Our story
Our story
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 comes 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.
Our home is designed to look like a traditional street in any of these wonderful cities - colourful, distinctive and different to what we see over here. We have used local crafters and artists to create a setting that is bright, immersive and most of all, fun but in keeping with the real essence of what Indian street cooking is all about – fresh and affordable.
With space for 90 guests, Zindiya is more than a restaurant; it’s a destination where the energy of the Indian street meets the soulful heart of Moseley.
From our signature High Chai afternoons to Bottomless weekends and live music sets, we’ve created a space for every mood.
