Zayka, Gran Canaria (27th September 2015)

Price: €20
Score: 8.833

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The final curry of the tour was just a few minutes from the second curry house, a leisurely wander from the hotel after a day of drinking and relaxing around the pool playing cards. The Zayka is a quiet restaurant which had a homely feel.

 

The third curry of the tour and the usual poppadoms to start the meal. This time a different hot chutney, made from chili and yoghurt which certainly packed a punch, setting Ian off with hiccups and others taking large sips of water, beer or sangria, whatever was nearest quench the burning in the mouth. 

 

Starters consisted of Paneer Tikka for Simon and Lee, Tony opting for his favoured Prawn Puree.  The Paneer Tikka came on a sizzler with what looked like the same sauce as the chutney from the pickles tray. Luckily it was milder and very flavoursome.  Tony enjoyed his starter and all scored a very good 9. 

 

Mains followed, Murgh Dhania for Simon,  chicken in a very dark coloured sauce which had some heat but not too much. The dish was ok but nothing special and scored an 8.   Lee went for a Vegetable and Paneer Jalfrezi with another Tarka Dhall, which although tasty did not outscore the previous mains for Lee, 8 scored. Tony decided on a Mixed Vegetable Curry with mushroom rice, thoroughly enjoyed and scored a 9. Overall an average score of 8.334. 

 

Service was of an acceptable standard and scored a 7.5.  The VFM was better tonight, bill coming to less than €20 per head so scored an 8.

 

Overall score a very creditable 8.210.
