Royal Zayka — Restaurant in Powell River

Good to VG buffet on a Sunday night. BTW when I called to see iof they still had the buffet on Sundfays I was told thatthey now have the buffet Friday, Saturday and Sundays starting. In the response from the owner below he stated that is not the case and the buffets are only on Sundfay.

Not as many choices as other such buffets in other areas, but a nice selection nevertheless. There was a small salad bar with a nice assortment of condiments and a very tasty coconut pudding desert. The pappadam was not at all crispy as it normally is. The garlic naan was very good, fortunately.

There were a few tasty vegetarian dishes, a beef dish and butter chicken which was quite good. The tandoori chicken was excellent but there were only legs available. No white meat at all.

The onion pakora (I think that is what they were - fried fritters) were not great and might have been reheated. Not sure.

Overall, not five stars but good solid food and a decent value if you have the appetite. I will...

The restaurant has ample seating area, many tables can seat 5-10 people. Decor was a bit old school but didn’t care much. Liked the cutlery and glasses. Service was very quick and food was so delicious. We got malai kofta, shahi paneer, garlic naan, chat papri and they were all delicious. Serving size was just enough. They even accommodated some modifications to the mocktails we ordered.

Overall, great restaurant to have in Powell River and...

Royal Zayka should be the place that goes straight to your thinking process when you want Indian food because Royal Zayka is the go-to Indian place in Powell River. The coconut curry has an amazing flavour, a flavour so great you can’t comprehend the deliciousness. If you can’t handle spice well, you won’t have a problem coming here because there are six different spice levels, from mild to extra hot. The methi malai was an amazing curry with a sweet and incredible taste. Don’t forget to get the flavourful chai tea afterwards. I didn’t get the samosas, but I have been told that they are amazing. So next time you want Indian...
