Stopped by after shopping across the street on a Friday afternoon around 3pm, and it couldn't have been more convenient, parking was easy and stress-free. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but it's thoughtfully decorated with a fun, welcoming vibe and everything was very clean. We were greeted right away and seated within about five minutes. It seemed like there was just one server working, but he was incredibly attentive and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. The food was absolutely delicious. The mango lassi is hands down my favorite I've had. perfectly sweet and refreshing. The samosa chaat was also amazing, full of flavor and beautifully put together. Every bite felt fresh and satisfying. This is definitely my new go-to spot when I'm in the area. read more

Highly recommended!!! Great service and ambiance! The chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and limca were delicious! I ordered this through door dash and the food was still good on delivery! read more

First time here, and I can say it definitely hit the spot! Our group feels like we went over to a friend's house and had some really comforting food freshly made with love. We ordered tikka masala, biryani, a sampler plate, garlic naan and spicy naan. We ordered desserts were the top two items listed (I forgot what it was called) Paul took our orders and was very kind and gracious. Would definitely come again! Thank you! read more

Ticca Tikka Indian Cuisine - Spicy naan - Indian Near Me - Murrieta, California

Saturday, 3-07-2026: I met up with two of my dear Yelp friends. I've been wanting to try this Indian restaurant for a while and jumped at the invite by our unofficial local Temecula CM. Upon entry you notice immediately that this eatery is designed elegantly with nice architectural elements especially when you look at the ceiling and stylish but simple light fixtures. It made for a very charming ambiance. We enjoyed our meals, which were served family style. I ordered the Chicken Korma and Roti. Servings were generous so we were able to take the remainders home. Every dish was so delicious and our service was superb; we had 2 servers who paid close attention to us. And I enjoyed my lovely company, too, which added to a perfect dining experience. I will definitely return here. read more

My husband and I had dinner here last night for the first time. The decor is appealing and stylish. There were only a couple of other people at the restaurant. It took several minutes for the server to come to our table. When the people next to us left, the mess they left at the table wasn't cleared for about 20 minutes. When someone finally picked up the dishes, they didn't wipe down the table, leaving it dirty. We later noticed this happened when another party left. I ordered an Indian lime soda, which was okay, and for my entree I went with the Chicken Tikka Tandoori. We also ordered a garlic naan to share. My husband ordered a chicken curry. My chicken tikka tandoori was good, the chicken was moist, and it was flavorful. I couldn't finish it because there was so much food. It is enough for 2 people, in my opinion. The naan was also good. My husband liked his curry, but wasn't wowed by it. At one point, we asked the server for water because he never came to check on our table, but he came and went several times until he finally brought out a glass of water. When we got our bill, we noticed we were incorrectly charged twice for rice, but it was quickly fixed. I wish we had a better experience, but it wasn't great. The food was good, but the service was not, so we wouldn't come back. We will stick to our favorite Indian restaurant in Temecula. read more

The server was polite and accommodating. The food was delicious! I'm the one who loves Indian food and the fact that my daughter said "good choice" after eating was a plus ~ meaning we will be back! And my husband liked his food too and he's not one to venture out~ lol. read more

Ticca Tikka Indian Cuisine - chicken tika masala chicken biryani coconut chicken - Indian Near Me - Murrieta, California

Food was a solid 5 stars for me. Layers of flavor in each dish. Definitely a fan of the garlic naan. It was thin with a crispy bottom and perfect for dipping into the sauces. The butter chicken was a hit with everyone at the table. It was buttery and delightful. They know how to cook chicken here. The chicken in each dish was tender and easily fell apart with a fork. Chicken biryani with a little heat is a must try especially with the yogurt dressing that comes with it. The gobi Manchurian was nice cauliflower fusion appetizer. Chicken saag gave us another way to enjoy chicken with its rich spinach sauce, and it went well with the garlic naan. The lychee drink was refreshing, and the rose drink comes in the cutest little glass. I'm planning on returning many more times to try the rest of their dishes. read more

A five-star experience with amazing food, exceptional service and portions were generous.

I LOvED LOvEd this place!! It's so cute and decorated so nicely. Unfortunately the service is ok. People are nice but the food takes forever which I assume because it's freshly made but also the customer service is so slow. We got our appetizer before our drinks. Then we had to ask for refills. Honestly the 5 stars is only because the food is that good! read more

Me and my boyfriend love going here to eat frequently. The butter chicken, butter chicken pasta, and chicken tikka masala are all amazing!! You can tell from the taste everything is very authentic and made fresh. Our waiter was also very fast and attentive, he made sure we were well taken care of. If you love Indian cuisine then you definitely give Ticca Tikka a try! read more

Love this place! The food was delicious, the service was excellent and I really enjoyed the ambiance. The only thing I would say to the owners to help elevate this place (and I really need to start adding these two things to a lot of my reviews because it's a pet peeve): 1. Get a water filter (I thought the water tasted yucky) 2. Clean the tables with something else. It's unpleasant to smell the typical chemical cleaner sprays at the place you are eating Anyway, we will be back! This is our new go-to Indian joint read more

I love the interior decorations. There is a mirrored mosaic hand chair. Think: disco ball but in a hand shape. It's a fun conversation piece. We had a good experience here and would recommend it to others. We ordered the chai tea, butter chicken and chicken tika masala. Both were good. Maybe a little on the sweet side for me. We also ordered a few orders of buttered and garlic naan, both were very good. The all star here is the naan. It's a make or break for me with a restaurant. And their naan is worth coming back for. I did like their curries but prefer them to be strictly savory, which isn't as easy to find as l would like. But that is a personal preference. We can see why they have a high rating. The only reason for the one star off for me is just that, l don't love sweet curries. And theirs isn't overly sweet. It's just any sweetness in it is too sweet for me. Service was attentive and kind. We came at a slow time of day but their service and speed of food to table was great. Which we appreciated. read more

Amazing flavors! Even the kids love the tikka masala since it's actually not spicy at all. It's hard to find Indian food that kids will eat because usually when you ask for non spicy it's still too spicy for them.But this tikka masala is actually kid friendly! Mango lassi is also delicious. Nice atmosphere. Definitely our favorite Indian food in the Temecula valley! read more

Been trying different places around the general area and I figured I wanted a great Indian restaurant came here ordered quite a few things came out to about $120. Very disappointed. There was nothing authentic for me in flavor. The noun was burnt cold. I would not recommend normal. Will I go back to give it a second time and I usually do but it just was not good. I hope they see this and make their food a little more genuine read more

Ticca Tikka Indian Cuisine was a place I wanted to visit after hearing positive reviews and they did not disappoint in providing authentic Indian flavors to Temecula. Chicken Tikka Masala (4/5): an excellent staple, hit of sweet creamy curry with veggies. The Tandoori chicken (2.5/5): the meat portions were small and bloody on the inside near the bone. It was a very aesthetic dish but not for me! Lamb vindaloo (5/5): my favorite dish, done well. Savory, tangy, spicy curry with lamb morsels. Mango lassi (5/5): right level of mango flavor and yogurt thickness, a tropical kefir drink! Overall, I loved the curries very much. I hope to come back to try more of their dishes and also their desserts! read more

Our food was fabulous. We ordered the right amount and ate every single little bit. We practically licked our plates clean. The spices and quality of the food is over the top as well as the surface atmosphere. Highly Recommended! read more

Our meal here last night was just simply incredible. My wife and I were really in the mood for something different instead of the normal takeout on a busy night for us. Ticca Tikka being semi-new in the area, we knew we wanted to give it a shot... Everything our family ordered was great, but the Chicken Tikka Tandoori and the Butter Chicken absolutely knocked our socks off. We got takeout so we didn't eat in the restaurant (this time), but the staff here was great and definitely look forward to coming here with the family and dining in soon. Hats off to the chef here. 10/10 I recommend you come eat at Ticca Tikka. read more

I was excited to try this place, as I had never been before and have always been a fan of South Asian cuisine. My mom, sister, and I arrived and were sat around 6:30pm on a Sunday. It was pretty packed. I had read some reviews and everyone was raving about the food. Prices are also decent. We thoroughly enjoyed their food. My mom and I shared a butter chicken and my sister got a medium spicy chicken vindaloo. We got garlic naan on the side that was superb. However, we thought the poor service overshadowed the food. We were served by a younger man, who seemed dismissive our entire meal unfortunately. There was also a younger woman that was around. They seemed to be the two front-facing people of the establishment. I want to preface by saying I've worked in food service for 5 years and customer service in general for longer. I understand some of what goes for servers/staff, but also am heavily influenced by the quality of service. The place was pretty full, but most people had gotten their orders in before ours was placed. It took the gentleman 20-30 minutes to ask what our order was and then it wasn't until 7:10pm that we got our meal... and our waters at the same time. When we got our utensils and plates, I noticed mine had not been washed properly and had food stains both on the inside and outside of the plate. My sister received a fork that had dried food on the tines. There was one point where there were no staff in the dining area. We had no one come and check in on us. We had been needing water refills and wanted an extra basket of garlic naan but nobody was around to serve us. When we finally asked for water, our server handed us a room temp jug of water :/ I would've loved to give this place a higher rating, as their was truly very good, but their service was so disappointing that a 2/5 is all I can give. TLDR; food was great, service was terrible. Get your meal to-go maybe. read more

It Absolutely phenomenal flavors! The Samosa was rich and creamy without being overly sweet, and the Chili Garlic Naan was perfectly charred and pillowy. You can tell the spices are fresh and toasted in-house. It's easily the most authentic Indian spot I've tried in a long time. High-quality ingredients and even better service. Michelin Stars First timer and going to return to this place. The lighting and music was very chill you can easily have a party or a small meeting here. Friendly Staff. Vegetarian options Paleek paneers good. Many options. read more

My family and I have been wanting to try this place for a while and we finally got the chance to today. I must say, it was so yummy! Their Chicken Korma was one of the best I've had yet. The raisins in it really make it pop. We started off with some samosas which were really good but a little spicy. My husband ordered the chicken tiki masala and loved it too! Our daughter ordered the butter chicken and she really liked it too! They both ordered a mango lassi and I ordered one of their lychee drinks. They were all so yummy. We will definitely be back to try some of the other dishes on the menu. read more

Best Indian Cuisine I've ever had. Excellent service. Good Price. I recommend this place to everyone.

I was impressed all around from the service to the food. For a Friday night after 9 dinner this place got busy after we sat down. The staff was very courteous and explained all the dishes and drinks. They even went so far as to bring us a small sample of the pickles appetizer we mentioned we tried it before. We ordered it and it was good still very salty so be warned folks! Overall a 10+ or 5* + plus experience read more

Food was great. The naan was light and fresh. Wife and I had the Butter Chicken and the Achari chicken. Both were great but we both preferred the Achari (recommended by our waiter). If you haven't been here it's worth a try. read more

My team and I ordered take out for the office and were heavily satisfied. When I walked inside to pick up the food, I was amazed at how beautiful the place looked. It was slow at the time with one customer being served with handcrafted bowls and plates. I would definitely love to dine in to get the full experience. The only thing my team and I didn't like about picking up is that some got the same entree which they had served in the same tub rather than separating it as its own meal. Ex. we all had rice come with our order but the 4 servings of rice came in one tray. This would be fine in a family setting but maybe not at the work place lol Other than that, the paneer saag, butter chicken, chicken vindaloo, and cheesy naan was the highlight of our day and we throughly enjoyed it! read more

Wow! So glad we decided to try this new place! I love supporting new businesses... GARLIC NAAN: 10/10 superb! CHICKEN KORMA: Delicious! BUTTER CHICKEN PASTA: Was there star of the show! We came for Linner and it did not disappoint! We will be back! Rock on Ticca Tikka Indian Cuisine!! read more

Had to give this new restaurant a try since I saw a lot of reviews on Facebook. We came on a Saturday evening around 7:00pm and noticed it was nice and busy but were able to get a seat. There's plenty of parking. Was greeted and sat down immediately. The restaurant is very clean and decor is nice. The food was a 10/10 We ordered the Simosas, Butter Chicken, Lamb Tikka Masala and garlic naan. Rice comes with each entree which is a plus. They also serve you water in a carafe (No Ice, we had to ask for it). Prices were reasonable. I'd say the only con was it was pretty smoky and my eyes were burning a bit from the smoke from the kitchen. Our table was right by the kitchen. Other than that we will be back. read more

AMAZING!! New Indian Restaurant in the neighborhood and I am so glad we stopped by for dinner because all the items we ordered were delicious!! Aloo Gobi was fantastic! Lightly crisped cauliflower that had perfect texture unlike most places where it is served mushy. The garlic naan was awesome! Perfect garlic taste that also offered buttery and flaky in every bite. Chicken Korma was excellent! Smooth buttery taste with such authentic flavor of unique Indian spices. Mango Lassi hit the spot, for me because it was not too sweet and not too bitter. Most places I've been to served mango lassi that is too sweet for my taste. The staff welcomed everyone walking in the door, short conversations to get to know their patrons in between table service, and were very helpful with menu items and ingredients served in their dishes. The restaurant is very spacious with many tables throughout the dining area. The aura surrounding the dining area is bright and airy. Elegant and cozy! We definitely plan to visit again to try other menu items. If you get hungry in and around Murrieta, Indian food here will not disappoint!! read more

New restaurant, just opened 2 weeks ago. Went at 5 pm several people were there inside. It was nice to served in real dishes and gold color silverware. We ordered several dishes, Rogan Josh, butter, chicken, fish, tikka masala, onion, potato kulcha , spicy garlic naan My favorite for the night was probably the onion potato kulcha and the fish tikka masala. A friend of mine also ordered the chicken tikka masala taco, which looked good.. My only concern is that a lot of the items were being ordered on other tables and the restaurant was getting full of a smoky flavor atmosphere they're ventilation system should be looked at, but once the dishes were finished being made the air did clear up. We did order spicy, which didn't really have the spice level we wanted so may order it next time a little spicier. There is a lot of food coloring in the dishes. The fish was very tender. The sauce was very thick and creamy. I would go back to try a few other dishes, there's some things I liked at this Indian restaurant and there's some things I like at the other Indian restaurant so may have to alternate read more

The four of us enjoyed a great meal last night having a variety of dishes. The menu is many pages with some of the more unique dishes not often found in most indian restaurants. I had the Lamb Vindaloo with medium heat and it was fantastic while my wife had the Tandori chicken which she also enjoyed. It is a family restaurant and you can taste their love for cooking in their dishes. I highly recommend that you give this new restaurant (in Oceanside) a chance and you won't be disappointed. read more

Ordered the Butter Chicken Pasta. There were literally 4-5 small chunks of chicken (I'm talking smaller than Chik-Fil-A chicken nuggets size) mixed in with overly cooked, very mushy noodles, all for 15.00. First time trying the restaurant, won't be back. read more
