Halal Reviews for Ziya Rusholme

Best curry I’ve had. And I’ve eaten a lot of curries. I had the Namkeen gosht, a fantastically rich and savoury lamb curry with the right spice level. The naan was also fantastic and so fresh out of the tandoor. The service was also top notch.

Amazing food and an excellent ambiance! The customer service was outstanding — special thanks to Nikki, who perfectly understood my taste and recommended dishes that turned out to be spot on. The bartender was also at the top of his game. This place is an absolute must-visit!

Staff were friendly, the popadoms are ok but the lack of sauces is really bad, only 2 sauces for £5 wow thats terrible, everywhere else gives like 4 to 5 sauces. My friend and me ordered our starters and chose chips with them, my chips was missing, we were still charged for this, you can see in the picture there is no chips, the waitress insisted the chips were in the dish, you decide if you can see any chips haha, must be magical chips, also said there is no price difference of having chips or not, but the menu says differently. My starter the indo chinese was very bad, everything was very very overly tangy, there wasn't anything indo chinese about it, the chicken lollipops were nice, i wasn't expecting the rest of it to be fish, there was maybe 1 piece of chicken in it, rest was tangy fish bites, very poor, the long prawns were ok but had no taste, just tasted like battered prawns haha, and you can see in the picture they just plain not seasoning, no marination. I still don't know why this restuarant was on my to go list as it was very poor. The next thing is the table next to us with the man in the suit was overly favoured over us, they got all their food first, they got their starters and finished them, got their mains, and still our starters hadn't come, they prioritised the rich looking gentleman rather than giving a fair service to all customers. We waited very long time for starters close to 20 minutes or more, the place was dead inside only 3 tables of 2, no takeaways, so why they were struggling i couldn't tell you. The next thing is the curry was pretty nice, but was very big thieffery, there was maybe 3 pieces of chicken in the entire curry, i was left with half my rice left as i had nothing to eat it with. The starters had more stuff to eat in them haha. Sort it out man otherwise this place won't be around for future if this is how you look after customers.

Wonderful food and staff. Arya and Ananya looked after us very well, and it was a lovely surprise to have live music from Sunny. Will definitely recommend. 😊

Not sure how accurate the other reviews are here, but we visited Ziya recently as we were looking for a place to eat as we were so hungry, and also were travelling with 2 young children. The place was so empty at lunch time, we were the only guests eating at the time. We ordered a few things from the menu, sadly there wasn’t a great deal of choice for the children to eat, so they made do with roti/naan and chips. The paneer makhni was so spicy / hot that I couldn’t eat after 2 bites and that was the mild version! The tandoori king prawns were 2/3 in a portion, over cooked and rubbery when eating. The kebabs were just awful that they had to be sent back as they looked and tasted like they had been cooked in a microwave. I took a sip of water from a bottle in my bag and the waiter immediately came over to say that I could only consume their drinks! Overall, we wernt thrilled with it all, so sadly won’t be returning :(
