Zaiaka

CP REVIEW: While Zaiaka’s offerings consist mostly of tried-and-true classics like chicken korma, and channa masala, the owner Meena Kumar’s personal selection includes a few dishes rare in local Indian establishments, such as malai kofta (paneer with mixed vegetables) and lamb jalphrezi. “Zaiaka” means “flavor” in Hindi, and for the most part, this bright, cheerful dining establishment lived up to its name.
