“ This is a great place if you are looking for a place that is more authentic and less Americanized. They have a nice selection of food to order and fresh hot naan is included. The service staff is friendly. ”

“ Great place to go if your vegetarian & visiting Niagara Falls. So many options in the buffet to choose from. My family loved everything. The meat dishes were halal. The service was great! Staff was very quick & efficient. Space was kept very clean. Felt like the staff was wiping up crumbs as they were falling. The buffet area was a little squished I feel like they did that to make more space for people at the tables since they get a lot of people coming in. If your visiting the falls in the America side i would save this place since it is just a few minutes away from the falls. ”

“ We loved it. Start with the free parking in the lot behind the restaurant, a hard thing to find in Niagara Falls. Then the service was awesome too. It is buffet, the usual Indian fare. Hot lamb dish was great. Chicken Tikka masala was also divine, spinach tofu, etc. Ambiance is also nice for dinner (unlike some buffets). ”

“ Delicious Indian Food in a buffet setting. Service was top notch. Options were mixed veg and non veg along with a couple of tasty desserts. Prices were quite reasonable for such a touristy area. Give it a shot. ”

“ One of the best Indian buffets in Western New York. The place is seasonal though, so be forewarned. On a weeknight in middle of June this place was overflowing with customers. Appetizers included samosas, pakora, a variety of chutneys; white basmati rice, chicken or vegetable biryanis, meats: goat curry, chicken tandoori, fish fry; veg: dal makhani, aloo saag, palak paneer, aloo gobhi, aloo mutter, naveatan korma and many more. Choice of deserts. Also highly recommend the chai masala and mango lassi. ”

“ Very good selection of buffet items. You can also upgrade your naan to garlic naan which we did. The clientele confirmed that this place was pretty good and authentic. Service was also very friendly, making sure our waters were topped up. Food was a bit spicy for me but it didn't take away any of the taste. Glad we gave this place a try! ”

“ It is a good restaurant with Indian cuisine. Buffet lunch and dinner are available. It gets crowded so be ready for some wait but the food is worth waiting for. We reached around 6pm for dinner and were seated in 5mins. Great options for vegetarians. It's walking distance from Niagara Falls. I visited this place back in 2017 and 7 years later they have still maintained their quality and cleanliness. Hotel policy is,if you waste food in your plate, you will be fined. Such a great policy I hope they never change it. Zaika sure is a must visit restaurant! ”

“ Let me start off by saying that I am of Indian descent. Even though there are a lot of Indian restaurants in WNY, they aren't of the quality we usually get in Canada. For this reason, we tend to drive to Canada, which isn't always convenient. Even though we had heard about Zaika in NF, I didn't think they would be worth the drive to NF. This weekend though, we were looking forward to a drive, and decided to take the risk. I'm glad we put in the effort, for the food was delicious. Upon entering, they first ask you to take some time reading their list of rules. Even though this might seem odd, it is highly practical. They up front ask you to not waste food, that one will be charged if they waste over 0.5 lbs of food, that there will be a service charge for parties of 5 or more, etc. They also ask you to take a new plate every time, use gloves, etc. They also have a large variety of food, more than we have seen at other Indian buffets in Buffalo. The price is reasonable, especially considering the pricier items on the menu and also the variety. All the dishes were also very well made. There is a buffet we used to visit in the past where, even though the price was reasonable, I always found one dish or more which was at the quality I used to cook at when I was in college, and I was surprised to see it served. I couldn't find that issue at this place through. The chicken tandoori was perfectly moist on the inside, flavorful, and crisp on the outside. They also had tandoori fish, which was well made. The dal makhni was good, the aalo bhaji, chicken curry, goat curry, and everything else. I wish I had a larger stomach for I wish I could eat some more. I was stuffed. For dessert, the offerings included kheer (basmati rice cooked in milk with sugar and cardamon), and gulab jamun (a childhood favorite). You could also order additional items on the menu, for which we got mango lassi. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs though, for it was a challenge to finish it. Again, we aren't competitive eaters. Either way, I would rate this as the best Indian restaurant I have found in WNY, to date. They are also reasonably priced at $20.99/person for dinner. This place is also pretty big, and with a surprisingly large bathroom. ”

“ In direct contrast of the thundering falls and roaring rapids, it was a really quiet Monday for such a popular tourist spot and most restaurants were either closed or boasting empty seats. I had not really looked around at dining options before getting here so a quick search immediately recommended Zaika's lunch buffet. A short walk later revealed a completely different scene in their dining room compared to all the other places I've walked past throughout the day. It was a bustling dining hall filled with the scent of aromatic food and the sound of laughter and conversations. I guess this was a good choice OR they had paid enough to be the first recommended spot to anyone searching for a good bite in the area. I was seated promptly and started my rounds around the straightforward buffet spread filled with various popular sides from Chana and Aloo to salads and various biryanis, curries, and tandoori chicken. I took just a little of everything to try and was pleasantly surprised of both the flavor and freshness. As there was a good number of diners present, refills kept coming out from the kitchen and the tandoori chicken was the juiciest I've had so far on this side of the coast. My only issue with this place is the number of people returning to the buffet line with their used plates (some of whom were also eating with their hands as customary to some cultures)...and *none* of the staff (if they actually noticed) stopped any of these individuals throughout the hour I dined here. I hope that this is dealt with soon as it *is* a health code violation. ”
