Zaika Indian Express

Me and my brother went here Friday night 11/03/2023 around 7-8pm. We were instantly greeted by the workers behind the counter and some that wer sitting at tables. We got the chicken tikka masala with buttered Naan and I got a Dr Pepper. Workers were so friendly and courteous. I loved the big plastic red cups for fountain soda. Dr Pepper was delicious. We sat down and the guy brought our food over. Very friendly, he even asked me if I wanted more rice after we ate a bit. Everything tasted amazing and you can choose ur spice level. Workers gave us nothing but smiles the whole time. When we left we said bye to the amazing staff and they gave us more smiles. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much! (:

The hot Chai tea was great. The Gobi Manchurian was tasty, I ordered spicy level 3 and it was not spicy at all. It was a little over-sauced, causing it to be soggy. I prefer my Gobi Manchurian crispy. The samosas were perfectly crispy but the filling was a little bland. Staff was friendly. However, the tables needed cleaning and floors needed to be swept, but a couple guys just stood around talking.

I work near Zaika, and i had my options in the area. But i knew that Zaika would be supporting small businesses instead of large chains, or wealthy well off people's investment businesses. I can tell from walking into Zaika, that the people who run it are invested into this small business, and put their heart into everything they do. I enjoyed their tofu Kerala Curry with vegetables. The person who helped me at the counter recommended iptions and changes to my order that made it easy, fast and delicious. My Kerala curry has been the absolute best curry and indian tofu dish i have ever had, and ive had many different indian/malaysian restaurant menus from California to Colorado. It was bright, spicy, and creamy. The perfect comfort food for people of all dietary needs. I was also offered a free drink of tea while i waited for my meal. While i did not wait long, the tea was so wonderful and comforting i think id go back just for the tea even if i was not hungry. If you were not sure where to eat and you landed on this review, you already knew you were interested, now you have proof that it's worth the first try.

I went here for the first time with my family and what matters most to me in a restaurant, is how good the food is and environment. We ordered a variety of foods and they were no doubt delicious! All my cravings had went away, the food was just that good. I’d recommend cleaning up the place a bit more for a better environment but overall the food is amazing!!

Sails is our favorite casual (or fancy) Indian restaurant! I think it’s the loving vibes of the people making the food and running the place that goes into the food to make it the tastiest vegetarian comfort meal in town 🥰 hart-warming chai too and the best naan. Thank you for filling our bellies with love and warmth on cold days
