Zaika Indian Cuisine - Des Plaines

Went there Wednesday night with a friend after a horrible experience from the restaurant next door. This place is small but it’s definitely a hidden gem. Ran by family but the service and food quality is TOP quality. Never got treated better. Even as soon as the cook saw my water was almost done i was drinking, he personally came out and gave me another one. def my go to place now! Very nice people!!

I love this place. The butter chicken is always so tender and flavorful. My fiancé always gets the Lam Rogan Josh and he says it’s delicious. Cheese Naan is amazing. Definitely our go to spot!

The Tika Masala was really watery and barely had any chicken. I'm guessing they don't wear hair nets because there was a long, thick black hair in one of the orders. The rice and Naan were pretty good. Probably wouldn't ever come back here. Himalayan Restaurant in Niles is about the same price and way better quality.

This place definitely deserves more hype! The space itself is nothing to write home about but the food is top tier. I had the chicken dum biriyani and plain naan, and they made it spicy as I requested too! I can’t wait to go back for more and try something new!

Very friendly service great food. The lamb rogan josh, chicken mahkani, lassi and paneer naan is exceptional. I do wish the lassi came in a bigger size because it’s very good!! This place is my go-to in the area and I definitely recommend!
