ZYKA was delicious!…read more I was a little nervous trying Indian food in Banff especially when I saw I had to take stairs to get to the restaurant. You're literally transported into a booming restaurant with savory scents and smoking dishes! I was worried because the waiter didn't write anything down but everything came out exactly as we ordered. It was so exciting to see the dosas flying out of the kitchen. I've never tried a dosa before and I'm really glad I waited until coming here. We got a potato dosa which is a crepe shaped bread full of potato and dipping sauces. I would go back for this alone. Then going to all of there tikka!!! The plates came out smoking and all the meat was tender and packed with flavor! The last thing I'll note was the masala dishes!! THE ROG AND JOSH is a must! But if you have a hike tomorrow I would stick with the dosa or tikkas!

Please do not waste time commuting or waiting to eat at this restaurant…read more I did wonder for a minute, is the quality of food worth the chaos, disorganized staff and minimal customer etiquette? I guess not. After having great customer services at every possible cuisine in the town as well at Fairmont Banff, I felt embarrassed that I wasted time trying to give them a second chance. Hope this helps.

I also appreciate being asked what spice level I prefer as I don't like it too hot. The service is good, can be a little slow at times but we actually prefer it as we hate how rushed other restaurants make us feel. Definitely recommend this place for excellent authentic Indian food.

On the first day, we ordered vegetarian- Paneer lababdaar, dal tarka, chili chicken and garlic naan. Today, we ordered garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, chilli chicken and chicken hot and garlic. Both chilli chicken and chicken hot nd garlic were exactly the same dishes but no complaints since you won't find it anywhere! It transported me to my childhood indo-chinese flavors! Chicken tikka masala was amazing with fresh flavors and nothing overly tangy or smelly. It was delicious and garlic naans were the best ever! This place must be on your list!

We ordered lamb korma, tandoori chicken, garlic naan, and cucumber salad…read more The korma gravy was nice; not too heavy. Some of the lamb was a little bit dry, but the ones that weren't were nice and tender. The tandoori chicken came with a cilantro chutney. There were 2 drumsticks, 1 thigh, and 1 breast piece. It came out sizzling hot on a hot stone plate. It had a nice grilled flavor. The garlic naan came with 3 pieces. The cucumber salad came with tomatoes, onions, and lettuce. This was a lot of food for 2 people. I thought the price was fair and I was happy with my meal.

I ordered the tandoori chicken, garlic naan, and kachumber salad…read more The tandoori chicken came out sizzling and the server provided me with a tong to pick up the pipping hot chicken. From the 2 legs, breast, and thigh pieces, the legs tasted the best. I like the green sauce the server brought for the chicken. One order of naan came with 3 pieces. It was soft with some black burned areas. The kachumber salad consisted the cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, and onion pieces. I dipped the pieces in green sauce that came with the tandoori chicken. There were lots of seating indoor and outdoor. The staff came frequently to refill my water. I was very satisfied with my meal. It was very authentic Indian cuisine and I highly recommend it.
