"Myself and my wife have been to Zayna four times during recent trips up the Chiltern line to London and it is, quite simply, fabulous. The curry is second to none in central London and as true Brummies, we know our curries . We have been, in previous visits to more expensive and well marketed Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani eateries in and around Marylebone and Fitzrovia one of which is even boasted that he unmissable hideousness of a table full of loadsamoney noisy oafs which I don’t seem to recall were part of that particular restaurant website’s sales pitch. In any case, none can touch Zayna. We had Mukhun Murgh, Aloo Gobi, and Tarka Dhaal. We accompanied our mains with the sublime garlic naan you simply must… peas pilau, and the garlic pilau chef’s kiss . So, we will keep going back. The hospitality from Shan and his staff is always one of the warmth and good humour. The cuisine is excellent. The atmosphere cosy, and the personal touches of a family run restaurant there for the keen eye to see. It’s worth it alone for the two magnificent hand carved mirrors that adorn one wall, that took one man and one chisel six months to complete. You must go."

Best lamb chops in London! Lahori chuneh were excellent. Good prompt service. Pricey, but worth it.

This was recommended by a friend as the best Pakistani restaurant in London and it was very close to our hotel. The food and service was outstanding. We had multiple dishes and shared them. All were fantastic. I will come back here for dinner again.

We were here for a family get together of 10 people. The staff couldn’t care less and we had to ask several times for cutlery and even for water! The portion sizes are extremely small, taste is OK but nothing special. Won’t go back nor recommend to others.

NOT HONEST Terrible. tiny plates that come with nothing. each tiny portion of rice they charge 5 pounds. but they don't even tell you that. horrible service. they throw the dishes on the table, they don't take away the used ones. this 4 star review is false. flee. View menu

Worse experience… Was recommended this place by a kinda close family member and believe me it spoiled my evening as well as gave is a stomachache… I am not even from UK as I came to London on my holidays from IRELAND, but now I am not even gonna see my mate who recommended me this place.. £69 straight to the bin

Good Indian food in London Town is a plenty.. this little hidden gem of a place is quaint, very clean, pillows on the tables to one side.. comfortable. Indian music not too loud but just right.. everything I had on the menu was lovely but to highlight just one dish the mango salad was fresh, not to ripe, slightly crunchy with all the right additions.. try it for sure. Coming back
