About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Lively
Zouk Manchester is a vibrant restaurant off Oxford Road. A dynamic full theatre kitchen allows diners to catch all the action and gives the restaurant a real buzz. With a range of tables available from a cosy two-seater to a booth for sharing with family and friends or a long banquette setting for parties, there’s something for everyone.

Our external flower wall and elegant decor provide plenty of selfie spots for showing off our gorgeous food and your beautiful faces! An all-weather shisha terrace featuring a retractable roof as well as space heaters and snuggly blankets keeps us busy all year round, regardless of the Manchester climate.

Dedicated chefs Mangal and Sajjad pride themselves on flavourful dishes and sharing their skills with the rest of their team. Taking inspiration from India, Pakistan and across Asia as a whole, you'll never grow tired of the choice at Zouk.

    Fab food, poor service. The food we ordered was excellent but the service was poor all night. Waiter was totally not interested and service was so slow. Took the shine off what was really nice food. We were never asked was everything ok or would have mentioned this at the time.

    Slow service with others with more people arriving later getting food before us. Slow service. Wrong drinks. Food raw and undercooked twice with one member of staff not taking concerns seriously with allergies. Forced to go for different option and then charged for it with service charge. Spoiled the occasion and won't be returning again.

    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. We as a family went out for our Eid meal and my wife and children were totally disappointment and said not worth the money at all neither the food was good.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. While we're glad to hear you enjoyed the starter and desserts, we're truly sorry that the main courses didn’t meet your expectations. We take great pride in the quality and consistency of our dishes, so it's disappointing to hear that the lamb was fatty, the chicken dry, and the rice underwhelming.
