 | Description 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 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. 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. | |||

My Review
5 out of 10 stars
having arrived 15 minutes before they were officially open we were sat at the bar area and not tended to, where i thought they could have at least offered us a drink, but hey not a big deal..
had a lamb platter and a cheese platter for starters. very well presented and original ideas.....
our mains were tiger prawns and chicken in a watercress curry, saffron naan bread which was a great idea and mango and salt lassis. all very tasty and decorative!
no booze, and our bill was £90, including their 'optional' 12.5% service charge. personally, i think it was over-priced for what it was. on arrival and departure the lady on the front desk was extremely sour faced.
nice and ori
