At Zaika we put food with traditional values and contemporary style where we want you to feel at home in a casual environment. Zaika is a favourite of serious foodies and those seeking the amazing flavours of a truly authentic northern Indian experience. Although hidden away in side street of Bayside suburb, Beaumaris, Zaika has long been discovered and applauded by The Age Good Food Guide, Cheap Eats, The Age Epicure and The Melbourne Weekly.
Many of Zaika's dishes are created for sharing, in the Indian family tradition, and the menu has plenty of choice for gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan diets. Dine in Zaika where MasterChef judges have already dined in "Eat in or Grab a tandoori meal and head towards the beach."

Services
We are an area favourite destination restaurant striving to provide the best food and service. We are the dining choice of our guests because of their preference to dine with us, not because of any lack of options. Singh's quality training, from hotel management in Bombay and stints with international airlines, to London and the city's Bombay Brasserie, is obvious.

Zaika is one of the most authentic Indian restaurants I have tried in Melbourne!! Their food was delicious and their mango lassi was superb (in taste and appearance!!). Their staff was fantastic to interact with and really friendly, helpful, and polite. Overall a wonderful experience and would definitely come again!! :D

This is a lovely restaurant with a homely touch. Expect great, fresh food with quick and efficient service. The staff are friendly but not intrusive - which is much appreciated when one wants a quiet night with family. The ambience is basic and there is adequate parking all around. They get busy on weekends so it's good to book in advance.

Since lockdown we have reacquainted ourselves with Zaika on a weekly basis...thank goodness! Having just finished tonight's feast ( delivered by the restaurant themselves in less than 20 minutes) our food was beautifully spiced, great quality in terms of both meat and veg, where everything was both hot (temperature) and fresh. The butter chicken is great in terms of smoky flavour altough we always go medium spiced. We have Indian friends who have run very successful restaurants and know they would love this food. Well done Zaika ... Lisa, Steve & Ben

We have been huge fans of Zaika for many many years. The food and the service have always been exceptional and it was hard to imagine it getting any better but it did! On our recent visit, Sunny and Dimple have reached new heights with the introduction of whole fish cooked in the tandoor oven! Sublime, mouth-watering perfection! Our non-bayside based friends were blown away. Bravo and please add it to your menu permanently.

Thank you so much Zaika!! We recently had a birthday dinner for 20 people and Sunny opened the kitchen especially on a Monday (they are usually closed) to cater for us!
The food was outstanding as usual, and all our guests loved it! Suni was extremely easy to deal with, he helped create the menu, it was reasonably price, and they gave us plenty more than we had ordered! We often get takeaway from Zaika, it is absolutely delicious, and our favourite Indian by far!
We are moving out of Beaumaris this year, however, will happily drive all over Melbourne just to eat here! Couldn't be more delighted
