Amazing experience yesterday at Zaiqa bbq Restaurant! Everything we ordered was on point. We have been here before, but this time the taste, quality and service everything was amazing. We ordered Lahori Chargha, Chicken Biryani and Daal Mash. Also Kashmiri chai which was so good! Even though Daal Mash has strong flavours (a bit on spicy side in case you don’t like a lot of spices just let them know in advance) it was the highlight of all the items we ordered (at least for me). The owner gave us complementary custard (sweet) which was also quite good. Amazing value for money! Plus kudos to the owner for turning around everything in terms of taste, quality and service.

5 stars One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while! The food was incredibly flavorful, authentic, and served fresh and hot. From the rich biryani to the buttery naan and perfectly cooked curries, every dish was spot on. A big shoutout to Shweta for giving us the best service—she was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend this place

The food here is top notch. The peshawri kulcha was out of this world. The kadhai, nihari and all the other curries are flavoursome and wel made. The Chargah was a stand out dish. The other kebabs were very good as well. The Kasmiri pink chai was so unique. They do have a buffet as well if thats something one prefers. A solid choice for Lahori food.

One of the best restaurants I have come across in Canada. The food was just like how I remembered in Pakistan . The server was so kind & attentive. The Haleem we ordered was so thick in consistency and delicious. Definitely recommend coming here again soon!

I had a great experience at Zaiqa Restaurant! I ordered the biryani, and the portion was absolutely generous — perfect for biryani lovers. The flavor was rich and authentic, and to top it off, they served a complimentary mango custard which was a sweet and refreshing touch. The food was served warm, fresh, and full of taste. The staff were extremely warm and welcoming, making the entire dining experience even better. Highly recommended for anyone craving quality desi food with great service!
