    Been to Blackpool for an unexpected trip. Thought to visit some Indian restaurant at late night, luckily we got zest of india which is the best we found. Their got large varieties in the menu. We visited a group of 5, everyone enjoyed their meal completely. The staff are friendly and well mannered. The chef and owner of restaurant is Same one. He is coming to table and taking of reviews is really nice. We customise our food chef truly delivered outstanding. Your lamb chops, chicken biryani, Himalayan chicken hot is really delicious. When we leaving next day we thought to visit your place again for takeaway but to our bad luck you guys closed your place in afternoon. Thanks for making our dinner amazing. Will visit for sure if we are in Blackpool again

    Unexpected visit here on Saturday evening while we were in Blackpool and just wow. What an amazing meal we had. One of the best Indian meals we've tasted. Fantastic staff, service, restaurant is spotless and the food was just out of this world, freshly cooked, tasty and will definitely visit again when we return to Blackpool. Thanks again 🙂

    I never usually post a review but this has been an experience for sure: You are paying about £15-35 for each dish that only consist of onions, after onions and only 3 piece of meat and chicken when you asked meat/chicken Karachi and they justify it with “it’s the way The dish is designed”. the quality and the taste is one of the most bland and tasteless things, even though I asked them to make it Asian style which means I need it saucy and spicy. I appreciate them making the dish again but it still didn’t taste good never mind decent to the point I spit it out. The quality of the food needs to meet the price you are paying for but this is a complete rip off. We paid over £350 for about 10 dishes and only 3 of them was good, I don’t know whose the curry chef in the back but they need to tighten they skills to serve good food for the price. The waiters was very nice and welcoming to us and the food came out quick, the presentation of food was also good but the chef can’t cook/grill. Everything is dry and tasteless, I wouldn’t recommend anyone to go eat there.

    I cannot fault the service or the food. Reasonably priced food, lovely customer service and the food was just so divine! Thank you so much for such a pleasant experience. Hats off to the chef! He really cooks with love :) and the staff are an asset to the restaurant. If you fancy dining out somewhere- then please visit Zest of India. You will not be disappointed at all. They really care about their customers, don't just take my word for it. Go and find out for yourself.

    Unquestionably the best curry I've had in a long long time. I often like to choose lesser known menu items to find unusual flavours and try the style of the chef. There are some very unique dishes that are full of flavour. Absolutely incredible.

    We dine here on a regular basis. Chef is fantastic. He will come to your table and talk with you and give you suggestions. He is very knowledgeable about all his food. The waiters are also wonderful, very nice and friendly. I recommend this Indian to all my friends and work colleagues. Such good value for money.

    One of the best curries we have had. We were on holiday and fancied a curry, didn't book but the staff were very accommodating and seated us very quickly. Staff were so lovely and chef came out to ask how the food was. A credit to Blackpool

  • 2/5 Gym progression uk “Romford” Techniques, workouts & f. 9 months ago on Google
    Phoned and booked a table for 9 and was told he would look after us. Food was average very overpriced on alot of items. The part that shocked us, we was given poppadoms and dips with our meal that is normally always complimentary especially after paying over £200 on food BUT we was charged an extra £28.50 for this! I would of been happy to pay something but not this extortionate price for something that costs them nothing to make. Very money hungry staff and was even told the same by other businesses on that road. Won't be returning and told them the same alot better elsewhere.

    We came to the area to play Royal Latham & St Anne’s golf club. We were not sure what we would find for restaurants, but researching review sites, we landed on this place. What a find! The food was amazing! What a treat! We’ll be back whenever we’re in the area.

    In Blackpool for weekend with family group of 14. We fancied a curry and ordered from Zest of India for delivery to hotel. Telephone order very efficiently taken and delivered in no time with a discount too. Really good food, service and delivery. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

    This restaurant is a treasure on the outskirts of Blackpool, close to Starr Gate tram station. We enjoyed a delicious meal which was extremely flavourful at a really good price. I tried a new dish, sunheri lamb, whilst my husband enjoyed the exotic biryani. The lamb was delicious, moist and really tasty. All the staff were helpful and friendly and we even enjoyed a complimentary coffee to finish. Highly recommended, we will be returning.

    9 of us out on a stag party. Great service, really good food and atmosphere. A little out of town but 2 min walk from Starr Gate tram stop and we'll worth it.

    It’s above my expectations.they are good…mouth watering food..they give a 1.5litter coak as compliment..my pictures tell the rest

  • 5/5 Angie L. 1 year ago on Google
    We arrived without a booking . One of our party is disabled and the staff were very helpful and accommodating, and made us feel at home immediately. We all had different starters which were excellent. Well cooked and tasty. There were many new flavours and spices we had never experienced before. The chef was very tentative and came out to talk to us about the menus and to explain that some of the dishes were his own recipes . He has been a chef for over 20yrs and his experience has resulted in a very different menu from the norm . And to top it off a complimentary glass of Baileys to finish was much appreciated and very nice. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

    We came to Blackpool for a city break all the way up from Cornwall. We fancied a nice meal and we stumbled across ‘Zest of India’ by looking at Google reviews in the area and we are so glad we went here for a meal! The vibe was really great here as a couple and you could see others in bigger groups were enjoying the same vibes. The restaurant and facilities were really clean and the staff and service was exemplary and they all really made a huge effort to cater to your every need. We enjoyed a tasty and freshly prepared meal. The madras and jalfrezi were divine and our starters were delicious! The portion sizes are very generous too. Big shout out to the owner, he made a huge effort to say hello to every customer between cooking our tasty meals and his lovely wife made sure we didn’t have an empty glass. We can’t wait to come back here. If you live in or around the area please support this amazing local business and if you are around the area having a break then make sure you make this restaurant part of your experience. Thanks again Zest of India, I’ll be telling everyone how amazing you are and we can’t wait to come back!

    Excellent food in a very clean establishment with friendly staff. Served and cooked from fresh and you could tell because it really was exceptionally good. The staff really do care and the chef came out asking how everything was when we'd finished. I think this place is under new ownership and it really is very good. If I had any changes to make I'd say turn the lighting down a bit to make it a more romantic setting. Apart from that, everything else was perfect.

  • 5/5 Kim k. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff, food was amazing and plentyful. The lamb was so tender in my curry. The chef came to personally ask if everything was ok & had we enjoyed our meal. Would highly recommend it

  • 5/5 Mark A. 2 years ago on Google
    Highly recommend! Just been with family for a meal and every one of us thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was delicious and the staff are very attentive. No complaints at all. I'm also coeliac and require gluten free food, although this is not advertised, the staff were very knowledgeable and had no issues. Thanks and we'll certainly be back.

    Excellent Indian Restaurantand takeaway. I highly recommend this restaurant, the food is authentic, super tasty and one of the best Indian meals we have ever eaten. The owner (and staff) are all super friendly, they take the time to speak to you and ask if you are enjoying the dishes and the chef is happy to adapt ingredients to suit individual tastes. Honestly 5* stars all round ✨️ ✨️✨️✨️✨️.

  • 5/5 William M. 2 years ago on Google
    Anytime we want an authentic Indian meal to savour we come here. Had an issue with the nights order but they swiftly sorted it with no issue. The food was incredible, even better than what we had last time :D Keep up the good work, thank you so much for an enjoyable experience! Best Indian in Blackpool. This is a LOCAL review, trust us :)

  • 5/5 Martin N. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly atmosphere, good customer service and great food. Both me and my wife enjoy Indian food. Every time we visit somewhere we always look for a Indian restaurant we can try. This is by far one of the nicest we have been to, as the food was fresh and you could taste the different spices and herbs used. Would definitely recommend. A nice added touch was the chief also came out to check we were happy with everything. Will definitely book again next time we visit Blackpool.
