This restaurant has delicious Indian food - period. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. This is not in a fancy area - its located in a strip mall in North Miami. It is small but very tastefully decorated restaurant and the food is very aromatic and tasty. The owner was nice enough to accommodate a large group of us and we were able to get separate bills without a problem. OI had their house Sauvignon Blanc which was very good. The Onion Naan bread is so, so good. Soft, warm, with big chunks of onion that fall out when you take your first bite! I also had the Tikki Masala (my favorite) and it was divine. A very large portion (in my opinion) that afforded me enough leftovers to have for lunch the next day. We were so stuffed by the end of our meal that we didnt have any dessert - next time I will have to leave room for some! This is an authentic place and it shows. If you are itching for good Indian food, you gotta check it out - it was worth the drive for me :)

I go to the restaurant on a weekly basis, I bring friends who end up bringing their friends and family afterwards. I would normally give it 4 stars, not 5 as the service isnt great (even though they know my face). The food is without a doubt delicious. However the management, which then trickles down to the wait staff, isnt great. I went last week and a server spilled hot sauce on my arm. The server themself was super apologetic but the management wasnt interested in offering any sort of compensation. I was extremely disappointed (and in actual pain) and have decided Im going to have to find a new favorite restaurant to go to.

The waiter had a little funky ATTITUDE at first,which I could understand because I came in 15 mins to closing.He warmed up to me though...Im irresistible.Anyways!I had this uncontrollable craving for Indian food.I hadnt realized this place was in my area.So I was about to order one of everything off the menu as I was watching a patron nearby inhaling from about 5 plates of food,by himself.I ordered naan,samosa and a vegetarian curry.Its soooooo good.Everything was fresh.Perfect flavors and textures.I was more than satisfied.I definitely recommend.But know, they close for a couple of hours between lunch and dinner

Finally found a nice Indian restaurant in south Florida.. Only tried a few things so far on the menu but all were great.. Ive slowly become a weekly customer here.. Im hooked on the lamb biryani, nice quantity and boneless is a PLUS.. the murgh tikka was great too but was lacking quantity.. The lamb korma was good.. The paneer tikka masala was a bit on the sweet side and couldve been more spicy.. overall a great find except for the murgh tikka being a bit pricey but definitely good quality.. Thumbs up..

Best indian food in North Miami Beach. Get there before the lunch and dinner rush because this place gets packed!! The lunch special is a great price around 9$ and includes a small app (I get their samosa), naan, and a main dish. It is a GOOD sized lunch portion and the servers are always happy to bring extra rice free of charge. For dinner the price ups but the food is bomb! If you love mangoes you cant leave before having a mango lassi, Im usually so stuffed that I grab one to go. Great little spot.

La comida riquísima, platos elaborados con tiempo y buena materia prima, pero lo mejor de todo es el trato personalizado y la amabilidad mostrada por sus dueños que te hacen sentir que estás en tu casa, hasta el más mínimo detalle. Volveremos.

The restaurant is so popular which you can see as soon as you enter. The Indian food is just excellent and their staff is equally amazing. There was a big line when we went on a Saturday night but the host was kind enough to accommodate us, especially being considerate of the fact that my son was extremely hungry. Even though we waited for 30 mins the wait was worthwhile. Highly recommend this restaurant to Indian cuisine lovers.

Had lunch here and i can say this is among the best Indian restaurant in Miami. The menu offers good variety of indian food which is cooked based on your taste of spice. We ordered vegetable pakoras, daal and chicken. Pakoras were maid like a round pastry had a nice taste but i think should be cooked in their usual style so even they are cooked from inside. The food has a good taste to it. The staff is friendly and professional

Horrible food. Better go to some other restaurant. Staff is sooo rude, may be they have the business because of tourists. I dont think so people who want to taste authentic Indian food would love this food. The sweet lassi is very sour, may be one month back lassi. Seems like they mixed water in canned tomato soup & microwaved. Im unsure if it is a paneer curry or sugar curry, though we asked spicy. NOT RECOMMENDED!

absolutely loved this little restaurant. if you want a great experience for trying Indian Cuisine with great quality and really affordable prices, this is the place! My girlfriend, some friends and I went recently and we were able to experience a whole variety of dishes, including lamb, naan bread with garlic, vegetable stews, chikpeas, and Gulab Jamun. great restaurant!

Oh my god this place gives you the best Indian Cuisine in America I guess. My fiancé came to visit me few days ago, he really loved the food here! We had our dinner twice in a week before he left, and he said he would miss it so much!! I cant tell you how delicious it is. I love lamb, and hes crazy in love with the Butter Chicken. Nice restaurant and dont miss it!!!

We order delivery a couple times a month. I really love Zaika Indian Restaurant. Best Shahi Paneer (and I try it at a lot of other restaurants too). One star knocked off because you guys are killing me with the burnt naan bread! Please stop burning my naan-its like all my dreams shatter when Im so excited for my meal and the best part is BURNT. Thank you kindly.

Finally a good Indian restaurant in Miami!! We have waited long and the chef at Zaika has truly delivered. If you like Indian food you MUST come to this place. We were a table of 12 people and ordered a variety from veg and non-veg and we enjoyed every dish. For dessert we had mango and pistachio kulfi and its just yummy!!!! Service was also good.

this place is amazing! me and my boyfriend came to eat a little late (9:30 and the restaurant closes at 10) and were still seated and treated with great service. the food was delicious and not too oily or heavy which ive had at lesser quality indian places. everything was well balanced and on point. i will definitely be coming back in the future!

Ordered yesterday for the first time and we werent disappointed. They have all the comfort foods you could ask plus great specials. Among all the good dishes we ordered, I have to say that the butter chicken was great! I wish we could have eaten in because the restaurant is beautiful, but with the little ones, we cant always do that!

My fiancé and I absolutely ADORE zaika. The staff is awesome, the food is delicious... It can get quite crowded but I think they deserve all the business they get. I recommend the mushroom makhani, samosas, garlic naan, and mango chutney. Weve tried most of their menu and havent gone wrong yet. Zaika is our favorite date night spot!
