    Chana Masala and Kachumber Salad
    Lisal F.

    Is fast casual Indian a good idea? Short answer: yes. Zila Indian Kitchen is a delightful example of such a thing, offering quick and delicious options for St. Matthews diners. After confirming they cater to plant based eaters, we visited Zila on a Friday evening. Since it was our first visit we opted to dine-in to experience Zila from beginning to delicious last bite. The staff is welcoming and clearly very proud of their food - the person taking our order gave fabulous recommendations and offered suggestions for how to customize several items to ensure they were entirely vegan. Our food arrived within 10 minutes of placing the order, and was SO GOOD. *Masala fries - get these. Crispy, perfectly fried potato wedges doused with magical spice. They substituted tamarind chutney for the standard non-vegan dipping sauce, and it was the perfect addition. *Kachumber salad - beautifully dressed lettuce, cucumber, tomato, purple onions, pairs nicely with the heavier, complex curries. *Chana masala - very good, savory chickpeas with a bit of tang. *Yellow dal - the star of the show, warm, filling, perfectly spiced - comfort food at its best. *Basmati rice - fluffy, tasty, just yes. Pricing is reasonable for the quality and quantity, and there was plenty of seating when we arrived (slightly less as we were leaving, hinting to the popularity). My only wish is that there was a vegan bread option, because this girl loves some naan and I'd love to try a naano (if you know, you know).

    Highly recommended. Creative menu. The flavors are amazing. They're new in town, so get out there and support them!

    Definitely a spot with potential, and up front, I'd recommend trying them out…read more So I got this via delivery since I arrived in town late and was ready to eat and call it a night. Unfortunately, there was no option to request utensils and they didn't include any, so this whole meal was a bust. I'm not taking that out on the review here, just making a note so hopefully they take note to include that option. The hotel I was in didn't have any, and most places around were closing so I was out of luck. I ended up having to fashion some sort of scoop out of the styrofoam container that the rice came in. Did it work? No. But was it at least serviceable? Also no. It was a freaking mess and I basically ended up pitching it. But from what I could taste in between dripping bites all over my hotel room was pretty good! I went with the basics and got a chicken tikka masala. It was not quite the medium spice level, so I'd round up if you like spicey. The chicken was great quality; very tender and flavorful, definitely the highlight. The vegetable samosas were nice and easy to eat so I had two of these which are always good. Same feedback as above, needs a little more spice and flavor in the filling but solid. So all in all, in the unique situation of arriving late and getting hung out to dry on utensils, not great. But the food and prices and everything else were fair to good, so I kind of land in the middle with this one.

Off-putting, but not the end of the world. Once I finally got my food it had the nerve to be BLAND! I was shocked. I ordered the vegetable biryani medium and both my partner and I had to double check I didn't order Mild. I genuinely could not believe the spice level was accurate as my "Medium" tasted so plain. My peshwari naan, which I'm used to being folded tightly with a generous amount of cashews, raisins and coconut, had mostly cashews and I'm not even kidding, only 3 golden raisins. It was slightly burnt, barely sweet, and short of my expectations. Lastly, I would be remiss if I did not mention how LITTLE mango chutney we received. After paying $3 for 2 ounces, the little container wasn't even half filled. I understand it's a small side but that level of stinginess could not go overlooked. I've heard so many good things about this place, but was ultimately disappointed in every area as a takeout order. Admittedly I probably should have ordered spicy, given how I prefer things on the hotter side, but that doesn't change that medium spice should still have vibrant, delicious flavor and my food unfortunately had none of that. I will not be returning. :/
