You should take Persian off of your description. I do not see anything Persian on the menu. Saffron drizzle, maybe your beef kabob. Was highly anticipating you restaurant but was let down. Good luck.

Was biking down main street and saw Zaya was open and grabbed a seat at the bar. I’m really glad I did! The food was so good—everything was full of flavor and came out perfect. I’ve never had Indian food before, Definitely some of the best food I’ve had in a while. Brian, the bartender, was awesome. Super friendly, attentive, and knows his stuff about the menu and cocktails, made the whole experience feel really welcoming. Great food and great service. I’ll definitely be coming back.

*Atmosphere was upscale and great for a dinner date. They had Indian music playing in the background, which was very appropriate. I don’t want to hear anything else and the music must immerse me in the food cuisine I’m going to experience.
*Service was impeccable. My server Blas, was the BEST. He made great recommendations and took his time to answer my questions on the dishes and even went to ask the Chef for suggestions as to my likings.
*Food- Well, this will be my first choice when I want Indian/Persian food. It is DELICIOUS

We had the pleasure of having dinner at Zaya. All the food that we tried was delicious. The menu consists of traditional foods but with a unique twist and flair. From the beautiful presentation to the flavors that were perfectly balanced and blended it was a wonderful dining experience. We tried the dahi puri, the lamb chops that were cooked perfectly, the beef shawarma and the chicken chettinand, and everything was amazing! Will definitely be coming back. Additionally, the ambiance and the service was great as well.
