Unique Indian restaurant in London

While we were in London, the four of us decided to look for a good Indian restaurant. We were told by our tour director to try the Masala Zone Covent Garden. We walked to the restaurant which was located not far from the Royal Opera House and the Covent Garden Market.

The front of the restaurant was unassuming and fairly normal looking, however, when you entered the restaurant it was uniquely decorated. Inside the restaurant, they had different types of dolls on display.

Even on the ceiling and some of the walls, there were dolls on display.

We did not have a reservation and the restaurant was fairly busy but we were fortunate that they had a table available.

We sat at our table and enjoyed looking at the different dolls that were on display throughout the restaurant.

We ordered an Indian dish called “thalis” which is a traditional Indian dish you share.  The thalis dish was a mix of different foods and included curry plus little bowls of varied dishes.

The meal and atmosphere were excellent and we really enjoyed the thalis dish. Afterward, we decided to take a walk around the area before heading back to the hotel.

We went and looked around the Covent Garden Market which is a popular spot in London.

We explored the market and then went to the central square at the market. We came across a street performer from Canada who was doing a show.

We stopped to watch for a while before eventually heading back to the Hotel. Overall it was a very enjoyable evening out with friends.
