We were in the neighborhood and happens across Zaika. We love the one in downtown Denver, so we thought we'd give it a shot. Unfortunately we arrived just before their restaurant closed after lunch, but they were super friendly and accommodating even though we were "those" guests. The restaurant was spotless! So clean! And clean bathrooms! We ordered lunch specials which come with standard basmati rice and also two pieces of naan. We started with vegetable samosas that came with mint and tamarind chutney. Saag paneer, chicken and lamb vindaloo, and vegetable korma were hot, delicious, and beautiful entrees. For dessert we ordered gulab jamun (little Indian doughnuts soaked in syrup), and rice pudding. The only notch down for us was the level of spices was quite intense for what we're used to in Indian food. A bit too much. I bit into a whole cardamom pod in the vegetable korma, and it was not pleasant. The iced chai was unsweetened, which was fine, but I would have liked to know that ahead of time. Tough to dissolve sugar into cold liquids. Other than that, we appreciated this place and thought it was worth recommending. read more

The butter naan was fluffy as air and so was the kesar khofta, I have never tasted such a melt-in-the -mouth kofta ever in the US. The veg biryani was great, lots of veges , cooked with long grain basmati, but I should remember to order less spicy next time. We had to mix plain rice to make it edible and the raita was just not enough. The starter we chose was gobi Manchurian and that felt like a small portion compared to other restaurants we have had, but the taste was above others too so wont complain about the portion. Its a great Indian restaurant, with great food and ambiance and Basant was extremely polite and ready to make recommendations, or answer questions. He is very proud of his restaurant and that is for a good reason, he takes great care to maintain quality of the food. Choose appropriate spice and u r set. read more

Chicken tika masala and sag paneer was really good! Fast and friendly. Would recommend.

We order takeout from here quite often. Some of our favorites are: biryani, chicken tikka masala, shrimp tandoori, garlic naan and mango lassi. We used to order via GrubHub, however they have since made take out available only via their website, which is inconvenient in some ways. Overall, it's a great place for some delicious Indian food. read more

Great little Indian spot. Lunch special for $11 is a great deal! Pick a meat, pick a type of curry, comes with soup/salad, rice, and Naan. Naan was delicious and seemed fresh baked rather than just store bought and reheated. I got the chicken vindaloo and it was great. Spice level 3 was just right, but I do like a good kick when eating Indian and Thai food. This place was clean and the service was great! Try it out, the place was a bit empty for lunch on a Tuesday, but it deserves more patrons. read more

Went back again, and this time, they were excellent. Bobby, you guys have definitely fixed the issues and problems that I experienced. Food was great. Appetizers were fantastic. Service was very good, and the endless chai was a nice touch. I'll definitely return. Happy with the second visit! read more

Zaika has excellent Indian food! I came here right when it opened, so I got seated right away. The service is great and the employees are all very kind and welcoming. They have a TON of options to choose from, so I recommend asking your waiter questions about their recommendations as well! I tried the lamb tikka masala, mango kulfi dessert, and a lychee martini. The lamb was tender and cooked perfectly. The naan was very fresh as well. read more

Got an order for pick up last night. Ordered the chicken tikka masala 2/5 spice level, the lamb tikka masala 4/5 spice level and an order of the veggie samosas. Everything was very good. My husband wished his was a little bit spicier but mine was perfect. Didn't take any pics at the time. Do wish the portion of meat was slightly more for the price but everything was very tasty and fresh! read more

Zaika is our all time favorite!!! I could eat there every day. We love the chicken tikka masala, vegetable korma, samosas, chai to name a few. Never disappoints. read more

The food is consistently good at Zaika. We've been eating here since they opened and continue to make it a part of our take out rotation as we support our community restaurants. The ingredients are fresh and this isn't your average Indian restaurant. read more

This is my absolute favorite Indian restaurant. The food has NEVER failed to be amazing. The service is always extremely friendly and prompt. The owner always comes out to ensure your meal is/was to your liking and is extremely welcoming. The ambience is very mellow and chill. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. read more

Zaika Indian Cuisine - Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Curry, Garlic Naan, & Basmati Rice - Indian Near Me - Broomfield, Colorado

Used to be my favorite for the last 3 years we've lived here. However, the last time we ate there, in April of 2023, it was way too spicy. The waitress said that they had changed the chef. read more

This place is amazing. The food is very different from other Indian restaurants. The samosa were on point, the paneer dishes were awesome. The owner brought two glasses of wine for my wife asked her to choose which one she liked best, then left the other. The restaurant is clean, staff is friendly, music not to loud and spices are perfect. Maybe the best Indian food we have ever had!!! read more

Friendly staff, delicious chicken tikka masala and naan! A hidden gem you may not realize is near by in Broomfield. You won't be disappointed! read more

Food was excellent Indian food. The Tikka Masala was outstanding. Service was excellent. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. read more

Great food, attentive service. Absolutely amazing curry. Spice level medium (3 out of 5) is very hot! Spice with cautious lol!

Great food! Exactly what I was craving, just like my grandma, who grew up in Sri Lanka, used to make. Perfect spice level, super tasty. Very nice staff read more

One of our favorite places in Broomfield! If you're new to Indian food, try the Chicken Tikka Masala, with some naan (bread). I've never known anyone who doesn't like/love it. But I really miss the lunch specials. I hope they start doing lunch again after the Covid all-clear (pleeeease). ;) read more

Excellent service!!! Our waiter was so friendly and took the time to explain several things to us when we were asking about allergies and unfamiliar dishes. The food was delicious- my kids loved the suggestions and we ate until we were stuffed. We found this in a whim, passing through the area on Christmas Eve with not much open. I am so happy we did! read more

Highly recommend. Food is delish, staff are lovely. So clean and well taken care of! Will be going back again soon.

Excellent quality Indian food. A little pricy for takeout but definitely worth the price tag. Super speedy preparation as well. Always responsive and accommodating, great customer service. read more

Got take out from here last week. We got Rogan Josh because that is our go to order when we try a new place. So delicious and their cheese naan was awesome! Loved the eco-friendly packaging and the order was still hot when we got it home 30 mins later! Erica read more

What a WONDERFUL take-out experience. We had some samosas, their naan bread (yummy) and a couple of chicken and lamb options that were just wonderful. Great Flavor and incredibly savory. Again, it was done via take-out and we drove 20 mins so it sat for 30 mins before eating it and yet it tasted great. If you are in the mood for Indian Cuisine and know your way around what you are ordering...this is a great place to get some food. Check it out...you won't be disappointed! read more

Always great customer service. Love their food and lunch specials. Highly recommend. Quiet location.

The dish that we order are pretty tasty. The services was good as well. The food we order was lamb Rogan and chicken vindaloo. And as appetizers is Rasila lamb was good. read more

I was very excited to try Zaika. It's always tough to find good indian and I'm always on the hunt for those dishes that can tantalize my taste buds. Upon walking into Zaika, I was very pleased with the interior which was a nice change from some dingy places I've been to in the past. We were greeted and seated promptly. Typically, I start by ordering some basic dishes to test the waters then venture out a bit more. We started with some samosas which were pretty solid. Both the red and green sauces served with them were very tasty. For our meal we ordered the chicken tikka masala which I read was a yelp favorite. We also requested the muttar paneer which was not on the menu but they have notes saying they can swap out veges and whatnot so we went for it. The matar paneer arrived and I could immediately tell that we wouldn't be a fan. Typically, this dish is served more in a gravy type sauce but this version was very soupy and had chopped tomatoes throughout. The flavor was okay but the soupiness of the dish just didn't do it for me. The tikka came and it was vibrant in color and looked like it was going to be awesome. Unfortunately, it just wasn't anything special and I've produced similar quality at home. I don't feel like they marinated the chicken long enough as it was lacking flavor. We did have their naan which was by far the best part of the meal and maybe the best looking nann I'd ever seen. My girlfriend doesn't like spicy so we did go with a mild style which shouldn't really impact the deepness in flavor that you look for in good Indian food. I did get a side of their hot sauce which was excellent and had good flavorz. While I'm disappointed, I'm going to give them another shot one of these days. Next time I'll go with medium spicy to see if that gets the food into that deep flavor zone. The folks who worked there were very friendly and accommodating. read more

Fantastic! My family arrived in town off a plane. We went straight to our location where we were staying and ordered food to go. We ordered crab curry which was excellent with the spices and flavor they used! We also had salmon. We were a little hesitant in ordering this to go but again the flavor was on point. My only thing I could say about this was I wanted it. Little more rare, but my wife loved the temp it was cooked. (Flakey) Tika Masala was the other main dish we order. That was so cool it was the first thing we finished. We did order samosas and garlic naan bread. Of course those didn't last. Thank you for a great meal. We'd order again when we come back in town. read more

Great place to dine in, or take out. I usually order take out because it gets quite busy inside the restaurant. They have great Indian dishes at a decent price and excellent customer service. I usually like the way the have a spice scale of 1-5 for the heat. Since everything I order is usually medium like 3-4 depending on the dish or entree. I enjoy the saag, the simosa, tandoori chicken, actually so far everything I've tried there is quite delicious. I also enjoyed their Naan bread, especially their garlic naan. Plus, the location on Nickel street is a couple of miles from home, really nice and convenient for me. If you pickup or takeout from here, please check your order guys. The last time there was a mistake and some food missing from my order. To their defense, since they have excellent customer service they quickly remedied the situation and was very accommodating and apologetic. It was quite busy in the restaurant that night. read more

Stopped in today for lunch. We were a bit surprised the lunch buffet was gone. Replaced instead with an odd lunch menu. Not really much choice for sides or entrees... but being short on time we ended up staying anyway and ordering 3 lunch dishes and 1 appetizer to come up with what we considered lunch. The side salad offered with the lunch is a joke. A saucer with 2 half slices of tomato, a slice of cucumber and a carrot circle on A piece of lettuce with a shot glass of dressing...I shit you not. So absurd I laughed out loud. Then comes a plate with 2 large pieces of nan, a cup of rice and a small bowl of your meat/sauce selection. I chose Lamb Korma. And while the korma sauce was delicious the minimum pieces of lamb were very gristly. Since we do not eat bread or rice and we had to order a 3rd meal just to get some saag paneer and I am sad to say I think we will pass on the place in the future. $53 with tip for lunch for 2 and we are still hungry!!! My thoughts for management ... if you have nixed the buffet for good at least consider expanding your lunch menu with some sides, an actual salad and more meat selections. I have enjoyed your food in the past but I would at least like the option of ordering what I would like. read more

Four of us came here for dinner laSt night. It was a Saturday night around 6:30 and the place was literally empty. We ordered two appetizers. One was a potato/onion fried chickpea coated dish. It was tiny pieces fried. That was ok. Probably the best of the meal. The other appetizer was some filled meat dish that had an awful taste. We decided to share three entrees. Two chicken and one eggplant. The eggplant was inedible. The two chicken were swimming in sauce and literally had about 6 pieces of chicken chunks in it. There was also a small bowl of white rice that was dry. We also order 2 orders of nann bread that was ok. Two beers topped it off. The bill was 80 without a tip. When we left the place was still empty. I personally felt sick from it. We will never go back. I'm not sure how this place has gotten these reviews but I know for sure I cannot count on them. This was just awful! read more

Great service and food. We showed up late once and they didn't turn us away. They are awesome.

Delicious! Very good service. Surprisingly quick too. I really like ordering from this restaurant. My family loves this food as well.
