“recently visited this restaurant and was impressed by the quality of the food. The dishes were flavorful, with fresh ingredients that really shone through in every bite—from the aromatic curries to the perfectly spiced naan. A great spot for authentic desi cuisine and American food. We really loved the beef biriyani. It was delicious.”
— Sid Chow“Hidden gem. Delicious food and friendly staff. Rahman treated us very well! Highly recommend the spicy chicken appetizer, huge portion, the Portuguese chicken and the beef rib (best thing we had). Everything was well seasoned, juicy, and fall off the bone. Without a doubt fairly priced for the quality, portion size and excellent service. Best of all it’s all hand cut halal.”
— Mulla“Charcoal Zyka is hands down one of the best spots around! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked – you can really taste the quality in every bite. The service is quick and friendly, and the portions are generous for the price. The atmosphere is welcoming, whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout. Definitely my go-to when I’m craving authentic flavors. Highly recommend!”
— Lite A Yard“I just happened to find this one late night during one of my regular hospital stays with my chronic illness. Now, I am regularly getting it delivered to my home and taking my office family into the restaurant. The Tandoori chicken and Naan comes in HUGE portions for a very valuable price!!! Not enough people know about this hidden little gem! Kabir and his family are a welcome addition to our community and we cannot wait to make more memories there! Please give Halal Zaika aka Charcoal Zyka a try- it will become a regular part of your dining as well! Wish you could smell these photos! Absolutely delicious food with amazing food and family friendly!!!'”
