    It was my first time at Zaika restaurant and differently not the last. Beautiful cozy venue with absolutely delicious food and great service. We had great recommendations from our waiter Steven. We ordered the samosas, Raj Kachori, hyderabadi lamb shank, Darbari murgh korma, kuttanadan prawn curry and the pistachio milk cake for dessert and all flavours were incredible and I really know my way around Indian food.

    This review would have been 5 stars, across the board, had it not been for the rudeness and lack of tact of the head waiter. We had just finished paying our check and the head waiter tried to rush us out of our table as we started to call for an Uber. It was incredibly rude and disappointing after a nice meal with otherwise nice waiters. Bummer experience for my wife and me on our 17th anniversary and 3rd consecutive Christmas dinner at Zaika. He made it hard for us to consider a return.

    This was my first visit to Zaika. The ambiance was amazing and the mix of a fixed menu (actually 3) and the ala carte menu was clever. The meal was excellent and the service was top notch.

    Good food although the portions are on the smaller size and rice should be included with entrees (it costs 5 pounds). The restaurant is quite pretty and has a nice lively ambience.

    A very stylish restaurant with beautiful lighting and excellent food. Perhaps it’s slightly pricey but, most of time, you get what you pay for..
