About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Vegetarian-friendly

Indian Zing restaurant in Hammersmith has won rave reviews its modern, light yet robustly-flavoured Indian food. Indeed, it’s one of Fay Maschler’s Top Five Indian restaurants. Formerly Deputy head chef at Chutney Mary and Head Chef at Veeraswamy, chef-proprietor Manoj Vasiakar has got the traditional / contemporary mix right on the money. Deciding what to have is agony – so make your mates promise to share, then start with Prawn and Aubergine Kharkhatla and move on to the delicately-spiced Fish Shirale (cooked in coconut milk and finished with onion and tomato masala) or the crackingly good Duck Chettinad. With spot-on service, elegantly relaxed surroundings and very reasonable prices, this Indian will make your heart Zing.

We had the mixed platter, which was really tasty. This was followed by prawns in a pomegranate sauce and chicken jalfrezi, with lemon ginger as well as pilau rice, nan, spinach & dal sides. Everything was fine including the service; the only thing we would’ve liked would have been able to order 660ml beers rather than 330ml. But we each ordered two bottles. We asked for pint glasses but they didn’t have them.

Amazing food and atmosphere. I’ve used Indian Zing for takeaway for years because it’s so convenient, but I recently came in to eat with my family visiting from France, and they absolutely loved it. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the whole experience was fantastic. Highly recommend!

After an initial understanding this was a great experience. OpenTable confirmed our reservation at 2:30pm, but when we arrived there it was closing. The staff agreed to honour our booking. The food was excellent - the house special, jumbo prawns and Lamb Roganjosh. Both of them with lots of flavour, but with just the right amount of spice. I think the problem with the booking was more due to OpenTable than Indian Zing. If we are ever in the area again we would definitely go again and we highly recommend it.

We love it here - our go to Indian restaurant, been several times. As well as favourites/popular Indian items they have dishes that are not just the 'usual' - so can always try new things. We will keep going back.

3 of us had great food. Mine was incredibly salty, so I sent it back. The replacement dish was supposed to be a dansak, but was so bland, like butter chicken. I ate it, because a) I was hungry and b) we were with guests, and you can't spend the evening sending food back. There was a table near us of 8 or 10 noisy blokes, talking utter rubbish at high volume. Not offensive, and I guess not the fault of the restaurant, but it just made us want to leave asap. The wine is overpriced.
