Best Indian in Dunedin, we have been getting takeaways for years from Zaika and it’s always soo yummy! Never had a problem, only tonight I got home and realised our drinks weren’t in the bag, I phoned and they said we will bring them out to you straight away! I was expecting have to drive back so thought wow what amazing service! You don’t get that from many businesses these days! Soo appreciated! Thank you

We've ordered from here multiple times and never had more than a 15 minute wait for AMAZING Indian - as good as we ever had in London, Chicago, Sydney. We plan to work our way through the menu, everything has been so good! The prices are great and the service is lovely. It's authentic so ask for mild if you don't like it too spicy...

Very good food and a pleasant place to sit and enjoy a meal.

Without a doubt, the food was delicious. However, despite ordering the mild version of curries, it was a little too hot for us. I'd still recommend it if you're looking for some delicious Indian food.

Great genuine service, really enjoyed dining in here atmosphere was delightful from the lighting to the music and most of all the food! had the vege korma and butter chicken (med) so thick and creamy, flavorful and delicious! Definitely would recommend!

Tonight's Rogan Josh we ordered for takeaway was absolutely delicious. Superb flavours and perfectly cooked. Not overly sweet, the lamb was beautifully tender. The portion size was perfect with a good amount of rice. We will definitely return for more.

I ordered Chicken do Pyasa (onion gravy) recently with 2 roti and I absolutely enjoyed it. Great on taste, and happy with the service too. Would surely try again.

Used to come here when the shop was in Roslyn. Quality has not wavered in the seven year gap. Awesome food, thanks for the treat whilst I was home.
Olivia Morris
That was a best indian food I've had in a very long time - loved the smoky meat flavour in the lamb Saag Gosht, and the Peshwari Naan was delicious. Many thanks I will return!
Sarah Diermeier
Really good Indian food! We usually get Chicken Madras and Shahi Paneer, Naan bread and Mango Lassis - always delicious! If I remember correctly, curries are cheaper on Wednesdays.
Scott Newberry
These guys make, far and away, the best Indian food in all of Dunedin. Also their Mango Lasi is incredible. I never go anywhere else :)

Probably the best Indian in town. Great selection and plenty of spice! Solid selection of beer too.

My favourite Indian restaurant in Dunedin! The curries are actually spicy but well balanced, naan bread is perfection and the appetisers are full of flavour! Definitely my go to for Indian

We have eaten a lot of Indian (takeaway, cooked at home and in India itself). The food at Zaika was not good. The mild curry had no spice or flavor, it tasted like tomato soup. The medium curry was so spicy you could barely eat it. The rice was undercooked. When we called to let them know about the rice they were extremely defensive. We cook only basmati rice at home so are very familiar with how it should taste. Normally I would not give a review but I was very disappointed in the lack of Zaika to take feedback in a professional manner. The papadum was good. They have lost a potentially regular customer as we have just moved nearby. <br/>

We love this curry and get it delivered often. Really yummy and always good service. Tandoori, vegetarian dishes and butter chicken are always good.

We got take aways last night from Zaika and it was delicious. <br/>We ordered the Handi Lamb and the Chicken Sabziwala and both were perfect. Lots of meat and yummy sauce.<br/>The onion Bhajis are also yummy but the verge Pakoras would have been better with a lighter crisper batter.<br/>.<br/>We have dined in in the past and have never found the staff to be rude or unfriendly. <br/>Overall we would highly recommend this restaurant

We went to this restaurant last night. The food was lovely but there was not enough of it. The meat in the two dishes was very sparse with lots of sauce. The one waitress was not very friendly and did not explain what was what with the starter. Have been before and it was great but won't be going back.

Went here for dinner tonight, the meal was average nice touch with the candle keeping the food warm would be an awesome touch if the food was decent. the staff were horribly rude felt like we were talking to a wall half the time. Very disappointed won't be returning...
Willow
Came here for takeaways - got a vegetarian dish which was quite nice! The only thing that put me off was the unfriendly nature of the staff. <br/><br/>
Monique Milne
Bad service. Two waitresses were on duty but I waited for ages to get served whilst they were trying to open a bottle of wine. There were only two customers, but they kept us waiting. Then I ordered a mild takeaway curry. But the waitress changed it to medium when she delivered it to the kitchen. We then rang up and complained when the curry was too hot. The manager said the waitress had written over my order to say medium, trying to make it seem like I had changed my order! Samosas were undercooked also. Just ridiculously bad service, won't be returning.

Once was a reasonable place to eat however Quality has sadly dropped recently. Including chicken not cooked through and fatty beef, service also leaves a lot to be desired. They need to address all these points, eating elsewhere until they do.

Just found this place recently and dined in the other night. I really enjoyed the entire dining experience - the food and the service! The staff were attentive and we were brought over poppadoms and water right at the start without having to ask, which was great. Overall our meals were very delicious! The spice level we asked for (hot) was perfect. I got a paneer dish and it was probably the best cooked from any restaurant I've been to in Dunedin (some others are a bit rubbery or chewy, but here it was perfect!). We were offered more rice without having to ask, which was also very nice. I would agree with the other reviewer that the food was not overly oily, especially our naan. Will definitely be going back there again! They also are BYO and have takeaways as well as in-house dining.

Excellent food, prompt service and a great place for families. Only thing they need to work on is advertising. I have been living in Dunedin since 2009 and came to know about this place in September 2013.<br/>Highly recommended for Indian food lovers.
Leeroy
A relatively unknown Indian gem tucked away in Roslyn village. The dishes were all spicy and full of flavour, without being oily like many Indian restaurants can be. Staff were very friendly and attentive and meals arrived promptly. The free poppadoms at the start of the meal are a nice touch. Decor is not exactly fine dining, but easy to overlook with such wonderful food and service. Recommended!
