Zayka Indian Cuisine

I usually find it difficult to write negative reviews, but I wanted to share this feedback hoping it helps improvement. The weekday lunch buffet at Zayka felt very limited in both quantity and variety, and the taste did not meet expectations, leaving us feeling something was missing. I hope the management considers improving the taste and options, as we would love to see improvements.

Zayka catered our Shaadi this summer. The food was one of the highlights of the entire celebration. Our guests are still talking about it! We received so many compliments throughout the evening about how incredible everything tasted, and it truly exceeded all of our expectations. Working with Keshav was an absolute pleasure. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand our vision and made us feel confident that every detail would come together exactly as we imagined. He was so thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely cared about creating an amazing experience for us and our guests. When we walked into the reception and saw the food display, we were blown away. It was absolutely beautiful and elevated the entire event. Not only was everything presented flawlessly, but the service throughout the evening was impeccable. The staff was attentive, professional, and kept everything running seamlessly. If you're looking for a catering team that delivers exceptional food, stunning presentation, and outstanding service, I can't recommend them enough. Keshav and his team played such a big role in making our Shaadi unforgettable, and we're so grateful for everything they did. We will be regular customers for sure!

I personally don’t understand why there are 1 and 2 stars on here. My first time here and I loved everything I had for dinner. My favorite was the slow cooked goat curry. The Chai and Moong Dal Halwa was the perfect combo for my sweet tooth. Please Don’t pay any attention to the 1, 2 and 3 star reviews. I’m a foodie and since I moved to the Raleigh area, I’ve been trying a lot of Indian restaurants and I always check the reviews before I go and that’s why it took me a while to come and try this - I live in Brier creek and I’m so glad I ignored all the reviews and gave them a try. I will definitely come back here again. Great food and great service.

My wife and I probably won’t dine in here again, though we may still order takeout. We visited recently and the server that evening came across as very unwelcoming. He wasn’t verbally rude, but his gestures and overall demeanor made us feel uncomfortable. I noticed he interacted similarly with another table as well, so perhaps he was just having a bad day. At one point, while we were still eating and there was food left on the plate, he quietly took the plate away without asking if we were finished. There were also moments where plates were stacked loudly and silverware was placed on tables that hadn’t been cleaned yet. We wanted to order more drinks but we left as soon as possible. The food was fine, but the dining experience itself wasn’t pleasant, which is why we would likely choose takeout instead of dining in next time.

Have been to this place many times and it does not disappoint. It’s one of the best Indian places in this part of the Triangle. The food is always delicious and flavorful. They have a full bar and a drink menu too. The service is friendly. It has a nice atmosphere and can be good for a date night or a celebration. Always a lot of Indian people eating here when we come as well, so I’ll take that as a good sign of the authentic nature and flavors of the dishes they cook. The only downside is every time we come here I eat way too much, it’s just too hard to stop eating as the food is so delicious! They are a bit pricey, but I think it’s definitely worth it.
