NOW CLOSED and I dont think we will see these operators for a while.
The site now has a for sale board up and I’m sure it won’t be long before a another operator takes over. Its a good site as Kilmarnock’s Indian restaurants are very poor.
I’ve been to Zaika 5 times, twice were very enjoyable but its lost its shine in recent times. At first the attention to detail and the quality and inventiveness of the dishes were a refreshing change however the last 3 times the quality seems to me to have deteriorated.
This is all to common if the “greedy bastard” mentality kicks in and the head chef is pulled from pillar to post trying to keep all plates spinning.
Have noticed that the boss at Stewarton would rather spend his time chatting with regular customers rather than directing the service for the evening and he always leaves any customers that have an issue to the young girls employed as waitresses.
About a year ago I sent an email regarding the problem that occurs when you put coarse sea salt into a normal grinder (you get slightly smaller rocks to chew on) however I didn’t get a reply and they are still firing the same course salt into the grinders………….add to this I think portion size has decreased also.
Scores originally a 7 now a 5.
