Excellent, reasonably-priced Indian food

The other reviews don’t lie - this place rocks! Really simple meals that just taste excellent. It’s a shame that HappyCow won’t give restaurants that serve meat 5*, because as vegans we were just as well-served as the meat eaters in terms of options and high-quality food, even for such a reasonable price.

Pros: Amazing food, Decent vegan options, Really affordable and simple

Cons: Super minor: ‘spicy’ really was not spicy at all

Good food

Indian food is almost always good when you eat vegan, so we wanted to try this place. They unfortunately only have a single table outside (with two seats), but we managed to get it😄On the menu there were four or five different vegan options, a few more vegetarian and the rest with chicken. I ordered Aloo Gobi with rice, would have liked to get some naan, but unfortunately they didn't have vegan bread. The taste was good, quite spicy, but good. The portions were large and the price pretty good.

Pros: Vegan options , priceworthy

Cons: Few seats outside , No vegan bread

Really good indian food

We were there for dinner and were really lucky that they still had a table for us (it is quite small and many get food for take away). The food was amazing!

Amazing!!

I had a vegan dhaal here and it was the best dhaal I have ever had. It had a great depth of flavour that I have found in few places in Europe. The food is created by one guy who is not just a very talented chef but very passionate and knowledgeable. The cost of the food was amazing for the quality. ❤️❤️would come again

Pros: Taste, Cost, Service

Cons: Nothing

Excellent food, super cheap

Several vegan options, clearly labeled. All we tried were extremely tasty. Everything is very cheap and abundant too.
The restaurant has only two small tables, so think of it more as takeout. The food is prepared in the moment so it can take 20 mins or so.

Amazing indian cuisine in simple location

We had the Dal saag and the Baigan balti together with some vegan Naan. On our wish the cook prepared it for us with some extra garlic and even in two different styles.
The food was delicious, served with much love. All along the cook explained the science behind the spices and cooking techniques to us. We even continued our inspiring talk after the regular opening hours.
If you are looking for honest and high quality food to very fair prices, served with a great portion of humour: definitely visit Zaika!
We also felt like the food was very easy to digest and still extremely comforting and satisfying. You won't be disappointed!
Also ask for the special offer of the week. The cook creates new dishes regularly.

Fantastic food

This very small restaurent serves some of the tastiest food i have ever eaten. I have tried 3 of the 4 vegan dishes and they were all delicious and made with love and care! Order the vegan bread, that is exceptional in every sense of the word. I would give it 5 big stars if i could. Also the owner is really kind and is just a fantastic chef.
If you are in Ljubljana, you have to eat here at least once.

Great indian food

I was surprised by this little Indian restaurant, the cook was vegan friendly and proactive on my dishes choice to make sure I had a good meal. The chef use fresh vegetables and cooks everything last minute, even the bread was made in front of me.

I tried the Kofta rassedar which was absolutely delicious with a good umami kick, and spiced to perfection.

Overall, it's a good value for the price and I will definitely come back to try the other dishes.

Absolutely worth visiting

There are 4 different vegan dishes, all clearly marked. We tried the kofta rassedar, aloo gobhi mattar and the vegan bread (which they make fresh!) and all of it was absolutely delicious. The staff is extremely friendly and the food is pretty cheap.

Pros: Clearly marked vegan section on the menu, cheap, perfect portion size, great customer service
