    7:00 PM
    Join us for the launch of Zouk’s brand-new Biryani Supper Club, a monthly dining event dedicated to one of the subcontinent’s most beloved and celebratory dishes. Taking place at our award-winning Manchester restaurant, this supper club is a feast of flavour, tradition, and togetherness. Each event is limited in capacity, so early booking is essential. What to Expect Our Biryani Supper Club is all about bringing people together to enjoy a beautifully prepared biryani, served in true celebratory style. You’ll enjoy an intimate dining experience featuring our signature Lamb Dum Biryani and a rich, spiced Paneer Biryani – both made using time-honoured methods and packed with layers of flavour. This isn’t just dinner – it’s a shared experience inspired by the traditions of South Asian family feasts. The Setting Held at Zouk Tea Bar & Grill, just off Oxford Road in Manchester, the Supper Club takes place in our stylish and vibrant restaurant space. With an open kitchen, elegant interiors, and a buzzing atmosphere, it’s the perfect setting for a relaxed yet refined evening – whether you're with friends, family or on a unique date night. The Story of Biryani More than just a meal, biryani is a dish with deep cultural roots. Originating from the Indian subcontinent, it's long been associated with celebrations, weddings, and festivals. Every community has its own version – its own story – making biryani a dish as diverse as it is delicious. At Zouk, we cook our biryani Sindhi-style, using a traditional layering method in a sealed bread-topped pot. As the dish cooks, steam and spices mingle to infuse every grain of rice with irresistible aroma and depth of flavour. The result? A biryani worth gathering for. The Menu Welcome Aperitif Cocktail or mocktail Appetiser Gol Gappay Mix Veg Pakora Starters Nargis Kofta Lasooni Prawns or Masala Mirch (vg) Paneer Manchurian (v) Mains Lamb Dum Biryani or Paneer Biryani Served with Spicy Vegetable Gravy Cucumber Raita Tomato Chutney Dessert Pistachio Mess or Om Ali End of Meal Digestive Desi Cha or Pistachio Latte

    The main course was late until I checked with the waiter. It looks like it was missed & we had to wait for 30 mins.

    Omg. If I could give Zouk more than 5 stars I would. From the moment I walked through the door to the waitress to the food to leaving at the end of our meal. The attention to detail and quality oozed from every where. No to the food. The quality and amount was amazing. I had butter chicken which I had medium spiced it was melt in the mouth tasty and if you visit you must have a cheese naan too! I will definitely have Zouk in my must visit again list and if you are in Manchester you need to have it on your too. Thank you everyone at Zouk for making our visit memorable

    Beautiful restaurant with great atmosphere. The service is very quick and efficient. The starters were amazing and we couldn't wait for the mains. Oh dear what a let down. The lamb had no flavour very bland although the sauce was spicy. My family had various other dishes and also said the flavour weren't up to much. Such a shame.

    The experience at Zouk was appalling from the quality of food to the price of the food total disappointment. The food taste was bland and the place needs a serious upgrade.

    If we could give minus stars, we would. - The service was horrendous - long waits for everything, no checks to see if everything was ok, a lot of time wasting considering this was a 90 minute experience. - The food was cold on arrival and the salmon was grey. Our orders were mixed up and items that should have been on my plate were on my husband’s. - The food and drink options on the bottomless brunch were minimal. 5 alcoholic drinks options but they only had the ingredients for 3 of them; Prosecco, mimosa and Bellini, which are essentially a variation of the same thing. - Catalogue of basic hospitality failures from the minute we walked through the door to the moment we left. Had it not have been a prepaid voucher, I would not have paid a penny. - This offer is sacrilege and I urge anyone to avoid this place at all costs. I don’t write reviews normally but felt the need to today. Absolute daylight robbery.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, and we’re genuinely sorry to hear that your visit did not meet expectations. We sincerely apologise for the service delays, and the issues you encountered with the food and drink during our bottomless brunch. This is far from the standard we aim to deliver, and we understand how frustrating this must have been. We never want our guests to leave disappointed, and we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly to make this right. Please feel free to contact us so we can address your concerns personally. Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us grow and do better.

    Absolutely love Zouk. The food is always amazing and flavourful and all of the staff are really friendly and welcoming. The cocktails are amazing too. Really nice atmosphere both inside and outside the restaurant, the outside seating also has heaters and blankets. Cannot recommend this place enough.
