"Amazing food, and the staff are so friendly. My kids loved the food. Highly recommended"

"I recently visited Zaika and was very pleased with the overall experience. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, and the staff provided attentive service throughout the meal. The food was well-prepared, with authentic flavors and good presentation. I particularly enjoyed the lamb rogan josh, which was flavorful and cooked nicely. The menu offers a good variety, and everything we tried was fresh and satisfying. If you’re looking for quality Indian cuisine in a pleasant setting, Zaika is a great choice. I would happily return."

"Thank you, thank you, Thank you firstly to the chefs at Indian Zaika (Papakura). You have made me/ us very happy people indeed to have experienced your food now on numerous and repeat occasions. Having previously lived in the Sandringham area for many years we know what a top notch curry is and isn't like and what isn't up to what I/we love. We will travel to get a curry/business we love. We visit Indian Zaika with a smile, happiness and a content belly upon leaving every time we visit. My personal go to and favorite is Lamb/Beef Madras so I have tried my fair share of Madras's around Auckland to not only be disappointed and a regular now at 2 places, Indian Zaika one of those two. We have recently discovered Indian Zaika and have eaten their several times and will continue to do so, and bring friends and neigbours who have also commented on the overall experience at, and of Indian Zaika to be that of "oh my goodness this is sooo good, , to we' ll definitely be back" and have done so with us. Special mention to our favouite Server Lal who always remembers us even on the phone when booking and clearly loves his job and it is shown by his Smile and geniune friendliness. Surrender, LAL is truely an asset to your Business and this is reflected in him himself. You too now recognize us when we come in and smile which is nice as well. We will continue to share how much we love Indian Zaika as we are very loyal to businesses we love and will probably be booked in again real soon, along with some friends for new customers. See you soon and please know you all are appreciated.. Until next time thank you. *** Will try and remember to take photos next time for this review if we don't eat first lol Kylie"

"The food was absolutely outstanding. The gravy was rich, flavourful, and perfectly balanced — truly the highlight of the meal. Every bite was packed with taste, and you could tell great care had gone into its preparation. The dry fruit kulfi is a must-try — indulgent, creamy, and beautifully finished. My only regret is not being able to try more dishes from the menu. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!"

"Our family has been celebrating amazing food from Indian Zaika for over 5 years now. Amazing food. Our favorite is goat curry and Paneer Makhani. Surinder ji always looked after us, so highly recommended"

"A very nice and peaceful environment… loved it for our date night… food was alright not the greatest but overall it was a nice experience. Service was good and restaurant was clean."
