I ordered the lamb vindaloo and it tasted more like a lamb masala. The kebabs were good and the table service was also really good and prompt however, there was a funny thing I noticed. When me and my friend (we both look Indian) entered the restaurant, there was no music playing. After about 20 minutes, a Caucasian couple entered and were seated near us and suddenly, there was music playing. The couple left before me and my friend did and as soon as they left, the music suddenly stopped playing. This isn’t the first time, and probably not the last time, where I’ve noticed Caucasian people treated a little extra special/different in Indian restaurants and friends who look like me have shared similar situations. I think it’s important for all restaurants to keep in mind that all patrons should be treated the same – because we notice!

Great buffer with salad, two dessert, and even Naan. Today, they had chicken and goat for meats. There is also tea included. The price is $21 and weekend lunches only from 12pm to 3pm. This is a great buffet for a fair price!

This resturant had the best Indian food I have ever had! Everything was fresh and the flavors were well-balanced. They had a wide selection on the menu and great prices. The service was quick and our server was helpful, courteous, and friendly. The desert was unique and homemade! I will definitely be going back.

The worst Indian food so far in Boston. They should be ashamed of selling this low quality food for this high price. The Lamb Sali Boti was undercooked and bad chewy. The Masala in the Dosa had sand particles which clearly proves the potatoes were not washed before cooking. Similar story with Aloo Paratha but also it was undercooked. It felt like I was eating raw wheat. Never order Spinach & Chicken Paratha. Terrible. All the food is in the garbage and I’m never going to get food from Zaika again.

Visited a couple of times. The taste is not uniform. On all visits sodium content was very high making the food taste salty. Ambience is sometimes weird and uncomfortable when kitchen employees are sitting at the table in the last row and staring at you! Parking is hard to get on weekends although there are free parking spots on the other side of the restaurant. Price is ok not too expensive.

Located on Woburn, this is one of the best places to eat in Boston if you are looking for authentic Indian flavors. We tried Paneer Pakoda, Gobhi Manchurian, Aloo Tikki as appetizers. Everything was delicious. The main course breads was soft and fluffy. I would recommend trying Baigan ka Saalan – the taste reminded me of India. The pricing is very reasonable. Overall one of the best Indian places to eat here. Will go again.

The restaurant name is Zaika Indian Bistro (not sure why Google is calling it “Indian Restaurant Woburn) and it is a smallish eatery in Woburn center with really phenomenal food. Server offered food with mild, medium, and hot spice and each level is true to its designation. Food was tasty, service was fast and friendly. Would visit again.
