We were in Darya ganj just to explore some old Delhi food. I must say that you can't get better Mughlai than Delhi 6. I m pure veg but should say that Mughalai is just not about Non Veg. Their paneer special is just WOW. Dal Makhani had over flavour of cinnamon so strictly ok. Their breads deserve special mention. Their breads be it butter naan, Roti or Tandoori Paratha all are the best you can have. They are as soft that you can't differentiate that if they are tandoori's or Tawa's. We ordered their kheer too but it's bland.

Zaika is a family restaurant in Darya Ganj main road. It served quality none vegetarian food. The service is good and the ambience is great and family-friendly. We had kadhai chicken and chicken changezi. Both were lip-smacking in taste. I would surely recommend this place for non vegans.

This is the best place for having Afgani Chicken.I have never eaten an Afgani Chicken like this.Totally different from other places which cooks just the marinated one.The combo is having the Afgani chickin with Roomali roti.A highly recommended place for Non-Veg Lovers.

A restaurant which serves different kinds of chicken dishes at reasonable prices...zaika's famous fried chicken is the best to have here...we also ordered chilli chicken with gravey and that was just yummy...the spicy tangy gravy with veggies (capsicum and onions) and ofcourse boneless chicken pieces was just amazing.

The restaurant is right on the main road of Daryaganj. The restaurant have a very warm people working there. The food was really finger licking. Thought the place was little cramped because of people pouring in. All in all really wonderful place to have dinner. And the best part is the restaurant is pocket friendly. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿป

Before I start writing about my experience, let me make clear it's not a paid review. Basically I'm a foodaholic by choice, not by professional obligations. Usually, I enjoy the relish of good food more, than taking all the pain to share my views on several platforms.

It won't be any exaggeration if I say, this restaurant is a "Pure Gem" amongst the ones that serve "Mughlai Cuisine" in Delhi-NCR and a 'must try' for 'nonveg-lovers'. Coming straight to the food. I ordered, 1. Mutton Seekh Kebabs (accompanied by a butter-cream gravy), 2. Roomali Roti, 3. Chicken Changezi spl (dry fruit gravy), 4. Khameri Roti, 5. Hyderabadi Mutton Biryani and 6. Lemonade Shoda.

I was simply blown with a heavenly joy, just after taking the first bite of the kebab. It was melt in mouth with a hint of spices and well balanced, smoky flavour of charcoal. The temptation is doubled when ordered along with their "Malai-Makkhan Gravy" (one has to ask for it at Rs. 50 additional). The kebab goes well with their "Roomali Roti". Next item was one of their speciality, "Chicken Changezi spl (dry fruit gravy)". Believe me, that was simply droolworthy on my table. Spice level of the gravy was "High" as expected, but the consistency didn't come from the regular "onion-yogurt" or "tomato" blend. The pieces of chicken were succulent, enjoyed best with fluffy and soft Khameri Roti. Hyderabadi Mutton Biryani was another reason to be delighted for. Just a quarter quantity of "Biryani" had two big chunks of mutton and a boiled egg, slit to halves. The flesh was falling of the bone and hidden in a heave of long-edge "Basmati Rice", flavoured with saffron, screwpine water, cloves and green cardamoms. Though the spice level wasn't as intense as the actual "Hyderabadi" version. Rather, it was pretty light on stomach. The chilled "Lemonade Shoda" arrived at the end to help me digest the grease and spices consumed. Oh boy, what an amazing experience came to an end finally.

Now, it's rating time..

Taste: 5/5 (overwhelmed with their quality standard)

Hygiene: 4/5 (Just 1 mark deducted because of the quantity of oil used, from 'health' point of view. But I think, it's not that big deal in Mughlai cuisine)

Service: 5/5 (Considering they open quite late on Fridays, still they managed to provide prompt service)

Ambience: 5/5 (quite spacious, good decor with neat maintenance)

Value for Money: 5/5 (I would have even rated 10 out of 5. The entire meal costed me just 830 bucks that includes three drinks as well. Keeping the market price in mind, it's next to unbelievable)

The restaurant is located right on the main street of Darya Ganj, near "Golcha Cinema" (nearest metro station is "Delhi Gate"). One doesn't need to be scared of the hustle and bustle in the lanes around Jama Masjid to reach here. However, the tragedy is despite being situated at a comparatively fair location, it's often overshadowed by the other giants (Karim's, Al-Jawahar, Aslam Chicken etc) within the surrounding area. In that sense, an underrated restaurant.

My suggestion to all the foodies out there, don't judge them looking just at their ratings. After trying "Karims" and "Al-Jawahar" a thousand times, I definitely recommend this outlet over them. Try the restaurant once at least. I bet, nobody will regret.

their dishes are just awesome and taste like real mughlai food .
specially their chicken malai tikka ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ very creamy and lots pf flavours in it . though they charge extra for extra cream .
chicken seekh kabab is very very soft and tasty ๐Ÿ˜
biryani here is very good ๐Ÿ˜‹
chicken fingers are also good but they are very similar to any roadside shopโ€™s.
coming to maincourse best dish is chicken rara .
rara will just blow u up its that tasty โค๏ธ
chicken corma is very good but very oily .
chicken kali mirch is very bad in taste .
breads are too soft and cooked well ๐Ÿ˜‹
chicken here is well cooked .
despite of too much crowd comparatively service is good .
there kheer is to die for ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ
prices are also fine and now ambience is also very good earlier ambience was ok , but now it has been renovated.
overall one of the best chicken restaurants ๐Ÿ“
food is oily but itโ€™s the specialty of mughlai food .
not for those who dont like oily food .

I had a lovely experience with a tinge of old delhi charm, it was nestled into a small-ish shop sidewalk and i was very surprised to find a spacious restaurant upstairs.
Try their thread chicken,seekh kebab and dont forget their mutton biryani.
Delicious mughlai food with pocket friendly prices and trust me quantity is really good.

Giving Zaika an extra star because there are really very few restaurants which serve tasty halal food and have quite a pleasant ambience. Zaika is certainly one of them.

It has full occupancy almost all the times because the taste is really awesome.

The management needs to focus on training of employee because I feel the kind of amount they charge they can afford better staff.

Their Chicken Afghani and Chicken Malai Tikka are my personal favorites.

In Gravy Mutton Nahari and Qorma tastes really nice.

Biryani is just okayish.

Chinese is almost never available there.

Old Delhi, first thing that comes in mind is the delicious food made in streets of old delhi. So I placed an order with Zaika and my expectations were high from this place and they served me amazing food, delicious. I ordered mutton nihari, tandoori parantha, kheer and tandoori momos. After a long time I had such amazing mutton nihari and with tandoori parantha, the taste got doubled. Tandoori momos were damn tasty and kheer was just too good. Overall I had an amazing dinner. My all time favourite is chicken biryani. Thank you Zaika. I will be ordering more from here. Paradise for non veg food lovers.

This place certainly live upto its name Zaika. A few metres away from metro station and very near to golcha cinema, this place is well known amongst the people. They serve dishes with simple presentation and ecxellent taste. We have ordered thread chicken which was their special, chicken coated with potato was average in taste, but their mutton seekh kebabs were outstanding, then we ordered chicken malai tandoori, and we were blown away by the taste. You have liโ€™l options in drinks and desserts but who would order anything else when you have Phirni on the menu๐Ÿ˜.
