Zaiqa Restaurant & Sweets in Toronto

Tandoori chicken, chicken Bihari boti and other tandoori snacks are really better as compare to curries. But Biryani is great as well.

I order five chicken kebab and she give me five roll

Very tasty buryani special beef

The biryani here is out of this world! Perfectly spiced and flavorful.

Conveniently located in a quiet nook this place offers a variety of food items at a reasonable price within minutes. Placing order over the phone can minus that too. Some items are very good to our liking and a regular part of our diet, for other reasons as well. Worth a try.

This place has the best most delicious and tasty food in Etobicoke. The butter chicken routine is a must try! I also do my catering here. Food is the best!

Best Nihari in GTA

Probably the most underrated restaurant in Toronto, their Nihari is so delicious, I really enjoyed it looking forward to visiting again

They increased their price so the food is not worth it anymore for take out. The portion is also small, I ordered kofta curry and it came with 3 small kofta balls.

Best food and tremendous customer service

Best food ever

Amazing food!! Amazing service!! 100 percent coming back

Delicious food, amazing people

Very slow service here I ordered day before and they still made me wait here longer.

They take way too long to prepare your food. I had ordered samosas 30 mins prior and it still took them an additional 20 mins . Ridiculous

Don t go there because they have closed their dining and tale out food quantity is very less

Very poor customer service, server with a specs acted so strange. Food is something that made us to visit twice but we got served by the same server again.

Worst biryani...in name of biryani they serve dry rice and dry chicken pieces...Not the same biryani they use to serve....very bad experience....unfortunately my last order..

We recently dined at Zaiqa restaurant and wanted to express my appreciation for the delicious food we had. We ordered boneless chicken biryani, Malai chicken tikka, and naan with chana masala, and all the items were incredibly delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to enjoy a satisfying meal.

Amazing food and service!

The atmosphere is meh, but the food makes up for it. Great flavour and serving size. The only criticism is I found it a little bit oily, but not enough to keep me from returning again and again. I wouldnt hesitate to bring friends and family to share good food.

I recently dined at Zaiqa Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The biryani was incredibly flavorful, with a perfect blend of spices. Their tandoori items, especially the chicken and lamb kebabs, were deliciously tender and well-marinated. The freshly baked naans were soft and delightful. The staff were excellent, providing top-notch service. Highly recommended for a fantastic dining experience!

Zaiqa Restaurant is a gem! The biryani is outstanding, rich in flavor and perfectly spiced. Their tandoori chicken and lamb kebabs are tender and delicious. The soft, freshly baked naans are a perfect complement. The staff is friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even better. Highly recommend! Food : 5/5

The vegetable biryani I enjoyed at this restaurant was delicious, with a generous portion suitable for a single diner. As a vegetarian, Ive eaten several of their naans and curries, all boasting impeccable flavors. Furthermore, their menu prices are quite reasonable, particularly for students on a budget. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone seeking a satisfying meal without breaking the bank.

My recent experience at Zaiqa was amazing. Food was amazing and good environment. I m someone who cannot have spicy food. Here the spice was perfect and delicious. Each item was absolutely savoury. Would highly recommend this place.

We ordered catering and food was absolutely yummy just like home cooked

Good indian food.

This is Abdul samad. It s wrost restaurant I have ever see. If they give complementary still not worth it. Cuz you waste ur time. Never recommend to anyone.

Amazing atmosphere, the severs were very polite and attentive. Food was fresh, and delicious. We re looking forward to coming back :)

Customer service is really good much appreciated

First time here, and I ordered a family combo. I was not disappointed everything was good, my family loved it. Im already planning when to come back and try other menus.

Tried the chicken paratha roll its very juicy and delicious will sure buy it again next time .

So delicious naan with butter beside many perfect dishes

Amazing pakistani food and good pricing...

The food was delicious masha allah and the service was excellent and specifically thanks to brother SALMAN. Thanks

Worst place to eat .I went with my kids and the food was stale and they put left overs in afternoon meals.Please don t ever visit it s a nightmare as whole night my stomach was upset.Meat and Tandoori meals are hard and stale and smell before you eat

The chicken tikka masala was very delicious and the price was very good. They claimed they were HMA certified but when asked for certificate they didnt have one. Food

Awesome foods. And great services.

POOR FOOD QUALITY, They sell stale chicken, I had my stomach upset for a week after having their food, All their reviews with above 3 stars might be paid / their own reviews I guess. I ordered chicken Tikka, chicken tandoori, chicken wings, butter chicken, and biriyani. All the chicken items were old, it was very smelly & tastes very bad. Dietary restrictions: Waste food

Lady who picks up the phone.needs to get fired. She so rude and has zero cuatomer service skills. Never going there

I wish I could give negative 5 They keep burning their food. While ordering food I mentioned the girl on the counter please dont burn the meat but alas they didnt care. Girl on the counter, doesnt know how to behave, first of all we have to search for her, and her airpods are always on, we were calling her but she didnt even give a damm. Dine-in service is horrible didnt serve spoon or fork, water. At the end asked for a box to take my remaining food home gave us a box but no bag to Cary it back home. I feel that this restaurant needs to improve their service.

Nice restaurant

Like it because the biriyani is good and for the price of $9 it s a sweet deal.

Starters are good

If youre looking for a delicious meal, look no further than this restaurants lamb biryani. From the moment you take your first bite, youll be transported to a world of flavor and spice that you wont want to leave. The lamb in this biryani is cooked to perfection, tender and juicy with just the right amount of seasoning. The rice is perfectly cooked, with each grain retaining its shape and texture. The spices used in this dish are perfectly balanced, creating a mouth-watering aroma and a taste that will leave you wanting more. I also ordered lamb chaap it was good too. The portion size is generous, so you wont leave feeling hungry. The restaurant itself is clean and well-lit I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for an authentic and delicious Indian/Pakistani meal. The lamb biryani is a standout dish that is sure to impress even the most discerning of foodies. So, whether youre a seasoned Indian food lover or a first-timer, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

Delicious food in reasonable price I love it

Excellent

Haleem and Brain Masala is very good. Must try!

Went there with no expectations but this really shocked me with their best quality of food. You must try this place if you want to try some new restaurant near GTA.

Best food in town if looking for authentic Pakistani/Indian cuisine. Good choices of meat dishes, especially Their Malai Boti. friendly, and fast service. Delivery is also available. They cater for bigger parties and weddings. Overall, it was a good dining experience every time.

Zaiqa has an amazing authentic taste. You are looking for good biryani and karahi, you must try it here as you will not be disappointed. Its great taste and quality at very affordale pricing

Fantastic place! Tried their biryani and chicken tandoori with naan. Authentic Pakistani/ Indian flavour. Would visit again

Hidden gem in Etobicoke area for authentic Pakistani food - fresh BBQ with the best bihrai kebab around. The rolls are by far the best on the go meal.

If you re looking for some of the best Pakistani food in Toronto, then look no further than Zaiqa. This restaurant offers delicious food, prepared by clearly passionate people, who consistently strive for achieving perfection. From the service, to the portions, to the quality and prices - everything is top notch. My personal favourite dishes are the Lamb Biryani, Butter Chicken Poutine, Chana Masala and BBQ items. I have been here multiple times. Believe me not once have I been disappointed. You won t be either!

Awesome food, awesome service! Zaiqa s my go to whenever I want to grab something Pakistani/Indian to eat. Best place ever. Look no further! Vegetarian options: Dietary restrictions: Halal and Vegetarian options Parking: Kid-friendliness: Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Excellent food especially the briyani and the staff was extremely friendly. Would recommend 10/10.

Fantastic and superb!

Awesome restaurant, everything tasted great :)

Good food

Absolutely fabulous little eatery, tasty dishes an absolute gem . Highly recommend this place reasonable prices .

Good taste, not expensive! *****

Quiet family restaurant with very flavourful food at a reasonable price. Recommended!

Such an amazing restaurant, Baldeep had an amazing customer service!

Best chicken biryani :) highly recommended

The container quantity is comparatively small. And half of it is filled with oil

Amazing food Tandoori chicken, kabab and bihari chicken With daal and roti amazing. No comparison Service need to be a bit fast and place need to be a bit clean to make a better atmosphere for family dine in. But food is superb

Well, if youre given this place less than 5 stars, something is really wrong with your tastebuds! The food is Beyond tasty has the most flavor and you cant go wrong for the prices, its very affordable. Im caribbean and I love this place I always buy it and My kids that are under five always eat it too! Cant wait to go dine in because I always get it delivered!

Liked chicken Biryani

Had their Chicken Kabab Rolls as snacks. They are small but fair for the price. Really tasty!

Good place, amazing food must try the combos.

Very good good and genuine service.

We went there around the closing time n the lady who served us was so nice she gave us briyani with extra gravy and a complimentary drink this is my second time for briyani and it tastes amazing .. i love this place and do recommend for specially briyani for a good reasonable price !!

Ordered for brain masala that was cooked with daal first time I ever see brain masala cooked in daal so cheap very disappointed never recommend

This place is usually good , I ve ordered in the past , I ordered fried fish and got fish sticks. Absolutely disgusting , they took frozen fish sticks from the grocery store and fried them. Everything else I ordered tasted good (but I m questioning the hygiene now ) . Do not order the fish

Excellent price. Large portions. Perfect taste. Highly recommend.

Excellent food. My favourite is palaak paneer, chicken biryani and tandoori chicken. Everyone is super nice. Thank you

Had the worst experience eith the shop keeper ordered 75 $ worth of food and was handed a bag after waiting for 25 minutes int he store i went to my car and my kids opened the bag turns out it was someone else s order . I went back and gave it to him and said give me ny stuff this is someone else s order and the man starts accusing me of taking someone elses order. He was extremely rude and unprofessional. .. i cud have drove off with the food hut i came back and gave it to him. Gave me my food like an hour later charged me an extra $7 and said that i had eaten from the other order( it was completely packed)

Can t compare to Hyderabadi Biryani but worth the price and The quantity is also good.

One of the best seekh kebobs and very affordable too. Im surprised why this place isnt that rushy however their karahi was a bit off to my taste but other then that. Great service and clean environment. I also tried their paye and nashta, which is the main reason why i started liking this place from the start.

Food was good and quantity was more than enough.

Worst food experience in 2years in canada I am not been able to upload the photo of my order otherwise please don t order in this trash restaurant

Excellent food and great customer services... must try their combo for 2 with chicken qorma with your better half... their weekend special aloo chana reminds of back home puri chana...

This place is my familys favorite restaurant , the food is always fresh and tastes amazingly delicious. All the need a bigger space.

Veal Biryani and chaapli kebobs were to die for. Super yummmmm! Visiting again!

Excellent quality of food and very polite staff & very hygienic place

These guys are so rude, specially that lady who works there is so arrogant. She acts as if she is paying for everyone to eat. Owner is the same when addressed to him how she treats everyone he got defensive and started blaming other customers

Taste is good with Desi n Halal dishes availability

Zaiqa is tasteful desi restaurant with halal food availability

Very yummy food, great quantity as well. Quite friendly and cooperative staff esp the owner

Overload food packaging

Not a very clean place

You should try their biryaaani

Amazingly flavorful rice and savory chicken. I over ate the food was so good! Great color presentation too.. a delicious and very filling dinner.

Shout out to Aman Deep, who went out of her way to make our experience extremely comfortable. Her knowledgeable service and friendly demeanour definitely compensated the mediocre tasting food rated Fish pakoras were Lollipop Chicken Reshmi Kabab were over cooked Karahi s were boring n blahh- same palette different names( no bone less options available except for the makhani)

Have been searching for sometime for good affordable Mughlai food. Just about I gave up and then I stumbled upon Zaiqa and boy was I surprised. I really loved the chicken Qorma and biryani. I would say it was Oily but thats what you expect from a good curry dish. Even the biryani rice was cooked to perfection and succulent chicken piece. I would recommend the place chicken items as I am not beef eater.

Walked in the restaurant and walked right out. It had a bad smell.

Food is always made fresh and the Bryani is good with a nice spiciness.

Visited for Halwa puri dine in. The food was super yummy and service too good. Not heavy on the pocket. They served 3 puris with ducious chana, achaar and halwa. The puris are not too greasy which is good. Water was served complementry. Took the payment after we finished our food.

Worst food ever.

Worst service the lady at the counter was so rude if I can give a 0 I will give zero stars such a bad experience

Awesome food. Love the biryani

Tooo oily I ordered samosas from this restaurant and those were too oily like they put some extra bowl of oil on it. I used 10-15 tissues to absorbed the oil from Samosa but still too oily.

No doubt, food is delicious, love thier chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, Nan.. thier biryani is also well done. The only thing i don t like is the behaviour of the staff. Girl on the counter, first of all we have to search for her, and her airpods are on, that if we have calling her she don t even give a damm. 2 times i dine in both of times same thing happens. Which i feel that this restaurant nees improvement on. No complaints for food though.

Very good food.

Good quality food at a low price.

Sweet service, quality food and the quantity is perfect for reasonable prices!

The girl working at the front talk very polite and the food is the very much tasty and the service is very fast they make food fresh and good I love there food whenever I go there I enjoy

I ordered for the first time from here, very disappointed. When I walked in to pick up my food I noticed the lady microwaving the 2 curries we ordered ( not to mention in a plastic container) They did not taste fresh as if they were pre made and frozen ( figures why she was microwaving them) The biryani was okay, nothing special about it. Overall the cost and quality was very disappointing. My first and last experience here.

Taste was bad and order was wrong. Very disappointed with food. Never going back.

Nice and good food like fresh all the time and customer satisfaction love to visit again

I stumbled upon this lil gem of a place and sooo love it! The dishes - biryani, nahari n kababs are amazing! The food is delicious and they maintain great quality. They are my goto spot!

Food so delicious bbq highly recomanded mouth watering weldone zeeshan keep it up

Go for good taste and service

Ohh my gawddd bestest place the staff is soooo nice Will come here again and again the chicken biryani is soooooo nice

Terrible chicken karahi it had no taste at all and I also ordered butter chicken with rice I got biryani instead of plain rice and the biryani it self had no chicken at all I think they just gave me left over rice the chicken karahi tasted old. The butter chicken was average nothing crazy over all not impressed will never be ordering again.

I ordered 3 extra spicy Biryanis yesterday and the rice was dry for all 3 containers as well as them filling the biryanis with green chillies to make it spicy instead of prepping proper masala. Used the cheap way to make it spicy, if I knew they would do this I wouldn t have ordered. Very disappointed

Excellent service fresh and delicious food

Excellent food

Very happy to find they have fish biryani ordered 1 chicken and 1 fish biryani .honestly waste of money worst biryani i ever have

The curry is way too thin: plus they did not give lemon, ginger, or other toppings to put on. D:

BBQ platter was really good, Nawaz provided awesome hospitality

I loved the food, this is my favorite restaurant so far.

If you are looking for Pakistani yummy dishes then you need this restaurant

One of the best and most affordable restaurants for authentic and delicious food

Good food

Very Delicious, Good Ambiance, Good Hospitality. I ll visit and recommend.

Very delicious

Habibi Thank You.

Bad experience... try some other . Quality wise 1 star out of 5.

Excellent Food BBQ Platter Biryani Tandoori Fish everything was yummy must try this place thanks MR Zeeshan

Amazing

Its a wonderful Restraurent.. one old chef is their, when he is on the Restraurent that days the biriyani will be more tasty because of his experience..

Excellent vegetarian food! Very reasonably priced too. A great place for lunch.

Pathetic service and arrogant owner and the lady who works. Worst place for kids to go. Have only one high chair. Washroom is very dirty. If you order mild it will only be very spicy. Will never recommend. They are not wearing mask which is unacceptable. Proof of vaccination is also not a mandate here. No one asked for it. Good luck to all who want to go there. You better be lucky, we were not.

Excellent customer service. The owner was very courteous and warm. We order butter chicken, BBQ Platter and some rotis. The platter was amazing and the rotis were so freshly made. Since it was our first time, the owner helped us with our options and selections. The bbq platter is good enough for 5 people so we did a take out after our dinner. Highly recommended

Visited this place many times and everytime we are served with Great tasty and fresh food...

I ordered a chicken biryani and tandoori chicken but in both the items the chicken was raw. Though the biryani had good flavour bcoz of the chicken the whole biryani lost its appeal. Tandoori chicken was burnt from outside and undercooked from inside.

Be careful while ordering vegetarian food. Although our item was labelled vegetable Biryani, it contained pieces of chicken meat and bones. While I understand that this caters primarily to non vegetarians, I believe if you advertise vegetarian items on the menu, steps should be taken to ensure that it is indeed meat free.

Reasonably priced good tasting Pakistani food!

We ordered the Family Combo for Four, Nihari was great, gosht was correct, masala was the right taste. Beef kebob are better than the chicken kebob, and biryani had nice authentic taste. all for a good price. Im sure this combo can feed 6 people. Will definitely go back

Excellent! Perfect spicing, great portions, and inexpensive. Very friendly owners.

Authentic, great tasting food with great service and unbelievable prices! You will enjoy this place.

I would give you a Negative review If I could Zaiqa! Just spent nearly $100 on food at the Etobicoke location. Was having some guests at home and never have I felt more humiliated!! That should give you an idea of how bad the food was. Lamb chops - Awful taste. Lamb curry super oily, spongy and super bony. Fried fish fingers - Oily and SALTY. Nuggets were hard. Fries not well done and tasted like boiled potatoes. Butter chicken was watery and bland. Chicken Karahi tasted awful and super oily. PLEASE IMPROVE YOUR STANDARDS!!! Photos attached for your reference!

Excellent taste and best service with very affordable menu prices. We tried chicken karahi, Hyderabadi veal acahari and chicken biryani. All taste so delicious ...Never had such amazing and authentic biryani anywhere in GTA before. We will definitely be regularly visiting this place!!! 100% recommended without a bit of hesitation.

Good food am nervouse of meat oil taste in the veggie maybe not strick veggie eating

Got a lamb biryani from Zaiqa for a party and the food was unfortunately undercooked. After bringing it back to them, they said that I would be getting chicken biryani instead. I didn t want any biryani that day because I lost my appetite after having undercooked food and I didn t need any food because the party was over. I went few days later to pick up the food as promised, the store owner accused me saying that the food was good and properly cooked and said that I m misleading to get more food even though I return the undercooked food to them, they claimed that it s cooked and the biryani is supposed to be like that. Terrible customer service and don t recommend.

Don t forget to try their green chutni. It s the most amazing chutni I had in canada. Their tikka is amazing . Biryani isn t that good. Too much oil on it .

Good taste Mehboob

If you are looking for a good Pakistani/indian restaurant this is a great place, the food is spicy and delicious, I have been to quite a few Pakistani/indian restaurants around town but this is one of my regular go to place, the food is not overwhelmingly spicy or greasy, all their food is great and well priced menu. Usually kept clean and service is decent, it is a small place but for the price and its food quality its really great.

From Outside the restaurant looks small but it has huge space inside. Nice food will visit again.

Excellent service and the food tastes amazing! A must try if you are looking to eat Pakistani food

Good food

Tastes good but Ive had better. Tried the Shahi paneer with garlic naan. Price was decent, food was fresh and they didnt cheap out on the paneer.

Waited for 30 minutes for uneatable food The beef bahari was so bad I couldnt do more than two bites. I told the server I didnt like that at all, she didnt say anything! I paid for something so bad that I couldnt eat and not happy about it.

I am their regular customer now. They are keeping up the food quality and value. Well done guys. Keep up the great work.

We just picked Chicken biryani with Goat korma ,beef qabaab, chicken tikka. The food I must say was delicious specially the biryani was flavorful and the qabaab were soft and juicy. All my family members liked the food

Amazing food always fresh...

Great portions and amazing flavour. The restaurant is clean and tidy. Great menu for everyone. Definitely recommend for anyone nearby. Its a hidden gem

Bought chicken biryani and order extra chicken on the side. When I got home the extra peice was missing. I called to inform them and the owner was arguing with me instead of admitting his mistake. Check your order before you leave. They will scam you for $3.00 very petty.

Good food, biryani is always fantastic.

I highly recommend coming here their food is so good I have tried pretty much everything on the menu and every dish has exceeded my expectations

Good food

Ordered indian food at work via Uber eats. We ordered Butter chicken, Karahi, Chicken biryani, Samosas and Naan. The Butter chicken was oily, bland and the yogurt separated from the curry. The Karahi was oily and not appealing. The chicken biryani and samosa was okay. Priced appropriately but I would not recommend.

Worst taste ever. Customer service is 0 and the food is never cooked very well. We had Chapli kabab and the kabab never cooked well.The place is also not clean.Definitely this restaurant will never recommend to anyone.

Chicken tandori ufff Dnt ask..love it

50 (Cad) bucks gives you - 2 Biryanis 4 Kababs 2 Naans 1 Butter Chicken 1 Nehari 4 Sodas and am sure there is something else iam missing in this list. The kebab was a 9 out 10 (beef bihari).

Best biryani
