Zyka: The Taste | Indian Restaurant | Decatur

The first thing that stands out is the value; the prices are incredibly affordable compared to other Indian restaurants in the area. The portion sizes and food quality at this price point are truly unmatched. On top of that, the staff was friendly and efficient. The appetizers and Biryani were definitely the highlights of the meal!

Zyka used to be a great place for Indian cuisine, but unfortunately the quality has declined significantly. Prices have remained high, yet the food quality is no longer acceptable. On New Year’s Eve 2025, my family stopped by to pick up food on our way home, and it turned into a complete food disaster. The biryani was excessively greasy and unappetizing, and the chicken kabob was undercooked. We were genuinely concerned about getting sick and couldn’t finish the meal. This experience was extremely disappointing, especially given Zyka’s reputation in the past. Sadly, I don’t think I will ever return.

I genuinely appreciate the quality of the food the flavors are always excellent, and the staff is very cooperative and respectful. I truly enjoy coming to this place because the service and overall experience are usually great. However, I was disappointed with the quantity and quality of the mutton in the biryani priced at $16.99. The rice portion is good, but there were only four small pieces of mutton. This has happened the last 2–3 times as well. On top of that, the pieces contain very little meat and are mostly bones. I completely understand that mutton is expensive, but as a customer, I don’t feel I am receiving good value for the price. I am attaching the images for reference. I really like this place and the staff, which is why I wanted to share this feedback respectfully and honest

Heard their biryanis are great. But it was sub par. Mutton biryani was good but chicken biryani and chicken tikka masala were quite disappointing, lacking flavour. They have haleem in the menu but said that they wont serve it always. Ras malai was good. And for some reason they’re serving in a very small paper plates. Having to ask extra plates was uncomfortable, cause how are we gonna eat out of a fully stuffed plate? Lots of room for improvement since it’s in prime area as well. It’s self service, people working there are prompt and ambience was alright.

I recommend the vegetable Samosas, flavorful. I also ordered the chicken 65 which actually is tender chicken, but a little spicy. The naan bread is authentic! I definitely will return and try different dishes.
