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.

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!

Very nice restaurant, high quality food, and more than fair prices! A bottle of tap water is served free of charge without even asking for it! Very rare in Switzerland!! We ate there last Saturday, I ordered Tikka Masala, fantastic! Be careful, if you like spicy, ask for spicy grade 2/5, it is enough!

I found one Indian restaurant in Switzerland which justifies real Indian cuisine!!!

Absolutely delicious restaurant, Owner is lovely and very helpful. Always listening and making food as per our request, We have been here many times as couple or group of 40 person, All events done perfect 😍

I was with family at Indian Zayeka yesterday evening for dinner.The food is outstanding and with personalised service and excellent ambience indoors and two big terraces, the friendly Patron Madam Preeti made enough space for us as per our choice with wonderful Indian music playing in the background. What amazes me the most is each time we go there the experience enhancement is always on a rising curve. I strongly recommend this restaurant to everyone.Trust me, after a tiring day all we need to retire for the day is good sleep with a full tummy and a contented heart which you get here in their delicious food and service by the amazing service staff .I strongly recommend a reservation as this restaurant usually is very busy . Cheers !!!

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

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!!
