Tikka Shack Indian Grub

Tikka Shack is such a great find! They have a fun fusion menu with Indian-style naan tacos, pizzas, and wraps all tasty, fresh, and unique. They also offer traditional Indian dishes too, so you can enjoy the classics or try something creative. Everything was served hot fresh and flavorful, and the vegetarian options were excellent. The menu is easy to navigate, even for someone new to Indian food. All of staff were very friendly and helpful. They have amazing outdoor space as well so you can accommodate larger groups easily too. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!

Great vibes, good tunes, we enjoyed our time, excellent service, and fantastic food. They take pride in what they do and they go above and beyond to make sure you have an enjoyable experience. Had the chicken tikka mango bowl, with garlic naan that was incredible. My husband had the spicy chicken, also excellent. The water bar was very classy too. Fresh ingredients, clean establishment, beautiful roses growing in the courtyard.

My husband and I ordered from their daily specials, which we would have missed if not for the kind staff who told us about them. She also offered a free taste of their spicy Souther Curry sauce (I was going to choose the least spicy level aka “House”) when she saw my hesitation as I was putting in my order on their kiosk. Excellent service, nice and clean interiors, and as they claim: seriously good Indian food!

This place is awesome! I've been here several times and will definitely keep coming back. Their food is very fresh and the combinations of flavors are interesting and makes for some fun dishes. There are many options for varying preferences. The Indian food flavors are on point compared to many other places I've tried Indian food at, and they menu is a fun fusion of different styles. Service is very quick and friendly and you can eat outside as well. You can order your food and pay on a touchscreen which will help you to see the different options very clearly if you're uncertain. Definitely worth it, please go and support this nice place!

Well, I had to come here by myself bc my Indian friends will not give it a try with me. I only got the Tikka Wrap with fries and i have to say it was a delicious meal. I don't know what they put on them fries, but they were da bomb!! Crispy and tasty, so good!! The wrap was even better. The wrap is made of non bread, which was nice and soft, the chicken was flavorfuland not dry, and there was so much melty cheese, it was sooooo yum!!! The side. of tika masala sauce made it even better. Its like a Indian frankie but with cheese. I already finished it off, but im still craving it. I will definitely come back to try their other items or maybe just go with the wrap again :P

Ms. Mari, the Server, service with a smile, was pro-active, welcoming, knowledgeable Hospitable Host. She went above & beyond. Outside the way in making me a taste & try a sample first. Offered promotions including a Cola, choice of nan or rice. She gave me quite nice rice quantity, pretty creative a value in the evening supper meal. Last but not the least, I' d like to do justice to my review by certainly definitely mentioning, mark my words, a hot naan bread right from the tandoor grill. It's a must try besides other gourmet cuisines. I ordered Tandooori Chicken. Platter Butter chicken option won't be bad either. Keep up al the good work and To the TEAM Tikka Grub Indian,inside & out. Cheers, Enjoy & Bon Appetit!

We had an incredible experience at Tikka Shack! From the moment we stepped inside, Sanjay and Marie went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The food was outstanding—we highly recommend the kabob bowl and the chicken tikka pizza. My husband also tried the samosas and the cutlet, both of which were absolutely delicious. We’ll definitely be back soon!

It was pretty good! We had this place in our want to visit. The staff had a good recommendation on getting the meal for two , which included 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, 2 naans ,and 1 desert. We chose the masala fries, paneer tikka masala, chicken butter masala, regular naan, garlic naan, and ras malai. It was a generous and delicious portion, and it was cashew free. Definitely worth it!

This place passed my Samosa litmus test with flying colors. One of the best samosas I've had in Austin in a long while. I always order their Chole Masala plate and it never disappoints. Also had their Goan Vindaloo Chicken. Reminiscent of Masala Wok (without the Chinese dishes), it has good consistency, good food, quick and attentive service. My only gripe is they need to open up a new store in Cedar Park/Leander.

Just went here recently and although not bad, it's definitely a fusion spot so go in with that mindset. We had: 1. Habanero tikka wings - def spicy but tasty 2. Tikka Wrap - delicious naan wrap with chicken and mozzarella. Big portion. Served with tikka sauce on the side which was yummy. 3. Lamb biryani - this was tasty but not the best I've had. Meat was tender though. 4. Malai Kofta - this was good. 5. Chicken kebab skewers - this was just ok. Served on big portion of rice You also have to order your food on the iPad at the front which is an interesting concept and could take awhile if you have someone who doesn't know how to use it. All in all pretty good!

I ordered to go and the customer service was great however the food was just okay. I got the wrap and it was a good size and looked good, but there was more cheese than anything else and I think the cheese made it lack in flavor. Also, they laid my wrap over the salad and the mango got my wrap so soggy I could barely pick it up. I will try it again, maybe no cheese next time and ask to separate the wrap from the salad. Also a dressing rather than a sauce for the salad would be better in my opinion. The sauce was good for dipping the wrap, but not for the salad and it tasted dry.

Is Tikka Shack traditional Indian food? Definitely not, and it doesn't claim to be. Is it tasty? Absolutely. I started off with the biryani and a side of naan, which I enjoyed. I get biryani every time I'm in Singapore, and I've never had a biryani in the US live up to that, so I was happy with this one, but not blown away. The naan was very good, as was the mango lassi. The left-field star of the show was the spicy chicken tikka taco though. First off, the portion size is huge. It comes on a full-sized piece of pillowy naan, and there's a generous amount of chicken tikka masala, along with a cabbage slaw, pieces of mango and tomato, and cilantro on top. If you're spice-averse, this wasn't incredibly hot. More like a small kick, and everything on that taco went so well together. The tikka taco and a mango lassi would make a perfect dinner for me. My friend got the tikka pizza, which was a different story. The description said the base was also naan, but it tasted a lot more like pizza dough, and had a much denser texture than the other naan. You couldn't taste the tikka sauce at all, the chicken was dry, and the cheese was way too creamy to have so much of it on there. The cheese was pretty much all you could taste, along with a bit of pizza dough aftertaste. If I could make it myself, I would bake the naan by itself so it could rise, spoon a bunch of the chicken tikka on top with a generous amount of tikka sauce, sprinkle just a bit of cheese, broil for a minute, and then put a good amount of cilantro on there at the end. Still rating Tikka Shack 5 stars because my food was amazing, but I'll steer clear of the pizza option when I go back because the taste was just odd and nothing meshed. Ambiance was nice--casual, clean, cute vibe. The service was excellent. Even though you use a self check-out kiosk to put your order in, the owner was standing next to it and answering questions. He also came back to check in on us after we'd had a chance to try our food, and was really friendly and welcoming.

ATTENTION!!!! New Indian Food Player town!!! So I was skeptical, because it's more of an order at a kiosks wait for food deal. However I just say, this place is awesome. The Ambiance- is Bright lively and a mix of the ethnic food served here and the lovely staffs culture. This place is spotless and clean Ordering is easy. And the staff is quite helpful. For me, I love this place because none of the curries have nuts! Except coconut milk and cream. In addition you have the right to order rice, no rice, naan instead etc. Food- Is Delicious!!!!!! I will tell you the seasoning and taste is better than Stark's, except for the fact that they do not have as many items. But the base curries and The Naan is MILES above Tarka and even masala wok. 1.) The Tikka Masala-Like literally can't go wrong 2.) The Butter Masala- very creamy not too salty, perfectly made. 3.) The Southern Curry is perfect and I would ask for it spicy. 4.) The Methai is wonderful delicate completed 5.) The Vindaloo has a perfectly balanced taste with the ginger. Appetizers- Samosa! Best season samosas. Honestly wel done The vegetable patties are the surprise amazing item!

I think this is run by the same people as Masala Wok without the indo-chinese specialities. ItItss more a fast casual concept like its competitor Tarka across the way. I like this one better than Tarka as I find the curries more flavorful here and it's a tad more fresh with more distinctive spice mixtures in their preparation. I got the Meth Malai and was satisfied as it had dry fenugreek and was something different than the standard butter or masala curries. I got double lamb for extra and it was overflowing with lamb so definitely if you want more protein pay a little extra for added meat. The curry was tasty but could have been a little more spicier. Next time I will be more brave and get a higher spicier level. The naan was ok. One thing though is when you get the food to-go they put the rice and the curry in the same container. It would be nice if they were separated as the container got kind of soft with the double steam from the rice and curry. +1 for using more sustainable containers.

Blech. Rice was sticky and was plain white rice, not basmati. Naan was soggy. Tikka masala was bland. Mango lassi came in a plastic juice bottle container, and was only about 6-8 ounces. Too many other good Indian Food places nearby.

As an Indian person, I can say that the fusion food at tikka shack is good, but it's not the most authentic. The service is good and the ambiance is nice for an Indian fast casual place. We ordered masala fries (better than masala wok), cutlet (not our favorite because it was soft instead of crispy), tikka pizza (good but spicy) and biriyani (not our favorite). We really like the tikka sauce pizza and the masala fries. We'd come back for those two but probably skip the other entree and app we ordered this time. Prices are reasonable and everything was ready in 15 min

Pretty good curry! And the spice levels run higher than the typical Americanized places so beware! Portions were a good size, especially the tacos! Those were huge and even more spicy! They were able to accommodate our group of around 10 pretty immediately on a Sunday afternoon which was nice. The servers were also super friendly which was a bonus.

The wings they say are "a flavor you've never experienced" is a bald face lie! These are the same mass produced and seasoned wings as they serve in gas stations for "spicy wings". Had no flavor and were the smallest flaps I've seen. The coconut shrimp taco was 90% filler with lettuce and cabbage filler, tiny bland shrimp. Really wanted this place to be good but it's just chain fast food Indian.

This place is right next to dragons lair. It took over the space where project pollo used to be. Husband and I saw it on our way in to dragons lair to play some games and decided to give it a shot for dinner. We are thoroughly impressed! And the prices ain't bad either. We left both satisfied. Husband got a chicken tiki masala and I got the malai kofta. Both of us got naan, and we also got samosas for an app. We didn't add any spice to our curries but both are minorly spicy as they regularly come so keep that in mind if you can't stand spice. There was a staff member walking around and he checked in on us a few times to make sure everything was good. Overall we had a good experience and could see ourselves returning :)

Tikka Shack is owned by Masala Wok, and they're both too spicy for me. I asked for a recommendation for the least spiciest dish, and he recommended the Tikka masala. It was just as spicy as the Tikka masala at Masala Wok, and there was no way to designate mild like Tarka. I'm going back to Tarka across the street. My mouth is burning.

This place was really good. I ordered the spicy chicken tikka taco and the size was huge! You definitely only need to order one if you aren't super hungry. Unfortunately, I didn't get a pic of my dish. It is spicy and sadly I can't handle super spicy dishes. The staff was super nice and was able to accommodate our rather large group ( I think 10 ppl) on a Sunday afternoon. If you like Indian food, I highly recommend this place!

I'll give it 4 stars. The food is not as good as Tarka, which is the most comparable place I can think of. The food is decent, but definitely nothing you're going to get super excited about. It is really nice that they give you Naan as a side with your meal instead of charging you separately for it (like Tarka does), so that alone makes it a better value. To keep this short, if you're looking for a ever so slightly better value than Tarka, and you want to shake things up a bit, this place will work just fine. Perfectly non-offensive and fairly reasonably priced. I'll take that.

good fast indian food option on the go. If you want authentic Indian food, this isn't the place for you. But if you want Indian food Americanized way this will do it. Place is clean, fresh and hygienic. Staff is courteous and manager is helpful. First Indian place I have seen that is cashier less and you pay for your food at the counter. Here you will find typical Indian dishes along with some fusion dishes such as wings, pizza, salads etc. very conveniently located on my way to work so I have stopped here a few times. Good Indian food option in Austin

Excellent food and amazing service! I got the tikka masala with garlic naan and samosas.. the tikka wasn't very spicy but it was so flavorful that I honestly didn't care which is big for me bc normally I am a spice fiend. Their decorations and outside seating are really nice, and the people working here were so kind And attentive! They have lots of really inventive menu items that I really wanna try, like the pizza and the naan tacos. Good price as well!! Vegetarian options too?! Basically amazing

Food was about what you would expect from an Indian restaurant. Even though this is a chain, the food tasted authentic. I ordered my food to go, and was surprised when they said it would be out in 30 seconds. It seems a little on the pricy side, but everything does these days. Thanks, inflation.

Awesome mango lassi and the Paneer Tacos haunt my dreams. This is such a fun fusion place with lots of flavor.

I have ordered from this establishment twice on Uber eats. It is packaged very well and extremely delicious.

Yum! Great, modern atmosphere. Staff was helpful and answered questions. I came in before the lunch rush and had my food in less than 5 minutes. The tikka was very creamy and mild, although it does have some spice to it. The chicken could've been more tender, but it was flavorful. It's clear the chicken is cooked and added to the tikka instead of cooking in the sauce. The rice was good, nothing too special but cooked perfectly. The naan. Wow! Loaded with flavor. I should've gotten 5 more! It's thinner than I've had at other places, but packed with flavor and has a great texture. Will be back!

Off night? Tikka Shack is usually reliable, but this time the chicken tikka masala was dry and underspiced. The fries, also tikka masala, were equally bland. The samosas and naan were tasty and fresh, though. Also, the staff is reliably friendly, so I'm planning to return.

Service was great! Manager and employees checked on us many times which was nice. The food was great as well! Honestly the best samosa I've ever had! I got the butter chicken with a hot spice level, which was actually pretty spicy but still really good! The restaurant itself was pretty and clean. Definitely coming back again to try some more things on the menu.

Delicious!! So excited to have another option for Indian food in the area. Everything we ordered was great, can't wait to go back.

Great service, wonderful flavor and food portions are awesome! I had the kabob bowl with chicken. The meal came with rice and mango salad. The salad was delicious! Ordered the garlic naan too. Over all very good food and service.

I enjoyed the food here. I've been to the Lubbock locations, as well, and all have excellent service. You'll get your food quickly and will not have long to wait. It's a very relaxing atmosphere, so it's a nice place to chill or chat with friends, family, or coworkers. They have outdoor seating, which is nice, in case one prefers a more quiet dining experience.

Food was great! Had the paneer tikka masala and samosa chat. Super clean and love that is organic and fresh. My food came out piping HOT!! Loved that-it's not often you go to a place and the food is that hot. Service was fantastic the owner is super nice and has a friendly smile (you want this place to do well just for him)

Welcome addition to Anderson lane! We like to get the butter chicken and tikka masala chicken. Great affordable spot for takeout. Thanks, Tikka Shack!
