The good thing about this place is how consistent they are,,,in being average. Zayna is one of the most average restaurants I have ever been to in London. I mean there was nothing good or bad to talk about this place.

We went to Zayna on a weekend night and the place was almost full. Good thing we booked ahead. One thing that struck out was there was no customer with an Indian or Pakistani background. This to me is a sign that the food wasn't authentic enough. Nonetheless our hope that this place would be a good British Indian/Pakistani restaurant was dashed when they brought out the food.

The chaat was fine but it was only drenched in yoghurt sauce and lacked the tamarind sauce and mint sauce which are also expected to be drizzled on top. The salmon tandoori starter was just okay. The salmon though felt fresh didn't have the flavour one expects from a good tandoori. The portion was also really small.

The mains were relatively better but not by a lot. We ordered the chickpea curry, prawns masala, naan and mushroom rice. Chickpea curry was like, surprise average and I can definitely make a better Chickpea curry than what this was. Mushroom pulao rice was okay. Prawn masala was the only thing that tasted right but was loaded with oil that kind of kills the mood.

At the end the experience is not worth it for me. The value for the money spent was not good so I can't recommend this place. Maybe non-Indians might like this place but to be honest there are many better British Indian restaurants in London that can satisfy both Indian and non-Indian customers really well. I will say skip this one.

Le restaurant est facile d’accès en transport en commun qui sont très proches, situé dans un quartier très chic de Londres. Les plats étaient très bons mais pas copieux, surtout au prix qu’ils coûtent…bonne ambiance dans le restaurant. Les serveurs étaient sympas et à l’écoute, dommage qu’ils soient pressés de débarrasser la table à peine après avoir posé la fourchette. Les plats principaux ne sont pas servis avec les accompagnements (qui doivent être payés à part..)

I had an average experience in here, the food is too spicy (hot) as expected from such cuisine. But the spices lacked the usual flavors. The prices are a bit steep. However, the place is so clean and the atmosphere is nice with relaxing music

The restaurant location is very convenient and is just 10 minutes walk from Marble Arch underground.
We were in a party of ten guests including children to enjoy the evening meal one Friday evening in August. The seatings were comfortable and the staffs showed great patience in spite of some of us were late arrivals by up to 49 minutes!
Overall food tasted good but the Naan breads were not succulent and soft but hard and partially burnt - definitely not a good value for money @ £4 a piece! The food arrived in good time and was served at right temperature. The Malbec Red was excellent and fresh tasting - it tasted better than the red from when we were in Mendoza, Argentina a few years ago! The service was fast.
The ambience of the restaurant was great especially in the evening with the outdoor seating and the enclosure on the pavement.
Would I visit the place again - most probably yes!
