Went there last week on our way to London for dinner with family. Greeted by nice ambience and polite staff. Being vegetarian generally the choices are limited but that was not the case here. We had a range of vegetarian starters to choose from and the taste was superb. The mains were also very nice and good portions. The most important bit "Taste" was quite authentic Indian. Would definitely visit next time I am in London.

I went to this indian restaurant last week .The interiors are done very well. We ordered Vegetarian Trio which was simply delicious bit the quantity was a bit less.Tandoori Subzi was Okayish and nothing extraordinary. The main course Included Dum gosht biryani,Butter chicken,Paneer tikka masala and Dal Makhani and it was surely the best I've ever had.
Staff was courteous and prompt
Though the atmosphere was not appropriate as was too much towards a club or pub

When it comes to good food, Indians are spoilt for choice. There are enough top tier restaurants that have won Indian, and even global, recognition for what they serve and how they do it. Here we list India's best restaurants ln london Zaika was fantastic, I would highly recomment it to anyone. We had a lovely warm welcome and enjoyed the most delicious cocktails before we decide to stay and eat. The service was excellent and prompt with the food arriving only about 5 mins after ordering. Everything looked amazing so we went for a broard selection to share. Indian tapas if you like... Truly scrumptious. With excellent service and great value too, what more could you want. Very impressed

What to Try: The dal makhani, especially if you want to indulge your taste buds in something rich. The dal is infused with flavour, as it’s kept simmering for 48 hours! and white fish plater was mouth waterring

I've eaten here 4 times and always found the food to be excellent. I have always said your mothers cooking is the best but this food is so close to my mothers (I'm indian) that its a close contest.
The ambience is good, always had good service.
I will be dining there again tonight - but we are running late for our 2030 table so hope after this good review the table is held :)

I’m surprised Zaika isn’t more highly rated as this is the best Indian restaurant I’ve been to in London, and I’ve been to many. When I say best I mean best from start to finish. The starters are out of the world - we had the vegetarian trio, lamb chops, and the fish. Do try at least one. The paneer tikka masala and the karahi chicken were excellent as well but the unmissable dish is the Dal Makhani. I highly recommend it. Oh and we asked for the food to be medium spicy but it would obviously vary from person to person.
I thank the staff for a lovely experience and look forward to dining here again!

Didn't manage to take a picture of what we have ordered. It was a mix of all; the starter was really good along with the food. Butter chicken, biryani, and shrimps, all the options were worth a try. The location and space was spacious. The service was great.. Highly recommended.

Went after an event in Kensington just before the Kitchen was due to close for the night but welcomed in. The menu selection is fairly minimal but not to say that's a bad thing as the quality of the food was excellent. Tried the paneer and channa masala and also tried the Zaika fruit punch (mocktail) and all items tasted great. There are set menus also on offer which vary between £50-65 per person so on my next visit i am sure to try this. Good resturant for both vegetarians and meat lovers. Dessert sampler as seen in the photo was clean and refreshing. I usually do not like coconut but all three desserts went down a treat including the coconut one. Decor is smart and lit just right. Acoustics great as you can hear the people you are with. I will definitely go again. I will also add some further photos in due course. I would fully recommend a visit.

Zaika of Kensington is owned by the Tamarind collection which also owns the world’s first Michelin starred Indian restaurant, Tamarind of Mayfair. Located in a former banking hall in Kensington, with many of its original architectural features still in place and over a hundred pieces of artwork on the walls, Zaika’s dining room is majestic and relaxing.

This is honestly my favourite Indian restaurant in London. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food quality is excellent! Nuanced flavours combined with a great wine list - you can’t go wrong! Arrive early to avoid the dinner rush.

Some of the best Indian food I have ever had. The presentation was flawless but the flavour was even better. I highly recommend the Samosas and the Pistachio Chicken Korma which was life-changing!

Zaika’s a favorite of ours when in London. Lovely space and great attentive service. They have a new chef and there's some new dishes. We tried—and enjoyed—the Tandoori Pickled Cauliflower which was lovely crisp curry cauliflower and Pineapple Sansav, a zippy sweet palate cleanser. But we were saddened by the lessor flavor punch of some old favorites. The Chicken Pistachio Korma lacked the great heft of pistachio. The tandoori Sea Bass was lest deft in cooking and flavor. The revised bar menu now lacks the Cuban Black, which was a favorite. It's still a very good Indian restaurant. It's just a bit sad when things change, and not for the better.

I’d walked past this restaurant a number of times so wanted to check it out. Would definitely return and highly recommend. Service was attentive and spot-on with recommendations and they even helped me to charge my phone. Lovely ambience - reminded me of the old style restaurants of Delhi. The cocktail (margarita?) with Indian spices was a great compliment to the starters while the Chardonnay paired well with my mains. One highly recommended dish was the Raj Kachori - a must have, tasted like something you would get on the streets of Delhi. I didn’t like the kofta curry too much to be honest. Didn’t leave much room for dessert but we still managed to make space following the waiter’s (off menu) suggestion of Indian alphonso mangoes - which were incredible and ended the entire meal on a spectacular note! Highly recommended.

A friend of ours invited us to Zaika. This is our first time visiting this restaurant. Food was very good, specially their starters, butter Nan and biriyani. Every one should try their Baked golap jamon and kulfi. Their services was excellent and I love the ambiance of the restaurant. Their decor gives a royal antique style vibes.

Food was absolutely delicious with just enough spice (may be too much for some). Lots of flavor. Atmosphere is great as well.

Had the best curry of my life!!! We enjoyed fabulously curated cocktails and the Butter Chicken was absolutely out of this world. Best Naan ever, best fish curry ever, and a delectable crème brûlée for dessert. One of the best meals out in a while. Would highly recommend!!!

Some of the best Indian food I’ve had. I’m from India & am very picky when it comes to Indian food. This takes like someone’s mom is in the kitchen making all the food. The Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani was my favorite. 10/10 would recommend. We ordered butter chicken, haleem, chicken 65, chicken dum biryani.
