A nice fast casual Indian restaurant in Uptown Charlotte so parking here is tough. This is a more of a grab and go spot but there is plenty of seating inside. The food is more modern Indian cuisine so not your traditional Indian food. They do have the classics like butter chicken, tikka masala, and samosas on their menu that you can order but they also have wings, fries, and other American favorites with an Indian twist. The staff is nice, and food does come out quickly. Overall, a good spot to try if you are looking for Indian food.

Love grabbing a quick lunch here during the work week. The chicken kebab bowl is always great and same goes for the garlic naan! This is a fast food style indian restaurant so service is quick. The chicken kebab bowl comes with tikka sauce on the side which I find to be a wonderful addition. The sauce is served warm and tastes great.

Thought the dishes lacked your typical bold, Indian flavor and the curry was a little liquidy. Tasted a little like what I'd expect from cafeteria food. The garlic naan, which more like a toasted pita, was sub par. The food did come out pretty quick and there was tons of seating. I also appreciated their bottled Indian beer selection. Unless you're looking for a quick bite with a group that doesn't have high Indian food standards, I'd pass.

Uptown has seen a large influx of Indian restaurants over the years especially since the end of Covid and the return of the office workers. While some of them operate as smaller cafeteria style options where you move down the line and tell them what you want, Tikka Shack is more of a fast casual type restaurant with a set menu. Some of the criticisms I've seen are that it is less authentic and I can certainly understand that point of view, but I still have to give them credit as they are efficient, consistent, and their food is quite tasty especially their garlic naan. I also enjoy their selections of fresh juices and soft drinks. The restaurant is clean and modern and upon ordering from the counter they will give you a number and bring your food out to the table. They offer some fusion type dishes including chicken wings and naan pizza, but I like to stick to the basics and order from their build your own curry menu. You choose the style of curry you want from a wide range of spice levels (you can request that they make it hotter if you are a fan of spice), then you choose the protein you'd like. It all comes served on a bed of basmati rice and you can finalize your meal with some delicious naan bread. Overall I really enjoy their menu concept, the taste of the food, and the portions provided. I think this makes a great lunch spot.

Went there for a quick bite on a holiday Monday. It was quiet and quick. A decent samosa chaat - home style. Would've appreciated some sev and tomates and visible looking green curry to top it off. I had to ask for more chutneys. The place is clean - order at the counter, they bring it to you kind. Plenty of options.

Got the mango chicken bowl. Ate 1-2 pieces of chicken before realizing the chicken had a strange texture and was infact undercooked. Gave the rest of the bowl to my dog. The restaurant wasn't busy at all so I'm perplexed as to why the quality is lacking.

Had a craving for something Indian and came across Tikka Shack while walking around. Across the street from a park area, doesn't appear to have street parking around but there are lots to park in nearby. Set up inside similar to typical quick order businesses. They have tables/chairs to eat in as well. One cashier to order from, they have the menu on 3 large TVs above the cash register and have some physical menus to look at and order from too. They have biryani, curries, naans, even a Tikka pizza for food options. Some dessert options and drinks too. Prices appeared decent, can build your own curry order and ranged from $10 and up.Went with the samosa appetizer, 2 samosas for $5 and comes with a small sauce for dipping. You can pay cash or card. While the cashier was friendly, it took almost 15 minutes for the samosas to be made. At one point I saw an employee call out asking why the samosas were taking so long. People that came after me were going in and out with food, and larger orders of food than what I made. The samosa had a nice crunch to them, but they were sweeter in flavor than I would have preferred. Not sure if I would return to try other options.

Bad food wasn't hot. The lady at the register wasn't very welcoming. Def need to be trained better. Idk what's going on here. The tikka masala lacked an authentic flavor. Coming from someone who has tried tikka through the whole east coast. This here was very bland. I'm literally holding it in my hand and can't finish cause I'm so disappointed especially after coming from a hornets game.
