Zayna: An Invitation to Experience Authentic Culinary Delights in London

I enjoyed the best food there many times when this restaurant was "SAHIB RESTAURANT" under the supervision of Mr. Shafi (Manager) from Pakistan. Nice food with very good service by Mr. Hussain (waiter) from India. I have good memories of this place.

I had a lovely time here with my friends. Great atmosphere, well decorated and welcoming place and service. Food was very tasty. beautiful and cosy ambience. I would defiantly recommend this place.

We’ve been coming here for almost 12 years. In the constant sea of change it is the one constant perfection. Overall we never had a bad or even mediocre experience. The food is delicious and the service is great. Highly recommend! One of the best restaurants in town, absolutely worth the money.

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 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.

Excellent food and ambiance. One of the better Pakistani restaurants in London. Taste was much better than I expected. Portion size was small though and when I told the staff they said it’s a per person portion which is not mentioned on the menu or explained in advance by the staff when we ordered.

We had a wonderful experience at this lovely Pakistani restaurant. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. A special mention to Sajjad, who looked after us so well throughout the evening — he was attentive, polite, and made sure everything was perfect for us. The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavours and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, making it a perfect place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. Highly recommend visiting — we will definitely be coming back soon!

We were absolutely amazed at the delicious food we enjoyed here. Everything was perfection in its flavour profile. It reminded us of our mom’s home cooked meals which is high compliment for any restaurant. Strongly recommend this place . Ambience is elegant. There was no delay in being seated. Service was on point. Methi and mango lassi is highly recommended.
