Reviews of Zaika

Excellent food. we had the machli tikka and jhinga for starters. The machili tikka was very well seasoned and simply delicious. For mains we had the pastry crusted lamb biryani and a spinach chicken..The lamb biryani was succulent and spiced well. A true delight. I had a passion fruit cocktail called the janoon which was very refreshing. to end the fantastic dinner we ordered a dessert platter for 2. No real standouts there..but generally pleasant. OVERALL FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE.

The food at Zaika was excellent and a real treat. Service was attentive and there was a good choice of wine. Overall we would highly recommend Zaika as a dinner place.

Oh this is great. Third time I've been there and never dissapointed. Had the crusty Byri*** lovely. Full of lamb. Great will go back soon.

Zaika remains the definitive upmarket Indian in London. Amazing flavours, superb presentation, wonderful room. Only the still-a-bit-gauche service lets it down. The waiters seem to excel in their mate-down-the-pub approach - fine for a local Indian but not befitting the top-tier Kensington prices charged here. Shame, its the only thing that lets Zaika down. Ignore this and you have a truly top notch restaurant. Heartily recommended.

what a fantastic venue! everything was simply beautiful & service understatedly charming. food however didn't encourage a return visit too soon. we shared a mixed starter which for what it cost was too little food, yet tasty. the mains looked good but just didn't taste right. my guinea fowl was overmarinated & overcooked and some mashy side didn't work with it and truffles were wrong in it. Perhaps good old simpler curry would be better...

I'm quite critical of indian food, being indian myself - and i have to say Zaika was amazing. Try the tasting menu - completely worth it! Great dinner and night overall!

Fantastic food, service and ambience. Zaika produced Indian cuisine like I had never experienced before. Ok it is a lot more expensive than your local curry house, but the food really stands out. Brilliant

Zaika, warm ambience, attentive service, lovely decor, food sumptuous. Butter chicken superb. Try the chocolate silk.

Superb ambiance, professional and attentive service. The food was very delicate, the chef mixes Indian flavours brilliantly. Excellent value for money. Great wine list. Will definitely go back.

With my husband we love this restaurant. We like indian food and Zaika is outstanding. We have pretty much visited all other major indian restaurants in London and Zaika comes first on our rating list: Delicious and Inovative. We took the 6 courses tasting menu. Only small disappointement: the menu doesn't change really often and as a consequence it's the third time we pretty much enjoyed the same courses. However, I would definitely go back again!

Beautiful dining room with wonderful ambience! Service was quick and staff were very efficient. Food was delicious although the wine was very pricey! Very enjoyable evening.

I booked Ziaka for a corporate dinner and received excellent feedback. I will certainly be booking this restaurant for myself in the near future.

This is the second time we have been to the Zaika and I have to say it is the best Indian restaurant we have ever been to. Bit expensive but well worth it. The food and the service are first class.
