ZINDIYA

ZINDIYA is a superb Indian eatery and bar created by husband and wife team, Shivani & Ajay Kenth, who have planned this venture since their teenage years. Their concept was to create an immersive experience of India – drinking chai or Limca, eating chaat and gol gappe, riding a rickshaw – in a casual and fun environment. Over 15 years later, the idea came to life with ZINDIYA. The name is derived from the Hindi word “Zindagi” meaning “life” and the couple’s daughters name Diya, which means light and splendour. The experience of the street markets of Indian cities such as Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata are like nothing on earth. Their exotic and bustling aura is unique and Shivani & Ajay wanted to bring a sense of that culture to the place they were born: Moseley. ZINDIYA is designed to look like a traditional street in any of these wonderful cities - colourful, distinctive and different to what we see over here. They have used local craftmen and artists to create a setting that is bright, immersive and most of all, fun but in keeping with the real essence of what Indian street cooking is all about – fresh and affordable. There is seating for 90 people, including covered rickshaw booths and a bar area which has the finest cocktail range in the village, designed by cocktail expert Robert Wood, alongside local craft beers, hand selected wines from Birmingham’s oldest wine merchant Connolly’s and sweets from the delicious Miss Macaroon. Whether you fancy afternoon chai, a night out with friends or just a quick lunch, ZINDIYA's food and drink definitely brings a little bit of India into your life.

We arrived at 7pm for our meal and eventually left at around 9.30 after just a starter and main course - no desserts or coffee. The food was good but the waiters were inattentive and very slow to deliver the two courses. We were given menus at the start but had to wait ages for drinks and starters. We tried catching the eye of waitresses several times but they didn't seem to be looking and appeared more interested in chatting to one another. They forgot to bring our second lot of drinks. We waited ages for our main course and had to go up to the counter to ask for dessert menus as nobody was paying attention to the care of customers. Apart from ice cream the limited desserts all contained amaretto which was not ideal for one of our guests who can't drink alcohol. Limoncello was brought to the table at the end of the meal but it would have been sensible to ask, just in case anyone couldn't tolerate alcohol. Altogether unimpressed, although the food itself was tasty.

Great food & Service

Had a fantastic meal here, can thoroughly recommend the garlic chilli mushrooms for a starter our waiter kindly took the cost of focaccia off the total as GF wasn’t in stock, other than that plenty of GF choice Only slight criticism is hardly any veggie options but, again, v flexible as I was able to go for ricotta & spinach tortellini without ham, showed the food isn’tpre prepared or bought in! Good deal on week nights too 50% of mains with any starter We’ll def be back!

Absolutely delicious

We are here for a short break and our dinner was by far the best part of our break. Food was delicious and tasty. I had squid starter and it was by far the most delicious plate of food I have eaten in a long time. The restaurant is decorated lovingly the staff were friendly and were informative with what was best to try drinks were kept topped up. I highly recommend

Eccellente

Delicious food, attentive service and great ambiance. I brought two friends with me who’d never been before and they loved it. We’ll all be back. Grazie.
