Zindiya Streatery & Bar Reviews Summary

Decor and Atmosphere

Pros:

• "The decor was an instant mood booster."
• "Great location, lovely street food vibe decor and amazing food!"
• "The atmosphere was great, quite busy on an early Sunday evening but still room for walk-ins."
• "At first sight, Zindiya definitely mesmerizes you with its nostalgic decor."

Cons:

• "But unfortunately, that journey into a magical country falls short due to mediocre tasting food."
• "The restaurant was on my wife's wishlist based on the feedback and media advert. Struggled for parking for 15mins finally found space on Alcester road."
• "Parking nearby is a major issue as there's very few parking spaces close by."
• "The only downside was the mint sauce, it was particularly salty (I don't think it was meant to be) so maybe just something to check but everything else was great thank you!"

Service

Pros:

• "The staff were all so lovely and considerate."
• "The service is warm, friendly, and lovely."
• "We were hosted to our table by Durga, who was very attentive, provided great food suggestions and a really bubbly personality."
• "The staff came out with a wonderful gesture of a cake with a candle singing happy birthday to our girl."

Cons:

• "Prior to coming I had made a reservation for a birthday and was told they said that there would be a candle in the cake but I did not got anything like this which was disappointing."
• "Waited at least 20 mins between meals to get the next course."
• "Tried the batura and channa, okra fries, and aloo tikki chaat, including chai. Everything was nice but lacked that punch of flavour one would expect from these Indian dishes."
• "Everything felt very rushed as we were given less than 5 min to choose food from the menu and then hurried to pay the bill."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The trio of dosa were super flavoursome. Okra fries were great, super light and crispy."
• "This place serves the most authentic Indian food. My current craving is the Chole Bathura and prawn puri."
• "The food menu has so much choice, good if you’re in a large group, all order something different to share as the choices are amazing."
• "The food was wonderful, and my aunt thoroughly enjoyed her vegan options too."

Cons:

• "But everything we ordered somehow lacked that authentic taste."
• "The food was cold and seemed frozen. Tasteless and nothing like Indian taste."
• "Food was good but for me needed more spice. The decor was interesting and had a nice atmosphere."
• "The food here is really spicy! I was not expecting the dosas to be so hot, especially as other dosas I have had at other Indian restaurants have been used to dip into curries rather than to be used almost like a burrito."
