Masala Mix

I recently had a very delicious dinner courtesy of Tikka Indian Grill. When my go to Indian restaurant had a 60 minute delivery time, we discovered Tikka Indian Grill. In addition to the positive reviews, a BOGO special (Pepper Chicken) was yet another incentive to give this place a try. The order was simple: BOGO Pepper Chicken, Samosa Chaat and Roti. Precisely 30 minutes later, the food was delivered promptly and well packed. The aroma was amazing. Unpacking each item, I observed that the portions were adequate (or good enough for me). A nice touch was the inclusion of the chutneys for the bread: cilantro, tamarind and onion. Fragrant Basmati rice was included per entree. I devoured my meal as though I had been competing in the Olympics--in record time. The Pepper Chicken was outstanding. Yes, it was spicy, but dont let the fact that it's called Pepper Chicken scare you. It was tolerable. I also enjoyed the Samosa Chaat. Regarded as street food, ithis selection was the perfect starter. Tikka Indian Grill is a gem and a keeper. With four locations (two in Brooklyn and two in Queens), I would highly recommend. High quality food just a neighborhood away--count me in! Tikka Indian Grill, you just gained new customers. Real good.

Tikka Indian Grill in Brooklyn tonight. Many great reviews online and some not so great. I decided to give it a try. Also, it was late so I did a takeout/pickup order. Compared to Manhattan's Indian restaurants, I've yet to find a really great Indian restaurant in this part of Brooklyn. Across the river, there are tons of great Indian restaurants that offer high quality authentic food. (Brooklyn has a few too.) Tikka Grill offers good Indian but the rice portion was small for a full price dinner meal. Also, the rice was packaged in a small plastic container. After trying some, I noticed that the rice had an odd taste. I ended up tossing it out & using some of my own stuff at home. Packaging is important. Many restaurants deliver their food in aluminum containers with a plastic lid. If you research this topic, there's been much discussion over the health safety implications related to the use of aluminum containers as well as the advantages & disadvantages of using aluminum vs plastic. If you're curious, suggest looking into it - it makes for an interesting read. Back to the food now... Chicken Tikka Masala and plain nan - my main meal was good. Very mild creamy sauce. Fluffy nan bread. Overall the food was fine, except for the rice. Maybe it was just a bad batch. May try again on a different day.

Was in the neighborhood on Tuesday had an appointment and afterwards went to look for something to eat and found this place and lucky I did had the chicken spinach curry with 2 tandoori roti and the curry comes with basmati rice which was very good and had there rice pudding afterwards I definitely would come back again and I definitely would recommend this place to all my friends and fellow yelpers as well

The food is delicious and staff always friendly. Lovely local business I am happy to support.

A delicious and fun time at tikka Marsala on 5th Ave near between 6th and 7th street - place was empty this Wednesday evening we decided to check it out! Our meal was delicious and you can bring your own wine! Even though it was empty they do a brisk take out business - we loved our meals and the large screen television played Bollywood videos! We really enjoyed them and our waiter Mohammed took great care of us and even educated us a bit about Bollywood ! My partner had a spicy shrimp dish and I had vegetable soup and pepper chicken - we asked for mildly spiced - and for dessert we had an Indian version of rice pudding that tasted like so much delicious fresh lemon in it! We loved our meals and our waiter. Prices are reasonable and we loved that we could bring our own wine! Oh and the rosemary naan was tasty also!

I can't believe I never noticed this little gem in Brooklyn. I always eat on that block but never saw this place until I noticed the view of the backyard. The garden is on a height overlooking other beautiful backyards, full of bright flowers, and has a vacation-like feel. The bread was amazing; I couldn't stop at just one. I really liked the mango lassi, and the lamb biryani was flavorful and spicy, just how I like it. I'm definitely planning to visit again soon. Just a great vibe.

Local Indian restaurant with numerous locations. We tried a variety of things but my favorite is the shrimp Tikka masala and paratha bread.

If you're ever in Williamsburg and looking for PHENOMENAL Food, @tikkaindiangrill Is A Spot Worth Trying The restaurant has such an inviting feel, from the beautiful murals expressing their culture and showing how seasonings play an important role in creating their best dishes What we had : Naan garlic bread Vegan friendly seasoned cauliflower Tikka chicken Mushroom tofu tossed in curry Mango Kulfi Pistachio Kulfi What we drank: Seltzer Water Mango Lassi Everything was super yummy 10/10! Service was amazing

Ordered takeout from this place so I can't speak for the service or ambience but the food is delicious! The chicken chop with lemon rice is so damn good. The chicken is so juicy and flavored with five spices. The lemon rice has the perfect hint of tartness to cut the richness of the chicken. The yellow daal tadka was good but I've had better. I think a particular spice was overpowering all the other flavors but I can't pinpoint the spice. Maybe too much cardamom? I also got a cheese naan which was good- I ripped a chunk out of it before I could get a picture lol so just trust me.

So good! I've eaten a substantial amount of chicken tikka masalas and this one hit DIFFERENT. So creamy and delicious with large portions! The garlic naan was my only caveat it wasn't buttery and garlicky enough for my liking. Otherwise the food was great!

Loved it! Was walking by in the neighborhood hungry and decided to give it a try here. We came during lunch, sadly the tandoor oven wasn't working so wasn't able to try any Naan or other tandoori items. But the food we did have was excellent. Oh boy do they know there spice. We asked for the lamb and chicken vindaloo extra spicy, they didn't hold back! Rarely does a vindaloo pack a punch even though always advertised as "spicy". The biryani was flavorful as well and the Mango lassi was probably one of the best ones I've had in recent years. I'll definitely be back to try some other items!

Very friendly people and good food, we ordered an assortment of vegan, vegetarian and meat dishes.

I had a (vegan)cauliflower and potato dish which was flavorless. The texture of the vegetables was less than desirable, and it seemed like the potatoes had been sitting around or soaking in water too long,since they were on the mealy side. The best part of the meal was the basmati rice which was nicely flavored and had a lovely aroma of cardaman. I love indian food for the rich layering of flavors and spices, but this was not it . I am hoping I just hit an off day for the kitchen, and will give it another try with a different dish another time. Maybe I just ordered a "lemon". On the positive side, the service was friendly and it was a pleasure to dine in a restaurant that was not packed and loud.

We ordered lots of food here. The mango lassi here is delicious and the food here is amazing. We had the Chicken korma and salmon entree. The chicken korma was good but the chicken was a bit dry. The salmon was seasoned well! The other food we got was shrimp korma and the chicken tikka as appetizers. I highly recommend the shrimp korma, very juicy and fresh shrimps. The complementary crispy rolls was good, I liked the variety of sauces that came with it especially the green sauce was a bit spicy and sour! Yum. The dessert was good too, I especially liked the pistachio ice cream!

Ordered take-out from Tikka Indian Grill on Tuesday evening. Expensive and not very good, I would search elsewhere for Indian food. Quality: I was not excited about any element of my order from Tikka Indian Grill. I started with the Aloo Gobi Samosa, which were borderline soggy, not the crispy bite you hope for. The sauces that came with it were good, but could not help the texture of the appetizer. The Chicken Tikka Masala was light on chicken and shockingly bland. I know it is a boring order, and one that often does not showcase the passion of the restaurant, but this was something I have had better in a frozen meal. Quantity: The quantity did not match the high prices. Value: $7 for Aloo Gobi Samosa. $21 for the Chicken Tikka Masala with Garlic Naan. Ambiance: Tikka Indian Grill is located in the Park Slope area of Brooklyn. It has a small and simple indoor space, which is dominated by a large mural. However, even though they do table service, there was a distinct vibe that it is really meant as take-out only. Crowd: A table covered in take-out orders, but no one eating in. Service: Pick-up was ready on time. Parking: Limited street parking.

Food was good, service great, nice little spot! The food was very tasty. We asked for spicy and it didn't disappoint! I recommend the lamb Chops which was cooked to perfection.

Every once in a while, the crap show that is 2020 tosses me some pleasant surprises to underscore the existence of silver linings. Tikka Indian Grill (a.k.a. my delivery savior) is one of those rare and wonderful treasures. It's become my favorite Indian restaurant in the area, and maybe even in general. The food has some actual spice; just enough for me to enjoy the burn without showing off how much of a spice wimp I actually am in the grand scheme of things. I'm basic, so my go-to is saag paneer, and their version tastes so fresh and flavorful. Another must-order is the samosa chaat, which is a total flavor and texture bomb: it's the perfect blend of savory, sweet, and tart, and mashed up yet slightly crunchy samosas. Their butter chicken is great, I enjoyed their black pepper chicken (it's a little spicier than I'd like but quite good), along with the methi mattar paneer, which had a deep onion-y flavor. The pumpkin kala chana is a very flavorful and light vegan dish. The chicken tikka masala isn't quite as rich and tomato-y as I'd like, but it's still tasty. If you're craving a base besides rice, get the naan and/or paratha. The achar (mixed pickles) is really tangy and zingy if that's your kind of thing. I'd skip the kheer (rice pudding). It had an odd aftertaste that I didn't really enjoy. Tikka Indian Grill is a little pricier than your usual casual Indian restaurant, but I think it's totally worth it for the quality of their food.

I ordered a saag paneer and chicken tikka masala which I was really excited about. But midway through eating, I crunched into something with a foul flavor. I spit it out and to my horror I saw a small cockroach. I was so sickened by the sight and taste. I threw everything away immediately. I called the restaurant to report what I had found and was told that the owner would give me a call that day but I never received a call. It's been a few days now. I wouldn't have written this review had she called me and tried to make it right, but I also want to make sure that other customers beware.

This is purely a biryani review. I'm from India, and I loved here just a few years ago. I almost consider myself a biryani connoisseur, trust me, I've eaten A LOT of biryani. And Tikka Indian has some of the BEST I've eaten in my life. It's the closest to the ones I've had in India. They got the spice right, the meat and rice are perfectly cooked and the portions are filling! Go all out for this one. Note: not served with raita, I had to make that myself, that's a bummer

They have chicken chop! Why this presumably Indian restaurant has a idiosyncratic Malaysian dish (which interestingly enough is called "Western" food in Malaysia) is beyond me. But I'm glad it did since I've never seen this dish in an American restaurant before. Pretty tasty too. We had some sterotypical Indian dishes as well which were, granted, also tasty. But the chicken chop (think a deboned chicken leg, battered and fried, usually with a sauce or gravy) is what I remember most. So strange they have it on the menu.

The food was incredible and the service was great! Not only was the food delicious, the portions were great and we both full and happy to have found this spot. It is a gem

We ordered food for my bestie here just as the world was slowly starting to reopen from its covid lockdown. We entered with masks, placed the order and waited outside for about twenty minutes. Fresh food yaaaaaay! It was also nice perusing this busy shopping and restaurant street while we waited. Tikka was clean. Staff was pleasant and appreciative for our business. No dining was allowed inside of course but they take delivery orders. (Check out their cute delivery mopeds in my pics) My bestie said his food was good. Much thanks to Tikka Indian Grill! The End.

Just ordered delivery from this place for the second time and it was even better than the first! First off, I love the fact that their vegan items are clearly marked on the menu. I hate calling and quizzing places about their menu items and asking what's vegan, so I am much more likely to order from a place that has vegan stuff listed. I ordered directly from their website this time, they were smart enough to include a post card in my last order with a discount code if you order from their website. Done and done. I should be doing that over using Seamless anyway. My food came much quicker than expected and it was still hot and absolutely DELICIOUS! I was so excited about the samosas I forgot to take a pic, but they were still crisp when they got here, which is not always the case with Indian delivery food. I followed that with the Tofu Mushroom Jalfrezi which was absolutely outstanding. I usually default to chana masala (which is what I got last time: also delicious) so it was nice to branch out for something different this time. I'm officially in love with this place. Definitely check it out, and let's work together to keep these indie joints open while we are all in the pandemic zone!

What happened today?I love this place. This place is always amazing. However, something was wrong today. I am totally vegetarian. I don't eat meat at all. Today, they gave me meat korma instead of vegetarian korma. I was so shocked about this. I could eat naan and impossible vegetarian kofta. Taste was great. However, I couldn't eat meat korma. Where was my vegetarian korma?

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I ordered the lunch special which is a great portion and price. I had the chicken tikka masala , which was wonderful, and it included Basmati rice nicely cooked. It also included daal and a samosa. The daal was delicious and samosa was a perfect potato puff. On the side i ordered rosemary naan...it was chewy and doughy in a good way. Do yourself a favor and enjoy lunch there!

This place is amazing. This is the best vindaloo I have had in NYC. Have sat an ate in here with the T series music and videos in the background and had their quick delivery. Cool for the summer, and the right kind for the plate I love. The lentil soup is great as well, it's great as a starter. They don't serve alcohol but I don't care for the first time. The service is immaculate and ordering and paying is seamless. Thank you guys.

A fellow yelper recommended the Biryani from this restaurant . It wasn't my first choice but you could feel his emotions from the review and I felt really moved by it so I figured it would be a safe choice to go with it . Turns out, it was just ok in my book . The food was dry overall and desperately needed sauces to uplift it . The flavor was good but nothing out of the norm . Value wise , it's not the cheapest Indian restaurant out there but they do offset that some with a reasonable portion size . Id try the chicken sagg in another occasion and if that is a flop then this restaurant would be a wrap for me .

This is our favorite Indian place. All the curries are flavorful and have a nice spice to them. Very quick delivery. Tandoori chicken is great, I wish they had a mixed grill option.

So this review is a mix of eveything all together. First off your website is very beautiful and easy to use. It has great photos of the items and makes you want to buy everything. You should add a spicy button to the spicy dishes or make it more clear what is spicy. What we order we had to stop after a few bites due to the spicy level and start eating yogurt. Next I love the idea of curbside but once I got there and called the young man said I had to come in. I was a little confused about that option being on your site. Well I went in and he was just sitting chilling, no one was inside so I didn't understand why the curbside couldn't happen. Other then that, like I said the photos on the site are amazing very colorful and just gives the food life.

I order from here often. Indian cuisine is one of my all time favorites, and Tikka is always great. One of the best biryanis I have ever had. I enjoy the different options that I have tried here not available at just any Indian restaurant. Great service when you eat in the restaurant. Prices match the cost of the neighborhood. Highly recommend

My favorite Indian restaurant in park slope. The tikka masala is amazing. Great flavor and consistent

We have finally found our Indian takeout! Tikka Indian grill is terrific! We've ordered from here twice and everything we've had has been excellent. Great lamb korma and chennai lamb, excellent chicken tikka masala, perfect methi mattar paneer. Just an fyi that all has an underlying heat that we love but are a bit of a stretch for the littles, so if this is a concern, korma would be your best bet. Delivery is swift and prices are reasonable as compared to other Indian restaurants. Order directly for better pricing. So happy to be able to recommend this terrific option for at home dining. It's truly the best we've had in a long time.

For 5.5 years, I've been without a reliably good Indian delivery restaurant. Felt like i was swimming in a sea of bland curries that could pass as tomato soup. Thankfully, a life vest has been thrown my way. From a delivery standpoint only, portion size, order time, and quality are excellent. Have not dined in this location yet, but I'm not trying to compare it to white napkin Indian restaurants either...not a useful comparison. However, the chicken tikka masala has texture and flavor that I haven't found anywhere else. The saag paneer is near perfect with a little heat to make it authentic. Genuinely happy about this recent discovery. Also, make sure you order from their website (vs Caviar, Seamless, etc.), not only do you get a discount but the restaurant takes home more money.

Excellent hospitality! Very casual but very professional. Food was well presented in black bowls and our orders of samosas were garnished beautifully. Even the condiments were top notch--especially the onions. We shared chicken saag tikka, black pepper chicken, and Bhindi Jaipuri. My favorite was the chicken saag: flavorful, plentiful, terrific texture, and spiced just right. The black pepper chicken was succulent and was in a aromatic sauce, spicy sauce. Yes, it's BYOB and we'll be back!

EVERYTHING IS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Found this place via a Google search and have been hooked ever since. Ordered food for retirement party for a Dental colleague -- of Indian descent -- and he was hooked! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Super small and expensive portions! At other local Indian restaurants, the same amount of food costs half! I requested "less oil" and my food was drowning in oil. Had to scrap a layer off with a spoon. I requested "more spicy" and the food was bland. Other local Indian restaurants at least add a few potatoes and vegetables to sauce-based meals. This was kind of like ketchup mixed with Chillis and topped with oil. The basmati rice is lacking in vision and flavor. Other Indian places in this neighborhood liven up their basmati rice with tasty spice or attractive garnish. The one thing this place does not skimp on is bland rice -- they are happy to fill you up with bland rice of lesser quality that you can buy from Key Food. When ordering delivery/take out, the chutneys are in microsized containers. Tikka Grill is a miserly operation trying to sucker us into eating "authentic" Indian food. If you crave oil and rice, come here.

Aromatic, authentic, exquisite Indian cuisine. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, which is not easy to do. Elegant dining in the back patio. This place is a gem.

Wow. This is really good. The chicken Tikka masala is so good. It has a very modest taste. It's not very spicy which means anyone can eat it. It preserves the rich coconut milk taste. It does however has a very strong taste of tomato. It seen came with Naan. It's a decent amount of food for around $10. My only complaint is based off personal preference, I wish there was less dhal and more rice.

This place is new in Park Slope and I hope it lasts bc it is so good! The staff is super friendly and made sure my gf and I were enjoying our meal. This place is BYOB so it's great to make a stop at Good Wine while on the way there. My review probably logically doesn't make sense because I'm coming down from my food high from this place. Please dine there and then tell me how much you enjoyed the rice pudding. You will enjoy it-bet!

Food was good. Ordered via delivery. Tasty assortment of entrees and appetizers. Nice space but never ate there.

The food is meh and definitely not good enough to come back. I do appreciate that they had some gluten and dairy free options for my food restrictions but we asked for chicken tikka massala with no spiciness for the children and it was straight up candy chicken. It was so awfully sweet that it was inedible. I've never not touched a dish in my life or not try to salvage it but we left it in it's entirety at the table. When we brought it up with the staff they shrugged it off and said it was sweet because we asked for it not to be spicy. For this reason I wouldn't return. There's too many other okay Indian restaurants in this neighborhood.

Best Indian food I've ever had. Dine-in & takeout are both great. Their samosas are fantastic!!

Delivery order for family. Food is great, keeps us coming back. Twice I ordered off their own website and the orders were missing that I'd ordered multiples of a few items. I'll probably add a note and call because the food keeps us coming back anyway.

Best Indian restaurant in Park Slope. This is a hidden family run gem. Our favorites are chicken tikka masala & vegetable jalfrezi--wow the sauce is delicious..

I couldn't even take a picture that's how good it was! To be pregnant and have this strong craving for butter chicken and then to dip my naan into THAT! My God, my God! I mean, even jobless it was worth every Penny and there's enough for two meals so it's a win win! The food is OUTSTANDING! And I treated myself to some Gulab Jamun and they were HOT in the golden syrup just giving me and baby all the life!!! DO ITTTTTT!

Great and authentic! Ordered delivery for the first time and everything was delicious and we were lucky with a very fast delivery time. Enjoyed several vegetarian entrees - chana with pumpkin, aloo gobi, and vegetable balls in a creamy nut sauce. Fantastic mango pickle, a great accompaniment to add some extra zest. Also loved their raita, with shredded vegetables. Thanks for not holding back on the spices Tikka Indian Grill, we loved it!

Delicious food but be prepared for spice (which I love). A little pricey but worth it. The samosas, lamb saag, black pepper chicken, and lamb kadai mirchiwala are favorites.

Tikka has become my favorite Indian spot in my neighborhood! They're offering takeout & delivery during COVID. The food is absolutely delicious & is ready fairly quickly. The biggest draw for me was that they offer Impossible meat-alternative options. I've gotten the Impossible masala (pictured) and I've gotten the Impossible korma and both were seriously yummy. Try these over their basmati rice with a side of garlic naan (pictured) & you can't go wrong. The last time my husband & I ordered from here, we had half of each meal leftover, so we had it for lunch the next day which made me feel like my money was going further! Adding Impossible jacks the price up a fair amount, however, I'm grateful to have a meat substitute option if I want it. The chana saag is also unreal. Creamy saag, with wonderfully spiced chickpeas mixed in & a touch of spice that'll leave you sweating. Yum! The times I've taken out from Tikka the people inside have been pleasant & helpful! Smiles all around.

After moving to the neighborhood and trying this place out, we have now ordered from here at least four times. We have tried multiple dishes and they are all always delicious. Saag paneer is a highlight and a must. It has become our go-to, we can't get enough.
