Ambiance: This is a huge restaurant, we went on a Saturday afternoon and still got in at peak lunch hour. The restaurant was packed. Shaun, our waiter was quick on his feet and very patient with the mess my niece caused. He was polite and checking on us frequently to ensure we were enjoying the food. Food: One of the best buffets in the area, their chaat counter was a hit with me and my family. Tandoori chicken was delicious. Naans were made to order and well cooked. Love the paneer curry and chicken curry. Highly recommend this spot. Parking: street parking or public parking lots near by. read more

6/20/2026 Update: Buffet is an easy way to pack for a picnic, or in my case, to feed a hospital patient who had grown weary of bland hospital food. (I got permission from the doctor first!) I was given a box at the hostess stand, and asked if I wanted any rice or breads (for additional costs). Both were wonderful. The buffet was easy to navigate, and it was quickly weighed at the front, and off I went. read more

We had a nice time here for dinner after a day of exploring the falls. It was crowded on a Friday evening with a lot of families. Service was very efficient and they did a good job. Everyone from the seaters to the servers and runners were very professional. I liked trying a little bit of everything. The tandoori chicken was amazing. Incredibly hot and juicy but it ran out too fast a couple times. The bathroom was gender neutral so that was a new experience for me. I wish there were even more options as the buffet for dinner cost $21 per person. And there's so many Indian spots around Niagara Falls I would try another place next time. read more

The place is clean, well maintained and wonderful service, given the crowds! The food is good, among the other places I have tried around this is the BEST value for money you can get, it's a tourist town and these guys are doing a great job! Will return if I ever go back to Niagara Falls read more

This was my first Indian Cuisine Buffet and it did not disappoint. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The inside of the restaurant was very clean. We had the lunch buffet and there were so many options. My favorite dishes were the Tandoori Wings, vegetable Samosas, Cashew Chicken, curry chicken and the butter naan. Each dish was full of flavor and spice! I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

As a tourist staying nearby we took a chance and this large place was packed and the food and buffet were excellent - especially enjoyed the tandoori chicken read more

Five stars for the food! Haven't had such good Kadi-pakoda in many many yrs. The food taste took me back to Delhi where I grew up. The owners can improve the interiors a bit and make the place more pleasing. The one thing that took me by surprise was the 10% gratuity auto applied to our bill for a buffet lunch. Not sure who that gratuity is going towards. read more

The very best!!! Friendly staff. Busy on tourist days but busy is well deserved because it's so good read more

Longer wait time even if you go in off-peak hours. Expect at least 45-50 mins and can go even 2+hours read more

Food was delicious I liked everything the6 had for the buffet. I would recommend this to everyone.

The food was terrific, the staff was super friendly, the seating was wide open, and the room was clean. Not having been to the restaurant before, my son and I didn't realize they were trying to close up, and the staff told us to take our time and that we had any food we wanted before it was put away for the night. read more

In direct contrast of the thundering falls and roaring rapids, it was a really quiet Monday for such a popular tourist spot and most restaurants were either closed or boasting empty seats. I had not really looked around at dining options before getting here so a quick search immediately recommended Zaika's lunch buffet. A short walk later revealed a completely different scene in their dining room compared to all the other places I've walked past throughout the day. It was a bustling dining hall filled with the scent of aromatic food and the sound of laughter and conversations. I guess this was a good choice OR they had paid enough to be the first recommended spot to anyone searching for a good bite in the area. I was seated promptly and started my rounds around the straightforward buffet spread filled with various popular sides from Chana and Aloo to salads and various biryanis, curries, and tandoori chicken. I took just a little of everything to try and was pleasantly surprised of both the flavor and freshness. As there was a good number of diners present, refills kept coming out from the kitchen and the tandoori chicken was the juiciest I've had so far on this side of the coast. My only issue with this place is the number of people returning to the buffet line with their used plates (some of whom were also eating with their hands as customary to some cultures)...and *none* of the staff (if they actually noticed) stopped any of these individuals throughout the hour I dined here. I hope that this is dealt with soon as it *is* a health code violation. read more

Visited today and honestly didn't see what the hype was about. The wait time was extremely long, and the food didn't justify it. The buffet menu is quite limited for the price, taste felt underwhelming, and nothing really stood out in terms of flavor or presentation. Overall, it felt overpriced and overhyped. There are definitely better places offering better food, variety, and value for money. read more

Some of the best tandoori chicken I've had. Very moist and the spice blend was amazing.

Tried the samosa chaat, it was a generous portion size. Excellent and well prepared. Great food, very friendly, reasonably price. Very clean location. read more

It is a good restaurant with Indian cuisine. Buffet lunch and dinner are available. It gets crowded so be ready for some wait but the food is worth waiting for. We reached around 6pm for dinner and were seated in 5mins. Great options for vegetarians. It's walking distance from Niagara Falls. I visited this place back in 2017 and 7 years later they have still maintained their quality and cleanliness. Hotel policy is,if you waste food in your plate, you will be fined. Such a great policy I hope they never change it. Zaika sure is a must visit restaurant! read more

This place has great food with a variety of options at an affordable price. Be vary of the wait times, but totally worth it!

Stopped in for an early dinner (about 5:30 pm) on a weekday late in September. We had not been to an Indian buffet for some time. We had heard about this place from a friend so decided to to give it a try. We live in Amherst NY so it is about a 30 minute drive. The bufet had a nice selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. I think more non-vegetarian dishes than Indian restaurants in Amherst. I think this is because this restaurant has more of a tourist clientele. All the dishes were nicely flavored but not too spicy. This restaurant is seasonal so it does close down in the winter months when the tourist numbers drop. The ambience is pleasant and the service staff was attentive. We enjoyed the buffet and will be back. read more

This is a great place if you are looking for a place that is more authentic and less Americanized. They have a nice selection of food to order and fresh hot naan is included. The service staff is friendly. read more

Buffet. Indian food lends itself to buffet. Lots to choose from. Food is spiced for a mild Indian taste. Some very spicy vegetarian dishes that caused a sweat. But very good. Worth the extra napkins. Desserts shouldn't be missed. Peri puri was a treat to find. Very enjoyable. Service was very attentive. Ambiance is along the lines of an Indian family gathering. Kids. Grandparents. Date night. You'll see everyone you could expect at a respectful family dinner for 60. Mingle, get to know the people in line. It's a friendly crowd. read more

Great place to go if your vegetarian & visiting Niagara Falls. So many options in the buffet to choose from. My family loved everything. The meat dishes were halal. The service was great! Staff was very quick & efficient. Space was kept very clean. Felt like the staff was wiping up crumbs as they were falling. The buffet area was a little squished I feel like they did that to make more space for people at the tables since they get a lot of people coming in. If your visiting the falls in the America side i would save this place since it is just a few minutes away from the falls. read more

Delicious Indian Food in a buffet setting. Service was top notch. Options were mixed veg and non veg along with a couple of tasty desserts. Prices were quite reasonable for such a touristy area. Give it a shot. read more

One of the best Indian buffets in Western New York. The place is seasonal though, so be forewarned. On a weeknight in middle of June this place was overflowing with customers. Appetizers included samosas, pakora, a variety of chutneys; white basmati rice, chicken or vegetable biryanis, meats: goat curry, chicken tandoori, fish fry; veg: dal makhani, aloo saag, palak paneer, aloo gobhi, aloo mutter, naveatan korma and many more. Choice of deserts. Also highly recommend the chai masala and mango lassi. read more

It was a dream buffet of deliciosity! They served all the best stuff, hot, fresh, unlimited. The samosas! Go!

Let me start off by saying that I am of Indian descent. Even though there are a lot of Indian restaurants in WNY, they aren't of the quality we usually get in Canada. For this reason, we tend to drive to Canada, which isn't always convenient. Even though we had heard about Zaika in NF, I didn't think they would be worth the drive to NF. This weekend though, we were looking forward to a drive, and decided to take the risk. I'm glad we put in the effort, for the food was delicious. Upon entering, they first ask you to take some time reading their list of rules. Even though this might seem odd, it is highly practical. They up front ask you to not waste food, that one will be charged if they waste over 0.5 lbs of food, that there will be a service charge for parties of 5 or more, etc. They also ask you to take a new plate every time, use gloves, etc. They also have a large variety of food, more than we have seen at other Indian buffets in Buffalo. The price is reasonable, especially considering the pricier items on the menu and also the variety. All the dishes were also very well made. There is a buffet we used to visit in the past where, even though the price was reasonable, I always found one dish or more which was at the quality I used to cook at when I was in college, and I was surprised to see it served. I couldn't find that issue at this place through. The chicken tandoori was perfectly moist on the inside, flavorful, and crisp on the outside. They also had tandoori fish, which was well made. The dal makhni was good, the aalo bhaji, chicken curry, goat curry, and everything else. I wish I had a larger stomach for I wish I could eat some more. I was stuffed. For dessert, the offerings included kheer (basmati rice cooked in milk with sugar and cardamon), and gulab jamun (a childhood favorite). You could also order additional items on the menu, for which we got mango lassi. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs though, for it was a challenge to finish it. Again, we aren't competitive eaters. Either way, I would rate this as the best Indian restaurant I have found in WNY, to date. They are also reasonably priced at $20.99/person for dinner. This place is also pretty big, and with a surprisingly large bathroom. read more

Such delicious Indian food at such low prices. Must visit if you are in mood for Indian food in the Niagara Falls

Excellent lunch buffet. Not too spicy and definitely delicious. Nice clean place. Attentive server.

OH MY GOSH! Food, taste, service, Price..... EXCELLENT. We were craving Indian buffet. Googled restaurants and this popped up. Saw a great review so we decide to try. So glad we did. YOU MUST GO!!! MJ. California read more

We loved it. Start with the free parking in the lot behind the restaurant, a hard thing to find in Niagara Falls. Then the service was awesome too. It is buffet, the usual Indian fare. Hot lamb dish was great. Chicken Tikka masala was also divine, spinach tofu, etc. Ambiance is also nice for dinner (unlike some buffets). read more

While visiting Niagara Falls, we decided to try this Indian restaurant. They have several tables outside, which made it great since it was a nice summer evening. The service was quick and the staff was friendly. For our apps, we got the Nana bread and Samosa, which hit the spot as we wanted for our entrees. I got the Biryani--they accommodated my spice level--and my wife got the Lamb Curry, the portions were large and both were delicious!! Would definitely return on future visits to the Falls. read more

This is my husband's and I go-to place for Indian food. Almost everything I have tried has been AMAZING. If I haven't liked it, it's not becuase it wasn't good it's just because I'm picky sometimes. The Paneer Makhani is my absolute favorite. The Butter chicken and paneer tika masala is also fantastic. My husband and I always leave uncomfortably full, simply because the food is so good that you just want to continue eating. The employees are super nice, themselves always take a few minutes to chat with us. The resteraunt itself is clean, spacious and although there are crowds during tourist season people still have room to relax and enjoy thier meal. read more

We went out around 4pm - They still have most items in the buffet and Naan/Rotis were served fresh to the table, overall worth it!

Good food, choice of Jain food . They have buffet but they will give a choice of Jain paneer sabzi ,bhindi or daal. But good service and nice place to sit and eat dinner. read more

This is one of the most authentic Indian buffet restaurants I have ever been to. We were visiting Niagara Falls and pretty tired from the day, so we decided to find a well rated place nearby. We are so happy that this was the spot we chose. There were a few big parties in front of us (we arrived around 8 pm), so we were worried we weren't going to make the 10 pm fireworks over Niagara. Fortunately, just a mere 10 or so minutes of waiting later, they offered us a spot at the bar, so we were seated pretty quickly. They have a policy that any amount of food left over weighing over 1/2 pound is charged at their per pound price, and you can take the food home. I really appreciated them for being so conscious of food waste! There were so many options that it was impossible to choose from! We tried a little scoop of everything, and it was spectacular. The samosas were a tad bit on the spicy side, but extremely flavorful. My favorite was the goat curry. It had a strong goat taste with a spice filled curry. We also ordered a mango lassi (additional charge), and it did not disappoint. Overall this place excelled in food and quality of service. If I am ever in the area again, I would love to go again! read more

I have been here twice - once in 2018 and once in 2022. Both buffets around 6 pm. And the dishes are almost similar if not same. Nothing changed and that's fine. They tasted good. Slightly on the blander side. However, the issue starts after you leave the restaurant. They probably use a lot of baking soda in their dishes to portion control how much we eat in the buffet resulting in you feeling very gassy and sick for the rest of the day and the next day. Both me and my wife felt the same after eating here. The buffet is $19. Chicken and paneer curries - 4/5 Dal and Kadi pakora - 2/5 Chicken biryani - 3.5/5 Veg biryani - 1.5/5 tasted like someone accidentally dropped a whole lot of turmeric powder in it. Fruit custard and gulab jamun - 4/5 Chaats - 3.5/5 Tandoori chicken - 2/5 very dry. Service - 5/5 very friendly staff. read more
