Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the service, with the servers repeatedly described as friendly and attentive without being pushy. One family had a free ice cream with a candle and the birthday song, and another had a dessert brought out with music and clapping for a child's birthday. On the food, diners name the lamb Sookha Bunah, garlic chicken, karrillah gohsht and chicken dopiaza, along with the chutney tray and naan. One parent said the kitchen made a no chilli chicken curry for the kids, and another noted there were no kids menu items but the mild malai chicken worked. The glitzy riverside room draws praise for its lighting and curved seating, though one reviewer warns the Punjabi dishes can be brutally hot.

“We got the fish pakora, the tray with dips, chicken korma and the grill mix. We haven't been in months and it did not feel the same. We booked during the 50% weekday offer and I glad I did not have to pay full price for what they offered.”

“We came from Bradford & had such a lovely experience at Easzeast in Manchester celebrating my mum’s birthday. The food was really nice and the service was even better. We were served by Zeeshan, who was genuinely so friendly and attentive throughout our visit. He kept checking in to make sure everything was okay without being overbearing, which really made us feel looked after. When I mentioned that it was my mum’s birthday, Zeeshan went above and beyond. He played the birthday song and brought out an ice cream with a candle for her, completely free of charge. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made her birthday feel extra special. ❤️ A big thank you to Zeeshan for making our visit so memorable. His kindness and excellent service really stood out, and we’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Come here for my friends birthday, food and service was amazing. The waiter Zeeshan really went out of his way to make us feel welcome and went the extra mile. Many thanks”

“A great menu with fresh and flavoursome food, beautiful naan and good service. The karrillah gohsht and chicken dopiaza were both amazing as were the starters. The only minor issue for us was there were no kids menu items but we just ordered the malai chicken and naan which was mild and not spicy and they enjoyed that.”
- Kay Sanger
“We had a lovely time at the restaurant, a nice atmosphere. The food was lovely, they accommodated my kids no chilli chicken curry, which was amazing. The staff are so attentive and friendly. Really accommodating. It's my son's birthday and they bought a lovely dessert out and made a nice fuss with music and clapping. Our servers were Carol and Zeeshant, can't praise them enough!”
