Found myself downtown around lunchtime and finally decided it was time to check out Zayka -- and…read morewow, I'm glad I did. From the outside, you'd never guess how spacious it is inside. There's even outdoor seating and a rooftop (pretty sure I spotted that), but with it being 30 degrees out, I kept my Missouri-born self firmly indoors. I was seated right away and handed both the full menu and their daily lunch menu, which comes with two choices: vegan or non-vegan. Plot twist -- even the non-vegan option arrives as a full-on sampler platter with a veggie dish included. My plate came stacked: fluffy basmati rice, rich butter chicken(top middle), tender chicken tandoori (top left), a hearty vegetable curry (top right), three massive slices of fresh naan, and a little dessert to finish things off. All for fifteen bucks. Fifteen! It's easily one of the best lunch deals downtown. Everything was hot, fresh, and packed with flavor -- except the dessert (bottom middle), which was cold(because it's supposed to be, but still super tasty. Zayka absolutely delivers on bold, authentic Indian cuisine at a price point that just feels unfair to everyone else. The buffet must still be an option, but not Thursdays apparently, so I'm already planning my return trip.

Let me just start with saying this was the most delicious piece of cornbread I've ever experienced…read morein my life. And that's saying something as I would never purposefully choose an edge piece. On top of that I was surprised to find that spaghetti comes as a side! It reminded me of cafeteria spaghetti, but not the bad kind you groan about when you see it on the menu, the kind that has you running to the cafeteria to beat everyone else. The spicy cabbage is just that, SPICY. I was only able to eat a few bites, but even under all that spice the flavor was excellent. The catfish strips were hot and tender. They even threw in an extra or two. Now the server, he was amazing. He greeted us promptly and went above and beyond. I have not had such a positive experience with a server at any restaurant I've been to in a long time. I didn't catch his name, but he was brilliant. The restaurant was clean, food was fresh, and plenty of seating. I'm very excited to visit here again! We've been here twice, once dining in and once as an order ahead take-out. Both times we have been incredibly impressed by the atmosphere, service, and food. They have the best classic southern soul food we've had the pleasure of enjoying in the area. Their menu is huge with a wide variety such as chicken livers, rabbit, catfish, and classic Southern entrees. We were impressed with the long list of side options such as the spicy cabbage and spaghetti. Their cornbread is incredible, you've got to try it.

And the music..low, warm Motown drifting out the door like an invitation you'd be a fool to refuse. That's how you find Mama G's. Parking was a minor hassle. Worth it. Inside, the soul of the place hits you immediately. Family portraits line the walls:real people, real smiles, real history. The woman at the counter greets you not like a customer, but like a nephew who's finally come home for the holiday. That's not trained hospitality. That's heritage. We waited fifteen minutes. Got seated by the bathroom with a view of the road. Not ideal. But you know what? I didn't care. Because the smell coming out of that kitchen was already forgiving every small inconvenience. The menu reads like a dare. Everything "spiced correctly," they boast. No timidity here. So I went big. The Stuffed Turkey Leg: a smoked behemoth of a thing, piled high with greens, mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, all crowned with cornbread crumbs. Thanksgiving on a plate. A chaotic, glorious, soulful mess. The collard greens hit first. Earthy, slow-cooked, righteous. Then the mac and cheese, creamy and clinging to the turkey meat like it belonged there. The yams? Sweet, soft, perfect punctuation. And the spices??; they danced. Bold but not brutal. I could handle it. My four-year-old, however, disagreed. The mac was "too spicy" for her young tongue. Fair criticism. Take the kid to a park next time. This food is for grown-ups! My fiancée went with the Fried Wings. Hand-breaded, Mama G's own seasoning, fresh from the fryer. The kind of fry that crackles when you bite in..extra crispy on the outside, impossibly tender within. She needed dipping sauce to cool the heat. She didn't complain once. In a city full of bland, safe restaurant food, she was grateful for something that actually tasted alive. The staff? Warm. Genuine. Our waitress heard our compliments and brought us a free side of spicy cabbage just to show off what else the kitchen could do. That's confidence. That's family. Mama G's is not a restaurant. It's a relative's house where you happen to pay at the end. It's a taste of the South, a taste of something real, a taste of lovely.

Everything on the buffet was fresh and plentiful, and I appreciated the desserts and chai were included. I was sad to find out on Wednesday 5/6 that they now only have a buffet on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They do have a lunch platter: chicken curry, veg korma, rice and naan for...I don't remember, maybe $10? The korma was great but the curry was a little light on the chicken. Regardless, this is a great choice for Indian especially on that side of town. I was also reviewing their menu and was delighted to see that they have Momos, which I believe are Nepalese dumplings. I will definitely try them next time I'm there! The mango lassi was fabulous too, and I noticed that they have Rose lassi and lime soda as well.

It's a great spot for anyone -- solo lunch, family outing (they even have a kids menu), or a quick healthy bite during shopping. Highly recommend giving this local gem a try!

No customers in restaurant. The cook asked if it was ok to put the orka and the frys with the fish. I am pregnant so I said no. (I dont like okra and the steam will make things soggy) it was already in the box with the fish on top of the frys and okra. He made a fresh batch of okra in a separate container. (Not fish). The side salad was $6 for chopped iceberg lettuce with a few tomatoes, some cheese and a ranch packet. My husband's jambalaya was soup in a styrofoam lid container.. and they forgot my coleslaw. So I called a man answered. (The owner). I tried to explain the situation to him and he was very rude. He interrupted me before I could even finish what the issue was with the food, to tell me he was not going to give us a refund. "That we ordered a to-go order and that's what fast food is." We paid $50. Just like any other sit down, paying customer would for their food, only to get poor quality food, very poor customer service and a very RUDE owner. The owner told us to bring all the food back. We arrived at the restaurant after closing time 9pm. The owner said "if the food looks good to me, i'm not going to give you a refund." Mind you me and my husband had maybe 4 bites of the food on each entree to try it as we have NEVER been to the restaurant before. He said "It looks good to me. What do you want? Do you want money?" I said no. I'd like better customer service but since you offered that would be very nice of you. The owner gave me $20 from his wallet and then tried to take all of the food that we purchased. I told him if he wanted to keep ALL the food then he can give me a full refund... he refused. I had to ask him to stop yelling at me 2 times while in the restaurant, that I am pregnant and food should NEVER be this stressful. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL!
