Reviews Indian Zing

Best Indian food to suit all pallets and chef Manoj’s masterpiece. Enjoyable food, great ambiance and service is super with friendly staff.

We were pleasantly surprised. My King Prawn Tandoori was delicious, the Samosas too were beautiful. Everything we had was carefully and lovingly prepared.

The place is good for Indian food lovers. I tried vegetarian heere during my business trip to hammersmith. For dinner I ordered roti's and baingan curry. It good to taste. My friend ordered chicken starters. Overall a good place for lunch or dinner. You will definitely satisfy. Ask for level of spicy during your order.

Some friends invited us at these Indian restaurant in HAMMERSMITH, WE HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMED BY the quality of the food and the kindness of the staff. we will try to come back soon!!

Without doubt one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever eaten in. We eat there regularly and have never been disappointed. The flavours and quality are always amazing. Pride and quality underscore every aspect of Indian zing. We are looking forward to trying Indian zest now.

Last Monday was the latest in the Dine with Dos Hermanos dinner series at Indian Zing in Hammersmith. Weeks before, I had put my name in the virtual hat and as luck would have it, my name was drawn, making this my first of these dinners. Organised by Simo

A short walk from Ravenscourt Park Tube station, this Indian restaurant is at the end of a high street with far too many restaurants n close proximity to each other. But clearly Indian Zing seems to be favoured over the others as a few minutes after we strolled in there late on Monday evening it was heaving with hungry customers.

I was invited to review the Christmas Menu and seeing Pork sorpotel, Pork Vindaloo and a Turkey Jalfrezi on their Goan Christmas Menu, I couldn't turn down a week day trip to a part of London that is not quite on my way back home from work.

One bite into the shrimp and fish cutlet had me oohing and aahing and of course greedily craving for more ;) While for hubster the Sorpotel hit the spot. The tangy pickle flavour combined with the fiery Goan paste is cleverly balanced by the palm vinegar while the steamed rice cake - Goa's answer to bread, manages to cut through the spice really quite nicely.

I could happily have had lots more of the shrimp and fish cutlets and continued sipping on aromatic red which the maître d' kindly picked out for me. Cabernet Sauvignon, Les Templiers, Vinde Pays a red wine from France with blackcurrant and blackberry flavours with ripe balanced tannins - perfect match with our starters.

While Chef Manoj left to go check on his guests at his other rrestaurant Rahul continued to fuss over us and we left it to him to bring us his favourite picks from Indian Zing's Goan themed Christmas Menu.

By now the festive spirit had us in it's grips and hubster and me happily reminisced about all things Mumbai, when was the last time we visited Goa and other such happy memories. I was in Std 5 when my parents took my sister and me to Goa for a long vacation and I still can never forget the meal of steamed rice and the fresh catch of the day we all shared at a cute little beach shanty. Of course time has a way of erasing bits and pieces from your memories, something like old photographs in family albums that begin to fade and fray at the edges but the essence of the moment always stays captured somewhere in that picture. That is why food like what we were about to eat brings with a rush of memories, familiar sights and sounds tumble out of old hidden chests in your memory bank...

When Rahul arrived with a huge tray with 4 mains, plain naan, steamed rice and brown rice pulav we couldn't wait to get started.

I had to taste the Zing’s Turkey Jalfrezi with Caramelised Cranberry first though and it is a fabulous marriage of east meets west with perfectly cooked diced turkey which has been marinated in a rich spice mixture served in a thick gorgeous onion, pepper and tomato gravy sauce topped with scrumptious caramelised cranberries.

Hubster on the other hand dug into the Pork Vindaloo, a traditional Goan delicacy, heavily spiced and usually fiery, this dish to me is Goa on a Plate. A hand me down from the Portuguese influence on Goan food , Indian Zing's interpretation results in a dish of melt in your mouth soft pork dish in a rich sauce of slow cooked spices which penetrate through the meat giving it an intense depth of flavour, almost like eating a juicy meat pickle. Mop this up with plain naan - makes a superb combination I say.

Seafood lovers that we both are, we were happy that Goan fish Ambottik was part of the selection of dishes we were sampling. Best consumed with plain boiled rice this fish gravy is seasoned with kokum which gives it fabulously tangy almost sour flavour and the spices give it that familiar coastal curry flavour but with a dash of Goan red chillies. Not for the faint hearted though this is a fiery one but a true Goan dish , do not hesitate to order this. I highly recommend washing this down with several glasses of Gamay, Duboeuf Vin de Pays a Red wine from France, a lively red with a full aromatic character of crushed fresh berries, which is slightly chilled to balance spicy food. ( I noticed that the wine menu had a Sauvignon Blanc from Sula Vineyards in Nashik from Maharashtra state in India and I almost immediately wanted to order us a bottle to take home but have decided to go back and savour this wine on a relaxed afternoon some day soon over a meal of fish curry and rice - ummm)

We ate spoonfuls of Caldinho de legumes in between greedy mouthfulls of the Ambottik and rice. A green herb curry with a gorgeous combination of vegetables and mushrooms smothered in cashew nut gravy this is flavoured with a virgin extract of coconut milk and topped with wafer thin roasted almonds. Absolutely delightful this is a fabulous accompaniment to most of the mains especially the Turkey Jalfrezi. Frankly we couldn't get enough of this green veggie coconut goodness.

While we sat down quietly trying to get all that food down into our tummies, I was reminded of how every year my father used to bring a rich plum cake which we would hungrily devour after our big Christmas day dinner of home made biryani and lots of snacks and special fizzy drinks for all the kids in the family. And if we were lucky Baba would also give us Bebinca - a sweet flour multi-layered cake, which he always got back from his frequent trips to Goa.

No Christmas menu is complete without a showstopping dessert and Indian Zing's spiced exotic Christmas pudding with spicy brandy custard is the perfect ending to a festive feast. All we needed now was a warm bed and the day off work the next day ... ;)

I only wish I was going back for more of Indian Zings Goan themed food especially would love some on Christmas day but I guess my friends and me will just have to make do with what hubster and I manage to make.

If you haven't already called Indian Zing to book a table, then grab that phone and let Rahul book you in for a feast you won't forget.

Sat outside the front on a warm June Wednesday evening and was not disappointed. Great drinks selection, great food, rapid service. i had the chicken tikka - nicely spicy, succulently soft, beautiful flavour - and my better half had the Lamb Raseela which she loved. For mains I went for the Fish Kawari which again had a nice kick to it (with an extra serving of crunchy dry red chillies) and an amazing blend of flavour with the fish cooked to perfection. My fiancée had the chicken korma, which whilst it wasn't your classic peshwari filling in liquid form in a jar, had a nice salt and sweet contrast with what tasted like a generous amount of stock with it. Delicious! Also I'd recommend getting some bread! The roti and paratha are super crusty and will mop up everything on your plate. Lastly we had the Rasmalai milk dumplings - Indian sweets that took me back to my grandparents in Kolkata - and the lady had the apple and fig muesli - a tad sweet but as long as you have a healthy dose of ice cream to contrast, you'll be ok. Can't believe I've been in West London this long and never discovered this place. Will definitely return!

This is from far the best Indian restaurant in London. Since I left the country, each time I am back for holiday I always go to Zing. On every holiday time! the food is exquisite and fine. The price is very good.

Been coming here since I moved to London and it never disappoints. Would recommend the prawn starter, for those who like spice, and the lamb mains, which are cooked perfectly! My absolute favourite restaurant in all of London. The waiters are also very attentive and will remember your favourite dishes if you are a regular.

One of the best Indian restaurants I've been to. The papadums with 3 sauces are great, the vegetable samosas are excellent, and everything we tried was extraordinary. Fantastic service, and the gulab jamum dessert was also top notch.

Had a fantastic meal here last night. First visit on a graduation celebration night. We all said it was the best Indian food we had ever tasted. Service very good and lovely atmosphere.

Just love this place! Seriously the best curry I've had in London - reasonably priced and great service. I've been served by Roy every time I've been and he's truly the best - always recommends the best curries!

Fantastic! We were hungry, the kind that can only be fulfilled by an authentic Indian meal, and the restaurant lived up to its name, adding a zing to everything we ordered. Rahul was a superb host, not only did he make sure we were comfortable, he understood our requirements - dietary & taste (nothing short of authentic), recommended dishes & delivered a fabulous food experience with his team. My wife and I both enjoyed the food & dining experience and will be back here soon for some more appetising meals. RECOMMEND!

I have been eating in Indian restaurants in London for 45 years. This is without a shadow of doubt the best by a mile. It beats the fancy plated Tamarind, Benares, Veeraswamy, Chutney mary Michelin bore temples by a country mile. Real food, served properly, cooked expertly and sensibly. Lovely people, great atmosphere, incredible food. We ate in again tonight but they also have a superb delivery service which never fails.

Indian Zing is an excellent restaurant that offers some of the best Indian food in town. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with a warm and inviting ambiance that sets the stage for a delightful dining experience. I was served by Waiter Kulbhushan and he was very attentive and joyful while serving food to us. ❤️🤗
