My go-to Paki-Indian restaurant for rich and delicious curry. Tried pretty much every curry there - Butter Chicken, Lamb Rogan Josh, Shy Paneer etc. They were all so good to the point where I wanted to lick the plates off every time. Highly recommend!
The best pakistani food I have had after I lived in Abu Dhabi years ago. The food is just amazing with all dishes we've tried so far very flavorsome! My personal favourite is the Lahori murgh and my wife loves the mutton kadhai. Even the vegetarian options are amazing (tried their shahi paneer, samosas, daal), so this is a perfect place to turn up with a group so that you can try multiple items. The "regular" tea tastes as good as the kullhad waali chai and is a great combo with the samosas. The gulab jamuns are soft and well made, and a perfect dessert to end with. This place truly deserves the accolades for serving the tastiest Pakistani food in town! Kudos to the team at Ziyka, keep up the great work!!
I have been there many times and more often than not I've been happy with the food I've got here. One of my favorite dishes here is the Lahori chicken which is served in a pan in which it is cooked. It has a really nice flavor, and the chicken is always cooked brilliantly. The mix of spices is really unique and tastes really good. This week I tried Shahi Paneer and I was blown away by the flavor. It was an amazing flavor.
Some improvements can be made in the restaurant regarding cleanliness, ambiance and the look of the restaurant, but if I only look at the food then it is exceptional.
I haven't had flavor-rich food like that in many places in Melbourne. This is one of the places that I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for Indian or Pakistani food in Melbourne.
One of my favorites for Indian/Pakistani non-veg late-night dinners. All starters, curries and breads taste excellent. Try the "Chicken cheese handi" if you're looking for an unique curry. Dessert - Probably the best Gulab Jamun in melbourne!
Negative: Don't get the biriyani if you're looking for a good hyderabadi/lucknowi style dum biryani
Best food i have tasted in melbourne. Especially lahore karahi was very tasty. I recommend this place
Amazing authentic cuisine at unbelievably reasonable prices. Might have to speak Urdu to get a better quality meal but from what I was served; it was bang in for taste, tenderness and spiciness.
Have been to this place so many times even it is a little far away from where we live.. Absolutely love this place. Their special Chicken Karahi (Pakistani style special) and Goat pulao is to die for. Mutton Karahi is lip smacking. And customer service is amazing. A must visit.
This place has amazing Pakistani food to offer , the food is amazing one should come here and try the chicken karahi (Boneless) , handi chicken and for vegetarians I know there are limited options but paneer karahi and shahi paneer is also a must , naan is completely soft and goes easily into your stomach. Location is nicely setup , service is good , can get busy easily in their working hours and it’s affordable. I would recommend this place for their affordable quality food and taste
I've never eaten so much indian food in one sitting. I recommend eating the boneless chicken karahi together with the kulcha and holy shit the kulcha is good. Its airy but at the same time has so much bite.
Ziyka was a pleasant surprise. It's a small restaurant that can hold 20-25 ppl max. This place is always busy. You can order from the menu ala-carte or from the deals on the display. The food is very flavoursome. The veg option is quite limited here. We ordered a Paneer dish in veg and one of the chicken deals from the display. The paneer and the chicken dishes were too good. The naan bread that came with the deal, however, was the downside. Wasnt too good. In fact, the naan and roti ordered separately was so much better. I guess to make cheaper deals they cut down on the quality of the flour used to make deals with naan. The food is spicy, mind you!
In short, its a good restaurant for non-vegetarian food. With limited veg menu, still not bad. Definitely worth trying.
Very busy place, full of familys and activity. Not an intimate dining experience, but it does have a vibe about it. The food is delicious, spicy and presented in a way that encourages sharing and family feasting. We ordered goat, chicken, prawns and lamb, all deliciously tender. We didn't have to wait to long for our food, the menu is accessible via a QR code, and I'm sure the staff will help if you can't access. The staff are all business, no chit chatting, which is understandable, it's a big restaurant to cover.
Absolutely amazing food! Was super excited to try this and it certainly didn’t disappoint. I don’t tend to have too much Pakistani cuisine but I’ll definitely be back as the it was all super delicious and flavourful!
We could also see / tell they used a lot of spices, herbs and garlic and ginger!!
We were recommended this restaurant by a friend. As we flew in late it was very convenient that Ziyka was open late. The food was fantastic and the staff great. The energy in the restaurant was also great with every table full of life. Simply everything we could of asked for.
Great late night dinner. We arrived late in Melbourne and this was one of the few spots that was still open for dinner past 11pm. We had a lovely meal (goat special), staff was so welcoming and it made our first night very cozy and happy!
Loved the food. For me, it was a bit crowded but had good time having good food with family and friends. We ordered kebabs, chicken ginger, chicken shinwari, with plain nan and roti. All in all good experience.

The mutton karahi was the BOMB. No brainer, order this. The chefs here definitely do not skimp on flavour- maximum flavour, no frills restaurant. Max spice, herbs, etc to deliver as authentic a flavour as they possibly can.
Chicken biryani okay. Very fragrant though! Serving was extremely generous so would be great for a big family to share.
This place was so busy, it’s massive and every table is absolutely full w around 6-8 groups waiting outside for a table with us, we got in about 20mins which was nice. The staff are very efficient and able to get multiple tables in and out at the same time. We walked down the entire carlton street from 400 gradi in Brunswick and Ziyka and DOC espresso were by far the busiest restaurants (though the entire street was positively pumping on a sat night). A lot of families must travel to come dine at Ziyka and it shows. Wish we tried the kebabs as well since the table next door ordered it and the meat platter looked divine, however we were still full as f from our first dinner.
Will definitely come back and can’t stop raving about the incredible lamb karahi here.
Best Pakistani food experience in Australia. Everything we ordered was as authentic as a typical Lahore restaurant. Very busy place though but once we got the table, rest was a very good experience. A bit wait to order the food but it is normal for such a busy place.
Overall the food and their customer service was good. I ordered non-veg platter, mutton pulav, garlic naan (bread), and chicken tikka masala. Naan was so soft and the gravy was top notch. If not for the dessert, I would have given 5 stars. I ordered Rasamalai (Dessert) which was tasting bit old. Their ambience is good, I would definitely recommend this Pakistani restaurant for dine-in, but be mindful while ordering the deserts.
