During our visit to Seattle, we decided to try Zaiqa because of its high food ratings. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with our experience. I can't help but wonder if those who gave high ratings had a better food experience elsewhere. Here's how I rated the dishes we tried: - Rice: 5 stars - Kashmir Tea: 5 stars - Lahori Fish: 4 stars - Naan: 4 stars - Nihari: 2 stars - Kabobs: 2 stars - Chicken Mali Boti: -5 stars - Chicken Karahi: ½ star - Chicken chargha : 0 stars The Nihari meat was very dark and not tender enough; it should have been light in color and very tender. The Kabobs were dry, and I suspect they were pre-made and frozen, then microwaved without a cover, causing them to lose moisture during reheating. The Chicken Mali Boti was an enormous, undercooked chunk of meat. The Chicken Karahi was prepared with an onion sauce and sprinkled with kasuri methi, resembling an Indian restaurant style rather than an authentic Karahi dish.
We had our first dining experience at this place on Sunday, and it was truly memorable! I absolutely loved the beef nihari paired with butter and garlic naan – such a perfect combination. We also ordered Karahi, nihari, biryani, white rice, and naan. While the nihari was outstanding, I feel the biryani and Karahi could be improved. However, the overall experience was fantastic! The customer service was exceptional, and the portions were generous for the price. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, which made the meal even more enjoyable. As a lovely gesture, they treated us to complimentary halwa, and we ended our dinner with chai that was simply delightful. Though they forgot to pack our rice, we went back the next day, and they more than made up for it. Not only did they provide fresh rice, but they also surprised us with complimentary pudding, which truly made our day. Their effort to ensure customers leave happy speaks volumes about their dedication. I absolutely love this place, the food, and the wonderful staff. It’s my new go-to spot, and I can’t wait to visit again ! :)
Not bad but would not try it again. The pace of customer service is slow and nihari was mildly warm. The space is extremely tight especially the unneeded design of table legs.
Had dinner with family. All the food was delicious except the chicken dum biriyani. The biriyani was definitely not fresh. Mutton Karahi and Spicy Fish Fry was very good. So was Chicken Malai Boti Kabab. The portion was huge and we made the mistake ordering more than what we could eat. Overall good dining experience. Highly recommended.
Unexpectedly stumbled upon this little gem, and it was by far the best Pakistani food we’ve ever had. We had Lahori Chargha, Shinwari Mutton Karahi and butter chicken. All were divine, but the Chargha was to die for. Exceptional service and experience. Thank you. We’ll definitely be back.
I am sharing these photos so everyone can have access to their menu. The food was really good, service was perfect. The only reason I gave them 4 star is because there were some mosquitos when we were eating and they bothered us 3 to 4 times. Overall it’s one of the best places to go and have Halal food.
Zaiqa Restaurant is one of my favorite spots for buffet dining, offering an incredible variety of dishes that cater to diverse tastes. During my recent visit, I was impressed by the balance of quality and quantity. The buffet spread featured an array of dishes, including authentic Mughlai curries, biryanis, freshly baked naans, and a variety of flavorful kebabs. The highlight for me was the live barbecue station, where the chefs prepared succulent, smoky meats right in front of us. The vegetarian options were equally satisfying, with dishes like paneer tikka masala and a rich, creamy dal makhani standing out. The salad bar was fresh and vibrant, offering lighter options to balance the meal. For dessert, the spread included traditional sweets like gulab jamun and kheer alongside cakes and pastries, ensuring there was something for everyone. The ambiance of Zaiqa is warm and welcoming, with attentive staff who made sure our dining experience was seamless. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and the food stations were replenished regularly. What stood out to me was the value for money – the buffet offers a premium experience without being overly expensive. I left feeling satisfied and looking forward to my next visit. If you love diverse, flavorful food, Zaiqa is a must-visit!
Went to Zaiqa for the first time and we enjoyed everything we ordered. Their barbecue is sizzling hot and well done. We asked for everything mild and they tried their best to accommodate us. The chicken kharahi was also delicious but next time I would ask for less oil. Their service was amazing. Our waitress made sure we got the barbecue first and then waited until we were ready to bring the main course. Will come here again! Good Pakistani food ♥️

I try my best to have breakfast Saturday or Sunday. Amazing buffet breakfast in town .recommend to others must try.
The food was amazing! The flavours decadent! This is a great spot to come with your friends and families to have a nice night out and indulge in some amazing Indian cuisine. I will be back again very soon :)
The location is beautiful, offering a wide range of food choices. We opted for mutton curry and roasted mutton, accompanied by salad, plain naan, yogurt, and fresh vegetables. The delicious meal felt truly special, reminiscent of Skardu Gilgit, where the weather and food share a similar, yet undeniably superior, quality. The service was also exceptional. We even enjoyed a comforting, Halwa and cup of Pakistani milk tea, just like home. Highly recommended. Parking: Easy to park front of the restaurant door

Food is very yummy. The best halal food in town. We mostly order green chicken tikka, it s hands down the best so far in Vancouver. Their Nihari is very yummy too. Everything on their menu is very good. Their service and ambience is very good.
It is not the same anymore. The water glasses are dirty, the spoons and knives are old. I do not recommend it.

Inaccurate pictures in the menu , the actual food is very disappointing .we ordered the Bihari boti which was not bihari nor Boti The meat was stiff and no seasoning even no salt sooooo bland Dont recommend the chef has no idea about bihari bbq style cooking Food : 1/5
Pathetic service and very unhygienic. There was water in the bowl in which they served upon asking they mentioned that the chef served it like that by mistake and the salad they gave was all smelly and the onion smelled rotten. We also ordered chicken tikka which tasted bad as well.
We were appreciative that Zaiqa were able to accommodate our party of 20 at such short notice. Great food and ambience. We will definitely be back again.
Vegetarian options: They had vegetarian options Food

Used to be our go to place for their kabab platter. But this time they confirmed theyll give jeera rice which is included in the platter. But instead they just served plain rice. Sweet chutney is also included in platter but they didnt serve that as well.
