I have been eating in Zu’s on and off for over 15 years. They always make the same great Chicken Grill, it’s superb, grilled from raw (not boiled first like everyone else). Takes longer but you get a proper grill taste. Always the same standard and great taste. The staff always try to please customers too.

Review for Zu’s, High Road Seven Kings (Uber Eats Order #8808F, placed around 3:00 AM on 18 April 2025) I had a very bad and dangerous experience ordering from this restaurant. I found a staple pin inside a piece of meat in my food. While chewing, I felt something sharp in my mouth—it turned out to be a metal staple embedded in the meat. Thankfully, I didn’t swallow it or suffer any injury, but this could have caused serious harm if it had gone unnoticed. It’s extremely concerning that something like this could make it into a customer’s meal. This kind of negligence is completely unacceptable. I have taken clear photos of the staple and the food for documentation and will be reporting this to Uber Eats and the relevant food safety authorities. I strongly advise the restaurant to urgently inspect their kitchen practices and ensure this never happens again. What happened was not just careless—it could have been dangerous to someone’s health.

Overall the food is really tasty and fresh, especially the chicken grill. The chicken was tender and juicy. The naans are made infront of you. The sitting area is small and the toilet is a bit dirty. Also the service is a bit slow as they receive too many delivery orders. But the food is really good. Highly recommended.

Worst food I had an extremely disappointing experience here. The food smelled & tasted stale, food was cooked several days ago. The vegetables and daals were especially unpleasant. A friend who previously worked there confirmed they sell food that’s 8–10 days old,microwave displayed food to show its fresh, and even reuse leftover sauces from customers instead of discarding them🤮🤮. This is absolutely unhygienic and unacceptable. 🤢🤮 I strongly advise avoiding this place for your own health and safety.

Always dined at Zu’s in Green street, however ever since I’ve moved further down I’ve been coming to the Ilford branch and the taste and atmosphere is the same. Delicious food all around and they’re open till very late. Freshly cooked and prepared in front of you.
