostly enjoyed by dipping spring rolls and naan into whatever curry fancied my plate and chomping on any of their chicken dishes. There's actually so much more going on with how delicious the food is at Zouq, but I am not so knowledgeable about Pakistani and Indian food and their seasoning blends to be able to describe much. When the feast ends, you go to the host station to pay. There is no tip for the buffet, and the owner/host does not prompt you for one. Any additional beverages you grabbed will be charged with your buffet price. The base price of the buffet is $10.99 as of this review, which I would consider an amazing bargain! Additionally, the lunch buffet may not be available during the holy month of Ramadan, so I would recommend looking that up or calling ahead if your sole intention is the lunch buffet. The ambience is casual. There are ornate chairs and decorations in the dining room, which are beautiful. The ventilation and/or breeze is fairly strong inside the dining area when turned on, so there's a chance a person could become cold from it or their tableware could blow off if empty.

    Plenty of room

    This place has not been open that long. It is in the location of the old Pitted Date restaurant. You turn off Pleasant Hill on Sweetwater Rd. Take the second right which is quite soon. You will see a building with no signs at all. DONT stop there, veer father back to the right and you will see the old Pitted Date signs on the side of the building and this restaurant is inside. $10.99 is a really good price now that things have gone up everywhee. There are 14 food bins in the buffet lineup. If your a VEG be forwarned there is often beef on the buffet. It is Beef Haleem. If you know Pakistani food you know it. If you dont cheeck out youtubes and watch them make it. This is something really rare to find on a $19.99 buffet. You will probably pay over twice that elsewhere if you can even find it. (you can but often only certain days) and expect to pay a lot. They put out icewater and coffee with cream already added and its included in the buffet. If you want any other drinks you can get one off the wall and pay for it. There seems to be a LOT of room here. So just GO anytime there is the buffet, Mon-Thurs 11a-300p. Its not a fancy place so go as you are.

    Amazing deal for lunch buffet for $10.99! Great variety of Pakistani food cuisine, including daal curries, tandoori chicken, spicy vegetables, naan, meat, and rice dishes!

    For the best Chana masala and Daal curry in town you must visit Zouq Pakistani restaurant. The service is stellar and best of all free chai! They have great atmosphere and delightful buffet for only $11 per person is such a great deal! We will definitely be coming back on regular basis for both lunch and dinner!

    Dinning area

    NOTE: If your use to American style chicken tikka masala. This is not that THIS IS authentic, so be aware it is still good but it's not like how you usually would think of tikka masala. the chicken 65 is 10/10 so much flavor, so Kristy the green sauce they give is so amazing Samosas 10/10 by far are one of the best samosas. I've tried at a restaurant and are priced way perfectly at $2.99 for 2 , Chicken biryani: 9/10 it was good The service was nice there wasn't much service you just order in the beginning take a seat and they bring you water and plates and will check on you once in a while but besides that you're all set which I like as a antisocial person I don't like many people coming up to me all the time so it's perfect It's like regular Indian restaurant service. If you've been to Indian restaurant the people are nice though. The restaurant is very clean with these cool seats as well as this painting mural. Very nice ambience. Will be back again. I went during the weekday for dinner. They have a buffet 11am-3pm Tuesday - Friday I believe (not sure so call to ask about buffet)

    Tandoor chicken, Chicken Biryani

    Food was very flavorful and spiced just right. Really enjoyed the tandoori chicken. The naan is perfectly crispy but holds up well to putting food on it. Would definitely recommend this place even though at the buffet you use styrofoam plates and plastic ware. Inside is very spacious and nice painting scenery.

    Buffet items are watered down and Salty. There is no flavor of spices. Not worth the price. May be we should give them only ONE STAR.

While I placed an order on the phone for pickup, the service seemed friendly and efficient. We got the Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, Samosa, and Mango Lassi. I have been craving Indian food so I had high hopes for this place. The Chicken Tikka Masala was really good! I got it at medium spice level which I could definitely taste. It was creamy and had slices of onion and bell peppers, which was different compared to other places I have gotten this dish at. It tasted slightly salty at times, but that was my only qualm with the dish. The Garlic Naan paired well with the Chicken Tikka Masala, except it was not as pillowy and bread like as I had thought it would be. It was a bit more doughy and heavy, but still garlicky nonetheless. The Samosas were average; I could have done without it. My favorite item was the Mango Lassi! I almost downed the drink on the drive back. The color was a bit off to me initially (orange instead of yellow), but it tasted so good. The perfect amount of sweet and creaminess. Overall, I enjoyed the food here! I would come back to dine in and try other items on their menu.

Overall, I recommend checking out this local restaurant if you've never tried Indian pizza!

    I love this place for Indian pizzas. We were introduced to Rice n' Pie a few years ago at a…read morefriend's party and since then we were hooked. It's uncommon to find Indian pizzas in Atlanta (ones that do it good at least) so this place was a treat. We've ordered numerous times - all pickup/takeout orders only. While they do have a decent sized restaurant and seating area, we've just found it more convenient to pick up our pizzas while we are close by. You have two choices of pizza sizes - small (personal) and large (this is the shareable option). If you are hungry and only eating a pizza this is a good size for 2. You can also opt for a pan pizza or a thin crust (which IMO is more like a regular crust). I've tried almost all their flavors - tikka, garlic, 65, chilli, butter and they all are yum. I always end up adding bell peppers, onions and cilantro on mine to give it that extra flavor boost (things that go perfectly well with Indian cooking). You can add up to 3 vegetable toppings for free and pay a nominal charge to add more. You also can select your protein - chicken, shrimp, or keep it simple with paneer. They do have a lot of other food options on their menu but I've yet to try, so this review is almost exclusively for their pizzas. Their staff is nice and polite, and there is plenty of parking outside. On occasions, I've found their pizza to have spend a little more time in the oven making the toppings a little hard, but still plenty tasty! I recommend their Indian pizza - you can't go wrong!
