Our search for north Indian cuisine in Indiranagar landed us at Zaica on a sunday afternoon. Located on the 100ft road above staples, it has sufficient seating but it's always better to come with reservation on a weekend. The decore is simple and not very eye catching.
They serve buffet as well as a la carte, though the emphasis was more on the buffet. We had a look, but didn't find it very interesting so opted to order instead.
We started off with makai motia seekh and reshmi murgh tikka. Surprisingly both looked quite similar, but taste of the starters was different. The kababs were not dry and had a juicy texture.
We had some fresh lime soda along with the starters and that was quite nice and refreshing.
For mains we tried the maheer paneer, which was triangles of paneer stuffed with green peas in a nice tomato gravy which was a bit bland, but flavorful. The dal bukhara, was black dal but not really the authentic dal makhani as it was not cooked long enough and texture was not creamy as expected.
Murgh do pyaza had soft pieces of chicken and it tasted nice because of the gravy it was made in.
We had the gravy with amritsari kulcha which was filled sufficiently and was soft and well baked, as were the tandoori rotis.
The pricing is justified for Indiranagar standards and service was quite good considering we were with a noisy baby, the staff took extra care to make sure we were comfortable.
It was not a memorable meal by any standard but the restaurant can be visited again if we happen to be in that area. Not clicked any photos also as there was no visual appeal about the food as such.
I'll rate it as 3.5/5 now.
