Indian Zayeka - Indien Restaurant

Tried the lunch buffet at Indian Zayeka (29 CHF on Saturday, 25 CHF weekdays). I had a mix of salads including coleslaw, corn, chole chaat, cucumber-tomato, carrot, and paneer. The starter was veg pakoda. For mains, there was veg pulao, naan, chole masala, and palak paneer, served with raita. Finished off with fruit salad and aamras for dessert. Buffet spread: 3 starters (1 veg, 2 non-veg), 3 rice options, 2 veg curries, 4 non-veg curries, naan and papad, plus desserts. Vegetarian choices are limited, but it’s great value for non-veg lovers. Garlic naan costs extra, so wait for them to change the basket with fresh breads and serve to eat—it’s worth it hot. Beverages also cost extra; some reviews mention staff forcing you to order, but in my case no one insisted. They also didn’t restrict me from bringing my own water, which helped avoid bottled water costs. Service is polite, and you can sit inside or on the terrace. À la carte also available. Reservation recommended.

If you want authentic, savory chole bhature, baingan bharta or any other Northern Indian dish, I greatly recommend this place. Atmosphere is joyful, ensured by a caring staff, and food is delicious. Good prices as well!

Such a lovely experience! The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic Indian flavors that instantly reminded me of home. What truly made it special was the kindness and hospitality of the staff. As students traveling on a budget, we ordered just one lassi to share, and to our surprise, they brought us two — the second one completely free. It’s rare to find places that are not only affordable but also genuinely student-friendly and generous. If you're in Lausanne and craving flavorful Indian cuisine with heartwarming service, don’t miss Indian Zayeka. Highly recommended! 🌸🙏

We are regular customers at Indian Zayeka and always enjoy the food and service. The dishes are full of flavor, fresh, and beautifully prepared, with a wide variety to choose from. The staff are warm, friendly, and make us feel at home every time. The taste is authentic, and the quality you get is excellent value for money. We often bring friends and colleagues, and they are always impressed. This is truly one of the best Indian restaurants in Switzerland, and we highly recommend it!

The food here is awesome. I can say one of the best Indian restaurants in Lausanne. Their samosas and pani puri are absolutely delicious 😋 The staff is quite courteous and doesn't speaks good Hindi too.

Good food, and nice service! Love the mango lassi they have, and the chicken butter in addition to the fact that we can choose the spicy level! The portion is low but is enough to feel full, and I recommend their lunch buffet, I just don’t have pictures

Best and authentic Indian food. I really like Ambience, food, staff and the service. We just had dinner their with family. We are in 2 weeks Europe tour. Have been to different Indian restaurants in Interlaken and other places. I am glad that we stopped here on the way to Geneva. This restaurant is just amazing.

Lovely restaurant, delicious food and excellent staff/management. My wife and I were very happy and satiated after eating lunch here today. Tandoori prawns, fried onion rice, chicken fry and chicken curry were the winners today! Others dishes were awesome too. If you like Indian cuisine, you’ll thoroughly enjoy this place. Thanks Indian Zayeka for the lovely afternoon!

This is an EXCELLENT restaurant, especially for vegetarians. The weekday lunch buffet is very tasty, but what's really amazing is the a la carte menu on weekends and evenings. The ingredients are fresh, and expertly prepared. They are amazingly delicious. The owner is friendly and often chats with customers. She can be seen at almost every meal. W hile all Indian restaurants are vegetarian-friendly, what makes this one stand out is that at the weekday buffet, if you tell them you're veg, they will prepare a fresh dish for you to make up for the fact that only 2 of the many dishes are veg. Don't fill up on dahl and mixed veggie! The fresh dish, which is different every time, is always amazing. The service is a bit slow, with the buffet appetizers being set out around noon, the main dishes slightly after, and the dessert around quarter till one. They only have one waitress. So if you're looking for a leisurely meal, this is it, but if you're in a hurry and were hoping for a fast bite this is not it. lso, I wish they would serve samosa at the buffet! Their samosa are excellent! But their pakoras are very good too.

Amazing Indian Food! We had the naan, chicken korma, vegetable Korma, vegetable rice and they were all delicious . The restaurant staffs were great too!!
