Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were let down by a local restaurant and turned up at Zyka shortly before the kitchen closed. However, we were made to feel very welcome by all the staff and enjoyed a fabulous Indian meal. Thank you Zyka.

Best Indian Restaurant in Glasgow. We eat at Zyka all the time since it opened and we have never had a bad meal/experience. Food is wonderful and staff are very friendly and helpful. The decor is relaxing and the atmosphere is perfect. FIVE STARS

We have been going to Zyka for more years than I can mention, initially when we lived in Clarkston for some 30 years, now in East Kilbride. In that time we've experienced all the Indian restaurants in our area, both in-house and takeaway as we...love Indian food with its flavours, sampling textures etc from various regions. They have all been excellent, but for us Zyka is best, first among equals. The difference is Zyka have found a blend of ingredients which is complimentary to our palate with consistently high quality cooking and delivery at a reasonable price. We usually have a Friday takeaway, keeping mid week in-house dining for special occasions. Staff have always been very very friendly and kind, with takeaways delivered on time and hot. Thank you so much Zyka, you have given us many enjoyable meals, long may you continue in these difficult times. The McLeod FamilyMore

Went to Zyka last December (2022) and the menu had changed dramatically...Basically it is now a Tapas bar and the portions were small and over-spiced...Previously it was a decent Indian restaurant...Now it is just a snack-bar (as I see it) and the food was poor...compared to previous times...A shame it appears to have gone downhillMore

Very disappointing having been at Zyka many times before. My husbands meal was served when my friends & my meals were almost finished! My coffee was extremely cold & had to be replaced, we hadn't even finished our drinks when we were presented with the...bill. We were busy in conversation when the house lights were put on, it was very clear they wanted all customers to leave the premises. I invited my friends to join us for a nice get together but this was extremely embarrassing. I called today to complain to the manager but I don't think he has customer service experience, he said he'd make sure everything would be OK next time we visit, I'm sorry but there won't be a next time. A pity because we actually enjoyed the food, just an awful atmosphere.More

So disappointed that Zyka is now a tapas bar. We used to enjoy the bar “European area” and had some great nights there. But 19 Canteen has taken that over (haven’t tried their European menu yet) and the Indian restaurant is now only available on...the right hand side. That was never my favourite side because it depends solely on artificial light. Anyway, we thought we would give it a try. We were never aware that it was now a tapas menu as it wasn’t advertised on the website. Couldn’t get mixed pakora or my favourite chicken tikka South Indian dish. Only small portions available which were served in crockery serving dishes. The food was hot enough when it was served but was cold by the time I had finished. The old style copper dishes always kept the food hot. The food tasted good enough but small portion of rice for £2.60 was a bit steep. The restaurant was cold and quite dull. We had three dishes between the two of us , a chicken pakora, two popadoms and a tandoori roti and two pints of kingfisher. All for just under £50. Not as good value as the old menu I’m afraid. I’ve always written great reviews for Zyka in the past, but not this time. Not for us and we won’t be back. PS. Couldn’t fault the service.More

Used to love Zyka but new menu is just not for me. If i want a chicken tikka i want that as a meal with sauce and rice not to have to order 2 seperate starter portions just to make up the meal. The large...sauce was £5 but really small and the rice that used to serve 2 only serves one and the tikka sauce is now a basic curry sauce that is not a patch on the old tikka sauce. Chicken itself and the service was great as always but the menu and the changes are just not for me. Might be in the minority but will not be back unless the menu gives me a main course againMore

Having had decent meals before we phoned and ordered 3 main meals (so we thought) and sides only to get home after collection and find the chicken tikka was minus curry sauce and sidesalad. As minor as a sidesalad is! the absence of curry sauce...in an Indian takeaway was perplexing at least. Having called zyka my wife was left with the brilliant communication bullet points of 'its a new menu' (doesn't say so on their website), 'we don't include items now' (wow I knew that by then) and best of all 'we can send you more tikka and some sauce for £!!!!!' (They actually expected full price). As I sat contemplating the bowl of dry rice and 3 small bits of tikka this was not what I expected to hear or be offered. Whatever cost of living crisis or other issue led to the management to adopt this approach and bit part menu it actually adds up to that awful scenario of a product you used to love suddenly becoming 2nd rate and much smaller yet you have still paid a premium for it. The 'payup' attitude on the phone was very poor and we won't be back, neither will many I know who ask for the better Indians to order from, as we are considered reasonably accurate in our views. My neighbours always go to giffnock and i wondered why, now I agree. 1st rate cost for 3rd rate part of a main meal, zero communication to flag up the change, and 4th rate attitudes on the phone of pay up for us to rectify your dry as a sahara desert dinner. All in all outstandingly condescending and costly for far less than you thought you were getting. Buyer beware or go elsewhere for a full dinner.More

Everything was perfection; the food, the staff and the restaurant were all fantastic. Special thanks to our waiter Kumar, who is an absolute credit to the restaurant and Scotland. His friendly nature and service was the highlight of our visit. Can’t wait to come back...❤️. It was an absolute pleasure to dine here. Would travel back from Belfast for the service alone. The food is an exceptional bonus. Worth every penny and thanks again :) Much love, Caitlin and Leo.More
