I was a bit worried based on some of the reviews, but honestly had a wonderful experience here. I was the only one in the restaurant and the waiters were very attentive and helpful, spoke great english, helped me pick out a second dish, choose one of the many options for naan, and delicious rice pudding. I got the chicken tikka masala and lamb korma, everything i tasted seemed fresh and generally as I hoped. Thank you for the great service, food, and experience.

This has been one me and my partners most romantic dinner spots. On a cool chilly night I really wanted a burger but somehow we ended up here. Staff offered us to sit outside and of course we said yes! They led us to a backyard patio with fairy lights and flowers on each table. The food was enough for the both of us to share so we didn't have to order two sperate meals. So filling and flavorful. I'll never forget this place

I didn’t know what to expect. Went on a friends suggestion after they decided to skip the Chinese spot across the street and opted for something outside the box that we don’t usually look to eat. I like that their menu is digital (old gen iPad minis) but their menu don’t explain much so with the help of google I decided on the lamb saag which is curry lamb in a pureed spinach sauce seasoned to perfection. You also get a choice of bread like naan or roti. I can’t recall the name but my friend had the chicken in a red sauce with peppers, onions and green chilis. I sampled some and it had the right amount kick to it. Somewhat more spice than what I had. Think one chili pepper. Mine I would say was like half a chili on spice. Both dishes came with white rice in addition to the bread. The portions is nice enough to split/share so you and your guest can try two dishes like we did. The food was very filling and tasty. You don’t get that nasty full feeling fast food gives. I would definitely go again. Our server was a very nice gentleman, he gave suggestions and also let us know if something we were considering would take more than 15 min to cook since certain items for a dish were made fresh. If you ever want to stop in please do. The orange yogurt drink (idk the name) was amazing! And they offer sweets at the end of the meal (think tiny nerds in a dish) which was cute. Please try as much as you can here! I would definitely go back. The place was also nice and clean even in the bathrooms and I liked there was outdoor seating in the back. Side note: The 2 meals, the yogurt drink yogurt drink refill, and a coke came out to be about 65. Meal is roughly 20 minimum but I seen the highest on the menu was a lamb dish for 30.

Rashidul our server was pleasant and helpful. The food at Tikka is so good we come regularly. We can recommend tandoori chicken and chicken saag. Excellent food, modest interior and outdoor seating.

We ordered chicken biryani, which was perfectly cooked. Alongside, we enjoyed tandoori chicken with white rice. To finish, the mango lassi was exceptionally delicious. I would love to come back again to try new recipes!

The front of the restaurant is not exactly inviting because of the fluorescent blue tinted lighting. However, you can’t judge this space based off of its cover. In the back, there is a cute elevated terrace with several tables with nice lighting. Rasidul was just a delight. He was attentive without hovering and seemed so earnest at every interaction. The food came out really quickly and he made sure to give us water immediately. We will be back!
