Cafe Zia

This place seems to have a cult reputation in SW London parts, but I'm not entirely sure why. The food's decent by 'contemporary Indian' (as opposed to traditional curry house) standards but nothing they don't do cheaper or more tastily at nearby Hot Stuff. The staff are very courteous in that rather obsequious subcontinental way but the decor is strange and the whole place is often half-empty, perhaps due to its location on a rather unlovely stretch of Wandsworth Road. Definitely one for home delivery but not sure I'd go back for sit-down meals in future.

Been here for the second time now. Food simply delicious. You can tell it's made with fresh ingredients. Generous portions and impeccable service. We went there with our two years old son and both the staff and the owner have been particularly kind towords us. It's never too busy, which is a shame considered the top quality, but I guess location doesn't help! Prices are slightly higher than your "local curry house" but it is definitely worth it! We'll go back for sure and try to recommend it as much as we can.
