Boltonian living in Wales gravitates back to Zest whenever she can - a great little find!

We had an ok meal here on 3 March 2013.The restaurant is nice and traditional with a comfortable if slightly old fashioned interior. When we arrived they were hoovering the carpet which was a bit annoying as there were a number of customers seated.The food was nice. We had poppadoms, chicken rani and a fish tikka starter followed by a chicken curry dishes with rice and nan bread. The chicken and fish were lovely as were the accompaniaments. All the portions were a bit small except the bolied rice.We were not impressed with the service which was slow and we did not not find the staff friendly. Some of the food was literally thrown down in front of us. When we asked for sweets they said they did not have any on a Sunday other than kulfi which they said was not like ice cream? I ordered a coffee which I sent back as it was overly microwaved. The replacement was similarly microwaved and was smoking like something out of a Harry Potter film. We would not go back, the food was nice but there are other nicer restaurants in the area with good service and a better choice.

Every time we come to san marco we are very impressed with the quality and service. I'm in the middle of eating my starter at san marco at the moment must say this chicken liver starter was a meal on its own ( devine ) and garlic and tomato pizza the best I've had ! lovely meal and very relaxed atmosphere . well worth a visit !

Brilliant food, loved it. recommend it to everyone :)

Used a living social voucher here, food was very good, lots to choose from & authentic. Service from older guy was efficient, but we can't say pleasant or with a smile, younger guy waiter was very pleasant. Should have had the 1 drink included with the voucher but the older guy said it wasn't so we had to pay, which was annoying as when I double checked once home it should have been.

The Curry Cottage...takes your taste buds on a mouth watering journey through the a many tantalizing flavours that leaves you filled and satifsied and coming back for more.

Damson Heaton Moor is one of my favourite restaurants - great food! Glad to see the same can be said for Media City.Looking forward to going back soon, when i get time off!!!!!

We had a really great meal here on Saturday 23 February 2013. We are not from the area but spotted this as we were driving around looking for Indian or Asian food. Although it was quite early (6pm) the restaurant was fully open and we were given a warm welcome.The interior of the restaurant is really lovely with a rich dark red decor, comfortable seating and nice lighting.The menu had some favourite Indian dishes but also some specials that we hadn't heard of.We (me and my husband) had poppadoms with chutneys. The chutneys were especially nice and they were quite large portions.For starters we had a boti kebab and a mixed grill. Both were excellent; nice sized portions with lovely chicken/meat and salad. The lamb on the mixed grill was particularly excellent.For our main courses we had a chicken masalla dish and a traditional vindaloo with aloo. For accompaniaments we had a sweet peshwari nan bread and some plain rice.It was lovely, fresh tasting, hot, beutifully served and really delicious.We really enjoyed our dinner. I would also like to mention the service which was great, the staff seemed genuinely nice and helpful. I asked for a rum coffee and the waitress made a special point of checking which rum I wanted.We thought that everything about the restaurant was nice and we both said we would go back if we were in the area again.

My friend and I came to the restaurant last night as she has been before and raves about it. I'm pleased to say the food was as she had described...beautiful. Yes it was a touch pricey and not something I could do every week but worth every penny. The staff were very pleasant 10/10 will definitely come again. A great way to finish what had been a great day.

Been going in here for a long time now. Always have a good mea,l staff in morning are great and Ahmed the owner is so polite and helpful. Sarah and Leana are so nice you can have a laugh with them. I can recommend this deli the price of the food is cheap and food is good quality and the place is clean.

Excellent never had a bad meal, and staff are very friendly and £20 special deal is excellent value never finished it yet.

I'm a supprort worker and have taken many of my service users to the Peking court. they love it the food is amazing, the price is good and the hospitatility is second to none. would definitely go again.

I have been in for the first time today, the young ladies were so polite, the place was clean and food good value for money. I will be back

Poor service, one member of staff was unprofessional and rude. She walked away whilst I was talking to her. It eventually became clear that although we had been told if we arrived 30 minutes before our booking we would be seated at the first available table, this was a lie. They knew when we arrived our table would not be available for 8.30, but did not tell us this and told us we could only sit at the table they had allocated to us. The large group on the table we had been allocated had not even ordered desert by 8.40! Nobody told us how long our table would be, or apologised for the delay. Is this a ploy to get people to spend money in the bar? We were eventually seated at 8.55, guess what at a different table, not the one they said we had to sit at!. Again, no apology for the delay. The staff who served us were OK and the food is nice. However, long wait and rude staff spoil the overall experience. Will be going to Smiths in future.

So impressed with the White Room. I went on Valentines day with my partner, we had the steak to share (Chautibriand) off the Valentine menu and all I can say is it was amazing, presentation and taste was out of this world. Recommend this place to anyone who likes fresh food, they even specialise in gluten free which is very hard to find! Well done to the White Room!!

Have been going to the Simla for years. Unlike all the others its never 'gone off' or varied in quality. I have yet to find better.

Will never order again dont see how hard it is to get an order right ..ordered lamb balti and got chicken that i don't like...sort your staff out MASS its rediculous.

Oh my god!!! Fire roaring amazing food, drink, peoplel so nice and great humour, all home made foods, if you ask how things are cooked they know when and where all meats and game came from, how its cooked,even a heater outside for any smokers. Never an attitude if you want to mess with the menu, just go go go!!!!! Best pub I've been in for years!!
