Food is generally good but service is average at best, normally brusque - I'm not sure I've seen any of the staff smile. Even basic things like popadums are expensive. There's a much better cuzza house over the road (Prem).

Recent reviews are pretty accurate ... we popped in on. Monday evening. Only one other table sat at. So, not exactly busy. No welcome ... which kinda set the scene service wise. Short, (almost) rude, certainly no smiles. However, food was really good, a pleasant surprise. Decor/ambiance really nice. Maybe next time, we will catch them on a better day ??

Nice food - we are veggie / vegan, so had 4 starters, rice and pratha, waiting staff could be more engaging, there was nothing wrong with their service but we popped in early and the only people in the restaurant, ie they weren't busy but not generally chatty. Also placed on a table for two, when every other table was empty.

Delicious and fast as i arrived early. Service needs a smile but apart from that very happy

Ordering via telephone is a bit tricky but the food here is fantastic, especially the kata mitta, which is probably the tastiest curry I've ever eaten. The starters have been a bit hit and miss (sometimes overdone to the point of charred), but the mains and side dishes are always delicious and not especially greasy. You can often find deals via their website, so it's even a relatively inexpensive takeaway.

Great food, lovely decor and ambiance. My new favourite Indian restaurant. Can't wait to go back. They accommodate dietary requirements which is rare for Indian restaurants.

Zaika catered for 12 people for my birthday at home (take away for delivery). The food was very good, the flavours distinct, the quantity was plentiful and it all arrived on time. I felt the food was very good value and the delivery well organized. Thank you.
