    Don’t book a table at 2:30pm! Kitchen closes very soon after and the whole thing was rushed. Food was totally rushed and subpar.

    This was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had, The ambiance was great but the music was horrible and so loud. With 90s hip hop and disco playing. The toilets were clean but not checked for paper on the floor that had been there for hours, light bulbs weren’t working. The attention to detail wasn’t there and when myself and a few guests complained the staff didn’t care or try to rectify the issues. The food was average with a slight touch on presentation. Not worth the price and I’m not sure how this is on the Michelin guide. You are far better off going to Dishoom around the corner.

    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.
