Best Indian Restaurants in South Kensington

Excellent evening, but be careful not to order too much food. It is excellent

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.

The service is as great as the food is. Kind, refined, unobstrusive care for the customers, and an amazing menu of fine indian food from many regions, with the occasional twist of west meets east in the dishes. A wonderful find.

Great dinner experience. Food and service was fantastic. Would definitely eat dinner there again. What I did not enjoy was breakfast the next day. When we walked in for the included breakfast we had the host approach us in front of everyone and tell us we had to pay for breakfast. She kept pointing to 2 menus she was holding and not listening. Tried to explain we were told we had to pay if we wanted the English breakfast but the buffet was included. When we told the host this she did not want to hear it and proceeded to say we had to pay. We finally were able to sit down after a lengthy conversation where everyone was now staring at us. I then watched 3 more parties arrive after us and she did not put them through that process. I’m not sure why she felt the need to embarrass us like she did but it truly tainted our experience after having the best dinner and service the night before.

Best Indian restaurant I have ever been to. Impeccable service, large portions, great value, perfect flavor. Highly recommend!
