Review Zayka Indian Cuisine

Raymond Vagell

We came here for lunch and opted to order from the menu rather than the buffet. For appetizers, we had the Tandoor Paneer Tikka Nachos. The dish was alright but I probably would not order it again. The "crispy crackers" were actually tortilla chips. For entree, we ordered "Amritsari Chicken Curry" and "Gobi Manchurian". Both were great. I also ordered a butter naan for my curry but they were chewy and flat (looked more like a roti). Overall the lunch was good but not perfect.

This is a Must go place for Lunch/Dinner. They have Buffet in lunch and not for dinner. 5 Stars for everything. First time visiting and we had a good experience. Lovely Food, Ambience, decorations and good service. Servers were very kind and attentive. Arrived little bit early so it was not really crowded. We ordered Samosa, Palak Panner, Butter Naan and Garlic Naan. As I also wanted to have Non Veg dish as well so I ordered Lucknowi Chicken Biryani. Really the taste of every dish was mouth licking. The spicyness was upto the mark. I never had Palak Panner made like this. Chicken Biryani was cooked really very well. The dishes were served in a very artistic way as Biryani was served in a very beautiful Pot. Definitely recommend this place.

Decent food more inclined towards less spice level. Make sure to ask for right spice. Little expensive.

The food is great except that naan is a bit oily and less crispy. Love the curry and byriani.

Really great chicken Tikka Masala. I asked for medium spice. I easily could have handled a little spicier, but flavor was right on. Rice is very fragrant. Good Naan. I always enjoy a Mango Lassi.

Very lovely ambiance, love the wooden art pieces and luxurious looking chandelier. The platters for service are interesting and artistic. Remember this is first Indian place in USA for years, where they didn’t give the complimentary rice. Amounts are just right and prices competitive. They don’t have many servers, pandemics crunch I guess. Hidden in a busy market place, place is highly recommended for a quick yet wholesome meal. Food was slightly on dry side and music good. Two of the three glasses we used, the bottom of stem were cracked, broken which is very unattractive and a hazard too.Must visit once.

In terms of food this is the best Indian lunch buffet in the area. I come here once a week, sometimes more. I've tried most in Raleigh/Durham and this is the one to visit. While not large, everything is delicious and worth the price. Fresh Naan delivered to your table, but I would suggest they add some ghee. You can tell they don't take shortcuts and only use the best ingredients. My highest compliments to the chefs. My only complaint is that the service could be way better. Customer service in the front of house is almost nonexistent. I often feel like I'm being ignored and have literally had to get up to refill my own water most times I visit. If you can tolerate zero service and filling your own water up in exchange for an excellent buffet, give this place a try.

Where do I start… I’ve been in my professional career 17 years now and I’ve never I mean never come across AUTHENTIC INDIAN CUISINE like Zayka. Great atmosphere, beyond amazing customer service, but the dishes that’s always made with love can’t be beat!! I have no problem spending 100+ every visit without any complaints. The Chief is untouchable!! Try it for yourself and tell them CED sent you !! The new staff Divi and Harshi are amazing!!

4.5 stars! Great place to host a party - they have a private room that accommodates 65 people. Food was delicious, our only wish was that it had been served earlier in our event. But other than that, the staff were easy to work with and we had a good time!

We visited Zayka for lunch and this place is awesome. We originally visited hoping their would be buffet but nope, yet they didn’t disappoint us. The food was so delicious, very flavorful and the quantity was good too. Nia attended to us and the service was fast and courteous. We ordered mastani bhai palak patta chat for starters. It was a perfect blend of crispy spinach with a chat touch to it. Must try! Other items we tried here are garlic naan, mango lassi, Amritsari kadai paneer. For desert we highly recommend the Indian baked gulab jamun cheese cake. Everything tasted so good. Spice levels are kid friendly. We definitely recommend this place .

Thanks Keshav for going above and beyond to create a menu that perfectly matched my expectations.

Great service and people! Sanjeev Virat is a great chef, specializing in North Indian food. We held a event on 4/23 and the whole staff helped us run everything so smoothly, no complaints, and it was a great experience.

My meal was wonderful. I got the Chicken Korma, and it was prepared very well. I don't like it really hot. They give you choices on how spicy you would like it. The service was wonderful.

Rijul Razdan

Truly one of the best authentic Punjabi restaurants in the RTP area. Great flavors, portion sizes, and a wide array of menu options. We ordered dum aloo, kadhai paneer, and different varieties of bread that they offer. Finger licking food.

I was apprehensive about coming here due to reviews of staff but. I am SO GLAD we came. The staff was pleasant enough. I think people need to realize there is a culture difference and as such - the staff may not speak to react the way you are used to. They're also running very short staffed. Our server was very polite, short in sentences and direct, but super nice. On to the important part. The food was amazing! Soooo much flavor. Chicken chilly wasn't my favorite tho I tend to eat vegetarian. The paneer pakora and accompanying chutneys were very nice. We ordered chicken tikka masala spicy and paneer makani medium spicy. Both were phenomenal. I will for sure stick with the spicy option tho as their spicy isn't just a dry chili powder added. Tho I never eat non veg I had a few pieces of the chicken tikka masala as it was quite tasty. Tender, juicy and full of flavor. The paneer makani was beyond amazing. The gravy was rich, creamy, thick and full of flavor. The cheese naan and garlic naan were clearly fresh made, fluffy and just perfect. The mango lassi was the perfect addition to our meal. Tip: order a side of onions to add a nice flavor to your gravy. Tip#2. Tip your sever. They're working hard and they deserve your gratitude.

We recently hosted our wedding weekend in Raleigh and we hired Zayka for our Sangeet and Reception. Our families are full of foodies so it was important that we had high quality, fresh and authentic food. Keshav and his team went above and beyond to create a menu and an experience that our guests continue to rave about. They were able to provide incredible presentation without sacrificing quality and taste -- From passed appetizers in creative glassware to family style dinner. We cannot thank them enough.
