Zara Indian Buffet (Dronfield)

Staff very welcoming. Buffet system explained and proved easy and actually better than having the dishes brought to you, as you could try small amounts then go back for more of your favourites. Decor and atmosphere relaxing and tasteful. Suitable for couples for larger groups. Food excellent with a wide enough variety to suit all tastes, from salad to mild ,subtley flavoured dishes through medium specials to hot vegetarian and meaty dishes.
The only negative was the choice of desert. To put cheap and nasty cheesecakes on offer with such great indian food was puzzling and disappointing.
Overall, highly recommended and the best indian food we have tried!

Zara was named in recognition of the owner's first child. The owner seems to have caught onto a growing trend towards buffet restaurants. This has been a long time coming!

For a fixed price of £9.95 per adult, or £6.95 for under nines, diners can help themselves from a range of starters, curries, side dishes and desserts. Bear in mind these prices could change, so check when booking a table. Drinks are extra. One drink that is particularly worth trying is Mango Lassi at £1.50 a glass. It's delicious. ...  Read the complete review
