Tried their butter chicken and it was good. However the tandoori chicken is nothing similar to any tandoori i have tried + it seems that the tandoori had been made in advanced and been warmed after my order.. the skin of the chicken felt tough or overcooked. The other thing was that i asked the lady whether the meet is halal-certified and she confrimed that. However, the taste of both the chicken and the lamb don't seem to be Halal anyway. Perhaps, they need to have a halal-certificate to prove me wrong.
I stayed Denver, CO for a week and almost everyday i had a meal there at Zaika restaurant. I took my friends their too. I loved their food. I ordered almost all of their items and enjoyed a lot. The Stuff are really nice and the restrurant is very clean. Most importantly the food is really tasty. Thank you Zaika!
The first person you see upon entrance is the cashier and she's super pleasant,kind and very easy to talk to. I had the Tandoori Chicken. It was very flavourful and it came with veggies,Naan and a very nice yogurt dipping sauce. First time I've ever seen these side dishes encluded without asking and paying $$ more for your meal. Simply a nice experience!
Deliciously flavorful.Nothing like some Indian food to give you that flavor bomb when you feel like indulging yourself, and Zaika is no exception to that.Note that the spice levels are tailored to the more mild side. So if you like a good kick, don't be afraid to ask for 5/5.
Very delicious Lazzedar Chicken and Tandori Shrimp with spinach and potatoes. Samosas made from scratch. Freshly made cheese naan.Don't forget the chai tea
Cute family owned, friendly staff, amazing food, and good service!! We ordered garlic naan, chicken momo, chili chicken, paneer tikka masala, and rice. Everything was fresh and flavorful!! ? on point! Definitely worth the money!
We absolutely love this place. Don’t let the word “express” fool you. The service is great and the food is truly amazing. It’s conveniently near Trader Joe’s so we stop in here before shopping. Mahad was very friendly and provided a great experience. Two thumbs up.
Oh what a wonderful diamond to have stumbled upon! I was in the area for something else one night and thought, "Hmm, Indian food does sound good!" So serendipitous indeed!Upon entering, the sweet smell of melding spices hits you right away and while reviewing the menu (I ordered to-go) you can't imagine that anything tastes sub par. I decided on the Chicken Kerala Curry with Garlic naan. While I sat and awaited my order the owner kindly made conversation and made me feel incredibly welcome. It's obvious that each dish is made with love, their secret ingredient.While waiting, I was able to try just one samosa. I thought about placing a full order, at first, but assumed it would be too much food. If there is one takeaway from this review - ORDER THE SAMOSAS!!!!!! These were, by far, the best I've ever had. The outside pastry, which sets the stage for the entire bite, was HEAVENLY! Instead of something doughy, it was buttery and flaky. I literally could have eaten the pastry alone. But no! I was then blessed with a filling to rival all samosa fillings - perfectly spiced, colorful, plentiful and delicious! Heed my words - ORDER THE SAMOSAS!!! I would have taken a photo, but I only got one, and was stopping for no one.After getting home with my order, and just when I thought the samosa would be the crescendo of my meal, I tasted the Kerala curry and ate the first bite with my eyes closed (I've learned that that's the body's way of enhancing your sense of taste - it attempts to dull the other senses). While the chicken was beautifully tender, the curry was drinkably delectable. Just imagine a perfectly spiced curry (mild for me) but enhanced exponentially by just enough coconut milk to sing.The curry was so enchanting that I almost forgot the garlic naan awaiting me... As for the naan, well, a picture speaks 1,000 mouthwatering words. In short, this would be a showstopper at the Gilroy Garlic Fastival.I'm incredibly thrilled that Zaika is less than 1 mile away and open late, because on those evenings where nothing sounds good, Zaika's offerings will ALWAYS hit the spot!
I love this place, it's become my new go-to Indian restaurant. It's quick, reasonably priced, and so absurdly flavorful, there hasn't been a single dish that's let me down. My favorite is their saag paneer, it's the best I've ever had. The folks who work here are so delightful and friendly, I have the best experience every time.
Best Indian food I’ve had. Order the butter chicken with naan bread. It’s extremely delicious, me and my girlfriend went here 3 times in a row, this is absolutely a “worth it” stop every time I want a nice wholesome meal
