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.

    We couldn’t have asked for a better experience to complement our brand launch! The canapé’s and cocktails catering was exceptional — from presentation to flavor, everything was thoughtfully executed to perfection. Guests were impressed by the options, which offered something for everyone, including delicious vegetarian selections. The custom cocktails and mocktails added a memorable touch to the evening. The presentation was excellent and was matching our brand’s aesthetic. The staff was very understanding and helpful and made sure all of our needs and requests were mer. Highly recommend for any event where quality, service, and style matter. Thanks once again!

    The food was amazing although quite expensive. Specially loved the dessert section despite feeling 9.5£ for each dessert is horrendously expensive. The staffs were very good. Love the service received. However, it's quite loud and noisy. Saying that, some people might love it! So overall, it's reasonable dining with friends. May be not for family so much.

    I had a truly wonderful experience at Zouk Restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and beautifully designed. The staff were exceptionally kind, friendly, and attentive—they made everything so easy and ensured I felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout my visit. The food was absolutely delicious—full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. I was impressed not only by the quality of the dishes but also by the overall service and professionalism of the team. I genuinely enjoyed every moment, and I will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!
