I didn't want to post anything negative; teething problems are inevitable in any new venture. The only criticism we had was of the service. I've waited on in many establishments over the years so can say with some conviction that our young waiter must have only started his job that day. I've never presented or been presented with the bill 'verbally'. A bit taken aback at the lack of platter with neatly folded bill, we were more shocked when the waiter advised '£31.50 please...' like it was goods we'd just purchased in a shop.! ..... not even a mint imperial either :) ---- it's not a big issue and I'm sure it'll improve. |
Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others -even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. |

i do agree , poor service can totaly ruin a meal even if the food was out of this world, its all about the full experience you pay for.

Well I did not make it in for a meal.....
But did get a take away on Sunday......and it was deffinitly the best I have had in the area...In paticular the Channa Dhal, and chicken tika dish I had
It was pricey for a take away, but got 10% discount for this.....and came in what I can only descibe as the 'posh'est take away bag ever!'
all in all ...a very good feed and filled me to the point of not being able to peel myself of the sofa for most of the night!

We had a meal there on Sunday, Goan Fish Curry (monk-fish n case you were wondering) for me and Paneer Lababdar for Zara, both delicious. Lemon Rice (with was a lot more extraordinary than it sounds) and a really beautiful Shiraz (at a very reasonable price) to go with it. We also took away a doggy bag in what we would also describe as the poshest takeaway bag we've ever seen.
Would highly recommend a visit, including a glowing endorsement for all the food choices that we had and the service. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. For those reports of poor service that have been posted, chatting to one of the owners it seems that they've struggled finding staff; so those that are there are putting in a lot of hours and most of the others are new to the trade. All I'd say is that everyone has to start somewhere so give them time.

Good evening.
Although I have not yet visited Zayka I have spoken to people who have and the consensus of opinion is the food is excellent, the service is on the slow side and the prices are expensive when compared to other restaurants in Whaley.
I will wait until Chairman Jon the Whaley One gives us his review of his evening at Zayka before I try out the new establishment.
Chairman Jon has an excellent reputation for providing detailed and unbiased opinion which is evidenced by his review of Furness Vale Chippy.

It's good to see our MP Andrew Bingham going out of his way to promote a business in Whaley Bridge.
