"the Butter Chicken is EXACTLY how it should be, and the Palak Paneer was almost perfect as well. My only complaint is that there's not *quite* enough rice for the serving, but honestly that's just because the curry serving is so generous. I am definitely reordering from here again."

"Absolutely delicious packed to perfection for delivery!! We ordered Garlic Naan Butter Chicken Daal Makhni and basmati rice came with it!!"
"The food is flavorful with the right amount of spice—especially for me. When mixed with the rice, it balances out just right. I’m from Texas, and I will say it is seasoned and spicy to my liking as well.
The food doesn’t seem like a lot at first, but it is definitely filling.
I actually bought this once before maybe a week ago but forgot to upload the picture, so I’ll upload it with this one. The older one is the picture with the cut-up naan, and today’s meal is the picture with the whole naan. Although it’s cut up in the older photo, I do believe the naan added up to a whole piece.
The naan is very garlicky (aromatic)and flavorful—definitely homemade, which makes it worth the price!"

"The Butter Chicken was good, and portion sizes are great as far as meat included.
Mini Samosas were good, the sauces included are strong but complimented well.
Garlic naan was $3 for one piece. And once I got it, it was very stale, crunchy and seemingly burnt.

"#6. Chicken Seekh Kabob was so taste but rice portion is small . It should be enough because the price we pay is pretty much expensive "
"Chicken Seekh Kabob - 1pc for $5 was little pricey.. expected atleast 2 pc .. but taste was ok.. not worth the price.
Chicken Haleem (Sat & Sun) the quantity was good taste was ok... not great but good .. $20 was too much as compared to other restaurant that offers between $12-16 are much more tastier and flavorful but this was just ok... not worth the price... expected more bold flavors but not for a $20 price.. too much.. but once spend is an experience to not order next time.
Fresh Bread - They were pretty soft... compared to any other restaurants .. naan and rotis.. this one was different.. I had ordered 2 ... but received 3 .. not sure why... (may be 1 complimentory with the seekh kabob)... but liked it.. soft well baked..undoubtedly good .. combined well with the Chicken Seekh Kabob and Chicken Haleem (Sat & Sun) .....
Rasmalai - Must Try !- It was the show stopper....
Very different... till date what i have received from other restaurant seemed similar to the packed ras malai that is available in most of the freezers in Indian grocery store..
But this ras malai seemed inhouse hand made.. fresh and delicate... the taste and flavors were unique and delicious.
Absolutely, 1 is not enough if you are a sweet lover...
$5.99 worth the price the taste and it was Awesome undoubtedly....🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶"

"I was disappointed with this Butter Chicken (Signature Dish), it's always a hit or miss with Indian food in the DMV. Pieces of the chicken were chewy & undercooked. As well as the chickpeas (Chana Masala), they were hard and definitely could have been cooked longer. The texture of the leafy greens side was super thin and runny. The only thing I can praise was the portion of the dish, it was pretty ample for the price."

"The Fish Kolivada was a flavorful, spiced but not hot, white fish. you can taste the coriander (so good). There were two green sauces. No idea what they were, but they were complimentary. one was thin and sweet and one was like applesauce but taste like apple and tamarind. whatever it was, it was good. The Peshwari Naan was nice. slightly sweet like lightly brown sugared with raisins. The Cheese Naan taste like fresh garlic and cheese. it was ok. TheOnion Kulcha was good, too. If I hadn't had the other two breads, the Cheese Naan would've taste better. The others outshine it. The Mango Lassi came in and adorable milk bottle. Delicious! I'd want this and Peshwari Naan for breakfast and I don't usually like lots of sweets!"
"The food was soooooo good! It was seasoned well and packaged well. I ordered the Butter Chicken and Cheese Naan. Of course I ate it together - it's delicious and the rice, it was great!!! I could wait it by itself. I've been looking for an Indian spot since I moved here and I just found it. The Mango Lassi was delicious as well. I came to order so more but unfortunately they're close today and I believe tomorrow. I will definitely order from them again.

"The Goat was cooked to perfection, and the variety of rice grain usage was great, the colourful dish is a splash of flavour in your mouth and on your plate.
The Lamb Shank Rogan Josh was mildly spiced, allowing the tender notes of the meat to come through, and it was tender and slow cooked just the right way.
The Chicken Malai Kabab was moist and full of delicious notes of lemon, the char on it is fantastic, I love dipping it in the Raita, it just gives it a delicious mix of flavours."
"Really impressed with this order from Tikka! Everything was well spiced and packed with flavor, the Vindaloo and Tikka Masala had great depth, and the Samosas were a highlight, especially the sauces that came alongside them. The Raita was fresh and creamy, and both the Salted and Strawberry Lassis had a great yogurt base that felt authentic rather than watered down.
Portions were generous, plenty of food for the meal plus solid leftovers the next day, which is always a win. Everything arrived hot and well packaged, which isn't a given with delivery. The Fruit Naan was a nice touch too."

"I order from here a few times a month, for about the past year. They always have such delicious foods, my favorite are their egg biryani and their chicken biryani. Their portions are great, they are very filling and I can eat about 2-3 times from their portions. Their food is always hot and fresh. If you like spicy foods, I recommend!"

"The food was awesome just the right amount of spice 2"
"Generous portions - maybe I just wasn't hungry today but just a bit over half the Maurya Kebab Combo with a Paneer Kulcha left me full.
Food is decent but could also be better. Some parts of the chicken/meat are weirdly mushy - maybe it was marinated too long? The rice also is also somewhat mushy and not fluffy. Spice and seasoning is fine (although a little more wouldn't go amiss) and the kulcha seems good as well. The chana masala is sweeter than what I usually encounter - not sure if this is a regional variation or adapted to the typical American palette. "

"Butter chicken is delish and the right amount of spice. The Samosas were good just wish they were a little more crispy. "
"I was really looking forward to my meal, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. I ordered two entrées, neither of which included rice, so I added an extra order for $7—only to receive a portion that barely filled half a takeout container.
The mixed vegetables were supposed to be mild, but they ended up being too spicy to eat. The garlic naan was dry, bland, and lacked any noticeable garlic flavor. On top of that, the sauce containers were poorly sealed and had spilled all over during delivery. (Though this may have been the delivery driver's fault - hard to say.)
For the price, I expected much better quality and portion sizes. Sadly, this meal didn’t meet expectations, and I won’t be ordering again."
