About

Zouk Tea Bar & Grill is a lively, fully halal Indian and Pakistani restaurant in Manchester city centre. Located just off Oxford Road, the restaurant serves everything from fragrant curries and sizzling charcoal grills to street-food favourites, which can all be enjoyed in its stylish, vibrant surroundings.

At the heart of Zouk is its open kitchen, where guests can watch the chefs prepare dishes over the charcoal grill, creating dishes inspired by the regional flavours of India and Pakistan. Guests can enjoy the lively atmosphere of the main dining or head out onto the terrace for a more relaxed escape from the city. Its retractable roof can be opened and closed when needed, with heaters that make it suitable for outdoor dining throughout the year. 

The menu balances much-loved classics with contemporary Zouk signatures, from seekh kebabs and lamb chops to a range of authentic curries such as chicken tikka, butter chicken, lamb karahi, and a selection of biryanis. Vegetarian and vegan diners are also well catered for, with dishes including samosa chaat, halloumi pakoras, dall makhani and Punjabi-style bindi.

Zouk is open throughout the day, making it a great choice for all times of day. From Monday to Thursday, guests can enjoy a relaxed halal brunch menu, whilst those visiting from Friday to Sunday can enjoy Zouk's unlimited breakfast buffet, bringing together a full English breakfast, traditional desi breakfast dishes, fresh omelettes, pastries and more. On Saturdays, a Bottomless Brunch is available, allowing diners to add 90 minutes of unlimited selected drinks to their meal. 

The restaurant also offers weekday tiffin lunches, pre-theatre or early-bird dining, as well as a halal Sunday roast each weekend. An extensive drinks menu includes cocktails, mocktails, wines, spirits and soft drinks, with non-alcoholic choices available for diners who prefer an alcohol-free experience. 

Guests looking for something more hands-on can also book one of Zouk's Indian cookery classes or arrange a private cooking experience.
