Zesty India

It is very clear the owners take a lot of pride in their restaurant. Very clean and great service. I usually judge local joints by the cleanliness of their bathrooms and these were super nice. Food was fantastic and fast. Chicken Curry and Garlic Naan was amazing. (Put a picture in menu photos). Will bring coworkers back tomorrow!

We arrived at the closing lunch time and the food was mostly gone (Cant blame them). Usually the owners will not refill but Zesty staff were sweet enough to prepare the food we requested off the buffet. Being a buffet, it was delicious. The spice level was a little high for some taste buds. However, if don't mind a little kick, it was very good. Then top it off with masala tea.

High quality Indian food, with no gimmicks or short cuts. Worth spending extra $, compared to other Indian places in town. Meat and vegetarian dishes were equally good. Service was amazing and waiters and the owner were down to earth and very accommodating. Stopped by for dinner and we came back for lunch. Would definitely come back for more.

Overall this is a nice restaurant and their prices are great plus they do have a buffet with several entrées. I am giving them 4 stars because they do not understand the issue of cross contamination with their menu items labeled gluten free. Their tandoori that are marked gluten free are cooked in a vessel that also is used for bread products. I would say if you have celiac and eat here be very careful and ask many questions to be certain about the cross contamination risk. Having said that, I did eat here and didn't get sick afterwards but I did have to work to figure out the safest meal.

I've tried lots of local indian restaurants and much like the others, this one is very delicious. I would have given 5 stars, but for the high price it doesn't feel like you receive much in return. I would frequent this place if there was a trade-off, either with larger portions or lower pricing, but as it stands, prices are prohibitively high for eating here regularly. Everything on the menu is about 30% more expensive than other local indian joints.

My wife and I ate here yesterday and we thought it was better than the five other Indian restaurants we tried that are on, or have been on, Baymeadows Road. We were the first ones there for dinner, and the owner himself served us. He was fun to talk to, and he made sure we enjoyed everything. There were no long waits to get our orders. Our water was left on the table in a chilled, cool-, antique-looking, blue glass bottle. The inside of the place was clean and nicely decorated. Contemporary, upbeat, Indian music played. We both thought our food was great. The menu had many wines conveniently organized by the type of meat they pair with. They have both lamb and goat. The prices were typical, except that on Monday through Wednesday, a second dinner costs only half. There are also drink specials...at least I noticed there are for beer...

The chilli chicken is amazing!!! I work as a computer programmer so a lot of my coworkers are Indian. They all love zestys. I can see why. The lunches are cheap and all you can eat and taste great. The food quality is much better than other Indian resturants in the area ( my friends have LITERALLY dragged me to every Indian resturant in jax). The dinners are much better as the food is made way spicier if you ask. The service is polite and the design is very clean and modern. I love this place!
