MUMBAI ZAIQA RESTORAN

I was disappointed with my overall experience at this restaurant. My first visit was at around 9:00 a.m. because I wanted to try their breakfast menu. Google showed that the restaurant was open, but when I arrived, it was closed. I decided to give them another chance and visited again in the evening. There was only one woman working in the kitchen. When I asked about the menu, she told me that almost everything was finished and that only chicken biryani was available. Since I was very hungry, I ordered it. To be fair, the chicken biryani was actually quite good. On my third visit, around 2:00 p.m., a young man was working there. He told me the kitchen was not ready yet while another person was inside cleaning. I found it strange that nothing on the menu was available at that time of day, except, once again, the chicken biryani. He was polite and served me the biryani, which was good. I even asked for his WhatsApp number so I could place an order before coming in the future. A few days later, I placed an order through WhatsApp. When I arrived to pick it up, I could hear the owner shouting from the dining area, complaining about the size of a paratha that had been prepared. When it was time to pay, he charged me more than the menu price. I pointed out that the menu listed the paratha at 120 lira, but he replied that they had made it bigger, so the price was higher. I found that explanation unprofessional, especially since I had not requested a larger portion and was not informed of any price change beforehand. While the chicken biryani was consistently good, the restaurant’s management, lack of menu availability, inconsistent operating hours, and unexpected price increases left a negative impression. Running a restaurant requires professionalism, clear communication, and transparent pricing, and unfortunately, my experience fell short in those areas. For hygiene reasons, please ensure the washroom door remains closed to prevent flies from moving between the restroom and the kitchen.

Best Desi food specially biryani and Tea is Fantastic

Seriously Good Desi Food, like really good, I would not say its a five star restaurant but believe me it’s Fresh and made with love, real home taste not like a restaurant had breakfast there every day of my visit in Istanbul. Tried different Desi restaurants but all the same as in Germany, no Soul. Really recommend anyone who misses the homeland and want to eat Good Food for a very!!!!! good price 🫡🫡🫡🫡

الاكل لا بأس به مقبول نوعا ما. وكان ساخن الاستقبال والترحيب جيد

The restaurant itself has been named into Punjab Istanbul Restaurant. They have two branches now one in taksim, one in aksaray. The food was great. You guys have to try their chicken tikka pizza. I ordered the small but stil couldn't finish the whole thing. The owner, staff and everyone were super friendly, great customer service, great food. 10/10.

Tasteful food. Both vegetarian and none veg can eat. Spicy food but if you tell them in advance then they can adjust. A little wait is needed as they prepare after taking order. Service is very nice and staff is polite and courteous. Small place so you may want to reserve before going and even ask them to cook something special for you before you reach to lessen the wait time. Very near to metro of Aksaray and even 10 minutes walk from Yanikapı metrostation. Recommended for try.

Too much expensive... Tasteless don't waste money... They don't have complete menue.. they only have butter chicken which is tasteless

Awesome pakistani food

Çok lezzetli

Today I went to Bombay Taste Restaurant with my family. The food there was very good and the food was freshly prepared and tasty. If you look at the price there, the price was very reasonable compared to other hotels and the taste was unmatched.

It was good before price wise, now its becoming very bad, with high prices and small portion, paid 500 for chicken biryani plate (only one small piece of chicken leg) paid 500 for chicken karahi (2 pieces in a small portion full of oil), there was no chef in the kitchen, the cashier was basically the chef who MICROWAVED THE BIRYANI. Literally the biryani was microwaved the same biryani we paid 500 for. Even though i used to visit, this was probably my last time. Very disappointing!

Worst place for a human to eat. They literally Microwaved the food nothing was fresh. Over priced for one plate of biryani that doesn’t even have 2 pieces of chicken and niharis as well. Literally the food was microwaved. I will make sure this place is reported to concerned health and municipal Authorities in Istanbul. The owner was present and couldn’t even answer to our concerns.

We have been in istanbul for 5 days, we were missing our desi food. We found this restaurant, really nice food. Great hospitality. Would highly recommend.

Really calm and cozy place. The food was delicious as well! Perfect place to feel like home.

Life changing experience, almost cried 10/10 Thank you BISC Pakistan

The food was fabulous. Loved the Biryani, thanks to Pakistani Community at Bahcesehir university for organizing the event. We genuinely enjoyed the vibes and food.

Best biryani I’ve had in Istanbul
