Zayna is a Pakistani and North Indian restaurant at 25 New Quebec Street near Marble Arch. Its intimate dining rooms offer a warm, composed setting for traditional flavours from Punjab and the wider region, with dinner service running through most of the week.
The menu draws on aromatic spices, grilled meats, slow-cooked curries, rice and breads. Seafood also has a place in the selection, with dishes such as Til Mil Jheenga bringing prawns and a seasoned coating together in one of the restaurant’s established preparations.
Sharing starters before choosing individual mains allows diners to explore contrasts between the tandoor, the pan and richer sauces. The food is halal, while vegetarian dishes provide additional choice. Guests should still confirm individual recipes when dietary requirements are strict.
Reservations are available online, and the restaurant can handle group bookings, private hire and special occasions. Lily’s Room provides a distinct space within the venue for a more secluded dining experience. Allergy questions should be raised directly with the team before ordering.
Address: 25 New Quebec Street, London W1H 7SF, England
