Zesty Flavours

We are recommended to visit this restaurant, Zesty Flavours. As soon as we arrive, we are warmly greeted by Yogi, one of the partners. He lets us choose any table on the left side, making us feel at ease right away. We start with Chicken 65, Cut Mirchi, and Bonda as our starters. They arrive quickly, one after another. The Chicken 65 is succulent and juicy, though the use of colour preservatives is a slight letdown. The Cut Mirchi Bajji is well-prepared and nicely arranged on the plate. It is fried to perfection, achieving a beautiful golden-brown color. The Bonda is fluffy, and the accompanying tomato chutney is well-balanced neither too spicy nor bland. The Bajji and Bonda take us on a nostalgic trip, reminding us of authentic Telugu (South Indian) village-style snacks. For the mains, we go for Tandoori Roti and Gongura Mutton. The Gongura Mutton is semi-thick, tangy, and pleasantly mild in heat. The mutton used is slightly aged and not as tender as expected, but the bold gongura flavour steals the show, masking that minor flaw. Since we are already full, we decide to skip dessert this time.

The owner of the restaurant is very friendly and he guide us the meal we could try and those he recommended was excellent and it tasted authentic dish of Andra style. Highly recommended and glad we found this restaurant as now we know where to go locally when we crave for authentic Indian dish.

My friend and I, along with our families, planned to have dinner at this restaurant. A common friend had recommended it, praising the good taste, convenient location, and reasonable prices. The service was very friendly, and they suggested starting with Chicken 65, which was fantastic. We also ordered Mysore bonda, but it came with tomato chutney instead of the peanut chutney we were expecting. Although the tomato chutney was good, I missed the peanut chutney, which pairs well with Mysore bonda. For the main course, we had Lamb Dum Biryani and Butter Naan. The Lamb Dum Biryani was top-notch, with the perfect level of spice as we requested. The Butter Naan was decent, and the Hyderabadi chicken gravy we tried with it was excellent. I would recommend this restaurant for its very reasonable prices and great taste, especially if you are near Bracknell and Reading.

Absolutely delicious vegetarian food at Zesty Flavour in Wokingham! Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully cooked. The curries were rich and well-spiced, and the breads were soft and perfectly made. Great variety on the menu for vegetarians, and everything tasted authentic and satisfying. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the service was prompt. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for quality vegetarian food in the area!

We are currently visiting some relatives in Wokingham and have heard a lot about Zesty Flavours serving very good food but at the same time hot and spicy dishes. We still decided to give it a try even without being chilli lovers. However, we were pleasantly surprised as the food tasted amazingly delicious with fragrant spices enhancing the flavours of each dish without being hot at all. We were warmly welcomed by the host, Yogi who was very friendly and was very patient with us while explaining the menu and advising us on the dishes to choose for our first time there. We ordered the chicken malai tikka, lamb chops, saag lamb, raita, garlic naan, cheese garlic naan, peshwari naan and apricot delight for dessert. Highly recommended! We will surely try to go back once again before leaving for Mauritius.

What a treat! The best Indian food I have had in a good long while; up there with the very best. Wonderful mixture of flavours and aromas, served by equally friendly staff. Highly recommended. We will be back for sure.

Just by chance I searched for chaat on Deliveroo and found zesty flavours delivered samosa and papdi chaat to Bracknell, which would save me my normal drive to Reading. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised how well packed and the presentation of both the chaats and lamb biryani, would they taste as good as they looked? The chaat didn’t disappoint, tasted really fresh and truly authentic a mouth full of flavour with each bite, the portion was good but didn’t stop me eating the lot. The biryani didn’t quite me the high standard of the chaats, just lacked a bit of flavour compared to the best biryani’s I’ve had, saying that I did eat every last grain of the excellent cooked rice. Will definitely be using again in the future, was a great find today on Valentine’s Day.
