Zaika Fun Dining | Club Aquaria — Restaurant in Mumbai

Zaika crave, Borivali (West)

❖ My Recommendations- • Melon ball(Mock tail) • Burnt garlic Chicken soup (Soup) • Butter garlic prawns(Starters) • Fish Tikka(Starter) • Rogan josh with choice of Indian bread(Main course) • Sizzling Brownie(Dessert)

❖ Location- located in between link road and s.v. road of borivali near ST Lawrence s. (4/5)

❖ Ambience- A huge place I must say, got big club along with banquets, resto kind of bar and a restaurant known as zaika crave. You will get big picture as soon as you enter in the dining area of the restaurant. Lighting very nice looks elegant. Resto bar is adjacent to the restaurant with few TV. Screens. (4.5/5)

❖ Food and Beverage- Menu is really lengthy and you can get all your craving satisfied here at Zaika crave for sure. It consists of north Indian, Chinese, continental cuisines serving in a fine way. Bar menu is also really nice where you can get good cocktails and straight drinks too. Food menu is detailed with course wise and cuisine wise. Though they serve Chinese, continental but their north Indian food stands out I fell. Each dish was flavourful and can say authentic enough. Mocktails were really nice and had great variety in it. The only thing is it had too much of ice in every drink.(4.5/5) Mocktails- • PERU CHILLY- A perfect blend of guava juice, lemon juice and a hint of tobacco in it. Rim of glass was covered with chilli powder to give more spicy touch.(4/5)

• FIRST KISS- A mix taste of pineapples, strawberry and cranberry juice with light pink colour drink. Nice and smooth mocktail who loved their drink sweetish in taste.(4.5/5)

• MELON BALL- Drink made with sprite, watermelon andsweetness of lichi. Really refreshing drink giving a perfect punch.(5/5)

Food- • BURNT GARLIC CHICKEN SOUP- Delicious soup garnished with burnt garlic and made with chicken stock, carrots, baby corn, pak choy, chicken chunks and lots of burnt garlic. Super consistency I must say.(5/5)

• BASIL PRAWNS (Starter) - Tiger prawns (Tail on) tossed in chopped onions, garlic, spring onions along with mix pepper diamonds and basil. It was greenish in colour but hardly could taste in basil in that dish.(3/5)

• BUTTER GARLIC PRAWNS- I must say, it was the dish of the evening. Fresh prawns (Tail on) tossed in butter, generous amount of chopped garlic, dash of lemon juice and parsley. Seasoning was spot on. I strongly recommend.(5/5)

• ROGAN JOSH WITH CHEESE GARLIC NAAN (Main course)- opting for Indian main course was a perfect decision I felt. Rogan josh had good Rogan and tasted excellent with garlic flavour. Mutton pieces were nicely cooked. Cheese garlic naan was again a wonderful combination along with Rogan josh. (4.5/5)

• CARAMEL CUSTARD(Dessert)- Super soft custard made and topped with caramel syrup and a cherry. Custard was really soft and nice. Must order.(5/5)

• SIZZLING BROWNIE(Dessert)- Who don’t love this dish if they have a sweet tooth? A perfect soft brownie topped with vanilla ice cream scoop and drizzles of chocolate sauce, must say perfect ending to our meal.(5/50

❖ To sum up- North Indian food and dessert were winner for me in zaika crave. Flavours were perfect and super authentic . Make sure you keep a place in your stomach for delicious desserts of zaika crave. Service standards they should really look upon to be honest, I felt there are many senior members in service but very few juniorswho can clear the tables, help guests with small small things were missing but yes can be understood as it was Saturday evening. I am sure this place will be really crowded all the time as very few places in nearby area have this kind of high end restaurants. . I will visit them again for sure for few of the cocktails and other food dishes which they have in...

A sophisticated fine dine restaurant located inside the premises of Club Aquaria is a gem of this place. Finely laid out seatings comprising of cushion seating facing towards the lush green lawns and casual seating bringing the ambience a nice fine dine touch.

Things we tried here :

Peru Chilly (Mocktails) : It has guava juice , fresh lime juice and tobasco sauce to add a spice to it. Overall , the taste was very nice.

Bartender Special (Mocktails) : This mocktail is a combination of orange , mango & strawberry. The flavours came out pretty good and it was a delight to see those mixtures of colors.

Melone Ball (Mocktails) : It has watermelon syrup along with pinch of litchi syrup mixed with sprite. Taste was awesome and is a must drink.

Green Mermaid (Mocktails) : Kiwi crush , mint syrup , fresh lime juice...this combination is always the best to opt. The mint was appropriate with equally balanced kiwi syrup.

Paneer Hill Top (Tandoor Se) : Paneer cubes marinated in pahadi spices giving the pure essence of north indian style. Paneer cubes were nice and soft.

Onion Panking (Oriental Appetizer) : Something different dish! It had spring greens mixed with chopped onions and packed with a layer of rice flour. It was bit spicy and was accompanied by schezwan sauce.

Peri Peri Paneer (Global Appetizer) : A disappointment! Small paneer cubes tossed in peri peri spices gravy. Although the peri peri masala wasnt that good as we expected.

Paneer Curls (Global Appetizer) : Sweet n Sour combination of gravy tossed paneer cubes were too good to taste buds. Presentation of the dish was awesome. It had that achari taste.

BBQ Paneer (Global Appetizer) : Paneer cubes barbequed over the grill and added tandoor spices was nice. Overall , a dish to be tried.

Paneer Bruschetta (Global Breads) : Regular bruschetta breads topped with olives , paneer , bell pepper and onion. Nothing extraordinary , but taste was good.

Paneer Bhuta Palti Masala (Indian Mains) : This sabzi was a combination of almost every exotic vegetables one can think of , starting with babycorns , bell peppers , olives , mushroom , cottage cheese and all these veggies and mixed and tossed in their bhuta palti masala which was spicy. A must try!

Butter Laccha Paratha & Butter Garlic Naan (Indian Breads) : Laccha parathas were crispy and nice. No complaints! Butter garlic naan was also good with ample amount of garlic and butter.

Choco Lava (Dessert) : Hot dark chocolate syrup surrounded by chocolate bread was so tempting. The vanilla ice cream was also good to taste and the combination made the dessert taste to other level.

Tiramisu (Dessert) : One of the best dish over here! Highly recommended! ❤️ Cheese cake mixed with coffee pudding layers which contained a slight pinch of rum. The taste was marvelous and this dessert is worth winning hearts of all.

Gobble Rank : 4/5 Ambience : 4.5/5 Service : 4/5 Value...
