I came here in mid February, shortly after the restuarant had had its makeover under new ownership.  The interior feels light, spacious and the creamy decor helps to give a nice, relaxed atmosphere.  It tries to give a fine dining impression, but the spindly metal chairs and tables kind of let this look down.  The waiters are pleasant, and the service is about what you would expect in any restaurant.\nThe food is by far this place's key feature.  The menu has a good range of authentic Indian dishes with plenty of meat and vegetarian starters and main courses to choose from.  Further, it tries to incorporate local history with its Indian cuisine.  For example, I had the Sir Walter Scott curry which was lamb in a really rich, tasty mustard sauce.  I'm not sure what the link between this dish and the author is precisely, but you can see what they're trying to do.\nZest is also reasonably priced, making it a great option for lunch of dinner if you're in the area.
