Customer Review Summary

The goat curry draws repeated praise, described by reviewers as insanely good and full of flavour, alongside the tapas style Indian and Nepalese small plates, with onion bhajis and lamb shish singled out as standouts. Several diners also mention the mixed grill for two and spring rolls and tempura as sides, and one reviewer highlights the tropical curry for its pineapple, mango and coconut flavours. Surprise birthday and anniversary desserts, including a birthday brownie and baclava, come up again and again as a memorable touch, often tied to celebratory visits like anniversaries and birthdays. Staff are repeatedly called warm, friendly and welcoming, with the owners personally greeting guests and one server named for looking after a birthday party well, though roles rather than names are what reviewers return to overall. One reviewer notes the tapas portions were small, something they say they were warned about in advance. Multiple reviewers describe returning for a second visit and say they would recommend the restaurant to others.

  • Akshay Nugent
    “We had the most wonderful time at Ayka celebrating my parents’ wedding anniversary. The food was absolutely scrumptious, from all of the Indian & Nepalese inspired tapas (the onions bhajis were a stand out) to the incredible goat curry main. Everything was full of flavour and catered to spice and non-spice lovers alike. However what really stood out to us was the service. We were taken such great care of by the staff who made the whole experience so warm and entertaining. A must must try for anyone who enjoys authentic South Asian food in Grantham!”

    “We stumbled upon this delightful little gem on Grantham High Street this afternoon. ✨ The moment we stepped inside, the fresh and clean scent enveloped us. The charming decor and relaxed atmosphere created a warm and inviting feel. Service was great. 💫 Food was stunning & absolutely delicious. We had the mixed grill for two and honestly one of the best we’ve had. Meat were juicy & full of flavour. ✨ Had spring rolls & tempura as our side dishes too🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 highly recommend & we’ll definitely be back soon ✨”

    “Food is absolutely brilliant! Bless the lady running it was all over the place but she was so lovely. Went for my partners birthday last night and they produced a fantastic birthday brownie! Im a massive baclava fan and the one they made was as good as the one I had in Greece! Would reccomend and return!”
