We had an absolutely wonderful dinner at this lovely Indian restaurant. From the moment we arrived, everything about the experience was fantastic.

We tried the lamb biryani and absolutely loved both the presentation and this particular style of biryani; it was beautifully served and full of flavour. All the food was delicious, and we truly enjoyed every part of our meal.

The service was exceptional. The waiters were super friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. To finish, we tried the homemade ice creams, which were delicious; especially the pistachio and zafran.

Just before we left, the waiter kindly prepared a small digestive for us, which was such a thoughtful touch and the perfect way to end the evening.

We’ve just moved to the area and will definitely be making this our new go to Indian restaurant. Highly recommended!

We decided to go to Zari Restaurant last night after hearing great things about this place.
It certainly didn’t disappoint! The moment you walk in you’re greeting by a member of staff who will show you to your table. From that moment on, you’re attended to by some wonderful attentive staff who go above and beyond to make your experience as enjoyable as possible! The food comes out quickly and is beautifully presented. It tasted amazing! They do a choice of alcoholic and non alcoholic cocktails. Mine was cool sunrise (I think) it was super refreshing 😄
We sat for a while after our meal and enjoyed the ambiance. We never felt rushed to leave. I cannot fault this place. It truly is a gem!
It’s fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere with friendly, knowledgable staff and outstanding food!
Thank you Zari, we will be back ❤️

Best Indian food near Gatwick airport!

Things that really stood out for me:

Gracious, friendly, professional service - everyone has a real passion for the quality dishes created in their kitchen.

Lovely twist (literally!) in popadoms

Immaculately clean crockery, cutlery and glasses. Warm plates for every dish. Cobra beer on draught. Beautiful pint glasses.
Very clean lavatories. Unobtrusive chilled music to dine by.

Herb and spice blends are all made by the chefs in house.

Great variety of both popular Indian classics, and also some very special regional dishes.

I will definitely eat at Zari again when l am next in the Gatwick area.

We had an amazing first time at Zari restaurant. It was a family get together and my sister’s birthday and Zari came recommended to me and it didn’t fail. Each of the meals we got for 10 of us was so tasty and well made. The chef gets our applaud. The chine was authentic with fresh ingredients and scents to make your mouth melt. The atmosphere was nicely furnished with a feeling of being in India itself. We’d definitely book again and have a meal again in the nearest future.

We were a group of 6 on a busy Saturday night. They have a great choice of dishes and good vegetarian and vegan options. The food quality and presentation was superb and the service was excellent, especially considering that the staff were very busy. I really enjoyed the lamb biryani and the flavour of the prawn dhansak was exceptional. All the dishes we had were good! They made us feel really welcome. I would definitely recommend.
