We had an absolutely delicious lunch here at Zaika today. I ordered the butter chicken which satisfied cravings that no other butter chicken has in years! Although next time I'll order what my wife had because it was AMAZIMG, The Lamb Jalfrezi. The mango Lassi lasted through the meal and sure was fresh and tasty. I could go on and on.. Staff were perfect!

We finally got takeaways from Zaika Restaurant, which has recently opened here in Blenheim. Their website is easy to navigate, and the food was ready for pickup very fast. We ordered the mixed platter for two, and it was really nice, very tasty, we did kind of expect a tamarind sauce that usually comes with most mixed platters so that might be something to add along with the other tasty sauce that was provided if it's not usually included but that's one small thing, everything else was delicious.
Our Butter Chicken was so good and had plenty of sauce!! The spice level was on point. Most places we've been to don't quite get the spice level correct, but man, the chef nailed it, so it's definitely an added bonus for that!
Garlic Naan was also very tasty. Staff were lovely and friendly to deal with, and we will definitely dine in next time. Definitely recommend it. Thank you.

We dined in but when we got there all the lights were turned off! It is a place we have dined before when other restaurants have been here and enjoy the coziness. The food was awesome, very nice flavors and fresh. Service was quick and efficient. We ordered drinks to start with and the lady taking our order had no idea what we were asking for and got the man to help. There was no ice, lemon/lime which is OK but is nice to have.
While we found the food great, the service was lacking, not even a smile was seen.
If we go back it will be for takeaways.

Great mains, cooked to your taste. Chutneys to go with popadums overpriced, never seen them like this usually grouped together on a platter. Needs more people to eat inside to give it some atmosphere. This place needs support - it's good, I have eaten curries for the last 50years throughout UK & India.

This would have been the best curry I have had in NZ. The curry was rich with flavour, (not too thin), the bhaji were moist and the sauce yum, and tue naan fluffy. The menu extensive too 🙂

Had about 5 take aways now and every meal has been amazing. The chicken mulghlai is the best Indian meal I have had in New Zealand since coming here over 20 years ago.
