Tikka & Grill, Nepali and Indian Food

This place was phenomenal! The service was excellent— the staff was so friendly and even brought us free chai to try (which is amazing there, by the way). We got tandoori wings which were AMAZING and a lot of meat for the money! Also got some chicken dish I can’t remember the name of… also delicious and fantastic portion, lots of meat, no skimping here! Going to this place made our whole day better. Will be going back.

Really nice restaurant with good flavors in their food. We ordered the tandoori chicken as an appetizer and that was the only part of our meal that we didn’t really enjoy. The food has good heat, even at medium spice. We loved our chicken tikka masala and the momo soup. It was absolutely delicious. The servers were attentive and kind. I would highly recommend a visit.

Hello to all my gluten-free and Celiac friends, we tried this Nepali and Indian infusion restaurant. The servers were so nice and knowledgeable about gluten-free. I had the fried bakura. It was delicious. We also had lamb masala and rice. All the masalas are gluten free 🙂 of course! We I couldn't have the naan or the momos or even the noodles but always ask and make sure what can be gluten-free and vegan also. What I like about it is that on their menu it says that it can be made gluten free or not like the picture I took if you Go there. Just make sure to ask before you eat and enjoy

We ordered chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, lamb tandoori (boneless), and 2 ordered of buttered naan. The food was great, some of the best saag and tikka masala I've had. My husband had the lamb and thought the flavor was really good, but the lamb was overcooked and dry. The naan was very thin and more like a tortilla than what I've had at other Indian restaurants, so that was a little disappointing. Parking was sketchy - we ordered to go, and I followed about 4-5 other cars and double parked, blocking cars in the parking lot. There are very few spots. When I ran in to grab my food, they seemed very understaffed. There were people sitting in the waiting area, empty tables, and several employees working hard. The atmosphere was a little bit run down and hole-in-the-wall feeling. But really, my food was so delicious I would go back in a heartbeat. I'm hoping the lamb was a one off on a busy Friday night. We'll definitely try again!

OmG this was delicious!! And finally a place that has the right mango chutney to go with your tandoori chicken!! Seriously, ask for it if your order tandoori chicken, it’s meant to be together! Delicious food relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely return.

This is one of our favorite spots in Denver. Everything is delicious and the service is excellent. We love the momos, samosa chat, and then the sag paneer, CTM, and korma. The mango lassi is so good! And for cocktails, the chai martini is a favorite. Ce with with friends so you can order and share all the good food!

Food and prices were great! The serving sizes are so large that we had enough leftovers for 2 meals, and we are not light eaters! The naan was light and airy and tasted like dessert. Their alcoholic drinks were priced low as well. Service was quick, food was hot and delicious. The place is not fancy but it's clean. We will definitely be back!!

Tikka is a staple go-to for Indian food. I’ve had many different meals here and all are flavorful and delicious. They are always on time with takeout! Recommend!

My husband and I ate here for dinner for the first time and we were very pleased with service and food. Wonderfully surprised with all of the dishes we ordered (Lamb Korma, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Malai Kabob and Garlic and Cheese Naan), very flavorful and priced well! Definitely will be going back.

Once again Tikka n Grill hit the spot. Instead of eating in, i Got the butter chicken, manchurian mushrooms and naan to go. Absolutely delicious!!! I look forward to exploring more dishes that ive not tried before but this one was for me to share with a newbie to indian food. They loved it as well. Service was very prompt and food was hot even after the drive to parker.

Ordered takeout from Tikka & Grill and it was excellent. We got the chana masala and chicken vindaloo. The portions were large enough for 2 meals. I'd recommend 2 orders of naan for 2 people if you want some leftover.

Tried this place for the first time a month ago and couldn't stop thinking about it so came back today. It was as delicious as I remember it and I'm already excited to go back again. I highly recommend trying the Momo's as a starter, you will not be disappointed. The curries were great as well. One tip: I generally like a little spice, so we ordered medium heat. Next time we will order hot since medium wasn't as spicy as we thought it would be. Overall: this place is great!

I ordered for delivery and my food arrived quickly and was piping hot. I got the tofu tiki masala and saag panner. Both were full of flavor and perfectly spiced! This was enough food to feed me for 4 meals! Loved the depth of flavor and amount of food for the money. Delicious, authentic Indian food!

Seriously my new favorite place!!! Garlic Cheese naan, honey chicken & chicken tikka masala -OMG SO DELICIOUS!!! Didn't like curry until today!

What a hidden gem for Indian food lovers! I stopped in with my sister on Cinco de Mayo as a lot of local Mexican restaurants had long waits. It didn't disappoint! Their Saag Paneer was delicious and one of the best I've ever had. We were also impressed by their margs with fresh lime juice and LALO Blanco Tequila. I ate here several years ago when it was an Italian restaurant, the place looks the same as it did back then. It does appear there is some renovation-work in their bar area, excited to see how the place turns out!

Great food, friendly staff. They could use some help with decorating, but that didn't matter as the place was comfortable and they had great food.

This review is based on my experience via takeout (Uber Eats or DoorDash) only. Indian food is some of my favorite comfort food and I was excited to try this place since it came highly recommended. I've now lost count of how many times I've ordered from here and I have yet to be disappointed. The restaurant has always been prompt to pick up the order and get it fulfilled. Food has always arrived well-packed and hot, but that's also a benefit of living close by. I did see the other comments about the food being very salty, and I have picked up on that at times, but it has deterred me. I've rotated through all my regular dishes I've gotten from other restaurants and I have very much enjoyed Tikka and Grill's take on almost all of them. I have yet to dine in so cannot speak to the restaurant itself; I've only passed by it driving down Broadway. Hard to convince myself to go when the delivery process has always been a breeze through the third party services. Always open to trying new Indian spots but my experience ordering from here has been positive thus far.

The food here is really excellent and the drink prices can't be beaten! Check out my drink menu photos to see the prices I'm referring to. The food menu is huge, so come with some patience and some time to read through the creative variety of foods! This is an experience after all, right?! I tried the mushroom manchurian appetizer and it reminded me of chicken wings without the chicken! The breading and sauces had all the flavors you'd expect in an app like wings. It's also topped with sesame seeds, FYI, for anyone with nut allergies. Also had the vegetable coconut soup, which was called vegetarian but above it the heading says "our favorite vegan soup" so I guess it's vegan! You'd never know it and if you're a meat eater, many of us are omnivores, but don't think twice about getting this soup and worry that you'll miss the meat. There is such flavor and spice in this soup! If you are sensitive to medium spice or spicier, definitely really talk with your server about what you order to make sure it's something that has heat or is available in completely mild. I would say overall here, they lean more towards medium-level spicy. Ethnic restaurants such as Tikka and Grill get underrepresented in the vegetarian and vegan lists, so let's start getting more of these included. The trendy (usually pricier spots) get pointed out and but we need these relevant, affordable, and knowledgeable neighborhood ethnic restaurants showcased more! Emphasis on "affordable" because no one needs to pay $24+ for a "cauliflower steak" which is one slice of a cauliflower head that costs about 3 bucks retail markup in the grocery store. Many people in India don't eat meat, so this culture is well-adjusted to offering non-meat options. And they do it right, with a massive ton of flavor! I'm sure it helps they've been preparing this type of food for years before it became trendy in the US! And don't worry about your meat-loving friends! Several dishes have meat options, many are chicken but you'll also find some seafood like shrimp or fish. Though beef isn't big in India as it is in the states, lamb is another option on the menu at Tikka and Grill. I've noticed there is a second location on 6th so I will have to check that one out, as well, and if that happens to be a better location for you, reader!

This place is so good! We tried almost every flavor of naan they have and both our main dishes were delicious. Highly recommend.

Food tasted good. Naan was cold and Samosas were soggy. Had to crisp in oven and reheat Naan in oven

I thought it was just okay. A word of warning: their online ordering system is a little confusing and we thought we were ordering from the 6th Street location. Showed up to pick up the food and learned we ordered at this location instead, then had to battle traffic to get to Broadway. Ugg. Maybe as a result, the samosa chaat, which I was SO excited for, was soggy, cold, and disappointing. The naan was really flat, more of a chapati than the fluffy naan I was picturing. The saag paneer and chicken tikka were fine but not great, especially at the price point. The saag paneer in particular could have had more paneer.

We've been to their 2 locations in Denver and never been disappointed. There are so many interesting and deliciously prepared Indian dishes that it's hard to choose! There are lots of different options to allow any kind of diet preference/need to leave feeling more than satisfied. We've tried several entrees and sides, and Naan (insanely yummy). Everything has been so good that we're Thinking we should just go line by line through the menu over time, and keep notes! The servers are helpful and friendly as well. They have a full bar and they are definitely family friendly. My 1 word of caution is take the heat factor slowly. Medium was a little too spicy for my husband so we'll probably stick with mild, which still provides a very nice bit of warmth.

Just ordered takeout and it may be the best Indian food I've ever had. So so good! I had the lamb vindaloo and it was delicious.

First off, this place has excellent parking considering it's located right off of South Broadway. We walked in and were instantly greeted by the hosts in this lovely restaurant. The menu is extensive and I loved the variety of dishes on there, some of which I'd never heard of despite trying many Indian restaurants around Denver. I like to stick with chicken tikka masala when trying a new Indian restaurant and I was not disappointed. What seemed like seconds after we ordered, our food arrived at our table and this was the most vibrant chicken tikka masala I'd ever seen. I ordered mine mild because I don't do well with spicy food but my friend tried out the medium spice and she said it was perfect for her taste. The flavors were immaculate and the chicken was cooked to perfection. No stomach aches here. I also appreciated the serving portion size and the fact that I had a good amount of leftovers for the next day. The garlic cheese naan was more cheesy and missing some of that classic garlic flavor. And the vegan masala chai was a little too sweet for my taste but the chai flavor was decent. Overall, this place has very attentive and speedy staff, a large selection on their menu, and fantastic portion sizes for the price.

This place sounded just right for lunch--and I appreciate it when restaurants offer a lunch menu--which Tikka and Grill delivered. The noodles with chicken was tasty with medium spice offering the right heat for me. The lentil soup (included) was tasty. My friend enjoyed his mashed eggplant dish with rice. The menu states these dishes come with papadam but none was included. However, the portions were so generous we didn't need any more food and we both left with leftovers for the next lunch. The restaurant was very simple but I would return for another lunch.

This is near work and happily convenient to get to. The day I went a bit after the lunch hour and I was able to get a spot in their parking lot. When I walked in, the host looked me up and down and then asked what I wanted. I said I'd like to eat in for lunch. He looked around and said, "is it just you?" I affirmed, yes it's me, just fabulous me. He sighed and gestured to a side of the room for me to presumably sit anywhere. A menu with the tiniest font ever was produced. I ordered chicken tikka Marsala. They brought out a lavash cracker with three delectable dipping sauces. It took about 25 minutes for the food to come out. I was confused about why that was. There was two other tables and lots of staff lounging around. Once the food came, all was forgiven. Chicken Marsala is a bench mark and they exceeded the mark. It's expensive, I was charged $30 for lunch. The service is dismissive and I was clearly a bother.

Seriously good Food. One of my children ordered via Uber Eats and I was amazed how colorful and flavorful every dish was. Great deep rich Tikka masala. Flavorful mango lassi. The shocker was the Mushroom Manchurian. I could not believe it was a vegetarian dish. Great flavor and texture. I would definitely come back and would Highly recommend this place.

I don't want to leave 1 star because I always feel bad leaving these kinds of reviews, but it needs to be said. The food is great, but everytime I order for pick up it's an absolute nightmare. 45 mins usually after the assigned pick up time, but today I ordered at 6:59pm and it's 8:08pm and I'm still here waiting for my food. Uber and food delivery apps are in and out, but if you're a peasant who picks up food for themselves you get absolutely shafted. Same thing happens at the 6th Ave Tikka&Grill as well. :/

Food was high quality and absolutely delicious. My online order was completed accurately and quickly. The restaurant itself appeared clean and had multiple seating options.

I got the chicken tikka masala. It was an unnaturally bright red color which was concerning. I got medium spicy which had a good kick to it and not too spicy. The dish was pretty good! I'd come back to try more. They definitely did not give enough rice for two people to share. The place is located on a corner where you can find residential parking. I parked a 1.5 blocks away and could smell the food from my car

I recently moved down the street and have been here twice now and love it. The staff is friendly and the food is great. We get the chicken vindaloo and saag paneer with cheese naan and garlic naan. They also give you a little appetizer plate. It's nice and quiet inside,

I didn't like this place and won't be back. The samosa and naan we got was not crispy at all. The biryani we got we so spicy it was borderline inedible even though we asked for medium spicy. The lamb vindaloo was not very good. The chicken tikka masala was ok. The guy who took our order on the phone and who was there seemed very unhappy.

So this place is pretty authentic. I think if I had to describe it as far as Indian food goes, it would be savory. Some Indian restaurants make curry that have a sweetness. That's what I grew up on. So this place was a little strange. The consistency color texture was all amazing, but there wasn't a hint of sweetness. We got the makhani chicken and the chicken tikka masala. Both were identical to each other in appearance and flavor profile. Their rice is very good. Their naan is very good. And samosas are very good. The service is fast, not friendly. But who needs that when you're hungry and the food is hot and delicious. So make sure you tip. There's indoor and outdoor seating. And it is well spaced so there is privacy. It's definitely niche with some cool ceiling lamps. But definitely old school. They serve a variety of drinks but there is not a full bar. So if you like savory curry, this place is definitely worth checking out. If you like something with the hit of sweetness, skip it.

First time having thukpa, which I'd wanted to try for quite a while! The broth was really delicious, albeit very spicy even at just a "medium"! (My friend who ordered "spicy" could not finish it.) The noodles and vegetables were ok but unexceptional--noodles were thinner than I'd have liked (though that may just be how the dish is), and at least the peas were probably frozen. But the flavor and spices? Impeccable.

It was super good and they have an interesting ambiance. Their food was amazing and I got something unique but I can't pronounce it nor do I remember it. The kabobs were super good and they had a sort of blended mango drink that was amazing. I'm not super familiar with Indian food so I don't really remember. We ordered a lot of stuff and everything was amazing. The service was attentive enough.

Ordered delivery and it came quickly, all the food was piping hot and incredibly fragrant which got us extra excited. The tandoori chicken wings are a 10/10 - so much flavor and supremely tender and juicy! Please get these and enjoy the finger-licking goodness in the comfort of your own home. For breads we ordered garlic naan (loved it) and the jalapeño roti (these had quite the kick which I loved but was a bit overwhelming for my partner) Our mains were the lamb korma (medium) and the chicken jalfrezi (Indian hot). The lamb korma is one of our faves that we love to try at different restaurants, and Tikka and Grill did not disappoint! The Jalfrezi was new to me, but I loved it and will order again. The "Indian hot" packed a punch and the dish itself had to a of veggies and meat pieces - enough to make 2-3 meals out of! Overall this is a great spot that we will definitely be ordering from in the future, both for in-restaurant and delivery!

I've ordered from Tikka and Grill twice (delivery). I was encouraged by the positive reviews, and loved the passionate curry descriptions, as well as the unique items, so I decided to deviate from my usual place. The first time I ordered Chicken Makhani (mild); Saag Channa (mild); Rajma & Aloo Masala (hot); Shahi Paneer (medium), and naan and veggie samosas. I have to say this experience wasn't super. The samosas were pretty soggy from transport. The paneer is thin cut triangles, which isn't my favorite. The saag was good, but not very spinachy. The biggest issue though was the spice factor. I like heat, but this was overwhelming. The medium dishes were hot and the hot was inedibly spicy. (It actually made me dizzy, which I didn't realize was even a thing. Ha). I ended up adding half a can of kidney beans, a full potato and two tomatoes to the Rajma & Aloo to salvage it for leftovers. That said, the flavors were promising and I thought I would give things another try in case this was an outlier experience. The second time I ordered I selected Chicken Rogan Josh (medium); Chicken Shahenshah (medium); Korma Veggies (mild); and Baingan Bharta (mild), along with some roti. I played it safe on the spice by not ordering anything hot, but I will say the medium was more reasonable as well. No issues whatsoever. And the curries were delicious. I loved trying the Shahenshah for the first time, totally delectable and very tender. The Baingan Bharta is probably the best I've ever had. (This dish can vary a lot in style, so it's tough to compare, but this eggplant was super smoky in flavor. Great care clearly went into charring it). And the Korma veggie assortment was impressive and plentiful. All in all this was a great meal. So I say, experience redeemed. I will note one of the awesome things about this place is that you can make almost any curry vegetarian (with multiple types of veg selections), and most are also available vegan. I love that accommodation. While I eat meat, I love veg curries, and I like that Tikka and Grill allows you to get more traditionally meat preparations with vegetables instead. Awesome approach.

This place is delicious! Trust me I had past by it a ton of times sitting atop my painted horse and never went on a count of the cattle drives I was leading. Then one day I was like "ahhh heck why don't I give these fellas a try?" Man was I happy I tied my pony to their hitching post. You'll find quite a few of the usual fair and some things you may not recognize. I strongly encourage you to dodge the rattlers and the javelinas. Pull up a stool to the bar, wet your whistle and satisfy that grumblin' in your food cavern. Yeeeee haw what a beautiful buzz what a beautiful buzz!

The food was good. The service was ok, but they need more staff. I don't know what we were thinking walking into a restaurant on Broadway on a Friday night. It was packed. We waited a pretty long time to get greeted by a host as they were also bagging up to-go orders. This place was busy. Rather than wait 45 minutes for a table we were able to sit at the bar and order food. The bartender was really friendly with everyone. We were able to order after a while as we watched him make drinks. We got our food reasonably fast. The problem? I had ordered a cocktail immediately after sitting down and didn't get it until after we had started eating. I also had to ask for water. The food was good. I recommend the place. They were just understaffed and overwhelmed. There were a ton of people waiting for their to-go orders throughout the night. It is really popular. I recommend trying them out.

Pretty decent Indian! The spicy is pretty spicy so I went with the medium chicken tikka masala and it was perfect. They give you a lot of meat which is always a plus!

I was in town for a few days visiting a friend and this was our first stop. It was so good that i had to go back the night before I left . The flavor of everything was perfect. The vegetable coconut soup is a must try!

The food is great for take-out! Large potion sizes that are quick to pick up. We have dined there once or twice but prefer pick-up cause of convenience and parking!

This place is fantastic. The portions are big, the food is delicious. Highly recommend getting a few curries and sharing with friends / family!! So yum. The vibes are kind of diner / sports bar-ish... great for a family vibe, not so much for a sexy date night. Nonetheless.... Y U M !

The food was great with beautiful colors and aromas. We had the appetizer mushrooms and the vegetable pakora.. Main course was garlic naan and Chicken Tikka, as well as a curry dish. Everything was delicious. We ordered medium spicy on appetizers, but enjoyed the Mild for entrees. Can't wait to come back again

I had eaten takeout from Tikka and Grill and decided to try the restaurant with friends. It is now our favorite Indian restaurant. When I walked in I was underwhelmed but the service was great, the food was great and we were with good friends. The menu is large because it is both Indian and Nepalese. As someone who can't have dairy, this was the first restaurant I have been to in a long time that had so many non-dairy options or they could make things dairy free. And not stupid expensive like so many restaurants these days.

I found this place simply by googling "Best Indian food in Denver" and this place popped up. I went there with my friend who was trying Indian food for the first time and they nailed it! Everything was soooo good starting with appetizer and finishing with mango lassi. The interior is really cute also. I saw a bunch of to go orders and I can honestly say - it is probably indeed the best Indian restaurant in Denver

This is the best Indian restaurant I've ever tried. We got the date naan and the momos this has to to be this most authentic real Indian food. It's so flavorful and they have a full bar! I love this spot

So delicious! We had never ordered Indian food before so we just picked one from DoorDash and wow were we blown away! I have tried paneer tiki masala before so we got that and randomly picked their Dahi papari chaat and both were amazing! The Dahi papari was so fresh and so flavorful. Highly recommended and the tiki masala with medium spice but spiced than I expected but we really liked it. We also got the garlic naan and it was easy to tell it was made with fresh garlic and made daily. Highly recommend this place and the prices were also incredible for the portions. We're really excited to eat there someday.

Great food. Decent dice servings. Slow service sometimes. Mellow casual dark ambiance.

Some of the better Indian food we've had in Denver. Great spice and flavor, large portions as well. Hidden away a little bit off Broadway, but don't be deterred, this is a great spot and we'll be back for sure. Highly recommend.

Food was pretty good, but I waited over an hour for takeout in a restaurant that was mostly empty.

Food was excellent, we competed with soccer game on tv for service so a little slow. Otherwise a decent time.

Arrived on a Friday night at 8:45pm and was refused to sit down. Restaurant had a few tables available and people were just being served. Five men working there just looked at us while doing nothing while being turned away. Ended up ordering to go because they refused to seat us and was the only option other then going elsewhere, then messed up the order worse then a Taco Bell would. Never going back.

Don't you love when you intend to go somewhere else but then by luck you stumble upon another really great restaurant? That's what happened to us here. Was recommended to go to sushi den but the line was out the door. My brother and I were starving and found this amazing Nepali and Indian restaurant. We were suggested an appetizer and I believe it was the samosa chaat... it was delicious!! A good mix of vegetable samosa, tamarind, mint chutney and spicy chickpeas. I got the chicken curry (spicy) with paratha (I would replace with naan next time). It was amazing! Actually my mouth is drooling just thinking of it. My brother got the lamb Madras (spicy) and he really enjoyed his meal too! Their spice level is on point with true Indian spice !!! The Indian beer is pretty good too! Would highly recommend this place!!!!

WOW! Truly one of the best places for Indian food! The food was amazing and the naan was truly the best I've ever eaten! We will absolutely be back! Parking is a nightmare, and service was meh but the food was well worth it!!

Masala entree was excellent, but beware that meat is sur-charge for all entrees. I did not like the momo dumpling entree. Not did I like the vodka mango lasi.

Wow. So thrilled to have this great new addition to South Broadway. I live in the neighborhood and have eaten here a few times now. Each time, I walk away really pleased with everything I try! First off, their street food/appetizer game is ON POINT! The have items on their menu that are so hard to find anywhere else, yet really hit the spot. The "pani puri" is one of my faves, and I also really liked their samosa chaat (although that's more of a common item across other Indian restaurants, they aren't always as flavorful as here!). On to the entrees-- my husband and I have had a variety of items, and really love each unique, authentic set of flavors in the dishes we've tried. You can really smell the ghee in the items that are made with butter, the tangy delicious of the tomato-based sauces, and the bold flavors of the spices... and if you ask for it hot expect that they will be generous in adding chili! I usually don't order tikka because it's often a little dry or not as flavorful... but I recently ordered the shrimp tikka from here, and it is hands down the best tikka I've had at any restaurant in Denver. Highly recommend!

You can tell this place is good before you even walk in because it smells so good around the restaurant. We got the chicken shahenshah and lamb tikka masala. Best I've had in denver!
