Zinda New Asian, Raleigh/Durham

Zinda New Asian showcases some of the best flavors of Asia from their new location in the heart of up-and-coming downtown Raleigh. Immediately, the interior provides a hint at what diners can expect. Modern iterations of Chinese "moon gates" lined with purple neon provide eye-catching glimpses of the various dining and lounge areas, each dressed up with subtle decor and muted tones that create an air of contemporary class. The menu is a tad more eclectic, regional dishes from almost every Asian territory battling for attention on the lengthy menu. The wide culinary net that Zinda has cast may be a slight drawback, but the variety of flavors and cuisines is just about unparalleled in this area. Zinda also has openings for private events as well as late night bottle service in their upscale lounge area. Trendy interiors and modern tastes make Zinda a worthwhile stop for a cosmopolitan Raleigh experience.
