Zaika in Stroud

I visited Zaika on a Wednesday evening with a group of friends. The food was lovely and the staff were all friendly and welcoming. At the end of the evening we received the bill with a £9 service charge, which when splitting the bill this was rounded UP!! Also we asked for water which cost us £3.50, you have to specify tap water!. Drinks were also highly priced 4.95 for a coke. We had a lovely meal, but will look elsewhere next time

clean restaurant, friendly staff, big portion size well presented and efficient service;good choice of food available

Enjoyable atmosphere and food would highly recommend! Both service and servers were above par. Thank you for the great night

Delicious food, hubby said best curry he'd ever had. Lovely atmosphere and attentive staff. We had to wait a while for food but it was worth it.

This is just our favourite restaurant for the most delicious Indian food. We are so lucky to have this on our door step . The staff just can’t do enough to accommodate you. We are always so welcomed & big shout out to Rudy for being such an attentive waiter. Highly recommend!

We went to the restaurant for our anniversary. Ordered our food and a couple of poppadums and waited and waited and waited for our food. After 50 minutes we decided to leave. Whilst we were waiting another couple who ordered just before he had their food and had almost finished and plenty of takeaways came out of the kitchen. We felt that we were ignored and considered less important than the takeaway business. To cap it all a member of the staff asked us after 50 minutes if we were ready for our food now, almost implying that we were the ones who asked for the delay. We will not be returning.

A deterioration in this restaurant is noticeable. Service poor, waiting staff scruffy with little idea of what they are doing. Table not prepared properly and orders not served properly. Food adequate but noticeably not to previous standards. The restaurant was noisy with customers on next table seemingly setting out to become intoxicated, being obnoxious with hostile stares and rude remarks.

Definately the best curries in the area. Friendly, hospitable service with mouth-watering food with a twist.

Have been here a few times, but this was the first time my wife came with me. Absolutely first rate food and excellent value for money. Even managed to cram in a delicious dessert... Weren't kept waiting for the food. Service top notch. Rudy was great!

A very friendly, clean, professional run restaurant. Always a warm welcome. Nice spacing of tables, not crammed next to each other, as you find in similar type restaurants. Great menu choice, with excellent position size as well as food quality. It is a BYO restaurant when it comes to alcohol with no corkage charges.

We’ve been fortunate to have been here twice in the last 2 weeks. Once with friends and last night as a couple. Lovely food. My Naga chicken was really hot and tasty. We all enjoyed our food. The service is excellent. Very polite and nothing too much trouble.

We have been frequent visitors to this restaurant and have lauded it to many. However on our most recent visit we were disappointed to discover that their prices have gone up significantly. Although the food is good, it does not warrant such an increase, we decided to not visit as frequently. The following week we read that it had received a zero rating due to lack of cleanliness. I'd be interested how they recover.

I visited with a friend and I have to say the food was excellent and the service was too! The menu is extensive and to have a duck dish was a welcome surprise. The food was tasty and well presented.

Excellent restaurant best curry since last year when we last visited. We took our own wine and had great service . No rush just how I like it food came piping hot full of delicious spices . There is a wide range of foods on offer good atmosphere . Look forward to the next time , very reasonably priced also.

Absolutely delicious food, beautifully presented, in a pristine, warm and friendly environment. We will definitely be back.

Lots of food choices and what we had was very tasty Very accommodating staff Great atmosphere and furnishings

We have eaten here lots, never once been disappointed. Super food. Super service. Just absolutely as a good restaurant should be. Best Indian and Bangladeshi food I have ever eaten. Consistently.

We visited as a family of 6 on what we thought would be a quiet Sunday, but no there was lots of customers coming and going and we can see why! The food was AMAZING! there was not 1 meal on our table that we wouldn’t recommend. This was mainly due to our server taking time to understand what we wanted, our likes, and spice level we like. The service was great, love that’s it’s byo and there’s no corkage! We will definitely be going back, couldn’t recommend more highly!

Wish we had discovered this place sooner as we have used Indian restaurants local to Stroud which are ok but nothing special. Discovered Zaika just a couple of miles down the road and it is next level! Friendly service and the food was absolutely delicious with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. All of us agreed this is our new favourite. Looking forward to returning!

A lovely Bengali restaurant. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Delicious food and impeccable service! Great selection of options and good food portions.

Me and my partner visited here on our trip to Stonehouse. We have to say how impressed we were with our whole experience! The staff we extremely friendly and polite. The food was delicious and fresh! The restaurant was clean and tidy. If we ever return to Stonehouse we will come back for sure!

11 of us booked to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Booking online was easy and there was no problem adding to our number at the last minute. We were greeted at the door with friendly smiles and taken to a long table. Lots of room for...

We had a lovely and delicious meal at Zaika! Staff is very nice and sweet, our server was Rudi (not sure if I remember correctly), he made us feel very welcome and was very nice! Portions are very generous so definitely bring an appetite! You...

I have been a devoted curry fan for 50 years and this is the best curry I remember eating. Service was fantastic, thanks Zaid.

Brilliant easy to understand varied menu , staff were very friendly and most helpful. The starter of deep fried potato and cheese balls with a spicy sauce was hot and delicious.The waiter was very good in suggesting what we would like and his choice was...

An impromptu decision after a busy weekend to eat out - not always easy on a Sunday night in Stroud/Stonehouse! We have been meaning to try Zaika for a while but it won’t be long until we return. Zane welcomed us in and spent time...

Yet another lovely evening at Zaika. Always a friendly helpful service, great job guys. Special thanks to the Chef Abu my Salmon surprise was cooked to perfection! I was a bit dubious about ordering Salmon as it can be over cooked and dry but it...

First time visit to Zaika and would highly recommend. The food was really excellent, best Indian meal I've had in years. Nothing was too much trouble and so friendly, my guest was equally impressed and happy. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend. Thank...

First time here, read previous reviews and thought we would give it a try. We can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough, food was EXCELLENT, the vegetarian sharing platter was sublime, and every subsequent dish was just as good. If you have a chance to eat...

Staying overnight in a nearby hotel so came here for dinner. The food was great and served piping hot. Crisp and light poppadoms, flavourful bhajis and curries, and really nice garlic naan. Would recommend the chicken pathia. Hot towels given at the end of the...

Friday evening with family. The restaurant was busy. The severs were very nice. The food took ages to arrive between poppadoms and mains. The food was tasty. Average prices. More than 50% of desert options were unavailable. We were on Table 1 that was pretty...

Zaika is run by people from Birmingham and you get Birmingham quality Indian food, superior to many restaurants we have visited. Very good advice if you're not sure what to choose. Bring your own alcohol, they don't charge corkage and there is a convenience store...

Had an exceptional meal as always, great atmosphere, very friendly staff always willing to help and advise. Zane's remmondations are always spot on and never disappoint. We have takeaways are well as meals in restaurant and are always just as good. Thanks again guys for...

Excellent food good ambience , service was excellent a great night. Would visit again ,Mende offers a good choice . Very authentic .

We are usually served by Zayne (I think, hopefully I have spelt that right) and he’s very friendly and always remembers us, the customer service is incredible. The food is just delicious always really lovely and fills us up. Thank you, and see you soon.

Very nice atmosphere, the food was really good. The staff was also very polite and helpful. I would definitely go back so highly recommend!

Visited here whilst staying at the Stonehouse Court hotel. We were bowled over by the friendly service from everyone we encountered and the food was gorgeous. Everything was perfect and it was wonderful to be treated in such a friendly manner, nothing too much trouble....

Ok the food was really really tasty and decent portions sizes. Up there with some of my fav Indian meals. But what really stood out was the service - it was next level friendly. Because of this and the great food we just had such...

My daughter and I had a lovely meal, the starters were well presented, hot and delicious. The staff were attentive but not over bearing. . We had a nice break before our mains were served, so many restaurants serve mains too soon. The mains were...

Tidy Indian very friendly and accommodating team. Prepared excellent take away for us pity the wait marred an otherwise fabulous meal/take away but they were extremely busy so we can overlook that trivial issue. The choice of dishes is varied but they still prepared a...

Fantastic evening; food again was outstanding thanks to a great chef Abu ; and the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu ; good choice again thanks to Zain

Ordered a takeaway from Zaika last week and it was very disappointing. Puppadoms tasted stale and the chicken biryani and Goan prawns tasteless. Don't think any spices used in preparation at all. Won't bother again

...about my evening at the Zaika. Gone are the days of flocked wallpaper. This restaurant’s decor is contemporary with plenty of room between the tables to enjoy privacy. ALL the staff are polite, friendly and professional. Although these were two good points; the food is...

We were there on holiday and the restaurant looked inviting from outside and we took our chance. The food was excellent, we had vegetarian dishes which were fresh and delicious. Our waiter Zain suggested some alternatives and they were spot on. All the staff were...

Just had a take away, amazing, fragrant tasty curry, highly recommend, loads of melt in the mouth lamb, with unique flavours, the house specials are just brilliant

After months of visits, I was finally lucky enough to meet the CEO & what a lovely guy he was. The best meal & visit ever!

We had a great dinner here with a group of friends. The food was absolutely delicious and not your standard ‘curry’. Each dish was very tasty in its own way… we ate starters and mains and the portions were generous. The food came in good...

What a fabulous curry house, delicious curry. It was just great so tasty. I am a vegetarian and often I find I get a curry with a load of frozen veg poured in but not here this was perfect. The staff were fabulous very efficient...

Followed trip advisor reviews and can say we all enjoyed our curries. I am a Coeliac and they were very helpful what I could have, lots of gluten free options. Bring your own alcohol (newsagents next door) and the prices were very reasonable. Staff extremely...

This is one of the best Indians I have had in my life! The food is divine, not just generic stuff you get at every Indian. Plus the chefs daughter made an amazing cheesecake for pudding! The service is amazing! Kind, friendly, personal and attentive....

We did not know what to expect as we do not live in the area, but to our joy when it comes to having an Indian meal, this has to be one of the best we have had. The restaurant was full , so that...

The team here, from food to service are first class. Myself and my partner are vegan but visit with meat eaters alike & they never fail to impress us with such personal service. They go out of their way each time we visit to come...

When we got there, the staff were friendly and we were immediately seated. There was a wide variety of soft drinks, and the menu choices were brilliant. Food arrived quickly, and was very fresh. The food was immaculate, and quite possibly the best curry I...

Food is really good, service is excellent and prices are competitive. A lovely, friendly atmosphere and helpful staff. If we ever visit the area again we would definitely eat here again.

First time. As a family of four, first meal out after 3rd lockdown, I must say we had a lovely time here. The staff were super friendly and so attentive. So many different dishes to choose from, you have your usual Indian choices and a...

We ordered yesterday, it was delivered very late - the poppadoms were soggy and broken, food lukewarm, and missing a naan bread. We live round the corner so do not understand why the food was so late, cold with missing items and soggy poppadoms (how...

Due to Covid we have always had takeaways from Zaika. They are consistently really good. We have always requested gluten free and dairy free options but recently I also cannot tolerate garlic. They made me a dish fresh with no garlic and did everything to...

We were very pleasantly surprised. Great value, delicious curries freshly cooked and bursting with flavour. Good portions sizes beautifully presented. The menu isn’t too big and there were dishes we haven’t seen before which we really enjoyed trying. This was the best curry we have...

Thought we'd try this place out as it seems to be recommended highly by a lot of people in the Stroud area, and we were not disappointed. Starters, mains and sides were all very tasty (dhansak could have been a little hotter but this is...

Visited this restaurant after moving close by for the first time tonight, What can I say, the food was something else. We had 3 different dishes between us and all loved what we had. The food was full of flavour, nice sized portions and service...

well for sure not as good as before placed order online for delivery at 6.45pm came 7.30pm cold and very oily not like the last time think that now he has opened to dine in customers not interested in take away should remember the people...

Booked a table online for two people, promised confirmation by email, which never arrived. Obviously not interested in couples so will bear this in mind when looking a table in future. They will not get my custom again, a pity as I was a regular

We have been to Zaika on a number of occasions and can't fault the friendly staff or the fabulous food. The attention to detail is second to none and the staff often recognise you from previous visits and greet you like family. The menu contains...

First-time customer - ordered a meal by phone for home delivery. Food arrived piping hot 45 minutes after ordering. Everything absolutely delicious. Will definitely do it again!

Had a takeaway this evening. Absolutely spot on. Good value, great taste. Definitely going back another day.

second time order from this restaurant and glad we did as they deliver the food was hot tasty fab we were very impressed with it and the bonus order and pay on line choose your time your food arrives

Ordered online and process was straightforward. Delicious food, excellent flavours. Will recommend to friends and family. Thank you Zaika.

Luke warm. Bland. Peshwari nan with barely any coconut. My fiancée had a jalfrezi and it EXACTLY the same as my Bhuna just with some chillies floating around. Both curries tasted like they were out of a jar. I haven’t felt this disappointed and ripped...

orderd on line for the first time from this restaurant wow fantastic all the food we ordered came fresh hot look great and tasted amazing cant thank you guys enought for our deliciouse takeaway last night we will be re ordering soon keep us indian...

Fantastic food, brilliant service and great value for money on their Sunday banquet. I’d highly recommend it.

Absolutely fantastic meal and Zai was brilliant. We loved someone choosing our meal and were really excited to experiment.

AMAZING food. We had a reservation which i would recommend, and were seated immediately. The person asked us about drinks also advising they do not sell alcohol but were free to bring our own. She even let us know the nearby shop was still open...

Excellent meal, I had a chicken balti, polite and considerate waiters. Would certainly go there again.

We ordered a take away from this restaurant for the first time last night, and was promised by the person on the phone that it would be delivered in an hour and 20 mins. After 2 hours had passed we rang them and they said...

This was our first visit to this lovely restaurant last night and it certainly won’t be our last . The food was amazing , friendly staff and an all round lovely atmosphere.

We've been trying to eat in Zaika for several months and finally booked for last Saturday. The restaurant was not taking bookings between 6.30 and 8.15pm so we went for 6pm. The restaurant was not overly stuffed, and they seem to want to manage bookings...

Having seen many good reviews of Zaika, it lived up to my expectations. I only hope that this restaurant can continue at the great standard it has so far set.

I booked this restaurant after reading the positive reviews. Having also read a poor review I dismissed it as probably malicious. How wrong i was for having eaten the blandest curry i have ever eaten in my reasonably long life, i now realise that the...

Best Indian restaurant in Gloucester by far!!! Food was spot on 10/10 cooked to perfection just how I like it. The staff made me feel very welcomed and chef cooked up one of the best currys I’ve had in the area. Very nice atmosphere and...

Having heard several good reviews about Zaika, as Stonehouse residents a group of us had a take out last Friday and were really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, out of the 5 different curries we ordered, only 1 of them actually had any taste. All...

Came on a sunday evening to find the only option was the "as much as you like" deal......well not only was it good value, it was seriously good food to & the staff were friendly....just need to remember to bring your own wine as not...

I love Indian food and have tried lots...but this is definitely one of the best. Great food, service and relaxed surroundings. Also BYO works well. Had a great evening with friends...will go back soon.

We could not fault our visit. We were welcomed and given a choice of tables before being presented with an eclectic menu that was refreshing in its variety and approach. We were all able to have dishes not previously seen. Mutton chops and spicy meatballs...

Just had a superb takeaway. Totally the best in all aspects. The best onion baghi I have had for 20 years then a brilliant bhuna with very tasty mushroom pilau rice. Top notch curry Thank you Zaika 👌👍

Brilliant service and food. Will definitely revisit soon. So good. It was recommended to me and I keep recommending it to others.

Been here a few times especially on a Sunday. Food is so good and staff are very helpful and friendly.

We came for the Sunday Banquet and enjoyed a range of curries. All dishes we had were freshly cooked and all excellent quality. Zain and the whole team were really lovely and welcoming.

I came here when the restaurant first opened and the staff were very welcoming and genuinely nice. You bring your own alcohol as they haven't got a licence to sell which cuts the price a lot! Nice food

Customer service at its best. This is our fourth visit and zains fourth recommendation was absolutely unreal. This is a must visit, modern day Indian restaurant with the best team on hand for an unforgettable experience. Thank you all

Went out with friends on a Sunday for the all you can eat and it was fantastic! Food was made to order so as not to have lots of wastage. The service was excellent and all of the dishes tastes excellent all with very differing...

We have been 6 times now. The food is excellent. I have tried so many dishes and can’t make up my mind which is my favourite.

Family meal and our first time since the change of ownership. All 8 of us agreed the food was exceptional and Zain's recommendation for my main was one of the best Indian meals I have tasted.

My husband and I have visited Zaika today after reading all the good reviews on TripAdvisor about it. The food is fantastic! Delicious, tasty and we are definitely going back to try different things. The chicken had a really nice taste, it is worth paying...
