It was a quiet lunch. The food was very good. Tender chicken great sauce, I asked for spicy, and it really was! Naan made fresh right there. I didn’t try any drinks, so I’m not sure about those. My mom got a mushroom and pea dish that she loved. The serving sizes are not over the top it was filling, but I had no leftovers. I’m fine with that since I had things to do still. It was relaxing and I would definitely go back.

They skimp on basically everything aside from dinner (which you will obviously get a lot of rice). The food is good, but I don’t recommend any sides, desserts, drinks etc because they literally give you infant sized portions. we ordered an “ice cream” and received a ramekin with a spoonful, our mango drinks were 3 sips- and I’m not exaggerating. It is comical for the amount that is charged. I could go on but I’ll refrain. Again, good food, but just as good anywhere else.

3/12/2023 – After movie my daughter wanted indian food so we arrived at about 9:20pm. We were dining in, ordered the veggi ssmosas for appetizer and then i asked what drink products, waitress didnt seem to hear or understand so i said coke products? She replied coke ok, my daughter asked what wine does she recommend and again did not seem to understand or have answer.

This food makes me feel like I am eating food for the first time and I am being fully serious. The butter chicken could make a grown man break down and start crying. Takeout orders are fantastic of course. I had it ordered for the first dinner in my new apartment and everything was hot and fresh like I lived across the street. Overall this is the only place Indian or otherwise that you should be eating.

The food was wonderful, but the service is terrible. They dropped food on my husband and didn’t offer anything off. This was not just a simple shirt and pants outfit but a suit and dress shirt. This is not cheap and when we asked about it they just nodded like nothing. They never filled up our water and did not speak English. I’m just glad the food is good but I would not dine in here. Just takeout so you don’t have a terrible experience.

Best Indian food in the area! Perfect balance of spice in every dish. Friendly, attentive service. Raghu, our waiter was extremely friendly, patient and attentive. We felt like the only patrons in a busy dining room. Hard to find great food and great service in one place these days so very appreciative.

Saturday visit and we had the buffet. The spread in the buffet is really good. I can honestly say that this is one of the best Indian restaurant I’ve tried nationwide.

I usually don’t put bad reviews. But I had a very bad experience at this place. First of all, I hav’nt tasted worse indian food in US. All the good reviews are probably fake or from people who don’t have a good benchmark to compare. Quantities are very small. About 4-5 spoons of chana in chana bhatura. And no refills. Moreover the staff is very rude. First they messed up our bill even after explaining clearly to the waitress and took 10 minutes to fix it. My wife had to go to the receptionist and work with him to get it fixed.

We had a horrible experience with the waiter at zaika, but the management made up with it and we were happy with that. But the food itself was just bang average. We ordered puri, it was just horrible seeing the amount of oil dripping on it, pav bhaji was very bad and it was served with hamburger buns rather than the pav bread. Chettinad chicken was the saving item from the food we ordered. It was overall not a great experience at this restaurant.

Place was awkward and untidy. No music and a big fan near our table. The food was good but I was disappointed about the experience.Buffet line was closed this day. Flies were hovering around us and bathrooms were dirty. Total was around 80 for 3 people.
