Zamana Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "I just love the food here whether it is take out / delivery or eat in."
• "The Chicken Saji, Lahori fish, Chilli chicken & keema Naan for mains were really nice."
• "Very nice food and very tasty! Food was fresh and delicious, the meat curry and veg was cooked perfectly."
• "Excellent representation of Pakistani cuisine at a fine dining level! Food was outstanding! The Tandoori prawns will be the best you've ever had!"
• "Authentic pakistani cuisine. Everything was delicious, but their keema & hari bhari chaat was something I would definitely go back for, they were my favourites!"
• "Excellent tasty food. Starters to mains to dessert were exquisite."

Cons:

• "However, the Chicken Saji just lacked a little taste and appeared to have been grilled/cooked a long time ago."
• "For desserts, we ordered Gajar Halwa (which was the best thing) and Rasmalai cake, which was very disappointing."
• "The mix grill was nice, excluding seekh kebab. The mains were okay, but I would definitely not order the Nehari at Zamana."
• "Food portions are small and pricey for the quality and amount."
• "Unhygienic and bad customer service."

Service

Pros:

• "Staff are very friendly but slightly let down by service. Empty glasses and plates not removed from the table even though they were struggling to find space on the table."
• "Service was really good, and staff were attentive throughout."
• "The service was amazing, the staff were really attentive and helpful."
• "Staff friendly and Shahid provided us a brilliant experience. Will be going back for sure!"

Cons:

• "Had to wait a long while for table to be cleared after everyone had finished."
• "It was removed from the bill but wasn't really given an apology."
• "Service was slow although the restaurant wasn't that busy."
• "Extremely disappointed with Zamana. Placed an order for delivery and was given a delivery time for 45-60min. After waiting for well over an hour, they just simply cancelled the order without any explanation."

Ambiance and Decor

Pros:

• "I love the chilled out vibes and great decor in the restaurant."
• "The restaurant itself looked modern, the outside was decorated quite nicely as well."
• "The decor is so pretty, matches the pakistani theme, beautiful! The lights, the whole vibe is cute."
• "Lovely place, great decor and ambience, wonderful service and impeccable food."

Cons:

• "Only issue was with the noise. It was a bit noisy even when the restaurant wasn't full."
• "Well, what can I say, the decor was a bit quirky and difficult to reconcile with the pakistani cuisine."
• "I quite liked their ambience but couldn't get the frames on the wall with post-its."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Overall cost was about £65 so not too expensive."
• "Mains took some time to come and were average, overall the bill came to £170 for 6 people so was on the high side, not sure I'd visit again given the mentioned competition nearby."
• "Best to reserve a table as it does get packed. Beautiful interior seats are very comfy..service was fast and very good."

Cons:

• "The only downfall is the amount of curry you get in one portion doesn't reflect the price in my opinion."
• "Visited with my whole family and it was perfect. Not overpriced. Small menus which is good."
• "Some dishes were great, like lamb karahi and lamb shank. Other dishes like chaats, keema, and biryani were very average. Prices were reasonable."
