"The Chana masala is absolutely to die for. So filling and bursting with flavor, mixed with their rice it is the perfect meal. The veggie samosas are flaky and crunchy and still somehow melt in your mouth, 10/10. If youre a fan of spice you can't go wrong doing the samosas with their green sauce they include. "

"this restaurant has, quite frankly, the best Butter Chicken I've ever had. the Palak Paneer is good as well, but the butter chicken is beyond good. they give you a really solid amount of food for the price as well: spending ~$45 has gotten me easily 3-4 days of food for myself, which is well worth the price imo"
"Ordered here for the first time bc our usual go-to Indian place has been inconsistent lately. The Butter Chicken was on the sweet side, but my family still enjoyed it. The chicken wasn't as tender as some other places though. The Lamb Rogan Josh was mild in flavor but very tender. The Tandoori Chicken was a huge serving but was again not the juiciest tandori I've had. The Palak Paneer was good. Large portion. Lots of cheese. Good flavor. The Chicken Cheese Naan was delicious. First time we've ever had that. The nans were good too. Nice and fluffy. The MoMo Chicken dumplings were delicious but fiery! We weren't expecting that since the description didn't mention anything about it being spicy. The Mango Lassi was yummy, but the color is very bright orange and off putting. Looks like way too much food coloring. Overall, we'd order from here again."

"The food from Tikka stood out in taste the same way as I last dined there. They achieve a balance of flavors that's unparalleled. When I unwrapped the packaging of the Onion Kulcha I was hit with a burst of aroma! with every bite, I experienced the crunch of the onions and chewiness of the bread. The Amchur Bhindi Masala maintained the crunch of the Okra while the sauce coated the pieces. I was truly blown away by The dum Biryani With Raita for it's texture and incorporation of Jackfruit which did not make me miss any chicken! The raita had rock salt which just reminded me of home! Will certainly order from here again!"
