Zaika Asian Cuisine in Cardiff

I ordered the chicken tikka and the food was extremely dry, the seating was okay but the lights were very dusty and we ended up having a fly in our Mango Lassi. The biryani was tastless and flavourless. I wouldn’t recommend going there because its overpriced and isnt worth the food. There is a buffet or another halal pizza express with better food, would recommend that instead of this dog food

Authentic Pakistani cuisine in the heart of Cardiff. Fantastic food and top quality service. Helpful friendly staff and delicious food - a must go place !!

First time I've visited Zaika. As usual went out with the family, we ordered chicken tikka which was so soft and the lamb karahi was really nice too. The food was really nice, the staff were really good and helpful. Definitely recommend this restaurant!!

Its an asian restaurant in cardiff city. We ordered one family platter consist of 6 nun 6 postions of chips, akmi polau all kebab items on chicken mutton and lamb. We also ordered butter chicken and chicken tikka. For 6 people it costs 82 gbp.. for my analysis it is ok. Overall test wise i would give 4 out of 5 for platter. Since in platter they only provide one portion of gravy which may not be sufficient. Management may look into this. But overall very good restaurant well behaved service..recommended

We sat in before going bowling for a quick meal. Was blown away by the friendly and efficient staff, quick service, tables cleaned straight away, informative. The value for money was amazing too. Had the 4 person platter & delicious Mango lassi for just over £40! Will definitely be returning.

We visited this restaurant on a weekday and it was not too crowded. This is halal restaurant. We were lucky to find this restaurant in Cardiff bay. The ambience of the restaurant was awesome and it is very spacious.You will find south Asian food here and non-veg dishes are really good. We ordered chicken pakora, chicken biryani, chilli chicken with naan. All the food items ordered were tasty. You can bring kids here. No alcohol served here. Staff is very friendly and courteous.Remember to mention the level of spiciness you need while you are placing the order.Please note his restaurant opening hours are for from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m.

If you're in Cardiff Bay, cross the road, go through the Dragon Centre and it's just across the car park. Best food around, everything is cooked to perfection. Staff are friendly. You won't want to miss this one.

Food was decent nothing special. We ordered a jug of lassi and it was so watered down it was barely a lassi anymore. The very annoying thing was they refused to give tap water due to “covid” which is against the law. Every licensed restaurant is required by law to provide tap water considering we all ordered round of drinks first anyways. The staff were very nice and welcoming but wouldn’t be returning here again.

We ordered a curry with them this week. We'd had a long day and fancied a treat so we ordered a feast. We'd ordered shahi paneer, paneer Tikka masala, saag paneer and chicken shashlick and every single dish came out coated in oil. Even the shashlick had a layer of oil. It felt more like a meal we had to endure, rather than enjoy. We wrote to the management through their website as I don't like to do these publicly in the first instance, but since we have been ignored, here are some pictures of our food from that evening.Only gave a two star because we ordered food from here about a month ago and it was very nice. Not sure why it has suddenly gone so oil heavy.

Restaurant opened at 4pm. Visited this place at 4:10Order taken around 4:15pm. Requested poppadoms after order was taken. waiter said it's 4pm poppadoms have not been made?4:35pm mopping begins by a staff member. When the mopping came around my table I can smell stench coming from the mop and the whiff remained behind asthe floor was drying out.Ordered chicken shindi biryani, sent it back as no potatoes in the dish as described. Dish returned chicken now gone missing.Went to pay and there were extra charges on my bill. I queried it with the boss. He says it's only £1 why am I complaining for????? WOWI replied, Exactly... why are you charging customer extra £1.20 when i never ordered this item. If a mistake is done by your staff that's not for me to pay. Boss Turns around and says have the meal for free in anger. I reply and say no I will pay for what I ordered. He wouldn't accept.I then mentioned I will pay the whole bill, and I will put a review on here and Google etc.Boss again in anger says to have the meal for free and not to put a review. He eventually walks away. I refused to have the meal for free and requested the other waiter to take payment.the basic principals and emphasis of customer service is not adhered in this so called 'cuisine'. Mopping around customers, charging unnecessary extras and then arguing with customers is unacceptable.
