Apparently we’ve become a birthday destination for the little people. ❤️

We’ve had a few messages like these recently, and honestly they might be some of our favourite booking messages to receive.

There’s something incredibly special about being told that, when a little person gets to choose where they want to go for their birthday, they chose us. 🥹

When we created House of Zaikha, we wanted people to look at us and feel warmth. To feel welcomed, comfortable and happy to be here.

And somehow, having that reflected back to us through a child…with all the innocence and excitement that comes with them simply loving somewhere…. feels incredibly special. ❤️

It genuinely overwhelms us a little every time we receive one of these messages.

Forget impressing the food critics.

Being chosen by a child for their birthday is the real Michelin star. 🤩

Although judging by some of our smallest food critics, apparently the usual rating system isn’t quite enough either…

1,000 stars. 😍
100 out of 10. ❤️

We’ll happily take those ratings.

To our most favourite little people, who keep dragging their parents through our doors….we absolutely love having you. ❤️

For months we’ve been receiving helpful little messages from our lovely well-wishers…

“Your K doesn’t work.”

Correct. 😅

I was hoping the longer summer evenings would disguise it.

But with winter approaching, even I had to accept it was probably time to act. 😬

THE K FINALLY WORKS.

Obviously I couldn’t just fix one letter and leave well enough alone, so the sign has moved up ready for the awning and I’ve finally used the window film that’s been lying around for several months. 😂

Productivity has really taken off today…..

Now I’m staring at the bottom windows…

Film them too or leave them alone?

Apparently I’m incapable of completing a project without immediately inventing another one. 😂

Absolutely loved Tom’s feedback. ❤️❤️

Not because everything was perfect, it wasn’t.

But there was so much kindness and respect in the way he raised it. He understood there was another human being on the other side of the conversation.

And when customers approach us like that, you naturally want to go above and beyond in return.

These messages genuinely mean a lot to us. ☺️

LONG POST ALERT 🤐🤐

Disclaimer: Written by AI. The same AI that cooks across multiple cuisines and cooking styles too.

I know, I know… apparently I haven’t said enough this weekend. 😉

But this one I genuinely hope you’ll read to the end.

At House of Zaikha, we do things differently.

I never created this page to be a perfectly polished collection of pretty food pictures and “book your table now” posts.

We share our food, our customers, our community work, our ridiculous moments and our successes.

The good, the bad and occasionally the ugly.

Because real hospitality has all three.

And somewhere along the way, I think we’ve confused professionalism with silence.

There seems to be an expectation that hospitality workers should smile through whatever is thrown at them because somebody is paying a bill.

I don’t believe that.

Professionalism does not mean surrendering your dignity.
Kindness does not mean having no boundaries.
And respect should never be one-way.

We understand that principle everywhere else.

We wouldn’t say that because one partner pays the household bills, they’ve purchased the right to speak to the other however they choose.

We wouldn’t say that because an employer pays somebody’s wages, they can treat that person however they like.

Money does not buy the right to disrespect another human being.

So why should hospitality be different?

Paying for a service buys you the service.
It does not buy you the people providing it.

And threatening a small business with “you’ll lose my custom” because it has set a boundary shouldn’t frighten us into abandoning that boundary.

You don’t have to agree with us.

But disagreement does not require a personal attack on the human being behind the business.

Apparently businesses should behave professionally.

Absolutely.

And we look forward to welcoming equally professional diners. 😂❤️

My faith teaches me that charity isn’t only about money. Even making another person smile is an act of charity.

That has always mattered to me.

If we can make somebody smile, make their day a little easier, feed somebody who needs feeding or simply make somebody feel seen, then House of Zaikha has achieved something far more important than selling another meal.

But I cannot preach kindness to my community and then ask myself or my staff to quietly tolerate unkindness.

That would make everything we stand for meaningless.

And perhaps one of the most touching things to come from the last two days has happened silently.

We’ve watched hospitality workers and other hospitality businesses quietly start following this page.

Many haven’t commented.

They haven’t joined the arguments.

They’ve simply followed. ❤️

Perhaps they understand why conversations like this matter. Perhaps some are simply glad somebody is having them.

If speaking openly gives even one person the courage to say “I deserve to be treated with respect too,” then I’m glad we spoke.

House of Zaikha was never created to be like everybody else.

Not our food.
Not our community work.
Not the way we run our restaurant.
And certainly not this page. 😂

Change starts when somebody is prepared to do things differently.

So if you like the food, the community, the honesty, the chaos and the occasional sarcasm, you are very welcome here. ❤️

If you don’t, that’s okay too.

You are welcome to unfollow.

But we won’t stop speaking up simply because silence would be more comfortable.

We do things differently.

And I’m proud that we do. ❤️

⚠️ IMPORTANT STAFF ANNOUNCEMENT ⚠️

So folks… unfortunately, Team House of Zaikha has had to fire Lisa.

Following the events of Friday night, we conducted a thorough internal investigation.

Unfortunately, the evidence against her was overwhelming.

MISTAKE NO. 1

Four adults arrived at 6.45pm and ordered from the kids’ menu.

Her 14-year-old business consultant immediately raised concerns:

“Mum! They’re ADULTS! It’s wrong in principle!”

Lisa ignored professional advice and overruled him.

First mistake.

The guests ate, complimented the food and everything was going beautifully.

Until…

THE £86.20 BILL.

Apparently charging for the papadums and chutneys they’d ordered was “naughty.” 😅

We entered our rebellious chutney era. 😝

Which brings us to…

MISTAKE NO. 2

Team House of Zaikha would also like an explanation as to why, on a fully booked Friday night when we were turning tables away, Lisa managed to feed 4 adults for £86.20. 😭😂

She best not be complaining when payday arrives. 🤣

We’ll be raising this separately at her disciplinary.

Moving swiftly on…

By 8.30pm, one of the team had been into the kitchen what felt like approximately 15 times with questions from the same table, survived the earlier Sweet & Sour Sauce Inquiry, and had now found himself at the centre of…

CHUTNEYGATE. 😭🤣

With 8 orders still waiting to be prepped, Lisa was summoned from the kitchen.

“Not Table 2 again…” 😭

The team member who’d spent the evening being told how “naughty” he was?

Absolutely HOWLING. 🤣🤣🤣

His face basically said:

“You wanted Lisa. You’ve GOT Lisa. Good luck.” 😭🤣

After a rather LOUD discussion, the guests announced:

“We’ll pay, but we’re NEVER coming back!”

Lisa replied:

“With all due respect, I don’t want you back here again.”

Which brings us to…

MISTAKE NO. 3

Lisa walked away, told us to take full payment, and left her 14-year-old business consultant to take the card payment.

Huge error.

Because one of the ladies, still ranting about Lisa, announced:

“WATCH HER GET FIRED!”

His response?

“She’s the owner.”

Pin. Drop. Silence. 🤐

And Lisa MISSED IT.

Frankly, unforgivable. 😭🤣

Which brings us to our final finding…

MISTAKE NO. 4

The guests had announced:

“We’re NEVER coming back!”

And Lisa…

didn’t even walk them out. 😭

Apparently basic hospitality standards have completely collapsed.

If a guest tells you they’re never coming back, the very least you can do is see them safely to the door. 😂

Another serious breach identified by our investigation.

We would also like to apologise to our other diners who unexpectedly received an episode of The Real Housewives of Table 2 with their Friday-night dinner. 🤣❤️

Following our very thorough investigation, Team House of Zaikha has taken the difficult decision to terminate Lisa’s employment with immediate effect.

Unfortunately, we have since discovered one minor operational issue…

Nobody else wants her job. 😭

So unless you lot vote to keep her fired…

she’ll be back in the kitchen tonight. 😂❤️

Shim asked: “What is your secret behind creating so many dishes fresh? Surely the kitchen becomes overwhelmed?”

Well, it’s actually quite simple.

I designed the menu backwards.

Instead of choosing hundreds of dishes and then working out what ingredients I needed, I started with our core ingredients and thought: how many different dishes can I make from this?

Take one 10kg box of fresh chicken.

Around half is used for our chicken burger fillets. The tenders are split between our chicken tenders and Chinese chicken strips, which we use in chow mein, fried rice, salt & pepper chicken and our salt & pepper boxes.

Other cuts are used across our Thai and Indo dishes, while the chicken ball cuts also become our Turkish shish and Indo satay chicken.

Then there’s our chicken tikka. The same preparation is used across our curries, biryanis, pizzas, loaded dishes and tandoor section.

And it’s not just the meat.

You’ll see sliced green peppers in this video. That one ingredient is used in over 35 dishes - from pizzas and chow mein to curries and loads more.

Our keema is another example. One core preparation goes into 19 different dishes.

So although our menu looks huge, we don’t have hundreds of ingredients sitting around waiting for individual dishes to sell.

The same fresh ingredients are constantly moving across different sections of the menu, which means the turnaround is actually incredibly quick.

I didn’t create a huge menu and then work out how to manage it. I created the menu around the ingredients we already use.

And that’s basically the secret behind our menu.

There are two types of people… 👀

Those who say “I’m too full for dessert.”

And those of us who know there’s ALWAYS room for dessert. 😂❤️

Our dessert counter is looking rather full today… and everything is freshly made.

🍓 Strawberry Cream Cake
🍋 Lemon & Mint Cheesecake
🥭 Mango Milk Cake
🍫 Chocolate Brownies
💚 Pistachio Baklava

Our favourite has to be a battle between the Lemon & Mint Cheesecake and Mango milk cake 😍

Now we need to know yours…

Over the last year, I’ve realised just how much you’ve all got to know House of Zaikha… and me along with it. ❤️

Some of you walk through my doors already knowing so much about me and our journey, and the connection that creates before we’ve even properly met is amazing. 🤩

So… Q&A time. 👀

House of Zaikha, the food, behind the scenes, the journey, me personally… whatever you’re curious about.

Over the next 7 days, I’ll pick 7 questions and answer one each day.

Drop yours below. 👇

And yes… I already know “Why don’t you have an alcohol licence?” is coming. 😂

OMG. Have we accidentally turned Nadia into a version of us?! 😂😂❤️

This has GOT to be one of the best and funniest reviews we’ve ever received. 😂

The Saag Aloo and Chicken Curry fighting amongst themselves for her loyalty absolutely finished us. 😂❤️

Nadia Martin, we LOVE this! ❤️

If you’re reading this - this made our day!
