About Zaika Indian Restaurant

Beaumaris locals treat this unpretentious North Indian kitchen as their premier weeknight dining room and takeaway go-to. The tandoor oven turns out blistered naan and smoky tandoori chicken, while regulars dial their curries from family-friendly mild to custom heat. Pull up a chair for rich rogan josh and house-made raita, bring your own bottle for a low corkage fee, or snack on complimentary papadums while waiting for your takeout order.

  • Kid-Friendly Heat Levels: Curries lean mildly spiced by default for easy family dining, with kitchen heat dialed up on request.
  • Takeaway Hospitality: Counter pickups come with complimentary crunchy papadums while you wait.
  • Casual BYO Dining: The dining room welcomes outside wine bottles with a modest corkage charge alongside its licensed beverage list.

  • Takeaway Routine with Waiting Papadums

    Takeaway curries and tandoori mains are prepared reliably for home dining, with generous hospitality offered right at the counter.

    will definitely be putting zaika in my take away rotation. Garlic cheesy naan is to die for, rogan josh is succulent and rich, and being greeted with such hospitality, smiles and papadums to snack on while I wait for my food is beyond phenomenal.

  • Flavorful Curries and Standout Sides

    Dishes are prepared with authentic flavour and tailored heat levels to suit any preference for carryout meals.

    The quality of the food here is incredible. Authentic spicy flavors and possibly the best raita in Melbourne. Ambience leaves a little to be desired so we do takeout which is 6 stars.

    The kitchen accommodates milestone gatherings on normally closed days with customized menu planning and generous portions.

    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!

  • Accommodating BYO with Modest Corkage

    Diners can bring their favourite bottles for special celebrations or dinner gatherings with an accessible corkage fee.

    The staff are friendly and accommodating. It is a byo with a pleasantly low corkage charge. Very worth trying!
