The restaurant is one of the restaurants that you eat in and go to another restaurant to eat in. I mean, I was right and I went out and ate at KFC, and then the accountant, when he came to take accounts, wrote us an invoice in his own handwriting, and to whomever I asked for it, he said, “I will give it to you and bring me an invoice for the amount only, without the details at the end.”

Exceptional Service! I had the pleasure of being served by Ruhel during my recent visit, and I must say, it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment we arrived, Ruhel was warm, welcoming, and attentive without ever being intrusive. He knew the menu inside out and offered excellent recommendations based on our preferences. Every request was handled promptly and with a genuine smile. It’s rare to find someone who balances professionalism with such kindness and enthusiasm. Thanks to Ruhel, my meal felt extra special. I would absolutely return—not just for the food, but for the outstanding service. Highly recommended!

We had for starters the mango/avocado chick pea salad and the king prawn shashlik. Both excellent for the eye and taste. For the main the traditional chicken tikka masala and unfortunately I forgot the name of my vegetarian dish😜 (mix between tofu and cheese in medium spicy tomato sauce) complemented by basmati rice and a plain naan. We enjoyed to the fullest. All was excellently presented and serviced by Ruhel who recommended perfectly. Might be on the pricy side but worth it. All in all a very satisfactory dining experience in a cozy restaurant.

This is the first time in my life that I have eaten Indian for €70. We were a table of 4 people, we paid separately and the waiter offered to pay a 5% tip per person. Course results €75 per person or £63. I've eaten better Indian food and a lot cheaper.

I visited last August and I've just found the business card our waiter Maruf handed me on the way out the door. As an American on travel, I may not have the finer palette of the Brits (who tend to eat more of it), but I do love Indian food. We stayed in the nearby Bailey Hotel and so just happened to stumble into this place on a lark - but what a treat! The food was the bomb, as was the service. I had lamb chops and my wife had lamb with spinach. Good naan, raita, etc. and prices were within budget. The dining room was nice. Beautiful in fact, but the service made the difference. I would return.

If you are looking for good food and a peaceful environment depending on the day (we went during a quiet period) Light Of India is worth a visit. The curry delivered. However, the biscoff cheesecake desert which you can see in the picture which is eye-filling tastes exactly the same as the one I get at my local Sainsbury’s. Made me wonder. I have bought an identical desert various time from my local Sainsbury’s. It’s 3x cheaper (excluding the sauce). Honestly they are twins, I couldn’t tell the difference. Anyway, I enjoyed it and the service was very very professional.

Zaika’s setting and decor is fabulous. However, the food seemed slightly above what you would get in Indian restaurants. I wonder whether the chef has changed. The food that we got wasn’t worth the £58.40 per head that it came to. And the service wasn’t that great. Our table didn’t get cleared after we had finished and I had to ask for it to be cleared. And even then, it wasn’t done immaculately. Somethings were taken and somethings not. The waiters didn’t remember/know who ordered what and bought the wrong dish to the wrong person. The waiters were also being instructed by head waiters (it seemed).
