The journey of gin from it's origins to our Buddha's Gin Garden is a long one. It comes to us from the 17th century Dutch pharmacy shelves, through the trenches of English soldiers fighting in the Low Countries through all the levels of English society being in love with it. The journey of gin improvement is still going on today.

Just recently got a chance to visit Zara with my son. We both agreed that the food was very tasty and reasonably priced (although portions were surprisingly quite large!), friendly and professional staff so definitely I'd recommend this restaurant and we'll be coming there again 🤤

Looks great on the inside but the service wasn’t anything too special, compared to where we have been. You do feel a bit like a number when you’re in there. We were there for a special occasion and booked beforehand bur they didn’t want us to have the nicer seats in the restaurant and it was a struggle to argue with them as they said the nice ones were Booked. Turns out the whole time that wasn’t true and when we left, all the front tables were completely empty still. We also found it a bit overpriced with very small dishes. It’s also not an authentic Indian restaurant which is a bit

We had another excellent night at Zara tonight with our friends. Food was delicious and the place has a fantastic ambience. Saturday nights are busy, but they try their very best and the food is certainly worth waiting for. We won't go anywhere else. Oh and don't forget the Gin. Thank you all at Zaras for making our night special again.

Fantastic eat in meal and the best Tandoori King Prawn Masala I've had outside Birmingham. A good atmosphere and we were served quickly and efficiently by their friendly staff. Not cheap but good value for the quality delivered, I'll be back!

Lovely little stumble upon.
Has its own parking, which was handy. Gorgeous interior with a warm, homely feeling.
Staff were very friendly and had a bit of a giggle with us. A little bit pushy with the Gin but they are a Gin bar as well, so it figures.
The food was delicious, with sensible portions. Perhaps a little hefty in price for what you get but it depends if you want to walk out feeling satisfied (which we did) or walk out feeling like you've eaten enough for 3, destined to regret it until your next pig out (which is what we usually do).
The gin choices are extensive. I chose one that

Absolutely amazing food and atmosphere.
Two of us shared one rice which was more than plenty, and the waiter asked if we were sharing our mains dishes, which we were -then added a bit more lamb to one of the dishes.
We were stuffed when we were done.
Sad that my boyfriend hates when I ask for a doggy bag. I spared him the embarrassment this time.
Gin bar has a VERY big selection and so yummy.
Staff was very friendly, absolutely charming and attentive.
I think we were leaving just as ppl were arriving because it took quite a while to get our check, and the staff were focused on bringing ppl
