    Terrific food and Service. It’s a must. The restaurant was warm which is so important. A lot of restaurants are cutting back on the heating Zaika dosent. Can’t wait to get back

    The Lamb shank Hyderabad is one of the best lamb dishes I have eaten anywhere in the world! Our waiter AKBAR not only provided an excellent service, but was also highly entertaining.

    The restaurant is lovely and its the perfect surroundings for a lovely evening out. The food was lovely, not huge portions I have to say and it is I think, a little too expensive for what you get. I would recommend it though!

    Absolutely fabulous! We ate here in 2016 and it blew us away, was apprehensive to come back because it had been so good the first time however we were blown away once again! The cocktails, food, service and overall ambience were out of this world! Cannot wait to come back! Don’t walk, RUN to Zaika!

    Excellent original Indian food. No English twist to it. Staff are excellent at helping to choose menu. Great experience. Can not praise enough. Try Raj Kachori!
