Katee's review of Indian Zing

My partner and I had our first visit here yesterday evening. The staff were very welcoming and once seated we were given a tasty complimentary drink of cucumber and mint, which was a nice touch. Service was a little hurried, but very polite all the same. As a starter we shared Prawn and Aubergine Kharkhatla which was very flavoursome, but only had two prawns in it, albeit extremely large and tender ones. Our main meal, we enjoyed the Chicken Jaffrezi and Saffron Chicken Korma, with Aromatic Basmati rice and Jeera and Saffron Palau. Both of these dishes were excellent, but again, like other restaurants I have tried in the area, the chicken in the Korma was dry and not tender enough. I was disappointed by the garlic Naan bread, as found this to be very small, and more like a pancake consistency. The Papadums were very nice and not too oily. I really think that you would be rewarded to branch out from the ‘common/usual’ dishes so be brave!
There was a small problem with the credit card machine at the end of the meal, which took sometime for the manager to sort out. However, when the bill came, it was accompanied by a small bowl of chocolate raisins and mints – lovely.
