Zila Indian Kitchen opened in April in St. Matthews, offering a fast-casual version of Indian food. It’s in the Vogue Center, next to Coals Pizza. It’s locally owned, not a chain.
Zila offers a variety of dishes, including rice bowls, but it emphasizes “naanos” — a big piece of naan topped with greens and either curry or kebabs. I tried one with curry a few weeks ago and thought it was a bad concept, because the naan got soggy. This week I tried the kebab version and liked it very much.
The prices shown on the menu are a bit misleading, because the final price varies based on what you include. Still, it’s relatively cheap. My order with butter naan and chicken seekh kabobs cost $10; garlic naan is a dollar more; lamb or salmon costs an extra $2.
