About
This remarkable Indian eaterie offers a very different style of cooking from the subcontinent - the word 'zaika' means 'sophisticated flavours' which gives you an idea of the genius of the place. Set in a former bank by Kensington Gardens,the soaring ceilings and spacious layout boast a chic sophistication to match the flavours of the menu. Don't be put off - the ambience is more relaxed than formal. What's cooking? Inspirations on an Indian theme. Starters include a fantastic seafood platter, and spice-infused tandooripartridge breast and partridge shammi kebab with beetroot chutney, main courses of pan-roasted freshwater prawns and seared blue-fin tuna with white crabmeat risotto and spring onion and herb sauce, and a more-ish grilled chicken breast marinated in mustard with aubergine mash and asparagus tikki,and puds like chocolate samosas with chenna and roasted almonds, or the amazing pineapple marinated in fennel and saffron then cooked in the tandoori. A mould-breaking restaurant.
Please note all tables are for 2 hour sittings only, and that this restaurant does not have a designated non-smoking section, so they cannot guarantee a non-smoking table reservation, though they will make a note of any requests.
