We were craving biryani and ordered spicy biryani . This biryani was not biryani it was a pulao with meat pieces . It did not satisfy at all and the spice was over the top as well . I wouldn't recommend this place :/

Awesome food! We ordered dinner for 2 - five course dinner.Soup, 2 samosas, papad, 2 entrees, rice, naan, chutneys, raita followed by Desserts and Tea. Amazing!!! Great taste of everything. Naan was nicely done and fluffy. Dessert- pistachio kulfi was awesome.Parking: Road side parking which is free!

We tried the buffet and it was one of the worst Indian foods that I tried. On the positive side, they had nice variety in starters, vegetarian and non-vegetarian food but most food tasted so basic. Shahi paneer, butter chicken, chicken munchurian, chole, saag were all bland or may be customized only for Americans. Naan, Dosa and sambhar was only good out of all the food. I wont try again.Vegetarian options: There were good share of vegetarian options to try.Kid-friendliness: They provide high chair for the kids and food is bland for kids so I guess we can call that kids-friendly.

The service at Zaiqa is excellent, with attentive staff who are knowledgeable about the menu and eager to ensure guests' comfort and satisfaction. Our waiter provided insightful recommendations, and each dish was presented with care, From delicate appetizers to bold main courses, each dish was a masterpiece. Recommend Manoj he was great

Stopped here for a quick lunch. We ordered samosas, dosas, garlic Naan, chicken tikka masala, and butter chicken. They didnt have butter chicken on the menu but the server checked with the kitchen and the chef was willing to make it for us. Food was served very quickly, nice and hot! Authentic flavors and sauces. I eat spicy but we were with kids and asked for the spice level to be mild. Was perfect for them.

Zaika has become our go-to for awesome Indian eats! It's this cozy, family-owned spot that feels like a home away from home. The food? Insanely delicious.The staff is super friendly, adding this cool, personal vibe to the whole experience. We've heard their weekend lunch buffet is the bomb – definitely trying that next time.

I really like the food here. I used to work downtown and at the time I would go for the lunch buffet that was such a great value. Now I ordered from a delivery service and for what I received I think it was very expensive. The restaurant itself is a much better option. They have nice staff and the portions are better it seems. It is a nice cozy atmosphere.

The dining experience at this food place was disappointing overall. Unfortunately, several aspects fell short of expectations. The food served was notably cold, lacking in flavor, and particularly disappointing was the gravy prep, which seemed to contain pre-boiled chicken devoid of taste. Cold items were a consistent issue across the table, and both the starters and entrees failed to impress, leaving much to be desired in terms of taste and presentation.Another concerning aspect was the unclean glassware on the table, which is unacceptable in any dining establishment. However, amidst these disappointments, the one highlight was the Garlic Naan, which was served hot and seemed to be the only redeeming item from the entire experience. Overall, the food quality, temperature, taste, and hygiene standards left much to be desired, making it a regrettable dining experience.
Very nice place to try out Indian items. Thoroughly enjoyed the kabab and food here. Good portion of rice is also being served with Kababs. Really enjoyed the food and would definitely recommend anyone this

I love well prepared Indian food, of which there are many different preparations. I went with an old standby, chicken Tikka Masala, garlic naan and rice. I have eaten these dishes many, many times. The naan and rice were excellent, well prepared. Unfortunately, the chicken masala was a disappointment. Traditionally the chicken is prepared in a tandoor, fundamentally tandoori chicken. In this case, the chicken was tasteless cubes, obviously not prepared in a tandoor, but was by prepared by a short cut that robbed it of the essence of the dish. The chicken did also not take on the taste of the masala. I thought the masala itself lacked the richness and creaminess I have come to enjoy. Is this just a local/regional variant, that does not mesh with my taste? Perhaps. Nonetheless I will probably not return. On another note the staff was friendly and attentive. Parking was on-street only.
The weekday buffets are good. The choices are limited, but they are all very good generally. Also they provide fresh garlic and plain Naan , right out of the oven.Also the price is very
