    Returning after a cookery experience and meal 15 years ago we were not disappointed. We had the Taster menu and it was outstanding, a perfect selection and amount. Our waiter Steven could not do enough for us and was extremely informative about the food. Definitely worth the money for an amazing evening - thank you Zaika ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Absolutely fabulous! I went to Zaika 6 months ago when I was visiting London with my friend. Now that I am back in London with my husband, we had to go again. We are celebrating his birthday and they gave us top notch service. Table for two with window view of Kensington Park. Wonderful appetizers, meals, sides and drinks. They topped the evening off with a special birthday ice cream with a birthday candle. Everything was top notch. I highly recommend.

    Booked table for 5.30pm (opening time),& started with a glass of wonderfully crisp English Prosecco. Had two starters: baked Veg Samosa, which came in the form of 3 slim cones, on a bed of crisped rice - spicy but beautifully flavored. Second came the 2 Welsh Lamb ‘scotch eggs’, surrounding a Quail’s egg in each & on a bed of rocket - sooo moist & tasty, now my favorite Indian starter!! I had a glass of Rose wine with both dishes which complemented them perfectly. Chose the Lamb Biryani with sides of Okra & Black Lentil Dahl. Lamb was chunky, moist & lean; Dahl wonderfully earthy & Okra clean & precise. Chose a glass of Rioja Crianza(2019) - another winner! Had Pistachio Ice Cream and a glass of Whistle Pig Rye Whiskey to finish…both of which were perfect!! Plenty of attentive staff on hand to provide excellent service. Possibly the best Indian meal I’ve ever had & can’t wait to return!!

    Exquisite Indian food at it's best. All dishes were cooked perfectly. The tandoori sea bass was the best I have eaten anywhere. The restaurant is spacious and it was easy to make a relatively last minute booking for a Tuesday evening. Service was quick and attentive. I look forward to my next visit.
