Good place to hang out with family and frds
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.
Nice food. The changezi chicken and dal makhni was really nice. Taste, quality and quantity of food is quite good.
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.
Ambience is good, Service is satisfactory, chicken malai tikka, Kabab and chilli chicken were nice but chicken changezi was not good and it was tasteless
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.
Family restaurant with good food and very nice environment..we tried paneer butter masala , thread chicken and kheer..everything is good...but if u are a paneer lover u shuould try their paneer lababdaar..kheer is ok ok..price are also affordable ..
This place has quite AmbienceโคIn taste its just like heaven for all non veg. Lovers they have many lipsmacking varieties in chicken just Like Thread chicken ๐
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. ๐๐ผ๐ค๐ป
Excellent service great food awesome malai tikka with laccha paratha great tandoori fish tikka and tandoori momos great chicken lababdaar excellent mutton nahari overall best food in town
The food is completely Awesum ๐๐ป๐๐ปChicken Malai tikka a must try NonVeg Starter โค๏ธ kheer is superb ! Everyone shoud try Kheer as a desert ๐๐ป๐๐ปAmazing service ..
If you are a fan of chicken or mutton rara then this is the place worth to go for it. They serve the best chicken and mutton rara in old delhi.

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.
A good restaurant with lot of choices to eat. Rolls are superb specially the special zaika roll.... tandoori items are also worth trying.... staff is very polite and friendly..... would recommend this for family as well as youngsters hangout place....

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.
4.2/5 stars
Venue : Zaika restaurant,Darya ganj near golcha cinema
Nice place.. ambiance is really good..
Tried mutton rogan josh, mutton rara, chicken changzi and chicken kadhai
Food was really good must try there rogan josh and chiken khadhi..
But rara mutton was avg.
But else placw was really good.
Must visit with family.
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.
Very Nice place for Mughalai food situated near Delhi gate prices are pocket friendly portion sizes are also good.Butter chicken is a must try dish here .
"Right on the darya ganj main road.....try eating chicken lawabdar and afghani chicken the most creamiest and butteriest dishes awesome taste nice ambience"...๐
Perks of living near Old Delhi is that you have all the legendary restaurants in proximity. This is one such place. Everything here is absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.
P. S. I've always ordered from this place, thus, cannot comment on the dining experience.
Probably one of the best outlet in Delhi. It serves amazing Dal makhni with wonderful flavour. It servers a very flavourful variety of non veg . We had cream chicken which was awesome. The quality of naan bread was too good we even tried rumali roti that was too good . The service is extremely good and the staff is very polite. Overall the best palce for a wonderful dineout
Authentic Mughal Cuisines, Chinese and so much more from just one place, this place is worth visiting and deserves all sorts of praises. Being located in an area like daryaganj where people stick to taste buds for Mughal Cuisines, this restaurant not only gives you that but also provided you more options. Worth a visit with family
very tasty dishes. chicken gravy, tandoori chicken and hara chicken are just fabulous and bundi raita are just awesome. atmostphere quite nice and decent. very nice place for family and for little party also...โบ๏ธโบ๏ธโบ๏ธ
The food was great. You gotta try out their kadai chicken which is finger licking good. U can complement that with their zeera rice which is equally good.
This place has one of the best Chicken Rara around. Service is pretty good too. Even Malai Chicken is awesome in here. I suggest you to atleast try it once, you will like it for sure.

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.
Ambience is ok.Chicken rarra, chicken dum biryani, butter naan were ordered by us. Service was good. Feedback was taken by staff about taste of food that's feel me quality of restaurant.

Zaika just to tel there are many with same name but this is original.
Food is authentic with light on pocket.
Chicken is what it melts as soon as you put in your mouth.
Rara is must try.
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 liโl options in drinks and desserts but who would order anything else when you have Phirni on the menu๐.
All in all I had a wonderful experience at zaika
