Zayka Indian Cuisine: Authentic Indian Delights in Raleigh

We had such a great experience at this Indian restaurant! The cook AK personally came out to help us choose our appetizer and entrée based on what we like, and everything turned out perfect. The food was full of flavor, fresh, and beautifully presented. You can really tell they care about making sure every guest enjoys their meal. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Indian food and amazing service!

So unfortunately I have to add a bit of a change to my review after our experience here on Saturday 2/14/26 Reservation for 4 at 5:30, just so we ALL get a clear picture including the owners. The experience was sub par to say the least. The waiters didn't have the most welcoming attitudes. We took some friends to Have Indian food for the first time and they made them feel foolish for not understanding what was on the menu to the point that my friends wife felt uncomfortable serving herself some of the appetizers as if she did something wrong for asking questions. We had to ask about our food multiple times. I asked for a Tamarindo margarita and after about 20 min of waiting I received a Mango Lassi Margarita. I not once was asked if or even just received a refill of water, it's the simple things sometimes that keep customers coming back. I don't know if this was a 3rd party service they used to have hosts since they knew they would be busy for a Valentines day influx of customers, but if that was the case I would rethink using that service provider next time around. This is the first time my wife and I visit during a busy time slot, we typically have done brunch the three previous times we went, so we just dealt with one host and that was always a pleasant experience, but that's no excuse for how they made our company feel. I hope on our next visit this is taken into account and they improve on who they select to host on busy occasions. It would be a shame to lose clientele over Service and not the quality of your food. Food for thought! (No Pun Intended) Be well! And Good Luck.

I showed up at about 1:30 on a Monday afternoon. I was the only customer the whole time I was there. Not sure why, because the food is really fantastic and very authentic. My only concern food-wise is that because they were slow a couple of the dishes on the buffet were either overcooked due to sitting, or luke warm because that spot on the table was not as hot as it should be. They had a good variety of choices on the buffet and I thoroughly enjoyed everything I tried. I will be back!

we come here every time we’re in town and always wish we could visit more often. tonight was extra special.. it was my fiancé’s birthday, and we wanted to try a few new dishes. AK gave us amazing recommendations that completely exceeded our expectations! Mani was very kind and the service was incredible, and we can’t wait to come back!

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the pleasure of dining at ZYKA Indian Cuisine in Morrisville for Father's Day, and it was an unforgettable experience! We indulged in their signature dishes, starting with the Zayka Mixed Grill, which was a delightful assortment of perfectly grilled meats, bursting with flavors and spices. The Goat Sarian Biryani was rich and aromatic, with tender goat meat that melted in our mouths. The Luknavi Chicken Dum Biryani was equally impressive, with succulent chicken and a harmonious blend of spices. The Chicken Dum Anari Korma stood out with its unique sweet and spicy balance, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. Accompanied by the soft and fresh Rumali Roti, every bite was a delight. To top it all off, we tried their house-special cocktail, "Meet Yourself," which was refreshingly unique and complemented our meal wonderfully. A special mention to the owner, Keshav Kalia, who was exceptionally hospitable, ensuring everything was perfect and checking in on us throughout our meal. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. A big thank you to Darshan Bhai for recommending this wonderful restaurant. Thank you, ZYKA, for making our Father's Day celebration so special. We can't wait to return!

Best Indian food I've had in a very long time. I tried some dishes I hadn't heard of before and the chef did a fantastic job preparing them. Everyone, including the manager and the waiters could not have been more attentive and personable. Hope they like me because they're going to see a lot of me in the future

Wow. This place is so much better than the google reviews make it seem. The Agra Ki Kurkuri Tikka Chaat was the most amazing appetizer. The potato pancake was fried crispy and the sauces had depth of flavor, a little spice, and the right amount of seasoning. Definitely try this dish if you’re looking for an appetizer. It is vegetarian and if you like Indian food in general you’re sure to enjoy it. I had the chicken tikka masala as my entree. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was spicy since I ordered it Indian hot. If you like spice definitely go for the Indian hot - it was not crazy, though tikka masala is never crazy spicy in my experience. The garlic chili naan was also a must get. I was blown away by all my food and will come here every time I return to the area for work.
