Zaiqa Restaurant Roscommon in Roscommon

My partner lives in Roscommon and I live in England, whenever I visit him I always request to come to this restaurant. The food is always really flavourful, perfect levels of spice and seasoning and comes in generous portions. We’ve also ordered takeaway from here and you can get an amazing value meal deal which comes with a starter, main and rice etc. Complimentary poppadoms with lovely dips is always a bonus whenever we visit. I’d recommend the chilli chicken starter and the butter chicken. By far the best butter chicken I’ve ever had - the flavour is rich and delightful. Finally, the staff are kind and always very attentive. I’m excited to visit again soon!

Food was excellent with great awesome presentation

A 5-Star Hidden Gem in Roscommon! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Don't let the modest street-level entrance fool you—once you walk up the stairs, you are in for an absolute treat. This place is a true hidden gem that the current reviews don't fully do justice. From the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional. The young lady at reception was incredibly pleasant, well-presented, and welcomed me with a warm smile. As soon as I sat down, a bottle of cold water was brought to the table—a thoughtful touch that was exactly what I needed. The food was outstanding from start to finish. I was pleasantly surprised with complimentary, delicious poppadoms to start. If you want to try something really special, here is exactly what to order: The Starter: The Prawn Tempura was absolutely delicious and the portion size was much larger than I expected. The Main: The King Prawn Malvani paired with Plain Naan was spectacular. The curry sauce was so incredibly flavorful that I couldn't bear to let a single drop go to waste, prompting me to quickly order a side of Boiled Rice just to soak it all up! I have eaten at many Indian restaurants over the years, but this experience truly stood out. The entire bill came to just over €30, which is fantastic value for this level of quality. Look out for the sign on the street, head upstairs, and treat yourself to a five-star dining experience!

Fabulous experience. Great food, great service. Brilliant night.

Wonderful gem of a restaurant. It’s Bring Your Own Bottle if you want alcohol. Totally worth it as the food is superb. I had chicken korai with pilau rice and tarka dhal. Chicken was tender which was the important part. Great service. Ideal for small kids too, they have a kids menu with burgers etc but my two loved the Butter Chicken and Chicken Korma. Absolutely recommend.

Best Indian I have eaten full stop. No joke no catch just good food, a great atmosphere and some seriously good value. Highly recommend for any occasion or event. The staff are top notch.

Passing through Roscommon on the way back to South Galway, we were hungry and wanted to find something more appetising than fish & chips. A quick online search showed us Zaiqa in the square. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. From the popodums through the starter to a dessert via our mains - Chicken Mumtaz and Lamb Bhuna with Pilau Rice - everything was excellent, well balanced and very tasty. Mohammed and the other staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. We asked for Salt Lassi, which was not on the menu, and they were more than happy to provide it. It gives me pleasure to recommend Zaiqa in Roscommon town’s square without reservation.

Super Indian, great food, friendly staff

Me and my friend recently visited Zaiqa Roscommon, and honestly, we found it to be the best among all the Zaiqa branches we’ve tried so far. I’ve also visited the ones in Tullamore, Ballinasloe, and Galway, and I would definitely rank Zaiqa Roscommon as No.1, followed by Galway at No.2. Their manager (Mr. Sajid) & staff, especially the one who took our order (Mr. M.Ishtiaq), they were all extremely friendly, welcoming, and professional. The food was absolutely up to the mark, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully served. They even brought us an extra dish that we hadn’t ordered and offered it complimentary, which was such a lovely gesture. And the tea was amazing — it truly reminded me of the tea back home in Pakistan. Everything, including the environment around us, also the lovely music were so good & the experience was superb, especially the behaviour and hospitality of the staff, which I believe matters the most. Highly recommended!

We were on a short stay in Roscommon and ate at this restaurant twice it was so good! The staff are so welcoming, friendly, very professional and efficient. Great attention to detail like lovely warmed plates and complimentary poppadums with 3 dips which is unusual to get now in restaurants as usually you would need to pay for these. The menu is very reasonably priced. You can bring your own wine and beer and there is no corkage charge which is a great plus. The food is absolutely amazing and the best we've ever had. The first night we had Aloo Tikki for starter. For mains Goan fish curry which was fabulous and the addition of the curry leaves really made it taste so authentic and southern Indian. Also we had Bombay Aloo and Paneer Chilli Masala we also had a Kashmiri Naan which I've never seen on a menu before and it was lovely as was the pillau rice which was a very generous portion and truly the best pillau rice we've ever had. The second night we had the Chef Meat Platter to share for starters. For mains we shared the Zhinga Zafrani which was amazing. And we had sides of Palak Paneer and Tarka Dal and pillau rice and a Chapati all very delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant for the food and service. Special compliments to the Chef as the food is a credit to you, keep up the good work. We look forward to visiting this restaurant again when in Roscommon just wish you had a branch in Dublin!
