Zest offers classic, authentic Indian food with excellent service. Located conveniently in the city center, the restaurant provides a cozy atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff. Although there were some issues with Open Table, the overall experience was positive. Dishes are flavorful and made with high quality ingredients, such as tender lamb. While service was conscientious throughout, some minor inconveniences, like smoking at the entrance, were noted. Despite these issues, Zest is recommended for delicious Indian cuisine, making it a great choice for both casual dinners and special occasions.

Lovely friendly staff and very clean. Tasty food and perfectly prepared. The day-glo chicken tikka masala was a bit loud and unnecessary but overall we would recommend and return.

Very nice meal, well cooked and very tasty. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Only dampener was a member of staff smoked at front entrance and smell drifted into restaurant which wasn’t very pleasant.

Large group in with work night out, offered to to mixed starters for us which was good and worked to minimise waste by recommending sides. A little chaotic at times as it was a big group, but pretty good.

Multiple things wrong with this place: 1. Avoid this place of you looking for Indian food 2. The food was awful and ingredients did not match the dish 3. They did not have proper glasses to serve water and if you ask for a refill, they take your glass away to fill it from the tap (guys atleast invest in a jug if not on a drinking glass) 4. Bunch of guys (not customers, may be friends of the owner) were having a friendly chit chat in the restaurant as if it were their drawing room. Makes it not a nice ambiance. 5. Much better options available nearby Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1

This restaurant can be a romantic place for special occasions, colors of table clothes caught my attention first, its very settled and beautiful. Not sure if it needs reservation to have a corner table which is very secluded with street view. We order to go its lamb kabob. Its full with flavour and a small (really) fresh salad. The people who works there are very friendly. Will definitely be back when we get a chance to visit Edinburgh to try other dishes. Not very wheelchair friendly, couple step up from the street and stairs down to the bathroom. Price per person: £1–10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Vegetarian offerings: Clearly labelled vegetarian dishes
