"My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Zaikaa Indian Restaurant last night. On arrival we were warmly greeted by a charming waiter who looked after us all evening and explained the different dishes on their extensive menu. I chose the Bangalore Chicken Curry while my sister ordered the Tandoori King Prawn Curry. Both our meals were delicious. In fact, we agreed that in all our years of eating in many Indian restaurants around the UK, the food was the best we had ever experienced. Everything was first class, from the service, ambience and above all, the superb food. This restaurant would not be out of place in London’s West End, with its white table cloths and attention to detail in every aspect. Situated above a parade of shops in Epping High Street, the Zaikaa deserves the highest recommendation."

The restaurant itself need re-furbishment urgently. It stinks and not very good to have a special food.

Our first visit for eat out to help out. Attentive staff providing and excellent service and the food was probably the best Indian cuisine we have eaten, as we are local will also have to try their take away service.

My wife and I visited early evening on a return from London, we couldn’t see chicken chat on the menu and we asked if it were possible to make it for us, not Bly did they happily make it, but as the attached photo shows, the presentation was Michelin Star worthy. The rest of our food was very good and will return. Impressed with their service and polite attention to customers.

Staying nearby for work and really fancied a curry. I was so pleased to stumble upon this place as I walked up the high street. The service was fantastic, both staff very attentive. I ordered dishes that weren’t on the menu, but making these up for me wasn’t an issue at all. The food arrived and it was exactly what I wanted. The flavours were unbelievable. I highly recommend this establishment. View menu

Only had a takeaway, but will be back to eat in.. Good portion size. Chicken and Lamb was cooked well. Kids enjoyed their Chicken tikka. Chicken Pathia could have been hotter (spice), it’s usually ‘one up’ from a madras . Nothing was oily . Very friendly staff. Another review mentioned refurbishment? Maybe it’s been done , I thought it was really nice in there, and certainly didn’t smell . I sat there with a beer whilst I waited for my order, seemed to have decent wine on list too, which isn’t always case with Indian restaurants. Having recently moved to Epping , glad to find a new local “go to” curry house

Congratulations Zaikaa, you served my friend and I the finest Lamb that we have ever eaten in any Indian before, anywhere in the country! So tender, so fresh and great portions! I highly recommend the lamb or chicken Lababdar, a rich tasting North Indian dish served with pilau rice, however, here comes the rollocking... the dish became quite watery after adding the pilau rice which less than impressed my good friend. He is also an expert in curry. The place was very clean and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, they even charged my ecig for me. This is one of the places that I wish was my local...I'd be eating from here most nights. Mr Curry.
