    Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan
    Bailey T.

    We have another India restaurant in town that is our favorite, but we were downtown and decided to pop in to Zayka. The food was really good. We enjoyed the naan bread a lot. It was different than most places. The tikka masala was also a little different than we're used to but it was still really good. We ordered medium spice and I will warn you, it was definitely more spicy than medium. However, we don't eat here often and I'm not as familiar with their spice scale. Service started out great but got slow at the end. Overall good experience though! I have to admit, we will probably default to our other favorite Indian spot but I would come here again if I was in the downtown area.

    Found myself downtown around lunchtime and finally decided it was time to check out Zayka -- and wow, I'm glad I did. From the outside, you'd never guess how spacious it is inside. There's even outdoor seating and a rooftop (pretty sure I spotted that), but with it being 30 degrees out, I kept my Missouri-born self firmly indoors. I was seated right away and handed both the full menu and their daily lunch menu, which comes with two choices: vegan or non-vegan. Plot twist -- even the non-vegan option arrives as a full-on sampler platter with a veggie dish included. My plate came stacked: fluffy basmati rice, rich butter chicken(top middle), tender chicken tandoori (top left), a hearty vegetable curry (top right), three massive slices of fresh naan, and a little dessert to finish things off. All for fifteen bucks. Fifteen! It's easily one of the best lunch deals downtown. Everything was hot, fresh, and packed with flavor -- except the dessert (bottom middle), which was cold(because it's supposed to be, but still super tasty. Zayka absolutely delivers on bold, authentic Indian cuisine at a price point that just feels unfair to everyone else. The buffet must still be an option, but not Thursdays apparently, so I'm already planning my return trip.

    Update food Service ambience outstanding you must try this restaurant Bicycle recycle of Springfield and awesome crew visit everyday

    Lamb korma, garlic naan

    wonderful. If you're in downtown Springfield Missouri, this is a great place to be. I chose them medium hot. It's perfect. Almost no weight, though it was a pretty full restaurant. Nice place outside if you want to go walk around afterwards.

    Tandoori Chicken. I got mine bone in and spicy which was tasty.

    I Finally decided to give this place a try and I'm so glad I did! I ordered the Tandoori Chicken which I requested to be bone in. The chicken was juicy and had a distinct grill taste to it and the sauce in which it was cooked was spectacular and spicy! It came paired with rice and I added an order of garlic Naan bread. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious and the portions are very generous! The Service was fast and friendly and the ambiance was quiet but upscale. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend to anyone who is in the mood for Indian food. Probably the best in the area!

    Well color me happy!

Everything we've tried from the buffet has been fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The selection offers a great variety, making it easy to find something you'll enjoy whether you're new to Indian cuisine or a longtime fan. One of the highlights for us was discovering that the owners are the former owners of Taj Mahal on Republic Road. Having recently moved back to Springfield from Las Vegas, it was refreshing and comforting to see familiar faces again. The buffet truly has something for everyone. Adventurous eaters can explore a variety of traditional Indian dishes, while those with dietary preferences, including vegans, will find plenty of delicious options as well. The welcoming atmosphere and friendly service make the experience even better. We're happy to have India Palace in Springfield and look forward to many more visits. Highly recommended!

Five people were in our group and they seated us quickly. This place isn't necessarily "fancy" but they have a pretty decent seating area with an entertainment area that is private. Good size portions; my wife wasn't a huge fan of her mushroom masala, but I enjoyed the tikka masala "it's always what I order." Others with us enjoyed their lamb curry, and the garlic naan was also nice; think and but not to crisp. We don't drink, but the people with us said the drinks were very reasonable. Also got some gulab jamun for dessert. Tasted great, but I wish they were bigger or there was more than two per serving. Our server could have been a bit kinder and more knowledgeable of the menu, but the owners are great and so is the food. Definitely recommend coming here.

When I called to place an order, the woman who answered the phone did not allow me to finish speaking and hung up on me. I called back to try again and asked about ordering the curry fish. When I asked what type of fish was used, she said she didn't know and placed me on hold for several minutes. When she returned to the phone, she hung up on me again. This level of service was disrespectful and unprofessional. Based on this and past experiences, I can't ignore that it felt like I was being treated differently, and it came across as discriminatory. Because of this, I will no longer support this business with my money. I truly hope the restaurant succeeds, but they must take accountability for how customers are treated. Everyone deserves basic respect.

This is authentic, traditional Indian food with both meat and vegetarian options. I had the paneer channa masala, and it was fantastic. It's made with a mild sauce, but fair warning--mild still has some heat! It's the kind of spice that's warm and flavorful rather than overwhelming. The naan is made fresh, and you can taste the difference. Pro tip: If the spice catches up with you, grab a mango lassi--or my favorite way to finish the meal, the kheer rice pudding. If you love authentic Indian food and aren't afraid of a little spice, this place is absolutely worth the stop. Plus it's inside a travel center so you can fuel up, grad snacks for the road, and take a bathroom break! Need help deciding? The friendly staff will gladly help you with the menu options!
