New Zaiqa

“New Zaiqa isn’t about the dining experience—it’s more of a takeout spot.”

New Zaiqa isn’t about the dining experience—it’s more of a takeout spot. But if you’re craving that old Hyderabad city vibe, you can definitely sit down and enjoy your meal there. Must-Try Dishes: ⭐ Chicken 65 – This is a rare treat, usually available on Saturdays (Call ahead). Easily one of the best Chicken 65 I’ve had in the USA—crispy, flavorful and perfectly spiced. ⭐ Ginger Chicken – A solid favorite with just the right balance of spice and heat. ⭐ Aachari Chicken – If you love bold, tangy flavors, this one won’t disappoint. ⭐ Biryani (Lamb/Goat & Chicken) – Their biryanis are packed with rich flavors and paired with their Mirchi ka Salan takes it to another level. ⭐ Tea – A simple but satisfying way to end the meal. If you’re not a fan of the dine-in setup, just order takeout and enjoy an authentic Hyderabadi feast at home. Definitely worth trying!

This place is open up late making it an excellent spot for food during a late night study session or coming back from work. The staff is very friendly and there is a good amount of seating. The food is very tasty and the portion sizes are great for the price. Overall I highly recommend this place and cannot wait to try it again

“When we started for looking restaurants to eat late, this was the only restaurant open with only 181 ratings.”

When we started for looking restaurants to eat late, this was the only restaurant open with only 181 ratings. I was little skeptical about trying it but that was our last option if wanted to eat Indian food. And I am so glad I went there. We ordered dalcha and chicken with rice. And omg the quantity was surprisingly high, you can see it in picture; on top that the quality was very good. At one point I was full but couldn’t stop myself from eating more. Do not be fooled by low review numbers this is the best place for sure. The ambience or interiors are not that catchy but food is flavorful and people are kind too.

“The greeter/waiter was super nice.”

The greeter/waiter was super nice. The food was really delicious. My only disappointment was the cleanliness of the place. The only reason I stayed was because I was far from my regular Indian restaurant. The place can use a good scrub.

“The environment was unclean, and the food was subpar, especially considering the high prices.”

The environment was unclean, and the food was subpar, especially considering the high prices. The front desk staff seemed unconcerned with customer satisfaction, making me feel like I was asking for a favor rather than making a purchase. The food was hot, but it tasted like it had been cooked days in advance and reheated. The curries had an unpleasant, stale flavor. To make matters worse, the packaging was extremely cheap and unimpressive. Overall, I was not impressed with the quality of the food or the service, and I would not recommend this place to others.

“This is the worst dining experience I've had.”

This is the worst dining experience I've had. Zero hygiene, zero taste. Even if this were the only place to eat, I would not choose it, even if he is my enemie. Needs improvement!!!!!

“To me CLEANING is a key important part for a restaurant.”

To me CLEANING is a key important part for a restaurant. Being a Chef I can speak on this. Probably good food. But it does not take alot of time to clean. Especially how slow it looks here. And customer service is horrible.

“Ordered 2 kabob plates on Doordash.”

Ordered 2 kabob plates on Doordash. Both of them came with pieces of broken kabobs. One of the boxes had a hole in it. Salad didn't seem fresh, plus the jalapenos' seeds weren't removed. Wouldn't order from this place again.

“Large, generous dishes.”

Large, generous dishes. Really flavorful food. We tried lagan chicken, achari chicken, and potato samosas. All exceeded expectations and were really good! I will note they had limited menu items, and some things on the menu we wanted to try were not available.
