    Great food. Found a price of plastic in my crab cake. They replaced it. Should have waived the charge for that instead replacing as we told them we didn’t want another crab cake. I guess making money was important for them

    if you’re celebrating a birthday then AVOID this place. I booked this restaurant for 40th birthday 3 weeks in advance and told them it’s for a birthday and they never contacted me to let me know there’s a COVER CHARGE of £5 per person to bring your own cake. This completely ruined our celebration as everyone was very annoyed and there is no mention of this in the booking details either. COMPLETE SCAM -AVOID FOR CELEBRATIONS!!

    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.
