Much more stuff is made from scratch here than in most similar restaurants.

We had to wait forever for our drink that came with the meal, wait forever for the dishes and for the table to be cleared, the restaurant wasn't even close to busy. we actually asked for the bill at the same time we asked if they were going to bother clearing the mains and bring desert as people had been waiting ages for the bill and we still had to ask twice, the fruit on the desert was still frozen so couldn't be eaten. Then charged £40 for 3 drinks. It absolutely was not worth the £160 spent and feel like it was a complete waste of money when I could of cooked better at home. Then to add insult to injury I put a comment on Facebook for it to be deleted. It was our first night out since our baby was born and felt like it was spoilt as the food and service were not up to standard. I don't think I would be dining with you again. Show quoted text

She knew that the Zari is my favourite Indian restaurant. The owner and her staff have the class all worked out for the 6 pupils max 6). Following a talk about how the philosophy of the Zari we were shown how to use spices and then how to prep. We all had a station each which are numbered so at the end of the session what you cook to get to take it home along with a folder of recipes and the apron. Fully recommend this if you enjoy good Indian food.
