    Food was good but the restaurant was so cold it was really uncomfortable. Left as soon as we had finished our food, which was a shame because the staff were really friendly and hospitable. Will try it again in the summer.

    We discovered Zarda about 6 weeks ago and have been 3 times already. The first time we were alone and had such a great meal that we brought some friends the second time (who also thought it was remarkably good) and then a further friend last week and she, too, was bowled over. My one tiny gripe is that it's quite hard to read the menu as it's gold on black; I know it's sophisticated but it makes it quite hard to decipher. But that's a very small niggle - it's basically a fabulous venue with gorgeous food and a lovely overall feel. We love it and will be back very soon. With our reading glasses!

    Food and drinks seem over priced. Our total neared £220 for 7 people 3 not drinking alcohol. They had no beers on tap so only bottles available Cobra or Peroni (small bottle of peroni) The staff were rude, we continuously waited for drinks. When we asked to order some after one person said there order he walked away rather then asking if we needed to order more, when he came back with the drink order we ordered the other drinks and he looked towards us smirking as if we were taking the mick ordering more drinks. Used to like this indian but have been put off for good, service was generally poor no personality no effort, will not be going again any time soon or ordering a takeaway.

    The food was delicious, and presented very well. Good quality meat was used (between us we had the lamb kebab starter, lamb dupiaza and the dhansak) no fatty cuts of meat used. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. The restaurant looked beautiful, definitely a place we would return to. The dhansak was very spicy! And I can eat spicy food! Our waiter offered us yoghurt to help. Would love to see coconut rice on the menu, and perhaps a minty sweet yoghurt dip for the starters. Cannot wait to return for another meal.

    Our second visit to this exellent retaurant.Party of five first time and party of four this time.The service and quality of food can not be faulted.Price wise it is comparable to far inferior restaurants offering similar fare but without the flavours and good service.I would highly recommend anyone to book and enjoy some fabulous cuisine.

    This was our first visit to Zarda which was an achievement in itself as my husband is not too partial to Indian food. However, he thoroughly enjoyed his meal and went so far to say that it was one of the best meals he had recently. Compliments to the chef! The food was very well presented, tasty and portion size good. The only negative comment I would offer is that the restaurant was too cold for dining. The building is very old and probably does not have concrete foundations; the staff had the radiators on, extra heaters and an open fire but it was still on the chilly side. Probably best visited when the weather warms up. Parking is on the street and it was particularly busy the evening we visited. However, I would certainly visit again and have no hesitation in recommending the food.
