Zaika House Of Kebabs Shawarma - Matina

Found a hidden gem in Marikina!! Pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Place looks small from the outside but they actually have a spacious air conditioned room inside. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Food was authentic Pakistani cuisine without hurting your wallet. Shawarma rice had real sliced beef, just wished they had more sauce on it. Then also ordered mutton curry, which had the perfect level of spice, not too much and not too little, with really tender lamb. Just be careful on the small bits of bone. Their lassi drinks were also great, real yogurt drinks. Portions are not massive, but for the cost and quality you’re getting, I think it’s appropriate. Will definitely come back.

Best place for kebab lovers, friendly staffs, well lit place, clean, and the best pita bread, served hot and folded, perfect softness and thick, chicken kebabs are great too, the beef kebab was meaty compared to others. Will go back again soon

For lovers (and even non-enthusiasts! of Indian cuisine, this underrated resto will surely satisfy your tastes. Recently went here with friends and found everything we ordered so exceptional. For starters, here's how I found each dish: Pappad — thin, crunchy fried disks of flour. Great appetizer with a serving of their special sauce. Chicken biryani — a dish made for sharing. Every bite's full of seasoning and aroma, an explosion of tastes. Each spice was acquired carefully, from the anise seeds to the cinnamon barks. Pita bread garlic sauce (or every sauce here, tbh — there's that subtle crunch in every bite of pita that is complemented by the well-blended garlic sauce that has almost the same texture as a yoghurt's. Chicken tikka masala — not your usual butter chicken! The tomato gravy is so creamy that I can't help but drizzle everything with it. The chicken is soft and juicy too. Tandoori chicken — if you want something grilled then you can't go wrong with this one. In each bite, you can taste the yoghurt marinade and the spices. Dubbed as one of their best! Honestly, with these dishes I've tried, I'm excited to try more of their menu—especially the lassi! More than the food, the ambiance is also great. Very clean area. With the decors and lighting, it is sure to evoke some unique, quaint feeling towards Indian dining. Definitely coming back.

Great food and service!!! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu, to be honest. My friends and I ordered different items and everything was just good. Place was really clean also.

Amazing food, as always! Must try is the chicken biryani and the lassi drink!
