Zindiya Streatery & Bar
22.6 miles from Worcester
Zindiya is an Indian Streatery and bar created by husband and wife team, Ajay & Shivani Kenth, who have planned this venture since their teenage years.
Their concept was to create an immersive experience of India – drinking chai or Limca, eating chaat and gol gappe – in a casual and fun environment.
Over 15 years later, the idea came to life with ZINDIYA. The name is derived from the Hindi word “Zindagi” meaning “life” and their daughters name Diya, which means light and splendour.
The experience of the street markets of Indian cities such as Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata are like nothing on earth. Their exotic and bustling aura is unique and we wanted to bring a sense of that culture to the place we were born, Moseley.
We also take pride in event catering services that will elevate your special occasion. Whether you're hosting a corporate event, wedding, birthday party, or any other gathering, we would love to create a memorable experience for you and your guests.
We work closely with you to craft your bespoke menu and offer a variety of set ups: a street food stall, live cooking stations, buffet style or a sit-down dinner.
Question: What inspired the name of the business?
The name is derived from the Hindi word "Zindagi" meaning "life" and our daughter's name Diya, which means light and splendour.
Question: How do you go about creating an immersive experience of India at Zindiya, especially in terms of the ambiance, food, and overall atmosphere?
Zindiya was created from the heart, no design agencies, just exactly how we envisioned the true essence of India. The handpainted mural, the twinkling fairy lights, the logos on the shutters, the vibrancy, the music, the aroma, the taste.
Question: What are some of the signature dishes at Zindiya, and how do you ensure that they capture the authentic essence of Indian street food?
Samosa Chaat, Onion Bhajis, Chole Bhature and Tiranga Chicken are our favourite and possibly signature dishes. Street food is fresh, affordable and full of flavour. Integral in many of our dishes is our freshly made mint and coriander sauce and our tamarind chutney - both of which have a wonderful balance of spice, tang, sweetness and savoury notes.
