The food was delicious, try the Chili Paneer! The only weird thing was we asked for water, and they brought us bottled water and charged for it. If they just had ice water in cups - like every other restaurant, it would be perfect!

Absolutely outstanding! From the moment we walked in, everything was perfect — the atmosphere, the service, and especially the food. Every bite was full of flavor and clearly made with care and passion. This place truly sets the standard for excellence. Can’t wait to come back!

Picked up food from here for dinner. Was so incredibly oily that it all pooled up on the top of the curries, I had to dump the oil out just to eat it. Food was not fresh and actually tasted old, really bad overall.

I ordered via uber delivery for chicken tikka and lamb chops. Taste is good and portion size is good. The lamb was tough and should be tender so that older adults can chew easily. I will be ordering and visiting this place soon. Overall taste is good.

Zaiqa BBQ & Karahi in Germantown completely exceeded my expectations! If you’re looking for bold, authentic Pakistani flavors, this is the place to go.

I ordered the Lamb Biryani and Chicken Karahi, and both dishes were absolutely phenomenal. The lamb biryani was bursting with flavor—tender, perfectly cooked lamb layered with fragrant basmati rice and just the right amount of spice. Every bite had a beautiful balance of heat and aroma, and it was clearly made with care and traditional technique.

The Chicken Karahi was just as impressive—served sizzling in a rich tomato-based gravy with ginger, green chilies, and freshly ground spices. The chicken was cooked perfectly, soaking in all the flavors from the karahi. It had that deep, smoky, slow-cooked taste that you only get in authentic Pakistani cooking.

The portions were generous, the naan was fresh and pillowy, and the service was friendly and attentive. The whole experience—from the food to the warm ambiance—was outstanding.

If you’re a fan of South Asian cuisine, Zaiqa’s Lamb Biryani and Chicken Karahi are absolute must-haves. This is comfort food with serious flavor—definitely one of Germantown’s best-kept secrets!

This was my first time trying this cuisine and I can tellvyou right now. If you want boring, sloppy, disgusting food that has no value to your taste buds or soul for that matter! This is not the place for you.
