Immensely popular with families, fellow foodies, corporate teams, Zaica is a budget-friendly place where you can feast to your heart’s content for a minimal price.

Zaica follows a classic theme in its décor. It’s designed in a very typical fine dining manner which is mostly comprised of a timeless décor. The look is soft and fetching, an effect created by pale walls and bright lighting. General sitting space shows-off a warm wooden finish in low hung beams and section walls. Small crystal chandeliers throws cheerful glow all over the room, lighting the dark corners. Get off your feet by slipping into the side booths of jute covered chairs which compliments the wooden finishes perfectly. If you are part of a large party then ask your server to lead you towards their private dining area. It can easily house a party of twelve comfortably. Talk with your dinner companions in peace and let Zaica’s attentive staff take care of all your needs.
