They aren’t open on Tuesdays. Their representation on OpenTable says they are.

Delicious food, and friendly service! Zaiqa has a cozy atmosphere that’s especially perfect for a cold day. My tofu vindaloo dish was super flavorful!

Best Indian restaurant we’ve found in the Portland metro area. The food is amazing. We’ve been a few times now and have never had a bad experience. Highly recommend checking it out

Easily the best Indian food we’ve had in Oregon. So many excellent dishes. We’ve been twice now and every item we have ordered has been very flavorful and well prepared. Will definitely be back!

Food was good. Nice spice level. They just need to work on their service. Not sure if just under staff that evening or not. Just not organized

Yum!! Ever since I moved downtown, it's been hard for me to find Indian cuisine in general, but one that is also bursting with flavor. First time here, so I set up a reservation through OpenTable just in case they were busy. It's a small eatery on the corner of Gaines & Bond. We went on a Friday evening (I'd say around 6:30) and it wasn't as busy as I thought. No wait time! The restaurant was clean with nice open windows. Our server was fairly nice. I ordered the butter chicken masala with the bread basket for us to share. I tried the India Ale called Maka Di Honey as we las ordered their mango lassi. The maka was okay - I'm not a big fan of ales - for some tend to have too much hops for my preference. The lassi - on the other hand, is always good. It's a creamy yogurt drink so if you're lactose, I don't recommend. I don't remember what my husband ordered, but it was enough for him to have to take it home - and he always finishes his plates. It was his first time having Indian cuisine and he enjoyed the food. Will be coming back here again !

Hot and humid. Service staff was friendly but they were running around and just filling orders. One of our dishes made us not feel well. Kitchen and bathroom were disgusting.
