Zaks

My last review on restaurants in Leeds (did I mention that when I reviewed Las Iguanas? If so, pardon me. I forgot that I had food from Zaks).
We decided to order in from Zaks. It was my last night in Leed and we just got back from Fruity Friday, so it was like…2 am and one of the places that’s still open is Zaks.
I think we waited for 30 minutes to finally have our food delivered. I thought that was fair enough. It really didn’t feel like 30 minutes because we were all gossiping and having so much fun. haha
I have to say, finally! I got my fix of Indian curry! I’ve been craving it ever since I got to Leeds and I Zaks didn’t disappoint!
We had the spicy curry (forgot what it’s called, sorry!) and the butter chicken. The only reason I remember butter chicken is because I have been saying it over and over again during the 4 days I was in Leeds, my friends got sick of me mentioning it ²⁴⁄₇. I finally shut up when I got my chapati and butter chicken!!!
I love love love love the butter chicken! perfectly buttery and the chapati was chewy and pull-​able. haha so goood I can cry…
The spicy one was a bit too spicy but it’s good from time to time to switch from the butter chicken to the spicy one.
I wish I have Zaks and my friends here in the US =’(haha oh well. If I were in Leeds, I’d probably order from Zaks for 1 week straight or until I get sick of butter chicken and chapatis. hahaha

There are literally hundreds of takeaway businesses in Leeds so it is sometimes hard to tell one from the other. However after living in Leeds for a few years I have managed to sort the rubbish from the superb (and there is a lot of rubbish!).
A particular favourite of mine is Zak’s! Zaks specializes in Indian cuisine however offers other dishes such as kebabs, burgers, chicken and calzone’s which are just as yummy! (Calzone combo is just amazing!)
Zaks curries are a tiny bit more expensive than some of the thrown together takeaways in Leeds, nevertheless with that extra bit of money bumped on the price, you know you are going to get a quality takeaway! I always order a chicken pasanda from Zaks which comes in at £5 which is really reasonable for a really tasty dish! All their sundries and startes are equally yummy scrummy with a huge selection of nahns, rices and bhaji’s! (oooh getting hungry now!!)
In addition to the obvious Korma’s, Vindaloo’s and Masala’s, Zaks creates dishes created for your tastes. I always add sultanas to my pasanda and they are more than happy to do it, often for free! If you are eating as a group the set meals are a really good idea. Not only do they offer a variety of Indian dishes but are good for money! (Set Meal for 4 could feed the 500 and only costs £30!) Perfect for a night in with film or in my case, X Factor!
My pals always say that Zaks does «THE BEST» donner meat and chips. It is not dripping with grease, it is not dry and is not too large. My girl friends swear by it as their favourite takeaway guilty pleasure!
The pizza’s are the weakest point on the menu and are nothing to rave about. But if you stick to the curry menu, calzones, chicken and donner meat you really cannot go wrong!
