For a private dining experience that blends bold flavour with central London style, Masala Zone Covent Garden offers something genuinely different. Tucked just moments from the piazza, it’s the ideal spot for hosting everything from birthday dinners and business lunches to lively family celebrations – all with a vibrant Indian twist.
The newly refurbished interiors make a big first impression, but it’s the food that takes centre stage. Masala Zone has built its name on serving authentic Indian dishes the way they’re eaten across India – with regional curries, street food favourites, family-style thalis, and richly spiced biryanis all proudly on show. The private dining menu offers a curated mix from across the country, perfect for sharing and full of variety, whether your guests are spice lovers or playing it safe.
Start with a spread of small plates inspired by India’s roadside stalls – like the cult favourite Chowpatty Pani Puri Pops, crispy, tamarind-spiked street snacks you assemble and devour in one bite, or Kathiawari Yam Tikki Chaat, a purple yam and pea mash topped with cooling yoghurt and tamarind.
Then there are the curries, each one with its own story – from the festive Konkani Veg Khatkhate, packed with seasonal veg, coconut and kokum, to the fiery Kolhapuri Paneer with bold spices like black stone moss and sun-dried coconut. Add in expertly grilled meats like Lucknow Lamb Seekh Kebabs and show-stopping biryanis slow-cooked with aromatic blends and floral essences, and it’s a feast worth gathering for.
The private dining space at Covent Garden can host up to 42 guests, with flexible setups and dedicated service. Parties of 13 or more will dine from a set menu, designed to make group dining seamless while showcasing the best of the kitchen. Vegetarian, vegan, and milder options are all easily catered for. Whether it’s a team dinner or a big birthday bash, Masala Zone Covent Garden delivers vibrant food, a warm welcome, and a stylish setting right in the heart of Theatreland.
