This is my new favorite Indian restaurant in Arizona. The location is very clean and it's well decorated. The decor is nothing fancy, BUT the food is absolutely wonderful.. We did not have one bad dish. Loved all if them!! I will be coming here again and again. The service very top notch as well. Friendly prompt staff. read more

I've been on the search for good Indian food in the valley as I LOVE Jax Spice in Jacksonville when traveling for work, but haven't found a place I love back home. What I Ordered: - Coke: Nothing beats a Coke on a warm August day in Arizona when dining out. - Butter Naan: Warm and freshly made with great flavor. I'd definitely order again, or a cheese naan as that's another one of my favorites. - Chicken Vindaloo (Spice Level: Spicy, just below 911 lol): This had some heat to it, but surprised that it didn't have more. I inquired with the waitress if anyone orders 911, and she said no. She seemed shocked that I didn't think it was spicy. Perhaps it is official? I'm dead inside. Despite the spicy spice level lacking, the food was good. I would return as it is a comfortable location with various booths and table seating. Likely try the 911, and see how much it jumps the heat index to go from their spicy to 911. read more

Came here to meet a friend tonight and we both thought the other person decided on this place, but since we already sat down and it was quiet and calm inside, we decided to stay. The food was pretty good here, however, I was severely annoyed with the waitress who wasn't really trying to service her customers but wanted to argue for most of the experience here so hence the two stars. Read on to see why I gave a lower rating than I normally would. Since this place is called Tap N Tikka, they had a nice selection of draft beers and I was impressed with their menu, which was on a digital board. The waitress tried to sell me on an Indian brewed beer (for example, Taj) and I just wasnt in the mood for one. Ive been to India several times and have had some of their beers in country. I asked for the Roses by the Stairs Czech Pale Ale and she didnt know if they had it. So I then said, if you dont have Roses by the Stairs, I'll take a Schoner Tag, which is a wheat style Hefeweizen. She then brought me the Schoner Tag, which was a very good beer. Next, we told her we weren't too hungry and mainly wanted to snack on some items and this is where she was being quite annoying. I mentioned the chaat on their menu and thought maybe these would be small bites as these are considered roadside snacks in India, but then she had to tell me oh no they are big portions, so I am like ok... I then saw kati rolls on the menu and thought we could get these and she says oh they are like big burritos, so then I said, well we could cut them in half and share it, but she seemed to think oh they are too big. OK, so after discussing the appetizer menu and couldnt seem to land on much, we now move onto entrees. She then suggests we share a dish, which we were both fine with. She initially suggested Reshmi chicken and said it had a creamy sauce, so we agreed. So, when we finally order the Reshmi chicken, I also asked for a garlic naan to soak up the sauce with and then waitress says oh its not too saucy. So, at this point, I am like whatever lady, can we just order here as you're not being helpful?? Then, she says oh popular dishes here are chicken tikka masala, butter chicken and also bhuna chicken. She said bhuna chicken was her favorite and better than the other two and had a sauce to it, so we finally agreed on this. When the chicken arrived, it came with rice and also we ordered the garlic naan too. The chicken was very good and flavorful, but I doubt it was bhuna chicken as it was a lot more saucy than how bhuna chicken is normally cooked. Bhuna chicken is normally more dry, so I dont know what this waitress is talking about. Garlic naan was so-so and I have had much better elsewhere and for $4.95 a piece, not worth it. I didnt eat much as I was headed to another meal, but did have a bite of chicken for taste and had one piece of naan. We had leftovers and she brought two take away containers. I asked for another container and she wanted to argue about this too. At this point, I just wanted to get out of here. I was like, lady, can you stop arguing with me? The food here was good, but the service was severely ruined by a waitress that didnt know what she was talking about and kept arguing. I thoroughly did not enjoy this experience. And on my receipt, the order was rung up as Butter Chicken and not Bhuna Chicken. With so much competition now (and so hard to earn a dollar and with skyrocketing inflation) and with plenty of other good Indian restaurants around, needles to say, Tap N Tikka, you lost my business and I wont be coming back, thanks to your rude and not knowledgeable waitress. read more

We went to Tap N Tikka for my birthday dinner, and unfortunately it ended up being a pretty disappointing experience. My wife and I are vegetarian and usually love Indian food, but this time we decided to listen to the server's recommendations instead of sticking with the dishes we already know and love. Big mistake. The timing of the food was really off. The veggie platter came out before the naan and rice. Then the naan came out, but still no rice. Everything felt staggered from the kitchen, and it made it hard to actually enjoy the meal when the components were arriving 10-15 minutes apart. With Indian food especially, timing matters. You want the bread, rice, sauces, and entrees together so the meal actually makes sense. As for the food, there were more misses than hits. The veg samosas were not very good and had an unusual spice flavor that we just didn't enjoy. The paneer fingers were probably the best thing we had, but the dipping sauce that came with them wasn't great. The tandoori veg platter was also underwhelming. The tandoori potatoes were good, but that was about the only standout. Since there was no bread or rice with it at the time, it felt incomplete and awkward to eat. Eventually, we ordered tikka masala sauce separately just to try to salvage the meal. To be fair, the waitstaff was nice and the restaurant itself was clean. I don't want to make it sound like everything was bad. But for a birthday dinner, and especially as people who usually really enjoy Indian food, this just missed the mark for us. Too many misses and not enough hits. Unfortunately, this is probably a hard pass for us moving forward. read more

Tap N Tikka is a place I've long wanted to try, and I finally took the opportunity to do so. All I can say is, if you love Indian cuisine, don't miss this spot! The restaurant is clean and staff is extremely polite and friendly. They've got quite a comprehensive menu with a lot of traditional favorites, alongside some dishes I've never heard of m, but that piqued my interest. Ultimately, I settled on their garlic naan and chicken vindaloo, both of which were incredible! I love spice, but this dish can get really spicy, so if you're not a big fan of spice I either recommend going very low on their spiciness scale or potentially opting for another dish. All around, an absolutely fantastic experience and I will definitely be back soon! read more

Tap N Tikka - Chicken vindaloo - Indian Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

We always drive by Tap and Tikka and finally decided to try it, so glad we did! It was so good. We got the Chicken Vindaloo and Garlic Naan. We went with medium spice, which was actually pretty spicy, but we love spice so we didn't mind. If you're not a big fan of heat, I'd definitely recommend going with mild. The vibe of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, and the service was friendly, but a little slower than we'd like. I know it was busy but the staff seemed like they were running around a lot. Overall though we had a great experience. The Flavor was incredible, and we're already planning our next visit! read more

Tap N Tikka - Indian Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I should have written this review after my first visit, but I've been back several times since then. The food here is amazing, so flavorful, rich, and fresh tasting. In my various times coming I've had lamb biryani, two different types of thali, chicken tikka masala, chili paneer, reshmi chicken, desi dal tadka, and of course, mango lassi. Everything is absolute perfection and spice. The staff are all friendly, last night we had Simar who was attentive, funny, and we enjoyed some good banter. During the week for lunch it's a bit quieter but on a Friday and Saturday night it's hopping! Fun environment with good beer on tap, craft cocktails, and music. read more

Finally a delicious Indian restaurant close to home! We've dined at Tap n Tikka several times, and truly each time is better than the last. On the weekends during dinner rush, you will see that the place is packed! It's a fairly large dining area with optional bar seating. The bar area is such a vibe with the green and gold accents and gorgeous wallpaper running across the back. Every meal we've had, the food is packed with flavor and an aroma that will wow your senses. The portions are fair, I feel a little more on the rice portion would be reasonable. The naan- fluffy, soft and just can't get enough. The menu is quite large with an array of options for everyone. We've yet to try the dessert, but I'm sure it's great. Great atmosphere, top notch food & friendly service every time. read more

Haven't had a chance to dine in but we have ordered takeout a few times and the food is very good. Everyone is nice and welcoming, even when you're just there for a pick-up order.

Hubby found this place for us to stop in for a late lunch after a quick car cruise through Tortilla Flat. Place was clean, and it was a little busy but not too much. This place serves authentic India food & a good variety of adult drinks. We orders the Chicken Manchurian, traditional butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan. I must say, I absolutely loved that they used dark chicken meat in both the butter chicken and tikka masala, because the chicken was so tender and tasty, not what you'd get if the breast meat was used. I usually prefer butter chicken but the tikka masala here was just delicious. It was full of flavor and spivesAlso this was the first time I've tried chicken Manchurian, it was so good, savory with a bit of sweetness, and had a bit of a kick. read more

Delve into Dehli-ciousness at Tap N Tikka! We went with some friends and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Service was excellent, food was delicious and a nice selection of beers on tap too! I forgot to get a picture of garlic naan and garlic cheese naan but it was delicious! We shared tandoori chicken wings and the two different naan. We had chicken samosas and our friends had the tandoori chicken platter. We were all very satisfied with our choices and are already looking forward to another visit! Parking was right outside the front door. The restaurant was packed when we got there so I'm glad we had reservations! Be sure to check them out! You won't regret it! read more

My husband and I get food every week, either delivery or dining in the restaurant. It's THAT good! SERVICE The servers and host are always polite and professional. They are friendly, and they provide great recommendations. AMBIANCE The restaurant is casual, but not fast food casual. It's more like date night casual. They have a full bar in case you need some liquid courage while dining with your crush. FOOD The food is delicious every single time. We have ordered: * mixed vegetable curry * korma * mushroom matal * rose ice cream * chai tea * vindaloo * samosa * naan * garlic naan * roti They were all SO good! They came with rice, except the ice cream, naans, samosa, roti, But I recommend confirming with your server if your dish comes with rice. I love that they have a tiered 3 level spice level inquiry. And their mild is not spicy yet flavorful. :-) SPECIALS * happy hour everyday 3:30-6pm * lunch specials Monday to Wednesday 11am-12:30pm read more

Tap N Tikka - Rose dessert - Indian Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Where to begin? We came for a birthday celebration with some friends. When we arrived I asked about getting some desserts put on our bill for a surprise for the birthday person and was assured this could happen and they would be willing to make it happen. Our first time and now this will become a regular Indian restaurant for us! The smells when you walk in the door are a promise to what you will get on your plates! We started with the vegetarian Samosa, two come in the order. They were spicy and I only ate half but everyone else who are spicy eaters loved them! They came with a mint sauce and another sauce. We got two orders of their garlic naan...some of the best naan we've had. Thin and light and cooked perfectly with lots of garlic and herbs. So delicious! Also I had the butter chicken, based on all of the Yelp reviews raving about it. Ok, singing its praise as well! The chicken is cut into chunks and is so tender, swimming in some of the best butter sauce. I ordered "mild" which was perfect. And because we couldn't choose, we also got the Tandoori Chicken and we ate two pieces there and brought home the rest for the next day. Out of this world! Wife ordered the Paneer Saag, which was so good and rich. Large chunks of Paneer swimming in the saag sauce. Everything comes with jasmine rice and is served in small dishes for sharing. I tried a bit of the garlic chicken another person ordered but didn't taste anything else because they are spice people and everything they got was medium heat! Whimp I am!! Back to dessert; when it came time I asked our server about it and she brought me the menu so I could choose. No "special" birthday service which was fine, I wish they would have told me in the beginning, but ok...ordered the Gulab Jamun, which was honey balls, served warm in a light honey sauce (two in an order) and we also got the Rose Kulfi, which has pieces of rose in the dough. Strong rose flavor and they were ok...couldn't get over the pieces of rose in it. Overall, we loved this place and will come back for the savory foods. We noticed lots of Indian families coming in which tells us it's popular and serving authentic foods. Check it out!!! read more

I've left a five star Google review as well, suffice it to say, this place had been on my list of places to go try, and today I had a second day of celebration, a committed health win, and I decided not to plan a party but to celebrate by myself. I'm pretty sure that the photographs I've taken in the video say most everything about the food, but it's also the service and the attention to find detail that make this a very comfortable find. So whether you're with friends or family, or just want to have a beautiful lunch by yourself... If you enjoy spices and good food, this is a definite placed to try. I'm sure whoever waits on you will be excellent, but if you were extra lucky, you would have the same tall, young gentleman, helping you choose your dishes. read more

Popped in for lunch at Tap N Tikka, an authentic Indian restaurant in Gilbert. The atmosphere was very casual, and while the service felt a bit questionable when we first walked in, it quickly bounced back and became friendly and efficient. We tried the goat rogan josh and the chicken masala -- both were flavorful and well-spiced, though the chicken dish would have benefited from using dark meat. Overall, a solid local spot with good flavors and worth a return visit. Saluti read more

This place was recommended by many of my coworkers who live in the area. And it did not disappoint. I went for a work lunch and it wasn't very busy. Service was great. Food took a while but that is because they make it all fresh. I had the butter chicken at a medium spice level and it was soooooooo gooooood! Had a great flavor and the spice level was perfect for me. I also had the garlic naan which was also very good. Firm, not soggy and the perfect level of garlic. Side note, I appreciated that the music wasn't too loud and that it was Indian hip hop. It was an interesting change. I liked it. I am definitely coming back to try more dishes. read more

Wow! This place was great! I've been to a few Indian restaurants and this one has stood out the most and the first I know to have a great drink menu and draft beers! Our server was so kind and informative and knew everything about each dish. She recommended her favorites and was also able to talk about the meat dishes too, even though she said she was vegetarian. She literally designed our amazing meal, haha. There was a table behind us that had this huge plate of something that looked really good, and when we inquired, it was called the amritsari kulcha which is like a naan stuffed with potatoes. You would imagine a big lumpy dumpling or something, but Oh my gosh, it was so delicious! It was soft and thin and with all the accompaniments, it was so good! While everything we ordered was good, this was the one that stood out the most! If you're looking to explore new cultural flavors and enjoy great drinks, I would recommend to check this place out! There is so much to try! read more

We went here for the first time Friday night for our date night. As soon as we walked in we knew it was going to be incredible. They were packed and it smelt amazing. They were having a huge party of over 30 plus people which threw off the service but the manager more than made up for it by giving us our food on the house and let me tell you we weren't disappointed. I got tikki masala medium and I do wish it would have been more spicy as to me it wasn't spicy at all but the flavors were still on point.

As a Punjabi, I've been searching for truly authentic Indian food in Arizona -- and Tap n Tikka is hands-down the best I've found. Highly recommend starting with the Amritsari Kulcha and the Tandoori Platter. Both were packed with flavor and perfect for sharing. The Lamb Bhuna was another standout -- tender, rich, and cooked just right. For dessert, the Gulab Jamun with homemade ice cream was incredible. Honestly one of the best versions I've had. The place isn't fancy, but the food is legit and the vibe is comfortable. Great spot to bring the family and enjoy a really good meal. read more

Came in here around 12pm on a Sunday and the place was about half full. Nick our server was a pretty nice guy. Spicyness levels are on the mild side and probably targeted towards the local demographic. We got the 911 spice level for the butter chicken and the spicy for the Lamb Curry. If you are used to the more traditional spice levels, just go full send and get the 911 spice level. I'd say it's about a medium/mild in the realm of southern India spicy levels. The Lamb in the biriyani was a little on the dry side, but overall the seasoning/flavor was good. The chicken and lamb in the Rogan Josh were very tender. Curry flavor was on point. read more

Their new app itself is fine, but the restaurant behind it has clearly slipped. The biggest issue with the app is the "online platform fee," which is supposedly for things like 24/7 support. That doesn't add up when the fee changes from order to order, and the restaurant isn't even open anything close to 24/7. Prices have also gone up like crazy across the board. Instead of being transparent, they try to soften it with random discounts like 15% off or $5 coupons, but even with those, you're still paying more than before. What really doesn't land is the disconnect between pricing and experience. They're charging like this is a five-star dining spot, but the interior feels thrown together; like someone walked through a TJ Maxx decor aisle and grabbed whatever was on clearance. This used to be one of our go-to spots. Now it just feels overpriced without a clear reason. Save yourself the trouble and go to New India Gate in Chandler. read more

The food here is very flavorful and well executed. While I've only ever picked up dinner to go, the vibe inside seems fun and inviting and there's usually lots of other diners. Service is pretty good. Biggest complaint would be that the portion sizes on their chicken dishes are on the small side (like butter chicken and tikka masala). read more

I'm really sad to see the changes that have happened. We've been coming here since the place has opened and we drive nearly 40 minutes out of our way just to come here because of how good we thought it was. We loved the plates and the serving dishes because of the charm we thought they had. Now they use these more American looking serving dishes that are just a huge bummer and look stale. But the reason why we came was because of the flavor, the seasoning was delicious. Now it tastes watered down. Like there is less cumin and a few other spices? Perhaps. Our favorite dish was the gobi Manchurian, we used to come because of how good it used to be. Now even that has lost its flavor. Even the cauliflower that was used today looked sad and watered down. With the prices that have gone up dramatically, the food losing its flavor, and the charm gone from the serving dishes I'm sad to say we won't come back. We were okay paying even double if it was just the same as before. Now you could NOT even pay me to eat here. I want to add that I think their customer service is great, the staff is always friendly, so it has nothing to do with that. Just the changes someone chose to make. My family and I are really sad because we feel like we've lost our favorite restaurant and now we have to find a new place. I hope everyone else enjoys the changes because we do not. read more

CONSISTENT, CONSISTENT, CONSISTENT!!! Rock solid top of the line Indian cuisine! When I want a flavorful meal, there are only a few places that come to mind, and Tap N Tikka tops that list. First and foremost, the service is amazing. After a friendly greeting upon entering, our waiter never missed a beat. Refills were swift, different to-go boxes were selected for each item and promptly delivered to our table, great service! Ambience is great as well. Very comfortable with nice lighting and a bar stand! If all that sounded great, hold on to your rocker grandma, cause the food is to die for! We started with the samosa's. Crispy on the outside, warm and delicious on the inside. You get two sauces with these, the green one is my personal favorite. We followed that up with Chicken 65, Chicken Biryani, Chicken Tikka Masala, and garlic cheese Naan. Chicken 65: Crispy, spicy, stunning: Chicken 65 is similar to buffalo wings, but with a major, flavorful twist. Served with veggies as well! Chicken Biryani: A blend of flavorful, spiced rice and chicken, a perfect combo! Chicken Tikka Masala: (served with a white rice) My personal favorite when topping their white rice, the tikka masala is creamy and delicious. Garlic Cheese Naan: Fluffy, warm, cheesy, their naan bread is delightful. Also, when here, do yourself a favor and order a Taj Mahal Lager with your meal, REALLY pairs well! In conclusion, this restaurant is an easy 5/5 for me. Great food, great ambience, great staff, great service and a must stop for anyone in the Gilbert area. read more

I was craving Indian food and remembered seeing this place somewhere so we decided to give it a try. It's a unique restaurant that adds a nice bar atmosphere to Indian food. They have a wide selection of Indian beer, wine, and signature cocktails with Indian spices. I ordered a mango mint julip and loved it. The samosas were delicious, especially the green chutney. The chicken korma (medium spice) was also really good. Not too spicy but I could definitely taste the kick. I'm glad this is in my neighborhood and I'll definitely be back soon! read more

The best Indian food around! We live in Surprise and traveled to Gilbert for this spot and it was well worth it. The food is incredible, the service is outstanding, and the vibes are just right. It's a large, open restaurant with a cozy feel and you can literally feel the warmth from the space, the food, and the servers. We made a reservation and arrived a little early, but were seated promptly. We ordered a wide variety of food so we could try different things: chicken manchurian (my favorite appetizer at any Indian restaurant if available), samosas, chicken tikka masala, tandoori shrimp, and garlic naan and garlic cheese naan. Everything was absolutely fantastic! My husband also ordered an Indian old fashioned drink, which he loved.
