Zest - Wigan

I hadn't been to Zest since before the Covid lockdown, not because of any negative experience, but simply because there are many dining options where I live. However, last night (04/11/23) we decided to stop by, and I can't believe I waited so long to return! The waitstaff were fantastic, the restaurant was clean and well-spaced, and the food... Oh my goodness, the food was incredible. Personally, I have to say that the Rogan Josh was the best I've ever had, by far. The rest of our group of 8 enjoyed dishes like Chicken Shashlik, Chicken Biriyani, Mixed Grill, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Balti, Jalfrezi, Mild Curry Sauce (with mixed grill), as well as Naan Bread and other sides. Not a single complaint from any of us - it was an outstanding meal and we were all so happy we decided to dine there. And when the bill arrived, we were pleasantly surprised. Split between two of us for a party of 8, it came out to less than £100 each, including a £10 tip. Truly unbeatable value for the quality of food and service we received. We will definitely be returning.

Our visit to this restaurant was disappointing. We celebrated an 18th birthday and experienced some issues. The waiters rushed us to order our drinks and food, even when we needed more time. They interrupted us while we were eating poppadoms to take our food orders, which was not appropriate. The food was bland and unremarkable. I would suggest trying Rema Tandoori in Tyldesley or the Indian restaurants in Atherton for a better dining experience.

Good food, nice staff. We forgot to book on a Thursday night, no problem walked straight through. Everyone enjoyed the food. Cobra good on draught. Been here many times and always had a good meal.

We were a party of 20 people, some were children. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The food was very good, the service was great and I'm so pleased I introduced my family and friends to this excellent restaurant.

5pm dinner for two midweek. Slow and poor service, hardly any conversation from staff. Asked for our order when we were eating a poppadum and dips! The food for starters and main meal were fairly nice, but we were given chicken instead of the chicken tikka we ordered. Overall not very impressive considering there were only a few customers in. Haven't been here for years, unlikely to go back here for more years because others do it better
