Time Out New York's halal restaurants guide flags Hyderabadi Zaiqa's Hell's Kitchen location for its cramped footprint, writing that 'eating here basically guarantees you'll trade elbows with the person next to you.' The description points to a small dining room with just a few tables and a counter, so even modest crowds create close quarters.
Per Time Out, the tight space has apparently pushed the operators to open a second, larger location in Murray Hill for diners who want more room. That expansion suggests the Hell's Kitchen original regularly outgrows its seating rather than sitting empty.
