    The service is great. Disappointing food the lamb had good flavour but three pieces was toooo little The fish curry was excellent but two tiny tiny pieces of fish is frankly not acceptable I ate at the restaurant several times but the quantity was much better. To be honest I will not come again and will definitely not recommend to friends and family I will go to other restaurants in London such as Trishna

    We had the pleasure of dining at Zaika, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Every dish we tried was bursting with authentic Indian flavors, perfectly spiced, and beautifully presented. From the aromatic curries to the freshly baked naan, each bite was a testament to the chef’s skill and attention to detail. Our waiter, Mohammed, made the evening even more special. He was incredibly attentive, ensuring our glasses were always full and our needs promptly met, all while being warm and approachable. His thoughtful recommendations helped us explore new dishes we might not have tried otherwise, and we loved every single one of them.

    Amazing ambience housed in an ex bank with the original architectural highlights. Chef Rajat Sinha’s take on standard fare like samosa’s and kachori is amazing. The paneer is made in house and it melts in your mouth. His variation of scotch eggs with quail eggs was to die for. All dishes were amazing and it was a feast where we ended up as gluttons. Thank you for a amazing experience
