This place is a diamond in the rough I've been there with my daughter. I've been there with my wife. The food is consistent. The temperature is great. It is served hot. You also are able to select your level of spiciness flavors are wonderful. The prices are reasonable even the drink prices are much lower than other competitors in the area. I think once the word gets out even though the location is a little off the beaten path it is certainly worth a trip and a try. read more

We were both tired so we decided to eat out. Indian was the decision and this restaurant was the location. Decided on papad, as I had a craving, to go with tandoori chicken and tandoori shrimp our staples. Mixed veggies with his entree and spinach and potato with mine. Today's medium spice was spicy. So so delish! Such a relief to have a place to go when you are tired. The papad was so nice and crispy. Good decision. read more

Made a carryout order on a Saturday at 1 PM. The chicken curry was OK. The Pakora and PaPad were cold and stale. This was rather expensive at $38. For that kind of money, you'd think they would make fresh food. Disappointing. read more

We have been going to the castle rock location for a couple years now. A couple weeks ago we had an issue with our drinks. Beers were flat and incorrect. Tonight we ordered some naan to go. Just naan. Got home and it was completely burned on one side. $14 for two ordered of burned naan. The photo was part of a piece that was edible. The rest was done the garbage disposal by the time I decided to leave this post. Frustrated. We will be taking a break after two bad experiences in a row. read more

Husband and I recently moved to Castle Rock and tried Zaika take out one night. We eat Indian food quite a bit and know it runs on the pricey side. However, the amount of food I got for a $20 entree was minimal. Flavor was okay, not very spicy. Chicken was overcooked. Not sure if I will be back, but if so would probably try dine in vs. take out. read more

Really enjoyed our meal here stopped in on a whim. We were in the area running errands and decided to grab an early dinner sat outside on their patio, which was very nice and decorated. The food itself came out super fast and was super good. The.Naan bread was cooked perfectly as well were the samosas server was very attentive and without being overbearing will definitely be back again. read more

A great Indian restaurant if you're in the Castle Rock area. When we got there, it seemed dead for 5 pm, but once we got seated it started to fill up quickly. We started off with the Gobi Manchurian, highly recommend if you like cauliflower! Or even if you're unsure. We also shared the chicken tikka masala with a side of cheese naan. The cheese naan is to die for. I normally always get the garlic naan, but was convinced to try something new. I'm hooked. The service here was also great, they were attentive and made sure we had plenty of water. Would recommend this place :) read more

Zaika Indian - Dinner Lentil Soup - Indian Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

PRICES ARE OUTRAGEOUS!!! Over $100 to feed my family of 4, so I didn't go and won't be going back. I'm officially done with Zaika.

Second time at Zaika was excellent. Chicken curry was yummy. I went with medium hot this time (instead of medium), and that pushed it over the top. The cheese naan was great. I had the momo as well (dumplings with a buttery tomato sauce) as an experiment. Should have remembered dumplings are not my favorite. No fault of the restaurant; I think someone who is into that sort of dish would have liked it. Not for me though. As with last time, the service was friendly and helpful. Give Zaika a try, and jack up the spice level if you can handle it. read more

This is another good Indian food option in Castle Rock. I ordered takeout twice in the not too distant past. I liked their Saag Paneer. It was creamy and spiced well. Both times I ordered, they had my order ready when I arrived for pickup. It's a seamless process when picking up. I haven't dined inside but will sometime in the near future. The first time I ordered something to go, a female staff member was warm and friendly. I always appreciate this whenever I interact with staff at restaurants. Also, I feel that the prices here are average for Indian food. As you probably already know, plan on spending some money when ordering Indian food. Unfortunately, they do not offer delivery if you're ordering through Yelp. For both takeout orders, I had to pick it up. Also, spice level is accurate per your liking. If your order spicy, they don't overdo it. The ambiance of this restaurant is welcoming and pleasant. They have plenty of tables to sit at for your dining experience. The only caveat for a heads up is that you will need to access a side street to get to the restaurant. You can easily see Zaika from Founders Parkway. However, turn off one of the side streets (Front Street or Allen Way) to access the parking lot for pickup at dining inside the restaurant. I will visit here again when in the mood for Indian food which is probably soon! Hope you enjoy their food. read more

I am so happy I found Zaika! I ordered the coastal curry mild with chicken to go. The chicken was so tender and the curry has the depth of flavor that makes it feel like home. I will definitely go back! read more

Have eaten at Zaika since we first arrived in Castle Rock in 2018. It has always been outstanding. A few weeks ago, spent almost $100 for 3 meals, 2 samosa orders and naan delivered by Caviar. The chicken korma is normally a light ish yellow color but instead was a sort of intense green color. It looked so unappetizing, my mother did not even eat it. The tandoori chicken looked burnt. The chicken tikka massala was ok but barely had any chicken. For $18? The samosas were ok, nothing special. We do not normally order them, and I didn't really enjoy them. I called Zaika immediately and an Indian woman answered. She never apologized and said the manager was not in the restaurant that night, which I find hard to believe. She said he'd call me. He never did. I waited a week or so and then called again and got the answering machine. I left a detailed message and requested a comp for two meals. Still no call from the manager a week later. It's really sad. I used to love this restaurant. I don't know if they are under new management or something, but I will not be returning after my experience with the food, the staff and the management. read more

Very authentic. Recommend the lamb korma and the rice pudding for dessert! It's nice to see some ethnic food in Castle Rock, we need it! read more

Great food, great service and reasonable pricing. We usually order take out but the dining area is nice.

Zaika's portion sizes have always been small, but my recent carryout order was the final straw. I ordered the grilled chicken tikka and got five small pieces of chicken and a small portion of vegetables. I would have gotten more food from a Lean Cuisine. The appetizers were likewise small in portion size. For Indian in Castle Rock go to Tamarind. read more

The food was phenomenal. The server was so kind. It's is about $20-$25 a plate, but that's what I would expect for quality Indian food. Highly recommend. read more

Honestly, I rarely go to Indian restaurants but came here on my brothers suggestion for chai pakodas. As a self proclaimed tea connoisseur I think the chai was probably the best chai I've had in Denver area! The onion pakoras were really good and crispy and freshly made to order. The momos however were okayish. I definitely want to try other things on their menu. read more

The food is really yummy and I was so happy to try out this restaurant. The mango lassi was perfect and the dishes were very good. The dessert was a bit too small, but everything else was great. We look forward to coming back. read more

We always have such a fantastic meal from here. Whether it be for dining in or take out. Great portions, service and food!!! We have friends that live in the mountains and when they come to visit they always ask to eat here. Thanks for always having a wonderful staff and food! read more

We have been here twice in the last week and the food has not disappointed either time!!! The restaurant is really clean, and this is going to be our new go to place for Indian food!!!

We started with an order of Onion Pakora which was great. Lightly bathed and seasoned well. The Papad was a light option for an appetizer. The mint chutney went very well along with the Papad. Both of our entrees were prepared with fresh ingredients and the perfect amount of spice and flavor. The chicken in both the Chicken Curry and the Chicken Vindaloo was very tender. Clean and comfortable seating. Great service. read more

Very attentive staff, friendly. The food we ordered was very good. Rivals or exceeds Tandoori Restaurant, and less expensive and nice/better ambiance. We'll definitely be coming back. read more

Bad service. Many people coming in disappointed. I waited over ten min to get water and asked for my order. Left after waiting over 40 min for my food. Save your money and go to a place that will serve you. read more

Food was excellent. mango llasi, vindaloo, tandoori chicken. Service was OK I will be back for more. read more

Renovated from the yucky pizza place that closed down, it is really classed up and lovely inside. They obviously care what people think of their food and that is good to see. The manager came by several times to ask me how I liked the food, and while I find that to be overkill, I can understand for a new restaurant. I ordered the chicken vindaloo at a level 4 spiciness. With 5 being their highest, I felt this to be safe. I asked my lady server if the naan was garlic-butter naan and she said yes, she can do that. The meal is supposed to come with soup or salad, so I chose salad. My iced tea came along with the little tub of various sweeteners. I put one packet in my tea, mixed it and the server came back to take the tub away. Did she think I was going to steal the 8 packets of sugar and Splenda? When my order came out, it looked delightful and two pieces of regular naan was on my plate while a basket of 4 slices of butter-garlic naan was set down on my table. I looked at the guy and asked him why so much naan. He said I can take the rest home. Huh? In true South Indian tradition, I took a piece of the bread and dipped it in the Vindaloo to taste it. Holy hotness Batman, even a 4 gave some burn!! It was grainy and not as creamy as the authentic stuff I ate in Chennai, India but wasn't bad. My rice pyramid was not tightly packed and crumbled on me. Too dry and not a hearty serving, but it tasted good. That's when I noticed I never got my salad, so I asked the server what happened to my salad. She looked very surprised and shocked and apologized for forgetting it. She rushed back with a salad that looked like it was sitting on the plate in the refrigerator for about an hour. You know what I mean, dried out vegetables. My tea glass sat empty for most of the rest of my meal and nobody offered to refill it. I finally had to ask and they forgot to bring back the tub of sweeteners. Had to ask for that too. I then asked for a box for the rest of my food and the tons of naan as well as the bill. Aha! They charged me $4 for the garlic-butter naan basket! I only wanted the two slices in my order to be butter-garlic, but I guess the language barrier made her misunderstand me. I received a 15% Grand Opening discount, which I gave right back as part of the tip. So, almost $20 later, I decided I'd rather go to Tamarind Indian Cuisine on Perry & 6th. read more

We were greeted with smiles and an overall happiness that we chose to dine with them. The samosas were full of flavor and not dry. The chicken Tikki Masala was incredible- thick gravy with lots of flavor. Not too spicy. The chicken vindaloo was spicy but In a very good way! Very surprised to have found this gem in the middle of Castle Rock! We will be back for sure!! read more

I'm new to Castle Rock, and I was very worried that my "ethnic" taste bud cravings would suffer. Welp. Zaika's got me covered for Indian! I've been twice now, and both times the service and food were all stellar! I will say, my pocketbook prefers the lunchtime pro OG deals. $11-$14 will get you a protein and sauce/preparation of your choice, basmati rice, and fabulous naan bread. And my Lamb Korma was excellent. No cherry, fatty lamb discards here! (See pic!) and you definitely won't leave hungry! I took half mine home and it fed me for lunch the next day. Have also sampled the saag paneer and mango chutney, all will keep me coming back for more! So happy Zaika is in my new neighborhood! read more
