Halal Reviews for Zouk Oxford Road

Amazing Punjabi cookery class! Attended with my Mum who treated us both to the class as a Christmas present! We both consider ourselves enthusiast home chefs but there is always something new to learn! Amjad, Rawat and their amazing team made us feel super welcome and not only taught us how to make some amazing dishes but explained the cultural and family significance behind them. For Starters we were taught how to prepare Punjab Chickens Lolipops and Lamb Chops. For Main we taught the traditional way of cooking Lamb Karahi and Chicken Jalfrezi - easily some of the tastiest renditions of both dishes we’ve had anywhere! Best of all the team showed us how to prepare the food using readily available ingredients and home cooking facilities! The team also demonstrated how to prepare their version of Pilau Rice and and how to cook Naan bread in a Tandoor oven (also explaining how to cook using a normal oven given that most people don’t have access to a Tandoor oven at home). Once the cooking was done we had lots of time to enjoy our delicious creations and chat amongst our new friends we made during the class! Can’t recommend Zouk enough for its ambience, delicious food and friendly service! Attending one of their Cookery classes is a worthwhile experience that I would recommend to anyone with a passion for Indian and Pakistani cuisine! Thanks guys! 🥘🍢🇮🇳🥘🍚🔥🫓

Restaurant itself was nice but unfortunately at the time we went it wasn't very busy but it was early evening. Starters weren't particularly to my taste but can't fault the presentation. It looked fantastic. The saviour was the main courses. Beautifully presented again and the taste was perfect. Mocktail was really good too albeit they didn't have the smoke box it was supposed to come in. 24k gold cappuccino was the icing on the cake. Finished the meal perfectly. Will be back no doubt.

We visited Zouk based on its popularity, and we’ve wanted to try it for a while. We didn’t need to book in advance as we went at a relatively quiet time - it was around early dinner time. Upon arrival, we were seen to by a member of staff who showed us to our table. Zouk offer a variety of (halal) savoury and many desert options, as well as a wide array of drinks. We ordered sliders for starters, and chicken steaks for our main, plus a mocktail and coke. The drinks were great - no complaints. The sliders looked yummy, but they weren’t very flavourful. They didn’t have any sauce. The cheese giving the most flavour. Nevertheless, the mains were tasty. The chicken didn’t have skin, which was fantastic. And they had a decent amount of sauce on them. The sides were yummy, however the boiled veg could have been chopped a little finer. It contained whole baby carrots, baby sweetcorn, and broccoli. The house sauce was delicious - highly recommended! Overall, we had a positive experience at Zouk, and we have already recommended this place to family and friends.

I ordered the Lamb Shank Curry, Grilled King Prawns, and a Plain Naan with sesame seeds. The lamb shank was outstanding, tender, and fell straight off the bone. The naan arrived hot and the chef was kind enough to add seeds on request. The prawns were full of flavour and cooked perfectly. The food carried deep spice, great texture, and rich aroma. The ambience was warm and stylish. Staff were polite, though more welcoming recommendations would help. • Lamb shank was tender and rich • Prawns were cooked well and full of flavour • Custom naan was a nice touch from the chef • Lovely ambience and great flavours

Always have the best time at Zouk! The food is always 10/10. Such a great atmosphere and nice vibe. Great restaurant to go on a date night or with friends.
