The owner is from Delhi and he has managed to assembly good staff and place. My kashmiri friend took me there for the first time so that i could taste some Kashmiri cuisine. Ambiance is good. Service is also good. Tried rista, tabakmaaz and rice. The food was good and fresh. The rista balls were tasty but small sized compared to the ones i have had before. Tabakmaaz was a revelation and i quite liked the taste. Overall a good experience.

Hopped in one of afternoons last week for a late lunch around 4 pm. We wanted to have the lunch buffet for 42 dirhams but unfortunately we were late. But we had their buffet before, it is pretty nice and worth the money...
However we resorted to the Ala carte menu and ordered Purani Dilli ki mutton nihari, Chicken tikka butter masala, zeera aaloo, mixed veg along with butter naan, garlic naans and tandoori rotis.
The food was amazing but soon we realized that even four main courses are not sufficient for 6 people. That was disappointing!!!
So we ordered Chicken Jahanghir which was their dish of the day but that too came with just three pieces..
Food quality and taste was superb but the portions need to be improved and this restaurant can go upto 4.5 too.

When a friend invited for a party we did have their buffet it was decent , some authentic Delhi style food . The pulao was colourful and was tasting yum too. Also the kabaab she were decent , as it was a party couldn't eat much should go once more to try out
One of the best restaurant to have desi food, especially their Qourma and the shawerma .
Overall satisfied with service, food and quality.
Just had the Gulab Jamun. I must say it was the most perfect blend of texture and taste. Not too sweet, yet made me forget the mid-day heat. Strongly recommend.
Hi this is one of my favorite place to eat but i was disappointed with the service . The Air conditioning system was not working properly and We had to call for the waiters on two different occasion to place the order. All i can say the service is not as what it used to be.
I am from India and belongs to Delhi. As I am food lover I went to many food joints and taste there food.
The food of this restaurant is yummy tummy means the taste itself force u to have more . nice ambience service upto mark..kind hearted owner..
They have 2 outlets and I been to other outlet also same remarks for other one.😍😍😍😍😍
Visited Zaiqa yesterday on 15/07/2016. We had a 2for1 voucher, so we decided to give this place a try not expecting much.
Our first impression was dull as we felt the furniture and look of the restaurant was a bit worn out and the place needed renovations quite badly.
We ordered fish tikka and mutton seekh kebab for starters. The mutton seekh to our suprise was so delicious, juicy and succulent we loved it very much it was worth the 29.dh cost. Unlike we have had before. We really liked the fish as well it was cooked well.
For main course we had mutton nahari and chicken jhangiri. We really loved the nahari, it was full of taste and the mutton cooked so soft it melted in our mouth. The chicken was a bit undercooked though the gravy was tasty.
Overall I would give ZED 3.5/5
They need to work on the restaurant look.
I would highly recommend the mutton dishes. ZED knows their mutton.
We will come back here with our family:) as we have more 2for1 vouchers to use😀
Visited on 14 July for lunch with colleagues. Had a buffet lunch. The spread was kind of good. Had various choices of Tikka, Mutton Sheekh kabab. For main course I opted for mutton nihari with roti. I loved the nihari. Dessert was firni which was also good. Over all had a good experience for the amount we paid with a promotion coupon.
However the airconditioning system was not working properly.
Being a Delhiite, "Dilli wala khana" is something always close to my heart. Zaika E Dilli dies comp k eye satisfaction to repentance that feeling. The buffer spread us sumptuous and delectable. The biryani, mutton preparations, the rolls...what say even the vegetarian dishes are a "die for"!!! Would strongly recommend to all authentic Indian food lovers.
Awesome food. Tasty. Good attentive service who recommends well. Traditional food needs met. Loved the shwarma as well. Value for money. Yum biryani.
Ordered chicken biriyani for Friday lunch. Very tasty and entirely different from the usual stuff available in similar restuarants in Dubai. Chicken was well cooked and tasty. Rice was well flavoured and spicy.
Food is above average. Tried their buffet, though has very less options with veg food but they were courteous enough to give me options from the
A lá carte menu. I ordered Paneer Tikka Masala which was pretty good.
Avoid weekends for bad service.
Ordered butter chicken and mutton janhangiri was good and meat was tender. Eoti and naan was also good. Food severed hot and fresh inspite buffet available. Over all a good experience
Went for lunch at this place for first time. Ordered for butter chicken, jahangir mutton, zeera rice and dal fry. Food was good. My son absolutely lovely butter chicken. Service was good. Will definitely visit next time.
The shawarmas are nice and most of the dishes are quite delicious.
Forget his name but one of the waiters (tall guy) makes good suggestion (though can be pushy at times which is annoying) and has a memory of an elephant! Repeats your lengthy order without noting down any details on a notepad whilst also carrying out a conversation and making suggestions
Good place... was impressed with thr guy on the counter. .. He made sure we were enjoying the food.. Good Authentic Delhi cuisine... the buffet was good... A nice place for a foodie with a good appetite. .
Good place.. Value for money.. Must visit went with great expectations.. I would not not disappointed.. Will visit there once more for sure.. U should try it once..
Located in Qusais, Zaiqa e Dilli specializes in serving North Indian and Mughlai Cuisines from old Delhi. It has a good ambiance and quick service. The order placed was for their specialty, Shawerma with 24 spices, Chicken Biryani and Mutton Qorma. The Shawerma is a must for people who love spices and want their food to be flavorsome. The Biryani and Qorma were really up to the mark, both being rich in flavor and taste.
Overall, the experience at Zaiqa e Dilli was a great one. Good food, great service. Will definitely visit again to try their chaat counter.
Taste : 4/5
Ambiance : 3.5/5
Service : 4/5
Value for money : 4/5
Overall : 4/5
Visited it after hearing it on radio. Its an ok place. i dont understand they have Dilli as their name and they are serving Shawarma....why is that? unless i am mistaken and Shawarma has originated from that part of the world. The signature dishes are alright. prices are on the higher side, but i dont mind paying if the food is also upto par. maybe its the interior which has raised the prices. service is quite good and friendly.
@THE FOOD IS AWESOME👌👌...One should try chat with the real flavours of delhi👍👍😊😊😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
I always hears from my friends about dilli food and its specialty. I am from Kerala and got many frenz from Delhi with whom I have enjoyed the Delhi food.I had been to your restaurant too with them and your dilli ka mashoor shawarma is too tasty and yummy.Also all the chat items and mughlai chicken dishes too yummy.
good location and good ambience
Amazing food with authentic desi taste. Ambiance is reasonable (not lavish) but food is yummylicious. Highly recommended for all desi food lovers.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Just finished a dinner in Zaiqa e dilli, And i admit that almost after 5 years i had authentic qorma in dubai.
Dilli ka Mashoor shawarma: it's not a shawarma it's some thing more than a shawarma, being spicy food lover i love the taste, the softness, every bite was so delicious so juicy that you really think this the best thing in this restaurant... But the surprise is not over...
Mutton Qorma: The moment i took first bite I was transported back to my country at the time when the food is served in weddings. Aroma hmmm can't expressed in words and the taste authentic qorma will give 5 out of 5 must try. Will 100% come back to taste it. And if you want to deeply judge the taste try it with the garlic naan you wont regret it.
Biryani: it's look like a competition between biryani and qorma. Biryani is as well Cooked and deliciously flavored as qorma. Definitely going to try there mutton biryani.
Gajjar Halwa: winter treat i am righting this review while enjoying this winter treat properly blended not very sweet well cooked garnished with dry fruits. Welcome winter.
Zaiqa e Dilli i think is much better than over priced gazebo. Will try there Chinese and BBQ soon.
Thank you for the delicious food keep this taste.
In one word mutton sheek kabab 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👌 overall very nice and good food . Its very good dining for families.
Good good good 👍

The place to be for the daigh e korma and the bbq stuff. Evenly priced. Combos are the best deals you can have and portions are enough for two
Excellent food. The nihari is to die for, tried the Mutton Jahangiri which was excellent. Staff was friendly, and attentive to our needs! Would definitely recommend.
Opted for the lunch buffet which was truly an excellent spread of mouth-watering genuine 'purani Dilli-style' fare. The roghn gosht in particular was prepared with typically Dilli spices and had that distinct, authentic Mughlai flavour.
It is reasonably priced and the buffet has a nice variety of veg and non-veg dishes.
A must-go for serious food lovers...
awesome service!!! awesome food!!!
their qormas are awesome hot gulab jamun in buffet melts in your mouth and awesome firni!!
their buffet is really very good!!
Itz a good place to go with family. Their buffet is quite good. I like the lightings especially in nights.
There non - veg is good enough and its a nice place to go especially with family.
The service is really good enough and they make sure that the customer is really satisfied with the food quality.
One of the best shawarma, all the way Delhi and the malai tikkas are fab. The nihari was mouth watering too and i could not get enough of it.
My first time here and I loved the food. Decent interior and helpful staff were a welcoming sight. Dinner buffet priced at Aed 47 for someone like Cherry In Pink and myself is a great deal always. Loved everything across the selection. Biriyani was decent. Nihari, Shahi Paneer, Mutton Qorma and Malai Tikka where especially outstanding. Delhi ka Shawarma was a revelation. It was spicy, juicy and left me craving for more. One issue we both had was with Gulab Jamun. There was something off about it. It had a clumsy, lazy feel to it.
But all in all, a satisfactory experience and I will surely visit again.
And one last thing, it would have been nice to have a beverage like lassi included in the buffet to round off the experience.
Very delicious food we had today and first of all thanks to zomato for finding the restaurants which are near to our locations... Hatsofff👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It's an lovely place to enjoy with family....
Amazing food and great taste....
Very nice ambiance...
Friendly staff.....
Great experience!!!!!
Good place for buffet dinner but the menu is same constantly through day and night and days too.
Feel there should be some changes in the buffet menu, also feel the kind of advertisements done are not upto the mark with the taste of food. As the name say Zaiqa E Dilli, there are somethings which doesn't really makes me take the Zaiqa of Dilli but there is one thing to have there and it is their Dilli Shawarma.
I was at this place around 3-4 months ago but couldn't find the time to write a review. Had been planning to pay a visit for quite some time after hearing their radio ads and passing by many times.
It was a weekend and this place was crowded. Plus their seating is also very cramped up but that is probably the case with most of the desi restaurants anyway.
The food was really wonderful. Loved their Biryani and butter chicken! The mutton kebabs, chicken boti and fish were also nice. The Nihari was not up to the mark, Korma and Chicken Noorjahani were fine. Not having any choice in the roti was disappointing as were are used to a variety of Roti, naan and paratha options in buffets.
Overall the food was quite spicy but tasty.
The choices for salads and sweet dishes is also quite limited.
The popular Delhi Shawarma is not part of the buffet so couldn't try it. Will need to go back some time to try that.
Overall a good experience worth trying again.
we had great experience the food was too good and the service was great will definitely go on a regular outing. and will also recommend family and friends
Last night finally I decided to visit Zaiqa e Dili restaurant after hearing so much about them, I must say amazing is not the word...... Starting with their shahi mutton qorma, and mouth watering butter chicken tikka masala and super delicious chicken biryani the list is endless, Excellent service with good ambience and the best part is super economical price makes the buffet best in the UAE, talk about Mughlai food and Zaiqa e Dili is the place. ................
Im from delhi and i can say that their food is the closest to the authentic delhi food!! Like korma and nihari!! Biryani is decent!!
.........................................................…………...........
Nice desi ambience with friendly staff, and the authenticity of food being Indian stays right from the beginning till the end.. A must visit.
Zaika e Dilli experience had been great..
Specially the mutton korma and the shawrma is something to die for... 😉😉
Great hospitality and good ambiance is like iceing on the cake..😊😊😊
We enjoyed the meal thoroughly... The staff was helpful in catering to our veg only needs and made us feel special . The buffet spread was good and we also got an additional menu dish .. I would surely go back or order and recommend this place . Good value for money .
Amazing...
Good service, good food, good location, easy parking....
We tried the buffet and were not disappointed.
Would highly recommend anyone wanting to try some authentic north Indian cuisine
V nice food and i recommend specially Shahi qorma and chicken shawarma. The prices are also reasonable and staff is really nice and caring so ...
Excellent food.. the zaika is really of Delhi.. highly recommended. The buffet is very reasonably priced and the spread is very good too.. i definitely coming back for more.
Zaiqa to the core in all their dishes ..they keep up to their name..try out their Nihari, mutton biryani and rolls are awesome. That's my weekly menu.
