The Chicken Biryani and Lamb Curry I ordered was one of the best Indian food dishes I’ve ever tasted in over the last 18 years…the food was so delicious and flavors were layered with bold tastes that I completely forgot to take photos of the dishes until it was too late ? The only thing even better that the food was the amazing exemplary service that Sami provided our large party of 7. She also educated us that the dishes are influenced by Northern India region.

Samikshya helped me find the lamb ? biryani and it was great! I had level 3 out of 5 spicy and it wasn’t too hot! After I win ? the Olympics in the triathlon in Paris, France ?? 2024 maybe I can have zaika cater my victory party! And samikshya hepled me realize that I don’t have to be happy or sad ? based on what other people do! She saved me a lot of money ? on a therapist! OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ???????

We came in here kind of late in the evening, but it was definitely worth it! The food was really good and the service was excellent. This first dish was his and it's lamb. Mine was probably chicken, I can't remember (3-15-2019), but my memories of the place and the food were that it was excellent and I was happy and satisfied! ;-) The naans did have a lot of butter or oil on them, but that was probably my only and very minor complaint. :-)

Food= Out of this world delicious!Service= Top Notch!Bonus= mask required for guests and employees.Went in for a quiet Sunday night dinner and ate the best samosas of my life. I even ordered an extra to-go meal for lunch the next day — food is that GOOD! Will be coming back many times.

I came upon this place while traveling for work in Colorado Springs and have now eaten there three times. The Naan it’s the best I’ve ever had and I eat Indian food pretty often since it’s one of my favorites. The tikka masala is super yummy as well on a level 3 spice. Highly Reccomend

4.5 stars. After disappointment at several other Indian restaurants in the southern Colorado area, I was pleasantly surprised by these guys because their food is actually good!!The ambience is bright and happy. If you sit at the booths, the menu is posted on the wall. They told us they had raised the prices about an hour before we showed up. I mean, really? Who increases prices on a random sat afternoon.Any way, we ordered the Kerala curry with chicken, the lamb biryani and two garlic naans. I also ordered a masala chai.The chai was very good but could've done with a little less sugar. The garlic naans we're super delicious and fluffy. We could not stop eating them. The Kerala curry was nice too. I would have liked more chicken pieces. They made it a level 4 as we requested but next time I'm ordering a level 5 as the spicy level was still not spicy enough for me. The lamb biryani was not dum, as the server told us right at the start. It definitely felt more like lamb pulao. It was very very tasty just not a biryani.All in all, good quantity. My friend and I ate to our hearts fill and yet had at least another meal leftover. Pricing was ok except for that rising price part. Will definitely be back here in the future.

I have been here twice and both times the food was really good! I am really impressed with the Biryanis! Also topping it off with a chai tea is really nice. I will definitely be back to this place! Quality food and great service!

I’m vacationing in Colorado Springs and we wanted to try something new, so we googled “best restaurants nearby” and Zaika had one of the best ratings in the area. We absolutely LOVE Indian food so it was an obvious choice and were we NOT disappointed. Every item we ordered was prepared to perfection and it was some of the best Indian food I’ve ever tasted, and now one of my new favorite restaurants. We come to this area every few years to enjoy the scenery and I will be returning to this restaurant every opportunity.I highly recommend the Veggie Samosa appetizer, I think that’s what they’re called. They’re made from a mix of potatoes, peas and spices among other things, and they’re fried in a crispy, golden brown dough. They also provide a mint chutney sauce and another jam made from tamarins to dip them in. Anyways, it was one of the most enchanting and interesting mixtures of flavors and textures which I 10/10 highly recommend.Along with the superior quality of food, the service was exceptional. Our server Sami was super funny and almost made me launch my mojito out of my nostrils laughing. We had a ton of questions and she had all the right answers from recommending things to listing ingredients for us. She really is just a delightful human being. Thanks Sami!!

Really delicious food. Our group ordered a variety of food and every dish was very good. Service was friendly and efficient.

First time eating there and the food was Amazing. Highly recommend it to anyone.
