• Contemporary indian • Castelnau

Booked 2 times today

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.

Choosing Anima based on only 2 available reviews was a bit risky, but the reward was amazing. Certainly not your typical Indian restaurant, but absolutely terrific. Great cool and hip vibe, lovely upbeat music, super attentive server and then there’s Louie, the resident French bulldog that personally welcomes all diners. The food was great! The bang bang cauliflower amazingly flavorful AND not mushy! The Rogan Josh and Murgh Malai were super. One as spicy and deep as the other was delicate and soft. The basmati rice was perfect to catch the fragrant sauce. If I had one minor thing to nit-pick, it would be the Naan, which while tasty, was not hot enough and lacked that charred crustiness of a tondoor-baked naan. Other than that, highly recommended!!
