This is an excellent«out of the norm» spot that satisfies my pallet. One of the best dishes is the Chicken Hara Masala($ 7.99) with Garlic Naan($ 1.99) and Basmati rice. My husband tried the Friday Goat Special($ 11.99), the meat was so tender and flavorful. We are definitely repeat customers.

It is so great to come to Lawton on a Friday so I can get the goat special. I’ve had it with palak paneer and also with the mixed vegetables. I prefer the spinach dish. The naan is good. The lamb is spicy but good. It comes with rice but I skip it to save room for rice pudding(kheer) for dessert. Come give it a try.

Wish I had ordered more the first time I was here, almost drove back that night, but it was late. Making sure I order enough this time! Garlic Naan is great, Chicken Kabob was just a little spicy, just right though. Can’t wait to try the Chicken Hara Masala!

Only thing close to Indian food I found in Lawton so had to bring my parents. We are used to some really good Indian cuisine being from Los Angeles. This is more Pakistani cuisine but it was still good. For Lawton it’s definitely a 4 star restaurant and for sure one of the more flavorful places in the area. Compared to LA this would be more of a 3 star restaurant. FOOD Chicken Tikka Masala(3.5 stars): Not like the normal tikka masala red sauce but still pretty good. The chicken just didn’t taste fresh, but other than that, it’s a pretty solid dish with flavorful curry. I’m just comparing to what I’m used to eating, again for Lawton, it’s 4 star. Naan(3 stars): Definitely not made with a clay oven so it lost the texture I love, but still good. Eggplant-Baingan Aloo(3.5 stars): More flavor than the mixed vegetable dish. Mixed Vegetable Curry –Sabzi Salan(3 stars): Tastes like the inside of a samosa. Needed more flavor and texture to it. Service(5 stars) Very nice owners. Atmosphere Clean and small, but doesn’t get very busy so it’s a good sized restaurant.

We were so disappointed when we found no Indian restaurants here in town. But it’s as close as we can get here in lawton. It’s a bit mom and pop-y but I would definitely recommend the Friday special: goat curry. It wasn’t great but it’s the only option in town. They could go up in the spicey department but I think the majority of lawton prob couldn’t do real Indian spice levels. Something about their ice tea was wonderful, but it takes a minute cus it was made to order. If you are craving Indian and stuck in Lawton, check it out.

I absolutely love the days when my boy decides we need a good cup of freshly brewed chai. It means we get to head to Zaiqa for a relaxed meal. There is nothing fast about this food. It is comfort food, start to finish, with delicious tea, chewy naan bread, and chicken cooked in an amazing array of spices. Last night I had the Chicken Korma which has garlic and onions in a creamy sauce. I also had a side dish of Palak and Paneer, which is spinach, spiced with cumin and garlic, finished with a swirl of goat cheese. My boy had Beef Kabob which he wrapped in the warm buttered naan. We also had an order of the vegetable rice, which is also buttered and is seasoned with cumin and other spices. I could not help but order my favorite appetizer here, the Samosa Chaat. This is a standard veggie samosa, cut into pieces and then served with extra veggies and two types of sauce. It could easily be a meal by itself, but is priced just a dollar more than the samosas on their own. We also ordered a pot of their delicious chai. This is not a mass produced powdered blend. This is a heavily spiced black tea, served hot and creamy, with sugar on the side. They will be happy to make this for you to go, as well. Just realize that each cup is brewed to order, and takes about 10 minutes to produce. The restaurant is small and sparse. Five tables with little in the way of decorations, though there is a television playing what I assume are Pakistani movies and soap operas. The volume is low, and it is not obtrusive. Other than that, bring a book or someone who’s company you enjoy, because the food arrives at a relaxed pace. The couple who owns and operates Zaiqa are happy to make a to go order for you as well, and I know many people who call their order in and take it home. I’ve enjoyed talking to the couple, and appreciate sipping on chai as I wait for my meal, so we generally eat at the restaurant. Order the chai!

Wow! Never had Pakistani food. Now I want to move there! This food was great. See the pictures for what we had. Naan bread. Yum. My favorite bread now. Like pita but so soft and yummy Clicken tikka. Boneless chicken marinated in yogurt sauce and spices then chargrilled. I loved it Appetizer was samosa chaat. Chickpeas with sweet AND spicy flavored Next time. That is my meal So flavorful and different from one dish to the next it was amazing. The owner was very nice. It’s a mom and pop joint. After all of that food and leftovers it was only twenty five. We could have gotten out on twenty or less but wanted to try an appetizer. We will definitely be going back

One of my absolute favorite places for takeout food in Lawton. We grabbed dinner here about once a month when Sabah’s was open here, and we were devastated when Sabah’s closed. Thankfully, it was only a little while until the doors opened again as Zaiqas. The menu is the same as it was before, which was great to see. Our staple order is Karahi chicken for the wife and chicken hara masala for me. I normally go with garlic naan and the wife with basmati rice. If you’ve not eaten here yet, you are missing out. Do yourself a favor and go. If you’re new to Pakistani food, don’t worry about it, just go. The one thing they could improve here is the dine-in experience. There almost never seems to be more than one or two tables seated here, and it makes eating there a little sedate. Although the décor has gone up a bit since our first dine in experience, it lacks a little charm. A little music and a plant or two would go a long way. But since we have gotten takeout on all but our first time eating here, it doesn’t affect our enjoyment of the tasty, tasty meals.

This is one of my favorite places in Lawton. Small place in a little strip of shops, but it comes up big in flavor! The employees here are wonderful and they really care about their food. We’ve had the chicken biryani, chicken tikka marsala and some tandoor kebabs so far and don’t regret a single order. The sides are great too. If you are in need of a little spice in your life I would highly recommend giving them a try!

My first time to eat here. I have got to give high praises to the owners Jameel & Zareen. The place is very clean. They happily answered all our questions with this being our first visit. The orders were promptly delivered to the table piping hot and very pleasing to the eye. Everything thing looked very fresh. We had the Beef & Chicken Seekh Kabab’s, Garlic Naan, Chicken Biryani, Baingan Aloo, and Aalookeema. I’ve got to say with every bite from each plate it was a true taste orgasm! The spice blends and flavors were so delectable. I’m definitely coming back to eat here often. Not a single complaint to be uttered from us. Lawton has such a wide variety of tasty restaurants and Zaiqa is one of its stars. Highly recommend you give it a try if you have not done so by now. –Assalam Alaikum! :-)
