Indian Zing

Very impressed after a first visit. Inventive, subtle food in a nice quite upscale room. Great lively atmosphere on the night I went. Good service. Was tempted but a little anxious to try indian wine and was not disappointed at all. The wine was amazing, very unusual, but perfectly paired with the food. The wine list is carefully and well constructed. I can't wait to go again.

Me and my partner went to the Indian zing restaurant on 16 July 2009 for the dinner. It was our first time on that restaurant. Restaurant and surrounding seems nice but the food quality was absolutely digester. I order the starters that was a sizzling dish (lamb tikka) and my partner order the onion baghi but both of them were not cooked properly. I try to cut the lamb but it was tender and tough. Similarly, the onion baghi was not of a good quality too coz it was not cooked properly. I had try on the different Indian restaurant before and I feel like probably it was just an error from their kitchen staffs and did not say anything about it. For the main course I ordered the Chicken medium dish but the chicken was over cooked and was extremely specie and hot. I ask the waiting staff to call his manager and he went to call and the manager was extremely high temper and rude guy, without apology he told me that is his restaurants standard and he cannot do anything about it than he just walked away. I was so shocked and surprised that he don’t care anything about his customers and when I see the different websites and reviews I feel like is this really is a genuine reviews from the people who went there and had a dinner on that restaurant. Other thing I got to express it here is that the… More

My partner and I had been fancying a spicy number for a while, and with little to choose from locally, we plumped for a spot as far West as we could and according to SqM that = Zing. Mid-week, a mixed clientele had just about filled the place by 7.45p.m. and those that left before us were soon replaced.
Shared mixed platter did more than just whet the appetite and soon began to satiate the tum. Worried that I’d eaten too much before five dishes were about to arrive, the waitress reassuringly suggested we relax and take our time. However, even in summer I don’t find sitting in a draught relaxing and we’d already moved once, so I didn’t quite appreciate their welcoming open door policy, but I would know where to sit next time. A lamb dish intended to be very spicy was by no means overpowered by the sauce, though I preferred the aromatics of a milder chicken stew. I’d also recommend the smoky aubergine and corn dish.
Overall an attractive menu offering a good selection of rice, breads and side dishes + drinks. I love the food at Amaya but here I much prefer the atmosphere. Service was saved by several of the staff being very pleasant and helpful, but a few were in need of further training with some emphasis placed on the smile perhaps.

Visited here recently for dinner for the second time and was not disappointed. Nice atmosphere, good service and table linen and very, very good food – a curried mussel starter was sheer heaven and the house Jalfrezi was spot on. Rice fluffy and not over-flavoured, nan bread hot and crispy and Kingfisher (or was it Cobra?) lager; what more could you want?

I will be back.
