Ziya Asian Grill

You'll find this polished Indian spot holding its own on the Curry Mile, where the marble tables and contemporary glass fittings signal they're taking things seriously. The menu spans proper regional dishes alongside street food plates, and they've nailed that tricky balance between accessible and authentic without dumbing anything down. The cocktail list deserves attention too – they're not just throwing turmeric into a gin and tonic and calling it fusion. Come for the tandoor dishes and stay for drinks that complement rather than compete with the spicing. It's the kind of place that works equally well for a date or dinner with your parents who think Dishoom is 'a bit much'.
