Zouk is a melting pot of the very best traditional Indian recipes with a modern twist that has expanded into a compelling Breakfast & Brunch, Bottomless Brunch and a Sunday menu.

Combining street food from the markets of Lahore, with more traditional dishes from other parts of the Indian sub-continent, Tayub and Mudassar Amjad are the sibling duo behind Zouk whose mission was to create a live cooking dining experience in a contemporary setting right here in Manchester.

You could be forgiven for assuming Zouk was a cocktail bar with its extensive cocktail menu and the airy open lounge terrace that is packed out with people on a sunny Saturday. Inside, tables surround the open kitchen where guests can enjoy watching the chefs get to work in a modern and contemporary setting.

Zouk has won many food awards since opening in 2009 including Glastonbury Food Trader’s Award and the English Curry Awards. And, in keeping with the main menu’s Indian cuisine, inspiration is carried through into the Brunch menu with dishes such a Maharajas Breakfast – the Indian equivalent of a Full English with seekh kebab, turkey rasjers and spicy beans being served – and a Masala Omelette that adds a spicy kick to this classic dish.

Zouk celebrates Indian and Pakistani culture serving various sharing banquets and platters throughout each of the menus, reflecting the importance of sharing food in family life. This way, you get the opportunity to explore the many different dishes and debate your favourites!

Zouk's Bottomless Brunch serves a range of your favourite Brunch classics with an Indian inspired twist, including Bollywood Eggs Benedict and a Scrambled Paneer. This Brunch offers a selection of two dishes off the menu, accompanied with ninety minutes of Prosecco, Mimosa, Bellini and a range of other cocktails. Or indulge in a non-alcoholic Brunch and enjoy free flowing juice, soft drinks or a selection of mocktails.

Sunday Roasts at Zouk offer much more than a traditional Sunday Roast experience. With a selection of Whole Poussin, Mini Lamb Roast, Whole Roast Raan Chicken or Roast Topside of Beef, all roasts are served with seasonal veg, crisp roast potatoes, spicy gravy and a Yorkshire pudding. Zouk also offers Roast platters, serving two or four people, a Saji Roast Leg of Lamb and a Vegetable Tikka roast.

    My friends & I visiting from the USA came here last night for sheesha, drinks, & trinity cream dessert and it was so nice they provided heaters & blankets. It was cozy & such a good time the waiters were so friendly. The next morning we came for brunch and had a mix halal, Indian, & British food. Again most gorgeous atmosphere, great service, & beyond affordable prices. Don’t let the gorgeous posh set up steer you away the prices are so good. The owner came down and greeted everyone & it was beautiful to hear the history and family dynamic in how this restaurant came to be. I have no complaints. Great foods, gorgeous bathrooms (bidet as well), great service, aesthetic gorgeous environment.

    We came as a group of four, for the cooking class! WOW what a morning/afternoon. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to do something a little different as a couple or with friends! All staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and kind! The owner joined us for the whole experience and gave his knowledge and advice. Thank you to the whole team! We will be back for a meal!
