ZAAIKA INDIAN CUISINE in Ontario

"We came in on a Friday night, and the place wasn’t crowded so we were greeted and seated very quickly. We ordered Malai Kofta, Veg Manchurian, and butter naan. Everything was fresh, tasted delicious, and was brought out quickly. The service was very professional as well. There was plenty of seating and the restaurant had a nice ambiance."

"Ordered takeout. Customer service was exceptional. The food was great. I got the veggie samosas and butter chicken, the samosas were massive for the price, a meal in it's own. The chicken was incredibly tender. Can't wait to try something new here. I will be a regular."

"Delicious food and excellent service! This place is a gem right in the heart of downtown, with plenty of parking nearby which made our visit super convenient. We tried the Veg Maratha, and it was absolutely amazing — a must-try for anyone who enjoys rich, flavorful dishes. The mango and salted lassi were both refreshing and well-balanced. We also appreciated that they offer complimentary rice, roti, or naan with the main dish — a great value and a nice touch. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had a great experience. Overall, we had a lovely time and would definitely come back. Highly recommend!"

"Went here for lunch today. Got the non-veg lunch special. Food was incredible and the staff was very friendly. Helped me choose some good options. Great value for the price too! I highly recommend this place. So far it's the best I've had in Brantford."

"We've been regulars at Zaaika for a while now, and I can't say enough good things about this place. The food is consistently incredible every single time we visit. Their Thali meals are an absolute steal. For dinner, you get a generous spread that includes Chana Masala, Dal Makhni, your choice of curry, rice, yogurt, Gulab Jamun for dessert, and fresh Roti or Naan. The lunch Thali is almost identical (just minus one side) and it's only $12. Honestly one of the best lunch deals around! We've tried several of their curries, and you really can't go wrong. The Tikka Masala is rich and perfectly balanced, and the Andhra fried chicken is absolutely delicious with great spice and flavor. The meat quality consistently stands out. Always fresh, tender, and cooked to perfection. Beyond the excellent food, Prateek is fantastic. He's friendly, attentive, and genuinely cares that every customer has a great experience. That personal touch makes dining here feel special. Whether you're looking for an affordable weekday lunch or a satisfying dinner, Zaaika delivers on taste, quality, and value. Highly recommend!"

"It was a happy coincidence that we ended up dining here today. The restaurant we were planning to eat at was closed and we saw Zaaika across the street and decided to dine-in. We enjoyed some wonderful vegetable samosas, filled with delicious potato and pea filling, accompanied by flavourful chutneys. For our meals we were considering the lunch specials but decided on the Roti Wraps, they were very generous portions and would have been great to split and share if we didn’t have our own curry preferences. The Lamb Vindaloo was flavourful, spicy, and had a generous portion of meat. The Butter Chicken had a delicious mild flavour and the medium spice was perfect. It would be great to come with more people to share different dishes, or to come back at dinner and enjoy the thali’s."

"AMAZING portion sizes and even better customer service, it was my first time in and they gave me complimentary pakoras with my order as well, got the vegetable samosa and they are larger than my hand! And delicious, Probably one of the best I’ve ever had. Also got the butter chicken, which was top-tier highly recommend this place To anyone looking for quality service and quality food!"

"Amazing experience at Zaaika Indian Cuisine! The food was rich in authentic Indian flavors and perfectly spiced. A special shout-out to their biryani absolutely outstanding! Fragrant rice, tender meat, and perfectly balanced spices made it one of the best biryani I’ve had. The service was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving genuine Indian cuisine. I’ll definitely be coming back again!"
