Zam Zam Special - £4 for lamb curry, chicken curry, veg curry or chicken kofta curry with a rice or naan. This is about as near to a Curry Cafe experience you can get on this side of town. It's a good deal and the chicken kofta, pictured bottom left was good, however, future visits have found the chicken and lamb curries to be pretty much generic 'takeaway' type stuff and not all that inspiring.
Only open a month at the time of our first visit Zam Zam found its feet pretty quickly, producing some of the best Pakistani kebabs (and curries) around these parts. Tadoori Naan, freshly and well grilled meat, good salad and sauces and pleasant service make this place hard to beat. There are a number of freshly cooked curry dishes and starters availble - which are excellent also - nihari, karahi gosht (on the bone) and the tarka daal stand out. Zam Zam is a welcome addition to centre of Chorlton. However, numerous visits since our first haven't completely settled our minds, when it's great it's great - when it's not great it's only alright. This usually depends on whether the main man, Taz, is at the tandoor or not - which makes scoring quite difficult, however we'll go with our initial good impressions.
