Zaika Restaurant in Kensington, London

Fluid Eating's Review of Zaika Restaurant

Zaika was opened by leading restaurateur Claudio Pulze and Raj Sharma in 1999.

The name Zaika translates quite literally as sophisticated flavours and this is the ethos behind the innovative menu. With an emphasis on refined yet creative Indian cuisine, the menu incorporates both traditional classic favourites and original new dishes that apply eastern flavours with a western twist.

Acclaimed favourites include Indian Home Smoked Salmon, Lamb Rogan Josh and Chocolate Silk, a dish that has been greatly imitated by other establishments across the Capital.

Located at the heart of Kensington in a prominent position opposite Hyde Park, the grand building that Zaika occupies was formerly a bank and has retained many original architectural features including the carved high ceilings and double height windows. The sumptuous interior lends itself to the rich vibrancy of India during the colonial era incorporating a palette of rich colours; ruby, green gold, crimson and purple.

The main restaurant seats 82 and is available for private entertaining by appointment whilst the Bedouin style cocktail bar can host private drinks parties for up to 25 guests.

Since opening its doors Zaika has received a string of industry accolades including Best Indian Restaurant in the London Restaurant Awards, Restaurant of the Year in the Restaurateurs Awards and to date is the only Indian restaurant to hold three prestigious AA rosettes.

Zaika opening times:
Tuesday – Sunday Lunch: midday until 2.45pm
Monday - Sunday Dinner: 6pm until 10.45pm (Sunday until 9.45 pm)
