Great!
This place is good for Indian food. They serve buffet at reasonable prices. Buffet had ample variety of foods for both veg non-vegetarians with two desserts. I really liked their rule of pay for food wastage, hats off for this rule.

Great!
This restaurant is on 3rd street in Niagara Falls a few blocks away from the Falls. Food was tasty but a bit spicy for my kids. Wait staff were attentive and the food was refilled promptly. During lunch there was option for chat, vegetarian and non vegetarian options and desserts.

Perfect!
We went in weekends and it was jam packed with people. So The only option they had is buffet. And they have a time limit of 45 mins per group or table in order to finish the food but I don’t think they take that rule serious. They service is very good. You order non alcoholic drinks on side but not included in buffet. The food was awesome. Lots of veg and vegan options to choose from. One of the best Indian cuisine in Buffalo, NY.

Perfect!
My friends we visited Niagara Falls last year, recommended this place to me, and they were correct about this place. It’s a very nice North Indian restaurant. The buffet was amazing. I liked all of their dishes. Only thing is that, if you waste food more than half pound, then they will charge you for the wastage, which totally makes sense. Also, each time one goes to get the food, will get a new plate, which is also nice to me.

Great!
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.
