We were a large party and decided to split the Jumbo Combination which can easily feed 6 people. The Jumbo Combination has 7 chicken/beef/lamb options which makes this perfect for sharing and getting a good variety. I love that you can get Assorted Rice which I would highly recommend. Their Afghan Rice and Zereshk Polo are both so pillowy, fragrant, and delicious. Their appetizers are usually disappointing but they make up for it with the kebabs! They have plenty of seating and often host events. Check them out!

I ordered for catering for a birthday party. I ordered the beef mixed party tray with a large…read moreqabuli rice tray. It came out to be $250 with a credit card. The different mixes of beef were great. There was a nice smoky charred flavor from the grill, my favorite was the beef kofta(I think) because it was the softest. The other pieces of beef such as steak were decent they were not dry and hard at all but could be too chewy for those with sensitive teeth. There were nice charred jalapeños, onions and tomatoes in the tray as well. I loved the qabuli rice as you can see each grain of rice but it was still soft and tender to eat! I can't speak about the ambience as I came in to pick up a catering order and it seemed like they may have just been opening up for the day. The white sauce and green sauce were flavorful and great addition to everything. I could use up a whole bottle for myself. I would definitely order from them again and try the chicken tray next time.

I got a $6.96 tip added to my bill which I did not select. I looked at the bill and knew that this owner was crooked and deceitful. When I asked for a refund he smirked and laughed at me saying that I selected this option. I may be honest with a sense of humility but I am not stupid. I told him to eat my meal and that Allah will punish him in more than meet the eyes. In which age of humanity that this act goes unpunished.

I placed a pickup order through Uber for the four-person family combo. When I arrived, I had to…read morewait about 10 minutes at the counter before anyone came to assist me. After receiving the order, I asked why the green sauce--commonly included as a side with this type of meal--was missing. The employee at the counter told me they had run out. However, I noticed that there was a bottle of the same green sauce on every table in the restaurant, which made the explanation confusing and frustrating. Another concern was that the restaurant refused to accept credit or debit card payments. In 2026, declining standard electronic payment methods creates unnecessary inconvenience for customers. Unfortunately, the food quality also did not meet expectations. The lamb chops were very small and appeared dry and overcooked. Overall, the portion sizes and quality did not justify the price. Based on this experience, I would recommend that customers consider other nearby options. In my experience, Shirazi Kebab offers larger portions in their family meals and the food quality has been noticeably better.

The meal came with basmati rice and a piece of bread as well a side salad. I'll be honest the bread wasn't really my focus, but the rice, chicken and sauce definitely were. The chicken was flavorful and cooked really well, and the rice paired perfectly with it. The sauce brought everything together. I even ordered an extra large one, and it came in a really cool bottle, which was a nice touch. Everything was fresh, tasty, and exactly what I needed. My kebab craving was definitely satisfied. I'd order from here again.

I come here way too often to not update my review, if you are looking for a hookah lounge with a more "sober" and "adult" vibe from the loud childish lounges around with truly excellent hookah, look no further than Majlis. Also, the food is really good. The menu changes over time but it's always good regardless. Great place for a bite and a puff.

I wasn't very familiar with Afghan cuisine or what to expect from a halal döner kebab restaurant, but my experience was excellent. One thing I really appreciated was the open kitchen concept. As soon as you walk in, the kitchen is right there on the side, allowing you to watch the food being prepared. Everything feels transparent and fresh. I ordered the chicken gyro, which was packed with flavor and incredibly juicy. I also tried the lamb tikka and beef kofta. Watching the cooks prepare the meat on the large skewers over the grill made the experience even better. The meal came with rice and a side salad, making for a satisfying and well-balanced plate. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I'll definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu.

You get two tender thighs and a drumstick, all seasoned and spiced perfectly. The long grain rice is delicious, and the portions are genuinely massive for the price. The side salad and vegetables balance everything out nicely so the meal doesn't feel heavy. They include three sauces on the side, but honestly the chicken is flavorful enough on its own that I haven't really needed them. When I went in person to pick up my order, the place was really clean and well-kept, which I always appreciate. I also noticed they have desserts, so I'll definitely be trying those next time. I'd recommend ordering in person if you can -- you'll skip the extra Uber Eats fees and get the same great food for less. Hidden gem on Northern Blvd.

The Food The cooking…read morehere is the real thing -- not the flattened, one-note version of Indian food that so many places settle for, where everything arrives tasting vaguely of the same sauce. At Tikka n' Talk, the spicing has genuine architecture. Each dish has its own personality, its own balance, its own arc from first bite to last. You taste individual spices rather than a generic wall of heat, and there's a depth underneath that only comes from someone who actually knows what they're doing. The tikka is outstanding and lives up to the name -- properly charred at the edges, smoky from real high-heat cooking, and still tender inside. That combination is harder to pull off than it looks, and getting it right every time takes skill. The curries have body and complexity. Sauces that have clearly been built rather than assembled, with layers that reveal themselves as you eat. Nothing is greasy, nothing is heavy in the bad way, and nothing tastes like it came out of a can. The bread deserves its own mention. Fresh, blistered, warm -- the kind you keep tearing off pieces of long after you're full. The Room and the Service The name isn't accidental. This is a place designed for lingering, and the atmosphere delivers on it. Warm, comfortable, and genuinely welcoming without being fussy. It's the kind of room where conversation flows easily, where you settle in without noticing an hour has passed. The staff are a huge part of that. Warm, attentive without hovering, and clearly happy you came. They know the menu cold and will steer you well if you ask -- including on spice levels, which they'll actually calibrate to what you want rather than defaulting to whatever's easiest. That kind of care shows up everywhere in the experience. Food comes out hot, timed well, and exactly as ordered. Basic things, but plenty of places fail at them. The Bottom Line Tikka n' Talk is the rare restaurant that's excellent on every axis at once -- the cooking is skilled, the room is inviting, and the people running it obviously care. It's become a regular for us, and I recommend it without hesitation to anyone who asks where to eat. If you haven't been, go. Order more than you think you need. Stay a while -- the name is an instruction, and it's good advice. Highest possible recommendation.

I ordered the goat curry special which came with a side of dal, bread rice and a sweet kulab gaman for $17. The goat meat was tender, the curry isn't hot or spicy, the dal had a hint of spice from mustard seeds, rice was cooked and fluffy. I used the bread to sop up all the food from tray. SO delicious!! With Uber Eats costs and tips, it cost around 25$.
