    Ok so the food is great. We had the chicken 65, fried cauliflower and butter chicken with naan and they all were super delicious. The prices are very fair, but just make sure to order plenty of naan or rice. The big issue I had was there was a piece of metal in my chicken. Thankfully I didn’t bite down on it full force so I didn’t break my tooth but it was still pretty painful. I’ve attached pictures. Please check your equipment or wherever this may have come from so that it doesn’t end up in anyone else’s food.

    Food was good (7.5/10). We ordered Biryani, Kadhai, and Boti. Kadhai was spicy and different from the traditional Pakistani taste. Biryani was okay. Their Chicken Boti was incredible, very well marinated and full of flavor. Highlight of the night was their fresh tandoori Naan!

    Zyka is by far the best Indian restaurant in case of authentic Indian non veg dishes. The taste is mouth watering and hence it’s worth the wait in the queue and if you don’t wanna wait and dine in there you should get take away. But I would recommend to have this meal warm there as naan is really soft and hot. Vegetarians would not get many dishes there and it’s taste is average. Mind you it’s busy all days in the week especially during dinner til 10. Chicken kabob is super delicious. Ambience is just normal nothing beautiful about it and I would suggest them to redesign as they got a big good area. Restrooms were not that clean as expected. Staff is good and super fast and busy all day.Keep up the good work and maintain this authentic Indian taste always.

    The atmosphere is not the reason to rate here. As far as a place to sit comfortably alone or with your family you will find that it is on par with your traditional chains. The service is concise and I've never experienced a mix-up with my food in over 10 years of coming here. For these reasons I can't rate the atmosphere or service as top tier. Now let's talk food! The consistency in flavor and authenticity are unmatched anywhere in Atlanta or surrounding states - and I've been. I can site several other place that sell Indian cuisine that have truly nailed one or two items on the menu. But when you can deliver everything on your menu with memorable flavor profiles that are consistent for a decade or more you will always be a cornerstone. Thank you for continued greatness!

    The place is really busy . We tired haleem. Tasted fine. We also tried chicken boti , it was tender and good. The chicken biryani rice was little harder couldn’t enjoy much. Tandoori naan is the absolute best here. The paneer makhani doesn’t taste good at all. It does taste like tomato soup mixed with paneer . Kadai chicken was mediocre. Over all a very overrated place. Was very much disappointed as family recommended it for the boti,haleem and chicken 65. Didn’t feel like eating dessert further. Just an okay eatery. I am From Hyderabad and this place is Not my palatte.

    I made an order for the first time delivery thru chow now. I ordered butter chicken, I eat it all the time in another Indian restaurant. It arrived.. almost $11.00 and it’s in a small cup, no rice.. NOTHING. Are you serious??? Then it’s so hot I could not even stand a second bite… butter chicken is not normally spicy, this was tremendously hot. I could not eat it…. I’ll never order or eat there again…

    The food was incredible! First time having authentic Indian Food. We had a dish that had goat, dishes with chicken cooked differently like the Tika Masala, Chicken 65 and a vegan option that had a fried outer shell. I am glad my dishes had the mild spices, others in my party had the more spicy fare. I truly understand why they serve lots of ice water. We had Buttered Naan and the rice dish which for people with sensitive to spicy pallets could enjoy that by itself. Next time I go there they some other dishes I want to try. I gave them 5 stars. The only thing I did not like was receiving my food on paper plates. The staff was helpful to me as a newcomer.

    Great food for the price!! Got dal, butter chicken, and malai kofta with naan and raita for $36. The butter chicken does not come with rice on the side - you have to order it!! Decent sized menu, I will definitely go back to try more dishes.

    It's a great place to enjoy Indian/Pakistani cuisine. Their beef nihari, chilli chicken, butter chicken,biryani, and malai kofta are delicious and taste amazing. This restaurant is famous for its chili chicken and chicken 65.

    Made our day with a much-needed break. Dine-in @9.45pm nearly closing time, but they still served with love/patience 😇. We ordered Chicken 65 (7/10) Goat Haleem (9/10) Goat Biryani (9/10) Chicken Kabob (8/10) Mango Kulfi (10/10) Taste is too good. We all loved iT.. Thank you.

    We have lost count of the times we have visited this restaurant.  This is our go to restaurant when we are craving for Indian/Pakistani non-veg food.  There was a time when we drove every weekend to this restaurant to satiate our cravings. The restaurant is self-serve. Owing to the popularity of the restaurant, the restaurant is always full. The wait for the food is not long as the kitchen works efficiently. The Chicken 65 is a must-try popular dish. Bihari Kabab is our new favorite, which is perfectly spiced and succulent. The naan is freshly made. We have tried achari chicken here which we totally recommend.  we have had both chicken and mutton biryani and they are flavorful and delicious. We have tried rabri and kulfi here but they taste more like milk powder, so we would not recommend them unless you really want something sweet with your food. We definitely recommend this place if you want to have indian/pakistani food. You will surely become a fan.

    The restaurant is said to be one of the best restaurants In Atlanta. We tried Goat paya, naan, gobi manchurian, mutton biryani, and chicken biryani. Liked all except the mutton biryani. The restaurant can do a little bit of cleaning, it stinks and doesn't feel welcoming. The service is good and quick. Prices are affordable, just that the dishes have less quantity.

    Excellent restaurant! Nihari was on point, I wish the naans were a bit more thick and buttery. Also the restaurant has no indoor seating which is sad because all the other restaurants have opened up. They can simply require vaccine cards if they have to be cautious!

    My love affair with zyka and chicken 65 is over 20 years. Nothing has really changed with the eatery or the menu, which is reassuring. The chicken still has a bite to it, but the red colouring seemed excessive. We also got raota, chole, saffron rice, naans and they were ok This is a no frills self service restaurant, so really can't give the space much credit, though it is neat and tidy Go here for some authentic northern peovince street food, at great value for money.

    The food was great! They are only doing carry out right now. I requested pick up at 630 when I placed the order online and it was ready at 650, so be prepared to wait a little while. The chicken 65 was great along with the other dishes as well. We ordered the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, the samosas, chicken 65, mutton biryani, and naan. We will definitely go back to try more dishes dishes!

    Nice Indian cuisine with lots of protein and vegetarian options. Dinner options are well described. We had Kadhai chicken dishes, chicken 65, and Chicseekh kabob. With naan, mango lassi and a couple of soft drinks. Dining room is large and open. I wish we ate off China instead of paper plates and plastic cutlery. Service was friendly, but pretty limited. There is no table service. You ordered, picked up your food at the counter and cleared you own table.

  • 4/5 Lucia S. 8 months ago on Google
    I ordered the Nehari and while the food was good with some bold flavors and well-balanced spice levels, the main dish was on the small side compared to the generous portions of rice and naan. However, I did notice that some dishes were a bit oily, which might be customary for the particular region or state of India the cuisine originates from. The service was commendable, adding to the overall positive dining experience.

  • 4/5 Yulanda H. 4 months ago on Google
    really cool family style indian restaurant when you want a quick bite! Chicken 65 didn't fail us. really really good fried chicken with some heat. Naan was okay. Tabla has better naan. Chai tasted like milktea!! Curry was good I would give a 7.5 would def come again for others stuff

    Came to ATL for the weekend from NYC. GREAT authentic desi food at Zaika! The chicken biryani is amazing! Definitely give it a try. Overall clean and nice self serve restaurant. Good for families and kids.

    We come here occasionally because the food is delicious and clean. we noticed a large cockroach on the ladies restroom. We reported it to the girl at the counter. There is a musty smell in the dining room, as if from Water damage. The dining room carpet must be replaced.

    Should have seen the review 5 days ago. I mean Indian restaurants do give Rice on the side. There is no way you can charge more than $10 for these dishes and the quantity. Never again. Lesson learned. Read the reviews.

  • 5/5 Shivam P. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was awesome specially their Indian dessert gulfi. They had 4 flavors. I tried pistachio and malai. Must recommended item. Fried chicken balls and cholee Chana ( chick pea curry) was also good. Their naam (Indian bread) was soft and delicious. Ambiance was awesome. The restaurant was jam packed coz of weekend. So far one of the best food in Atlanta which i experienced. It’s very efficient with price point of view.

  • 5/5 Nagarjuna 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place for the authentic biriyani. I love tandoori chicken when we were doing masters we drive 2 hrs to get the tandoori, that is the love I have for tandoori here. It is so fresh, tender and juicy. The biriyani is also mild and tasty.

  • 5/5 Lamik 4. 1 year ago on Google
    Flavorful, tangy, spicy. You forgot my rice with my nehari? Or did I have to actually order rice? 🤔 Anyhow, it was all very good and made me sweat. I'll be back

  • 5/5 Tamilvel M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good restaurant with affordable price... All menus are nice to try... I have tried biriyani it was so good, one of the best in Decatur.... Kahleem was good and quantity was less... Good place for team out and family get together and parties.. Now they expanded to accept dine in also...

  • 4/5 Manaswi K. 1 year ago on Google
    Ambience: Clean and well maintained. Was spacious and above average in decor. Food: Quite authentic Indian food, not too spicy but flavorful. Loved the chicken curry and aloo channa chaat. We all had the buffet, went in for multiple servings. Oranges were amazing! Fruit custard was so so. Gulab jamun was average. All in all totally worth it for the price!

  • 5/5 Dee R. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered Gobi Manchurian and vegetable samosa. Gobi was savoring n tasty with the tempered spices of garlic, chilly nd cilantro that just keeps you wanting to eat more. The samosa was delible though I prefer a different stuff shape. Definitely was pleasing.

  • 3/5 Mimi S. 2 years ago on Google
    Super COVID friendly takeout. Order online and food is ready on time, by name, when I ordered right at open hour. Standard options: chicken, channa and bhindi masala with naan. Spicy and a little oily. Just remember to ask for utensils with your takeout!

  • 3/5 Shashank A. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was good but it was a take out and we felt quantity was less. I do understand that the prices are kept low but since this was the first time for us from this place, we were surprised to see such small take out containers. Also, the choices are limited. Naan was not impressive at all. I will try to go to a different place.

  • 5/5 Madhumitha R. 2 years ago on Google
    This is one of my favorite places for Indian food. The spice level is good. The value for food is amazing and their service is great. Definitely try their chicken 65 and Rabdi. Their biryani is good too. Their takeout is very thoughtful as they include cardboard boxes to makes the liquid boxes stand stationary. And they use recycling paper boxes instead of plastic.
