Tikka

At just 2 weeks old, Tikka shines as a rising star! The service and food was wonderful and the ambience strikes a great balance between casual and nice. The spinach chat and paneer apps were fresh and tasty. The smoky black lentils were delicious with a perfect texture. The baby eggplant in a creamy sauce with ground peanuts was quite tasty, and the popular butter chicken was wonderful. All of the flavors stood out without being too spicy or too sweet. The service was prompt and friendly, and we were pleasantly surprised to learn about the 15% grand opening discount that is good through the end of February. Hurry and try it!

How great to discover Tikka, just a few weeks after it opened. You know you're in for a treat as soon as you walk in - the aromas of Indian spices smell delicious. Restaurants in this location seem to turn over fairly regularly, and I hope the neighborhood and those from other neighborhoods like myself support it heartily so we can enjoy their cooking and hospitality for years to come.I went with two friends for lunch, we were all impressed. We all loved the vegetarian thali, a lunch special. There's also a meat option. One friend commented that it was similar to a meal she got at Rasika for over double the price.Everything was great - the food, the attentive service, the ambience. You can tell that everything has been done with care. I'm looking forward to going again next week.

The service was attentive and not overbearing. The food was the best Indian the tikka the vindaloo the breads pickles all house made awesome

The food was really good and felt very authentic. Don't discount this place as only for takeout, the ambience and service are fantastic and I can't wait to go back.

Love this new place. We were missing an Indian restaurant in Van Ness and glad we have an amazing one now. Tried their spicy wings, momos , chicken tikka masala and beetroot Halwa and they were all amazing. Reminded me of home. Will definitely come back to try more food .

Great food and great service! Prices are reasonable and the ambiance is lovely. The staff was wonderful and we look forward to going back again

A worthy successor to Laliguras. The dining room has been completely renovated, and is now an attractive venue. Everything we had was excellent. The momos are still on the menu, and are great, with a delicate wrapper and tasty ground chicken inside. Samosas come three to an order, and are bite sized, as opposed to the traditional size. Nevertheless, they were fine, with not a hit of grease. We ordered the lamb vindaloo and baby eggplant in a delicate peanut sauce. Enjoyed both. Mains are not huge, but with the two starters, we were completely full. Prices are moderate. Looking forward to visiting again, especially when they get their liquor license. They're offering a 15% discount for the month of February. If the Van Ness neighborhood wants more dining options, I hope they support this great new addition.
