    I’ve been to Zaika twice in the last eight months, and both visits have been absolutely fantastic! The experience has been consistently impressive, from the warm and welcoming service to the exceptional food. The staff truly go above and beyond to make you feel at home, offering helpful recommendations and ensuring every detail is perfect. And the food—WOW! Each dish is a burst of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with the utmost care. Whether you're a fan of bold spices or subtle, balanced flavors, Zaika delivers on all fronts. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it perfect for anything from a casual meal to a special occasion. Both times I left feeling happy, satisfied, and eager to return. If you're looking for a place where every aspect of the dining experience is top-notch, Zaika is it. Highly recommend!

    Northern and Southern Indian cuisine. A bit more modern presentation than expected. I would prefer traditional Indian taste. Food was ok, although I experienced far tastier in my life. I like the soup. It was well balanced though. We had family dinner and we all ordered starter, main and dessert. Also lovely French wine. Beautiful high ceiling building and service was very good. Lovely fresco paintings on the wall. I am not saying I wouldn’t recommend, but honestly won’t work for us.

    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.
