Zaika Indian Cuisine- Colorado Springs

Samikshya helped me find the lamb biryani and it was great! I had Level 3 of 5 spicy

While taking our daughter to her dance lessons we were tempted by the smell of Indian food. Lo and behold we were pleasantly surprised by this bright and airy restaurant. The servers were friendly and efficient, the food was delightful and so very fast. Even the rice was remarkable. The mango Lassie was also quite delicious. Cannot recommend this place highly enough!

The Chicken Biryani and Lamb Curry I ordered was one of the best Indian food dishes I’ve ever tasted in over the last 18 years…the food was so delicious and flavors were layered with bold tastes that I completely forgot to take photos of the dishes until it was too late The only thing even better that the food was the amazing exemplary service that Sami provided our large party of 7. She also educated us that the dishes are influenced by Northern India region.

Great service with excellent food. I asked for spice level 5 and it was incredible. They have gluten free and vegan options as well. Would highly recommend checking out

4.5 stars. After disappointment at several other Indian restaurants in the southern Colorado area, I was pleasantly surprised by these guys because their food is actually good!! The ambience is bright and happy. If you sit at the booths, the menu is posted on the wall. They told us they had raised the prices about an hour before we showed up. I mean, really? Who increases prices on a random sat afternoon. Any way, we ordered the Kerala curry with chicken, the lamb biryani and two garlic naans. I also ordered a masala chai. The chai was very good but could've done with a little less sugar. The garlic naans we're super delicious and fluffy. We could not stop eating them. The Kerala curry was nice too. I would have liked more chicken pieces. They made it a level 4 as we requested but next time I'm ordering a level 5 as the spicy level was still not spicy enough for me. The lamb biryani was not dum, as the server told us right at the start. It definitely felt more like lamb pulao. It was very very tasty just not a biryani. All in all, good quantity. My friend and I ate to our hearts fill and yet had at least another meal leftover. Pricing was ok except for that rising price part. Will definitely be back here in the future.
