Unfortunately, I was not impressed. The Chicken Tikka Masala was extremely bland and lacked flavor. The portions were also quite small, and the chicken was cut into very tiny pieces. Overall, the meal did not meet my expectations, and it's not a place I would choose to visit again. There are definitely better options available. read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner, and was blown away by the selection and simplicity of their menu. I opted for the chicken bowl which came on a bed of greens with red cabbage, rice and chickpeas, the chicken thigh portion was just right but get naan if you're extra hungry. Overall the service was quick, friendly and the ambiance is cutely themed and has tables for parties of 2 to 8. Cant wait to visit again. read more

Twisted Indian - Chicken Tikka Bowl & Naan - Indian Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

The staff is so friendly and the food is delicious. We came for an early ish lunch and ordered a paneer tikka masala bowl, chicken tikka masala currito, and the yogi fries. My paneer bowl was very flavorful and filling. The yogi fries were good, but I wouldn't necessarily order them again. I need to try their mango lassi next time! read more

Twisted Indian - Paneer Tikka Masala Bowl - Indian Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

I've tried this place a few times and I've never been disappointed. I even got a request from my thirteen year old niece to take her here and she eats chicken nuggets, steak and cheese pizza - of course I have to eat her vegetables. They have a fairly simple menu but give you several ways to have your food (e.g. bowl, tacos, sandwich style, etc.) Pros: * Simple menu - all the popular choices * Quick and friendly service * Great selection of beverages * Great atmosphere I only visit St. Pete a couple of time a year but this is one of my go-to places. read more

On a hot day at a festival looking for a relaxing reprieve, the Twisted Indian came in clutch. Before I even get to food I have to mention how nice the staff were to fill up our water and make sure my family was taken care of- A++ for service. Their menu will make you choose between a larger bowl or handhelds like the Naan 'wich- basically an Indian "gyro" but with Naan. We had to try the chicken tikka Naan 'wich and the bowl. I was happy with the quality of the curry from such a small kitchen. The chickpea side dish was delicious and there was even a refreshing salad in my bowl to tie everything together. Having said that, only slight critiques would be heavy use of dark meat (fine for me, but my wife not so much) and there needs to be garlic naan for the sandwich. Also, a small piece of complimentary Naan in the bowl would go a long way in my opinion. For a very fair price at around $12, you will be full! Now, surprisingly, my favorite food here were the twisted fries! Perfectly crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. These alone are worth going in for! read more

I came here with my vegan friend when she was in town. It smelled amazing and the staff were so friendly and didn't rush us to order. After looking at the menu, we ordered up front and waited for our food. Very cute inside, but it's good to note that the parking is a hassle, especially at busy lunch hours, but that is to be expected for DTSP. Ok so the food was good. The flavor was there and the portion was perfect (for me). I would say it is more modern/Americanized Indian food though (perhaps that's the Twisted in Twisted Indian?). I probably wouldn't come here if I wanted authentic true Indian cuisine, but I think it is a very good option for that part of town where there isn't a lot of Indian restaurants. Also I'm not vegan or vegetarian and prefer meat so again, it wouldn't be my first choice for this cuisine. All of that aside, I did have a good experience and the food was good! read more

As you step into the restaurant, the aroma of the Indian cuisine hits you and wow, was I excited! Sadly though, i wasn't impressed. 3 words: Americanized Indian food! Place looked great, loved the ornate decor and staff were very sweet and courteous. I tried the naanwich. While the potions were hefty, I couldn't decipher what i was eating. The spices were lost, couldn't even taste the ginger/garlic paste which is a staple in many Indian dishes. Overall, i had higher hopes. The fries were good but i wasn't thrilled with the main entree. read more

Twisted Indian - Naanwich - Indian Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

We've tried the truck years ago and were excited to finally try their brick and mortar. We were bummed to see they didn't have lamb Korma at all on their menu. We ended up getting their chicken Tikka naanwich and chicken Tikka Taco. Both had great flavor and accompaniments that complemented the chicken. I did get a bite of inedible meat that turned me off. Besides that, nice interior with a cool vibe. read more

I heard great things about Twisted Indian when they were just a local food truck--glad to see them scale up to a brick and mortar for my first visit. The interior was warm and inviting. I love the long dining table in the middle seating area, great for friends or even strangers to sit eat alongside one another. The Naanwhich is an amazing portion size for its price ($12-13) and the Bollywood Bowls looked more filling than any of the ordinary fast-casual slop bowl establishments. Staff are super helpful to new customers, you can tell some people are regulars who remote work from inside, but be sure to clean up your seating area and return the bowls/trays to the bus station. BONUS: they even sell their own sauce jars and premium Indian Beer: Rupee Basmati Rice Lager & Rupee India Pale Ale. read more

Staff was so friendly and helpful when assisting me with choosing what to order. I got the tacos with the Seitan Korma and Panner Tikka Masala. The panner taco was my favorite so so so yum. I'm usually not a chick pea fan but the tacos come with a delicious chickpea and rice side. I also got the mango Lassi which had a hint of ginger which I loved read more

After nearly 10 years away from St. Pete, I was thrilled to discover that what was once a food truck is now a charming brick-and-mortar restaurant. We were hungry and searching for something nearby when Twisted Indian popped up--and we got excited right away! This small, beautiful spot is located right on Central Ave. You order at the counter, where we were warmly greeted by a super friendly attendant, and grab your cold drinks from the fridge. They offer an impressive selection of craft beers--I went with a basmati rice lager that paired perfectly with the bold, vibrant flavors of the food. I had the chicken naanwich (absolutely delicious!), and my son ordered the chicken tikka masala, which was bursting with flavor. He's a real foodie, and he loved every bite. Twisted Indian, thank you for the amazing food and welcoming atmosphere--keep up the great work! read more

Came back because I looked at my previous review when I was in town and was craving the same bowl - seems since my last review (and looking at the previous photos) portions have gotten smaller, chicken quality downgraded as well and seemed a little more rubbery this time. A shame because I thought it was excellent a year ago per my last review. It's still pretty okay, but definitely didn't blow me away like it did last time. The tikka sauce tasted super tomato-y, almost like tomato soup. We got our orders to go and the food was lukewarm. I was hyping this place up to my folks for our first dinner in town, but I'd hesitate to return unfortunately. read more

I really wanted to love this place, as I have heard great things, but it unfortunately fell short of my expectations. To start, they have a sign up front asking for no deconstructions and to limit modifications. I try to limit dairy, so this would be difficult for me as they only had 2 vegan options but I do eat meat. I asked for the lamb Bollywood bowl without yogurt, and they said yes which I really appreciated. Asking your customers to limit modifications just seems silly to me considering the price we are paying for items. We sat down and I was given the wrong food item. I was given a lamb platter instead of the bowl. They did end up bringing me a side of rice and chickpeas as the platter doesn't come with that, but what I ordered does. My partner ordered the chicken tiki masala fries and loved his order!! If we come back, I will have to try those. Overall, I wish there were more options maybe to modify (or more plant based/vegan options), and bigger water cups (too small considering how spicy the food is). read more

Came here for book club. Limited seating but we made it work. I ordered the Yogi Fries with Paneer Tikka Masala. It is sidewinder chat fries, tikka masala sauce, mozzarella cheese, a tangy slaw, a raita yogurt sauce, and cilantro. Very delicious but a little spicy for me personally. read more

Twisted Indian - Yogi Fries with Paneer Tikka Masala - Indian Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

If you somehow manage to enter this restaurant and exit without purchasing SOMETHING, you have the strength of 1,000 soldiers. Just the aromatics and spices in the air get my mouth watering. My go to is the lamb keema Bollywood Bowl with a Mango Lassi. I've never been disappointed. The presentation (even in to go containers) is beautiful. The food? Delicious, filling and flavorful. The portions? Generous. I usually have some to eat later and it still tastes delicious cold after being refrigerated. Twisted Indian is a real gem. If you're not into spicy food this may be a challenge for you. Nothing I've had is offensively spicy but if you're spice averse, try sampling a friend's dish to see how you like it. The singular change that would improve my meal would be to bring back the chopped lamb instead of ground lamb. Otherwise 15/10. Truly. read more

Keep meaning to try some of the other items on the menu, but I always wind up ordering the chicken tikka masala naanwich! That's how good it is. Great flavors all around and just the right level of heat. The first time I ordered from here was for takeaway but I recently dined in and it's a nice little shop - busy in the evenings and relatively light on seating but they keep the line moving and your food comes out fast! read more

These are THE KINDEST HUMANS on the PLANET. I keep coming back again and again. Their food keeps getting better. And they always, ALWAYS take care of you sp if you're a regular. No matter how busy, they're a well-oiled machine. TIPPP: buy their coconut pineapple kombucha. Very sweet, but so refreshing for summer and so much better for you than soda or else!

This is a nice spot to grab some quick Indian food if you're feeling it in the downtown area. The tikki masala was a little sweeter than I've had at other places, and the portioning could have a been a bit better for the price. Naan also was not included with the bowl which is a must for tikki masala. It was not the best but I didn't hate it, not sure if I would come back. read more

Indian? What? It's made for American palates. Way too sweet in terms of what Indian tiki Masala should taste like. It was indeed fresh but to sell it as Indian food, definitely not for us. Unfortunately cafe masala closed down which was by far the best Indian food so we reduced this place. Other than the amazing mango lassi , we will not be going back. read more

Twisted Indian is a cozy dim lit eatery that is perfect for a quick bite. I ordered the chicken tikka bowl and every ingredient in the bowl seemed well thought out. Chicken was tender, cabbage was fresh, and the basmati rice was the perfect texture. Perfect amount of spice if you're looking for flavor without sweating all over your food. 10/10 would come back.

In the past, I remember this restaurant as a food truck and happy that I finally got to try it as a store. The meal that I purchased was tasty however with the cost of being almost $17 I expected there to be a lot more food. The Ground lamb had great texture and taste however, most of the other ingredients other than the naan bread were pretty mild as it was mostly just raw ingredients. If you do come to this restaurant, I'm sure the other food choices will be delicious. However, I would not recommend the Keem Bowl. Great service otherwise. read more

One of favs! Been here dozens of times. Food is well made, authentic Indian and consistent. Absolutely delicious every time.

The flavors were incredible. So tasty. I love that they have vegetarian options for those of us who live the taste of Indian cuisine but don't eat meat. I got the paneer Tikka masala naanwhich and it was perfectly filling without being over the top. The only downside is parking can be so tough. Even to run in and pick up take out, I had to park three blocks away. But definitely worth it! Added bonus is that they use biodegradable bags and silverware. Can't wait to come back! read more

Decent. Not much depth in flavor & options were very limited compared to other Indian spots. Prices were pretty reasonable. The server gave my food to someone else and I had to walk up to them and ask for it before they started eating lol. Food was fine but nothing really blew my mind read more

tl:dr The food tastes fresh but most of my dish lacked any (read: zero) seasoning. Protein was seasoned but underwhelming I have been hearing about how loved Twisted Indian is by neighbors and friends and finally decided to try it. I ordered a dish that does not have dairy, only modification was no yogurt drizzle on top. The spices and heat in my dish were lacking. I love Indian food but this did not hit the spot. Rice was unseasoned. Red cabbage was unseasoned and on the more raw side. Huge bed of plain spinach lining the dish. The protein had good flavor, but not enough to compensate for the unseasoned majority of the dish. read more
