Zeera

I would not recommend the buffet in the evening. Just tried the food today and it felt like that it was left over rice from yesterday. And when tried to express my opinion about the food to the waiter, he quickly becomes defensive and comments, "I think the food is very tasty, I have eaten it". After hearing that, I didn't think much will get heard over there. There might be something in the menu which is good, but apart from 2 dishes everything else looked pale.

Totally agree with the majority of views expressed. Zeera is not a bad restaurant but it does not do authentic indian food justice. The waiters really are very grim, sullen and they seem to not have any social skills. It would be nice if for once, they welcomed you warmly rather than appearing as though their guests are unwelcome.

As for their prices, they are wayyyyyy too overpriced. You'd be better off going to Tayabs in Whitechapel. It's a famously well known indian restaurant and its very very good value for money. If you don't want to travel far though, try the Budgens opposite...their frozen indian meals are better!!

As with some other comments made, the service at Zeera was awful!! The staff were all very unfriendly and unhelpful. Whenever I asked for anything from the staff, they looked very annoyed. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone as they'll have an unpleasant time, having to deal with rude waiters.

I usually had takeaways from Zeera's where I chose what I wanted so I generally liked the food (and I didn't have to see the grim waiters). But I tried out their sunday buffets and i was quite disappointed. There was not a lot of choice in the food and you could tell that they only mainly had cheap dishes.

Overall my visit to Zeera's was disappointing and I will not be going back there again.

This restaurant looks impressive from the outside, it looks impressive from the inside. There's not many indian restaurants who have Molton Brown soap in the washrooms, so you have to give them full points for effort. The view of the decor was certainly unspoilt by other diners, we were almost the only table in there....

The food is good, tasty and well presented, it arrived slightly lukewarm but I'll forgive them that.

What really lets this place down is the staff, they are sullen and frankly depressed, surely a smile wouldn't hurt. They're not rude - that would mean showing emotion. You'd think they'd make an effort to welcome custom and not seem to regard them as an interruption to them standing around.

At £25 a head, it's overpriced for this location and I'm sure there are places nearby that you could do a lot better for a lot less. If Gordon Ramsey reads these reviews I'd love to see Zeera on Kitchen Nightmares.

If the restaurant reads this - for gods sake cheer up lads!!
