Ask the restaurant team about allergens and ingredient origins before ordering, especially for meat, fish or prawn dishes.

Cima brings Tamil cuisine to Motorenstrasse 25 in 8005 Zürich, with a menu built around fresh ingredients, traditional recipes and generously seasoned dishes. The restaurant presents Tamil specialities in a straightforward setting suited to a relaxed meal, a takeaway order or food enjoyed at home.

The menu focuses on aromatic curries, chicken masala and varied thali plates. These dishes provide different ways to explore the restaurant’s cooking, from curry-based meals to a more varied thali selection. A drink can be paired with the food, giving diners the option of a complete meal rather than a single takeaway dish.

Cima’s cooking is shaped by bold seasoning and familiar Tamil recipes. The emphasis is on food prepared with care and served with plenty of flavour, making the restaurant suitable for diners who enjoy South Asian cuisine with a traditional regional identity. The menu offers enough variety for returning diners to choose different combinations across visits.

The restaurant caters to several dining occasions. Table reservations are available for meals at the venue, while collection and delivery make the menu accessible beyond the restaurant itself. Cima also provides catering, with arrangements and pricing handled directly by the restaurant. This makes the kitchen relevant for private gatherings and other occasions requiring prepared Tamil food.

Allergen information can be requested from the restaurant team for individual dishes. Meat and seafood ingredients are sourced from several countries, with the relevant declarations available for diners who need to check the origin of chicken, lamb, fish or prawns. Questions about ingredients can therefore be addressed before ordering.

With its focus on Tamil specialities, Cima offers an option for diners looking for curries, chicken dishes and thali meals in the 8005 district. The combination of restaurant dining, takeaway, delivery and catering gives the venue a practical role for both individual meals and larger food orders.
