Zouk will also be taking care of customers by greeting them with a gift of stuffed dates on arrival plus fruit chaat, dates and water on the table. Once seated, guests can go up to the buffet and enjoy the daily selection of food which will include salads, starters, curries, lamb raan and a selection of accompaniments.
