    Tikka house entry
    Denise F.

    I ordered the Butter chicken., Service was ok. Faster than expected. Butter chicken was extremely salty. Plus I am used to a slightly creamy sauce. The cucumber salad was soupy. Prices were decent but unable to eat more than a few bites because of the excessive saltiness. I usually just get the Gyro wrap combo. If I ever come back I will stick to that.

    The service is really nice. Theres 2 lines, one for food one for spices! I order the mango tea and had to request another cup because was covered in a mysterious black ring? The eggplant curry was decent. The samosa was huge but bland and tad pricy.

    Chicken Tikka Wrap

    If you're anything like me, you get overwhelmed at the sight of the massive crowds in line to get spices on the weekends, but you really must find a time to get food here. The real stars are the pita pockets that are beautifully piled inside the bakery case/counter. At only $3 each, they make the perfect warm snack to fuel your farmer's market wanderings.i highly recommend the feta and spinach. They even have a vegan option! The food is reasonably priced for the amount you get. It's not my favorite Indian/Mediterranean food in KC, but it's a tasty, cheap, quick option for a day spent in the City Market! I usually get a chicken tikka wrap, and it comes with rice and veggie salad. Everything can be ordered mild, medium, or spicy. You place your order at the counter, and they call out a number when the food is ready. This gets a bit chaotic during peak hours. I recommend ordering a pita pocket (heated up, of course) to munch on while you wait for your order. If you are interested in the spices -- they have little clipboards with papers for you to write down what spices you want and how many scoops. The employees take your list and scoop the spices into bags. They have clean, empty spice bottles that you can pay for as well ($2 I think?) Once you get your order, you pay at the counter. The spices are reasonably priced (comparable to other bulk spice stores in river market), and they have just about anything you could imagine. You have to settle with river market lots or street parking. Super convenient for a lunch during a farmer's market day, but not convenient to pull over for quick take out (especially without online orders).

    Chicken Tikka

    The array of spices caught my eye entering Tikka House. The lady that took our order was very friendly and our food came out pretty fast despite the line. We ordered the Chicken Tikka lunch plate for $7.99. I felt that the chicken tikka itself was a little dry and lacking flavor. The aroma and flavors of the spices were almost too subtle. That said, the portion size of the dish was good. It came with a side salad and tzatziki sauce, which provided an element of freshness. I am hoping to try their other options next time, including their pies and wraps.

    Chicken Shawarma Wrap

    I was super excited to try this place as there is usually a decent line. We waited just over 30 minutes to be let down. There's a few tables outside of the building that you can sit at. There is two lines, one for spices and one for food. My rice was super mushy and lacked a lot of flavor. The chicken in my wrap was very dry and underwhelming. Not the mention it was missing tomato and onion as it states it has. I swapped the tahini for the tazitki sauce. There wasn't a lot of it and it was super runny and thin. My boyfriend got the butter chicken (forgot to get a picture). Unfortunately that was extremely dry as well and didn't have a butter chicken flavor at all. His rice however was much better. The concept of the spices being out is really cool but the ceilings have dust absolutely everywhere and the fans are going with these being open containers

    Spinach & Feta Pita Pocket Chicken Samosa
    Jonelle W.

    Food was delicious. Lentil soup was a little too tart for me but I love the meals. The samosa and feta and spinach pita pockets was delicious it came with a chili sauce and dip alongside fried pita chips - addictive. Service was great and friendly. I loved that they offer a variety of spices to buy.

    Easily one of the most affordable and delicious options at City Market! While other food stalls were charging $12+ for lunch options, Tikka House has entire meals for $7-$8 max. That's an incredible deal! Don't be scared away by the long line to purchase spices - and get yours here, while you're at it! They have every spice and mix under the sun, and from what I could tell by the line, they're popular. Skip this line and head to the front register to place your meal order. The team here is lovely and will take your order - just know there's a $10 minimum for cards. I ordered butter chicken and a veggie samosa, and it was incredible! The butter chicken served on rice was deliciously spiced, and it came with two different salads. I got a samosa and it was MASSIVE - so delicious with a yogurt sauce and chili oil on the side plus some pita chips. Delicious, filling, hearty and budget-friendly choice at City Market!

    This place has been the ONLY store I will buy seasonings and spices from for the past two years solid. The prices of spices have been rising rapidly for awhile now and it just doesn't make sense to get a small overpriced portion from chain grocery stores, when you can get it fresh and in bulk from this locally owned GEM! Whenever I have guests over to share a dish I've prepared they are always raving over the flavor! I let them in on my secret weapon -the creations made by the people at Tikka House who prepare new seasonings every so often. The service always speaks for itself whether it's extremely busy and the line is around the corner in the summer or it's not as busy on a cold January day. Every question will be answered and every reasonable request will be fulfilled. The food is made with love from what seems to be the grandmother of the generations, to the next generation taking orders, then the generation after that filling bags full of seasonings! I always joke about how I would love to work here on the weekends because this place is a like a live bar on a Saturday night, for people who really want to take their dishes to the next level. Maybe one day I actually will or have a place like this of my own because it is definitely top 3 one of my favorite things to do in KC and it isn't number three.

    Being one of the many small businesses in the city market, I really wanted to love it, but was pretty disappointed with my experience. The shop itself is really cute, and they have a selection of spices you can sample for purchase. The menu is a mix of halal and Indian food. I ordered the lentil soup (which was a split pea dahl) and the vegan potato pita sandwich. My pita was really good and filling, but the lentil soup was luke warm. I sat down to eat in the courtyard as soon as they gave it to me, so there was no reason for it not to be hot. Tip: $10 minimum for credit and debit purchases.

    Super cool concept inside with lots of spices to choose from. Very friendly staff. Chicken tikka wrap wasn't the most flavorful but the rice was perfectly fluffy & my salad was very fresh. I was too hungry to catch a photo. Mango drink tasted very watered down; wasn't overly sweetened which I'd typically enjoy if it had more flavor. Very affordable lunch spot!

    Veggie Samosa
    Teresa H.

    I've been buying spices from this family for years! Everyone of the people that work in this family owned business are so kind. Today was the first time I tried their food and I can't believe I have denied myselfnfornao long! We ordered a chicken wrap, vegetable wrap, beef samosa and veggies samosa. They were so filling! Please, if you have thought about trying them and have not, make sure to do so!

    Lunch chicken tikka.

    Lunch chicken tikka- omg it's so good! Got medium heat and it's plenty enough to get my taste buds attention. Glad I picked this place for lunch while passing through KC
