Lauren Soudermett

Exspencive as hell but delicious. Shame its so much for the buffet or if go more. More exspencive than Vancouver even.

Christopher Turney (Kitsune Obsessed)

This food is great. First time eating proper Indian food. Delicious.

Phillip Anderson

Food really good but service sub par. Table of 4 and two tables of 2, never offered water when sat down and took about 20 mins for meal.

Lene Lindstrom

Wonderfully authentic and delicious!

Emma Claire

Although the food was really good, it took about an hour and 15 minutes from the point we ordered to when we received even just our appetizers. It was about one hour and 40 minutes until we received our mains. I know it was a busy Sunday night, and although our server was very kind, we arrived and ordered well before any other tables in our section. The table next to us arrived and ordered after us. They ate, paid, and left before we even got our appetizers which was frustrating. We would have really appreciated an explanation why the food took twice as long as others in our section. I assume they forgot to punch in our order, but receiving an honest reason and a discount would have made the wait more bearable. We totally understand mistakes happen, we have worked in the service industry before, but just at least some more transparency would have been nice!

Brooke O

The food is delicious! A gem in Townsite.

Anmol Saluja

Worst kind of a food and service was given to me in this restaurant. The food didn't seem to be freshly prepared and the servers were rude and negligent towards their duty. The prices are also very unreasonable when compared to what the place offers and the ambience is also very dim. Go only if you have extra money and time to waste for nothing.

Clarence Li

This is definitely a gem in Townsite. We were really impressed with the food here. We tried 2 different kind of homemade naan (garlic and coconut) nd they're simply out of this world. They are just as enjoyable on their own without dipping into a sauce. We were also very happy with the Mango Curry Lamb and Curry Mussels we ordered.

Matthew Packard

Best Indian food I've had in years! Really quick and friendly service too.

Dallin Wood

Good food,large portions,and not too busy

Adam Matheny

Great food and excellent service. The coconut curry lamb is incredible!

Shay Alde

The food is quite lovely and the service is very pleasant. The goat curry is quite tender and delicious. The buffet is a great option, but for two people for dinner, with two non-alcoholic drinks, it cost us over $75.

Harmony Thiessen Art

I have eaten in a lot of East Indian restaurants but Royal Zayka surprised me with wonderful flavors and great service. I loved the cucumber salad, the chana masala and OMG the Palak Paner was perfect! Highly recommend this place for a great meal to any visitor.

Mike Van Aert

I spent over a month in India recently and the food I’ve had at Royal Zayka has been as good or better than anything I had in India, definitely authentic and I recommend this place. The menu is extensive but the chicken curry and plain naan bread are so tasty that I haven’t tried too many other dishes. Chicken Briyani was also wonderful and I’ve been there with a group and everyone loved it. Make sure to specify how much spice you want.

Shayne Forster

Always love coming back here. Delicious food, great service.

Garrett Gosselin

Edi Gerrard

Butter chicken is superb!!

Robin Gibson

Wonderful curries, their naan and meat is cooked in a legit wood-fired tandoori oven. Have never ordered something I didn't like.

Kathryn Prost

The Authentic Indian Cuisine at the Royal Zayka in Powell River is to DIE FOR!!! This restaurant is unique and beautiful. The decor is fabulous and the menu varied and delicious! The Royal Zayka's dedication to India is impressive! Even the cutlery is shipped directly from New Delhi, India. Vegetarian options are also available and represent a good variety. If you're looking for a wonderful experience in authentic Indian food the Royal Zayka in Powell River is it!!! AND another terrific quality we discovered : English is spoken here, making the service exemplary!!

Mark Hamilton

Amazing waitress staff and cooks, food is consistently exactly what you want. Management could use some work.

Rob Richards

One of the best Indian food restaurants that I have been to in a long time. A new favorite that I had not known before: Methi Mushroom Malai, it was fabulous! The buffet is also well presented and kept fresh.

Tamara St. Luke

By far thee best restaurant in Powell River!! So tender and flavorful and filled with love! It's like you're being welcome into a family home dinner.

Nice restaurant

Karanpreet Puri

Nice and friendly staff.. great food & veru good service

Shein Wang

First time visit was Best food ever ❤ must try . Service n food was too good.

Noah B

I thought the food and the service were both good but the pricing is a bit off base. A butter chicken meal for $24 is pretty absurd, especially when they're only giving you 6 chunks of tandoori chicken. I won't be going there for lunch ever again, that's for sure. Perhaps buffet night would be the only way to get your moneys worth.

Ted Thomson

Always great meals.

Fidel Fogarty

Awesome Indian food

Ashit Burman

Synthetic Indian cuisine within reasonable rates in Powell River

Olga Stolbova

Cole Stewart

Food was amazing as always! Last time we went though the lights were very bright and the space was a bit chilly. Wasn't the cosy romantic experiane we were hoping for on a night out.

Suzanne Saccani

Love the food here

Bailey Paul

People should definitely try the chicken tikka it is mouth watering. The staff was very delightful and the desert that we tried was amazing. I think it was gulab jamun. Definitely recommend it.

Ashley Baker

Excellent service, the food was mouth watering, specially the paneer korma. We will definitely come again.

Brock Knudsen

Nice place, great food as spicy as you like it.

Mark Lerner

Great food and service

Ward Graham

The food is too filling, you can't eat enough to enjoy all the items on the buffet. Great evening. Thanks

Jim Sandrey

It's Powell River people don't come here for the food.

Rob Gauthier

Excellent food with a very reasonable price. Some of the best take out you can get in town.

Bobby Fetta

Just left due to the waitress being usless. Went out to enjoy my Wifes BIRTHDAY and asked for a high chair for my baby. I had to go find it as this task i guess is not in her job description. Then when i asked the waitress how it worked she just said she didnt know and walked away... Its not safe for babies as my son nearly went through the bottom of it. Oh yeah and the time before we ordered to go and they got our order totally wrong... I am also assuming all the 5stars are from people who have never eaten indian food outside of powell river... Anyway iguanas saved the day

Shannon Terry

Royal zayka is one of the best indian restaurant in b.c. The food was very flavorful and the service was stunning. I tried the paneer methi malai and i loved it. The environment was amazing and specially the indian songs that were playing. We will definitely come again:)

Debbie Hodges

Lovely food and accommodating staff

Robert George

Food wasn't awful, but a serving of palaki paneer and naan was$18.00, no rice, nothing. I was told that a plate of rice, 2 entrees and naan would be $45.00. Seriously!!! The naan and Palak paneer was tasty, but small. Hard to recommend!

Lise Broome

We went there while visiting Powell River. One of us required gluten free. Nearly the whole menu could be gluten free. Our table had a number of dishes - Samosas, Veggie Pakora, Butter Chicken, Lamb Curry, Palek Masala, Basmati Rice, Naan, Chai Tea. Wow! Just wow! It was delicious. I live in a city with a lot of Indian restaurants, and this little restaurant easily made some of the best Indian food I've had. It's pricey, but worth the treat.

Erik Reid

Consistently excellent food. Great staff.

Roie Tal

(Translated) Great Indian food. Wonderful waitress service. We took 6 different servings and everyone was happy. There is free parking and sea views. (Original) אוכל הודי מצוין. שירות נפלא של המלצרית. לקחנו 6 מנות שונות וכולם היו מרוצים. יש חניה בחינם ונוף לים.

Jordan Kjaer

Amazing food and service!

Deb Alore

We happened upon the Royal Zayka while exploring the Old Townsite of Powell River. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals - the vegetarian lunch special and the Bollywood Fish & Chips. The lunch special was a very large meal with 3 curried selections, salad, rice and ample naan. The Fish was seasoned and battered and the home cut fries were also seasoned and were served with a tasty sauce. This meal for two was under $35 (with 15% tip). The restaurant maintained Pandemic protocols and offered the option of covered outdoor seating. The service was very good and though the building was 'rustic' it was clean.

Eva Easterbrook

Amazing food and service, best Indian food ive ever had. Simran was our server, she was fantastic in every way

Strmbrngr

Was going there because it was pretty good for a bit. started going a lot, food and timing was getting worse through time. Last time I went there (last week) they told me it would be an hour and a half and they made me wait even longer when I got there. took it back to my place and it tasted rushed and not very good. Rice portions are also pretty small small

Johnathan kobler

Vikas Gaur

Truely Indian flavour, i have tried lot of Indian restaurants but i must say this is best so far. Owners were so friendly and they allowed us to dine in during their closing hours which was the best. I will surely comeback. Highly recommand this place. People should come in and give it a try if you really wanna know the authentic Indian flavour.

Cheryl Borgfjord

Great atmosphere, wonderful staff, food was fantastic

Philippe-Alexandre Faure

Delicious and not expensive. Great option in Powell River.

Rakesh Singh

Great food friendly service and beautiful Restaurant

Joel K

I have been craving the butter chicken sauce and the garlic nan bread for a long time!! It was even better than I remember. Only come home a few days a year and this place will always be my first choice to eat out. Delicious, authentic, great service and atmosphere! All around amazing.

Divyansh Saluja

Worst service and worst quality

Colin Shillabeer

Probably the best Indian food we have ever eaten. The quality of the food was extraordinary, both in ingredients and flavour, and the service was equally good. We would highly recommend the salted lassi, the vegetarian samosas, the butter chicken and the lamb curry. All were delicious!

Ruchi Arora

Very tasty...

Martin Emig

Good food, good service, wonderful atmosphere

Terry Nemeth

My wife and I have been fortunate to be able to travel many times to south Asia and have eaten at many east Indian restaurants.. As surprising as it is, the best meal by far, is the lunch we had today in this beautiful place in Powell River BC. Anyone that is either fortunate enough to live in Powell River or just visiting, needs to experience the perfect, authentic Indian cuisine that they serve.. We will definitely be coming back..

Anne Salfi

Best smorg. Best coconut rice pudding ever. Great service.

Sandy Her

Delicious food! Great service. We ordered the chef's special platters to share between 3 people and it was just the perfect amount of food. The chef's platter comes with 2 meat and 1 veggie curry, salad, rice and tandoori chicken. Everything was exceptional. So flavorful and perfect level of spice. I definitely recommend this place and will definitely be a regular.

Pushpa Negi

Best indian restaurant in powell river

Julian Francis

Amazing food

Kimchi 64

Super happy we chose to stay at the Old Courthouse Inn as we were able to order takeout from Royal Zayka which is literally 100 metres away! The vegetable briyani is one of the best rice dishes I’ve ever tasted, and the chickpea curry was excellent. Coconut stuffed naan for dessert was pretty amazing. Stuffed naans were a bit messy to eat; nevertheless they were both delicious. My only criticism is they neglected to ask me what spice level we wanted the curry so we got mild, when we would have ordered medium. Will definitely come back and would love to try their buffet. Powell River became a better place to us because of this restaurant!!

Mary Black

Best food in town.
