Best Indian I’ve had in a while and that’s saying something, as it’s my favorite cuisine and I try to try some wherever I go! The buffet was reasonably priced; it included naan, had great options (also dessert), and was well-made. I tried out some new dishes and old reliables and my favorite was definitely the curry goat and the paneer saag. They refilled the trays often and quickly and the staff was friendly, attentive, and easy to talk to. I would absolutely come here every time I visited Niagara or Buffalo even. 10/10

Great Indian food. We had the buffet (that’s the only option on weekends). It had quite a few options and everything was good.

Great food was just what was looking for. 5 stars as I enjoy Indian and don’t get it often. Lots of choices on the buffet. Thought all the sauces were great. Spice for sure in some dishes. Service was good say close to the bar and staff was attentive. This place was very busy on a Saturday night. It’s family style lots of big open tables. It’s kind of loud and crowded. But didn’t diminish from the food. Would have liked a few more desserts but not what come to this type of place for.

Indian restaurant serving dinner buffet with both vegetarian and non- vegetarian Indian food. Their Dal Makhani, Butter Chicken and Fish Pakora was the best. The Chicken biryani and Mutton curry were pretty average! Likewise the dahi Bhalla’s were not as soft as they should be. Pretty decent food overall for a buffet!

My first experience eating indian cuisine. Our waiter Victor was as good as you could ever want. Went over to the buffet and explained each dish to us. We couldn't have had a better experience. The food was wonderful and well prepared. There was nothing there that I didn't enjoy. Will be returning. They are seasonal, so they will close around the end of October.

All day buffet restaurant. Food is good and gets refilled on time. Good policy on the food wastage policy. The food was fresh and they were many items on the menu as well. Dessert section was also good. If you don’t get street parking there is spot opposite to this place for 10$ .

Found this india restaurant when we went to view Niagara Falls. Liked the taste very much. One of the best Buffet food I ate. There was long waiting when we went but does provide seating with shelter outside the restaurant for waiting. Be sure to read the policy. You get a server per table who serve naan bread ( plain or butter ) and drinks you choose. Separate price for drinks. Hope whoever missed indian food finds comfort at this buffet.

A great buffet place with delicious food spread! They have maintained the tradition and cooked them to Indian perfection. The place is overflowing and has a long wait time but tell you what, it’s worth the wait. We relished their spread thoroughly. The aspect I loved the most was that they value food and they fine you for food wastage. That was worth a try in all buffet places to respect every morsel of food. Kudos and happy hogging!

I personally suggest you guys. Not to visit this restaurant they policy of wasting food as u taste some food and it s tastes terrible yet you have to finish it or else u need to pay and extra of $11 each pound it included the trash food too and they will just warn you and talk about policy of hotel as if it s really strict place to have a meal. Where you are going to enjoy the meal but it completely spoiled my mood. If u want to enjoy have a good time this is not the place. The food was average no meat in mutton biryani

Updated: Its not just about the money..the point is money spent vs value derived (taste, service, variety, overall approach). Had their lunch buffet. Spent US $54. Limited food choices. Taste was average for most dishes. Dessert had kheer (supposed to be rice pudding) and gulab jamun only. Kheer tasted bland and didnt have the rich texture that it is supposed to have. Service was not great. The servers do not refill the glass and were busy talking to themselves. Try the lunch buffet at Indias Taste in Markham (city near Toronto), Canada. For the same price, you would get at least 3-5 times more variety, better service and better taste. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options were available but again limited and not great tasting except for mutter paneer.

Dropped in here recently with the intention of having the evening buffet only to be told it wasnt operating and it was menu only. Due to limited eateries in the area we decided to stay. Had a shared chicken tikka starter followed by Chicken biriyani and a lamb curry. The food was average as was the service and certainly not worth the $80 bill. Left a little underwhelmed but hey ho !

November 22, 2024

Seems like Zaika s $20 bucks buffet menu is similar to ordinary Indian buffet restaurant of Texas where you pay only $12. For same to same menu and off course no extra charge for any left overs. So Zaika is nothing but a hype for us, we ate today there but highly dissatisfying menu options.

November 22, 2024

The waitress was a bit overacting, and don t trust the ratings guys it s all false. I never write any reviews in the google maps but felt like writing this because the chicken they served seemed to be pretty old and almost all the tasted similar except the water because it was tap water .

We had our club dinner meet at Zaika Indian Cuisine tonight, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The hospitality was warm and welcoming, making our evening feel truly special. The food was nothing short of phenomenal every dish was freshly prepared, bursting with flavor, and incredibly delicious. Zaika really knows how to bring authentic taste to the table, and it was a treat for everyone who attended. A special mention to the staff, who were not only friendly but also impressively quick and responsive to all our needs. They made sure everything ran smoothly and that we felt right at home. Thank you, Zaika, for a memorable night! Highly recommend for anyone looking for excellent Indian cuisine and outstanding service.

Great Experience, Delicious Food! This place is a hidden gem! The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a spacious setup that feels both cozy and elegant. The staff here are incredibly friendly, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The food? Absolutely delicious! The flavors are rich, authentic, and perfectly spiced. From classic favorites to unique dishes, everything we tried was full of flavor. The menu has something for everyone, whether you re a spice lover or prefer something milder. Highly recommend if youre looking for a great Indian dining experience in a comfortable, relaxed setting. Cant wait to come back!

I was looking for a good authentic Indian food, So, I thought I arrived early for breakfast / lunch - i think it was closed for us. But then a moment later while I strolled in the block/area, i saw a few more people also arrived and waited at their front door. So i asked them about that establishment, turned out they said things, good variety foods, so i had for all you can eat buffet. The atmosphere was above average, and clean. Their staff / service could be better that time. So, then I tried again recently and wish the food variety and service will be improved. Perhaps, I did not come on the right day.

Firstly - the food straight up is BANGER. You know how you go to a buffet and like one or two things and stick to those ? That going to be a problem here since the entire spread is amazing! Do meet with Rajveer - Her smile will definitely add to the experience. Tell her you saw this review and I m sure you will make her day. Pro tip - go between 4:30 and 5:30 so you get to enjoy the lunch and the dinner options.

I recently visited this restaurant for the Indian buffet which is very near to Niagara Falls state park and I was really impressed. They have a wide range of dishes, so there s plenty to try for everyone. The quality of the food was really good everything tasted fresh and flavorful. I especially enjoyed the tandoori chicken , fish fry , lamb biryani, gulab jamun and the variety of veggie starters they offered. The service was also great; the staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we were comfortable throughout. Overall, it was a really satisfying experience, and I ll definitely be back to enjoy the buffet again! , Only negative is the street parking , which is usually full during lunch/dinner hours .

October 22, 2024

Rude staff and horrible service. Would not recommend. Our waitress who took the order had 0 clue on any basic questions we had on the food. She just came and threw the plates on the table instead of serving us. She also was very clumsy, dropped off the water on the table while refilling the glass. Then we see her with cold cleaning her nose right where we were eating food and using the same hands to serve us napkins, water etc. When paying the check, we were added 18% gratuity mandatory (with 2 people or more). I requested calling the manager and when the guy who I doubt was the manager came to our table with the menu to show where it was written mandatory 18% gratuity. When we highlighted the service was bad, food was decent he had 0 courtesy to apologize and still made us pay for a service fee that should be optional especially with that pathetic service. I do not mind paying more than 18% gratuity if they deserved and service was good, however I do not appreciate paying service charge when you are treated so badly. I would not recommend due to bad hygiene and cleanliness and rude staff.

The food was awesome. Every cury either veg or non veg was awesome. The roti was good. The hotel was clean and staff was polite and helpful. Would like to recommend and revisit next time I visit Niagara. Visited again here today after more than year but still it s too good. Awesome food each and every curry was tasty. Vegetarian options: The food was awesome.

$23 charged for 2 bites of curd rice! Worst service. They dont have any responsible person to talk at restaurant. They only provide buffet and also charge for the person sitting on the table even if not eating. While entering I informed the server about 3 people having food in our group and we were 4. As 1 person was not well, she had some curd rice from friends plate and was charged $23 for 2 bites of it! They dis not informed before that they will charge.

The food was not good at all, the paneer was so hard and tasted bad. The saddest part is that you cant even take criticism and you have no sense how to talk to the customers writing their honest review on google. You need to have the courtesy to accept negative comments and the sense to talk respectfully to your customers. This is disappointing and highly unprofessional. I am waiting for your response to this comment too!

We visited two days back for dinner and at the door one girl said we have 15 mins wait time but did you read our policy I asked what is is and shown me this board, came with family I said yes I am fine and after 2 mins got a text table is ready. Once we headed back there is one tall guy came and said did you read our policy we are only buffet etc blah blah.. no greeting nothing very rude . Yes ofcourse we came to eat food and we do pay bill and tip I don t understand why multiple times they have to repeat that with out even letting us in expected the great as we were hungry, the tandoori chicken was smelling bad rest food is average .. butter chicken naan is good. And there is one more board at the serving says the wasted food will be charged 9$ per pound. Finally with 100 plus $ bill I Could hardly eat some food. Finally he asked my son how old are you, he said 9 .. they allow kids below 10 years with discounted rate. Overall the food is bad and the way they received us is very rude and frustrating, will never go back!!

I do not know what people like here and giving fantastic rating? We opted for butter naan and naan smell was too bad due to oil used in butter naan. I spent my half life in Punjab therefore I am aware how is the taste and smell of naan. Paneer is not paneer and used same special oil to cook instead of butter/ghee. I do not have option to give zero .

Average Indian food, limited item. Nothing special.

August 22, 2024

SCAM! they intentionally make the sweets too sweet (unbearable) to prevent people from having much. They have the MOST AVERAGE FOOD in the whole of NY bad TASTE with bad AMBIENCE. NOT EVEN WORTH AN 1 TIME EXPERIENCE They have CRAZY RULES Can t dine for longer than 45 minutes And the WORST AMBIANCE.

The food was OK. Not the worse Indian cuisine Ive had but not up to my personal taste. The service was horrible for our table was basically ignored. Water and Naan bread had to be requested. The naan isnt quite naan-ish... it was more like indian style tortillas. When we asked for a ginger ale, we were given carbonated water. When we mentioned this to the server and asked for a canned ginger ale instead, it was brought to us and slammed onto our table. Desserts are extremely sweet and choices were limited. Last but not least, the prices were steep. I do not see myself going again.

The buffet spread for dinner was very good with multiple options for both vegetarians and non vegetarians. We tried most of the dishes and the taste was unique. Would definitely recommend to visit this restaurant. Kid-friendliness: Complementary rates for kids below 12.

Not sure what s up with the hyped reviews but I found the taste of the food bland, not one item stood out, plus it s a pricey buffet. We visited the restaurant on a Wednesday afternoon after looking at the good reviews. They charge you $1.99 extra for the garlic naan. The tandoori wings had a weird taste, the samosa was meh, lamb biryani was a cheap replacement for goat biryani, kadhi was flavorless, gulab jamun too sweet. About the only good thing was the really good service we received from the waitress.

BEWARE BIG SCAM They first tell you the buffet price something cheap and then over charge when it s time to pay the food was not that good service ok but mainly they rip you off I would highly say to pay everyone stay away Food

The best butter chicken I have ever tried and also the tandoori wings (my favorites). The spicy was perfect for me. The location it s really close to the falls so it was perfect for me as a tourist. I m sorry for not being local and be able to eat there every day. Thank you so much for the service, it was really amazing!

Greetings from NYC! Everytime we are in Niagara Falls, Zaika is the only place that truly feels like home! The food, the vibe, the service, everything is impeccable! Always busy and packed, so that should speak for itself. Always happy with the fresh naans at your table and their buffet is always amazing.

I heard somebody complaining about the price of the buffet. For me it s absolutely perfect if you ask for plates in a la cart restaurant is going to be the same, here I can eat even dessert. 21 dollars it worth it. Thank u so much for the experience that I lived there. Excellent service!

Delicious food, great atmosphere, reasonably priced and good selection. Ended up going there with couple of friends for 4th of July celebrations. Owner is really nice and friendly, servers and him kept of checking on is if everything was alright. Naan were made fresh and they did bring them to your table. Dahi bhalle, Indian style chicken curry, tandoori chicken and lamb biryani was my favorite. Enjoyed it with a chilled godfather beer. They even have selection of Indian alcohol. If you in the area try this place. You won t be disappointed.

Zaika offers an authentic North Indian buffet that is absolutely delightful! The flavors are rich and the variety is impressive, making it a great spot for anyone craving genuine Indian cuisine. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed dining experience. While the prices are a bit on the higher side, the quality of the food makes it worth the splurge. Highly recommend for those looking to enjoy an authentic taste of North India

I recently visited Zaika Restaurant with my family for their buffet, and I was extremely disappointed. The food was far from fresh, with several dishes tasting like they had been sitting out for hours. Additionally, the service was subpar. The staff seemed disinterested when I asked to check upon the lamb biryani as it had No Lamb At All and later we were served with a scoop of lab on our table, that s completely unprofessional. Overall, it was not worth the price, and I will not be returning.
