    We ordered food for three people: Rajkachori, veg sheesh kebab, and tandoori seabass for starters - all excellent. Kashmiri rogan josh lamb, stuffed aubergine (maharashtran) curry and fish curry for mains, and for dessert, baked kala jamun with rabri and mango kulfi. Multi grain roti worked well with mains, as did steamed rice with the curries in the mains. With Leah Pinot Noir Severin (£77) the bill was £267 (Inc service charge). The food was delicious, with good portion sizes. We will definitely go again.

    We had a great dinner, both vegetarian and one gluten free… the food choices were excellent, all our dishes were extremely tasty and the service was outstanding. Definitely worth re visit in the future!

    We have visited Zaika a few times, a few years ago. We always said we would be back and today we were. It’s easy to give two thumbs up, when from the moment you enter the establishment you’re treated like VIP’s. The food is truly amazing, the presentation out of this world, and the taste leaves you wanting more and more. The eagerness of the staff to please was impressive as was the atmosphere. This is a fantastic restaurant, the staff really were attentive and genuinely seemed excited by our responses when asked how satisfied we were with the meal. Well done everyone at Zaika, I wish I could visit more often.

    Returning after a cookery experience and meal 15 years ago we were not disappointed. We had the Taster menu and it was outstanding, a perfect selection and amount. Our waiter Steven could not do enough for us and was extremely informative about the food. Definitely worth the money for an amazing evening - thank you Zaika ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
