Omg. This was amazing! So flavorful. So generous and very affordable. I’m so happy to have found this place! This is samosa chaat. ??

I don't know how this place got rated to 4.4 stars, in our opinion it is a disaster. We regret not to ran away twice, before receiving the food. Entering the restaurant the floor was sticky from grease (throughout the restaurant). My friend grabbed three different chairs, before she found a "clean" one. The samosa appetizer was frozen in the middle and the utensils were dirty, with greasy fingerprints on them. Plates were wet, with remaining grease spots. My chicken was undercooked and the garlic Naan was cracker like (instead of being fluffy), dry and the garlic was not defined at all.Positive: the curry was tasty, and our waiter was kind and polite.All together, it was one of the worst restaurant experiences I ever had.

I was there on Thursday night, place was not busy at all but I believe most of the customers get "take out orders". Server recommended lamb Karahi and that's what I went with. Food was delicious and it was definitely the true flavor of karahi. Naans were good and fresh too. Highly recommended place.

Hand downs the best quality and taste food so far in tampa. I had dhuwa chicken with rice and it was amazing. Bough food to take it back home for family and buying some for friends as well.

The worst experience. We came here to attend the orientation of my daughter ,. We ordered the food via door dash, half of my order was missing, we called the restaurant no one answered the call , thanks to the door dash they credited so I order the remaining missing food , still the tea was miserable the naan was just Walmart pitta bread. Daal tarka was only made to throw in the bin , the meat smell so bad. The tikka roll is just the chicken piece in a pita bread ?.no flavor no sause. No coustomer service.Will not eat or order from here ever not at recommended

We ordered a chicken biryani n mutton biryani take out last night and was horrified to see literally thick yellow rice with pieces of meat in it. It’s by far the worst biryani I had in my life. They should never call it biryani, it’s a disgrace.

We ordered the chicken biryani and karahi to go. There was ample food for 2-3 people in one serving. The karahi was really yummy and well made. The biryani left a lot to be desired. I was surprised at how unbiryani like it was considering that most places get biryani right. Some pieces of naan became so hard and impossible to eat after a 30 sec microwave warmup that I couldn’t tell if they gave us old naan that was stale or if they didn’t bake it right?? Overall pretty disappointing for a $40 meal considering all the good reviews :(

I had a five star rating when I had lunch with my nephew , but when we ordered take out Goat Shinwari , chicken kharahi, & goat birjani All three dishes tasted horibile I don't think I will visit this place again Maybe different cook I don't know but off my list from Pakistani food

The worst food I ever had in my life. Today was my fifth visit to this restaurant in last 2.5 years and this will be the last. Last time I visited was 4 months back for a catering order and the quality of food exceeded my expectations. Today we ordered four different dishes and there was nothing that met minimum expectations or did justice to the name of those dishes. Food was unhealthy too. All of us have stomach pain and bloating
There is no doubt, 99% people will post their complaint if they have received a bad service but a very few would take a surveys if you have a good experience. This place is like that to me. Looks ordinary but it’s really exceptional and one person could make a difference , Miss Bruny is like that. An awesome nice and smiley face lady who really makes a difference. Her service is extra ordinary and exceptional. Anyone can try food from this restaurant as she makes it so good. Thank you Bruny for your best services. It doesn’t cost money to be good to the people. Thanks for your always smiley face. You are a great personal. A good human being. I would love to back this restaurant again and again………

Super disappointing........ Came here to break our fast. Saw the buffet which was 35 bucks( slightly pricey) but thought it would be worth it. It def wasn't as all the food was very cold. We let the server know, who was very nice, to see if she can get the pakoras and everything else a bit warmed up which they couldn't. The warmer for the food should have been turned on earlier. There also wasn't any chutney or raita or anything of that sort. Considering you are paying 35 bucks the least the owner/manager could do is give warm food. Chai was also very bad. Prolly the worst chai I've ever had. Food taste was passable. Only good thing was the goat biryani. pilau was ok and so was the Nihari. However the main reason for the bad review is cold food and a pricey cost which wasn't worth it at all.

Amazing little Pakistani place. I had the chicken Biryani and the Samosa chat. Both of which were absolutely flavorful. Had the Gulab Jamoon for dessert. The host was extremely sweet despite it being the rush hour at Iftar. Would love to go back and try some Haleem next time.

ZAUQ is the best restaurant for Indian and Pakistani food. They have amazing food and great prices along with a friendly staff. ZAUQ is located in a great location and they are always on time with my order. I order from here atleast once a week and even more sometimes. If you’re looking for Indian/Pakistani food then definitely give them a try because you won’t ever be disappointed.
