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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The food was delivered on time and was excellent. We had madras and korma curries, tarka dahl (which was amazing) rice and papadoms for three persons. Plenty of food with left overs !

Been here a few times now and it’s gone downhill unfortunately. Soft poppadoms, tasteless curry and starters were very small. There seems to of been a price increase since our last visit, but the quality has gone. This was not a good meal from a...so called award winning restaurant unfortunately.More

Myself and friends visited Zyka last weekend. Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere & excellent food, it is not greasy like some curries can be which was a massive bonus. We will definitely be back

We had a take away this evening. When we went to order online for a collection we noticed there was a £1 fee for ordering online so we called up and placed the order. The food has gone extremely down hill. The food now comes...in plastic containers and we couldn’t help but think that this was a switch it product to zap everything in the microwave to turn over food faster. The potatoes in the veg curry which came with the biriani tasted off. The nicest thing we had was the poppadoms and the dip. The quality of the food has plummeted but the price remains extremely high. When we went to pick up the food the restaurant was empty which after eating our food we realised why. Very disappointed we will now be finding a new Indian restaurant to eat from.More

Despite having lived in Tilehurst for a few years this was my 1st ever visit. to Zyka. Despite some reviews I thought the service & welcome was good. Food we ordered was delicious but I accept it is a little more pricey than some other...Indian restaurants.

Living locally I have always been aware of the awards this place lists but never quite found time to visit. An offer from the parents to buy dinner was too good to miss so I booked us in. Calm, tranquil surroundings, good service, amazing food!...I had the king prawn saag which is one of the more “basic” dishes. The prawns were huge and had been chargrilled, just gorgeous. And the serving dishes were really interesting, stood out for being different which suggested that extra level of investment in the diners. We all loved the food, mum took forever to eat hers and the staff kept coming to clear the plates then realised she was still eating and backed away! The hot towels after eating are a nice touch too the not many places offer any more. A thoroughly delightful experience all round.More

Easily the best curry I've ever had in my life. The meat is cooked perfectly and not too tough as you can sometimes get in curry, the sauce is delicious and not too greasy, and all the staff are just fantastic. Zyka is the bar...I judge all other curry against. I only wish I lived closer so I could go more often.More

We’ve been coming to Zyka and ordering takeaway for the past couple of years, and the food has always been great. However, our last takeaway order was not good. The chicken korma sauce was so thick and didn’t taste very nice. The meat, both chicken...and lamb, were tough and dry. It seems that they have a different chef.More

Was a horrible experience. Very blunt and rude service from the chap who was a little older. Found a CURLY hair in my sag paneer. The lamb in the madras was tough and they skipped on portions. Very small and I was told off twice...like a school kid. Never go here. Felt sick the next dayMore

So look. We had a bad experience here a long while back but thought we’d give it another go a few weeks back. Have to say I was gutted. No sit down meal service?? And the menu prices had gone up considerably! Was spoken to...pretty bluntly and rudely so decided to take a trip into town instead. Was worth the journeyMore
