I have to say I absolutely love that they have tablets as their menus. It soo much easier to make a decision of what you want to eat since every dish has a picture which helps out a lot especially for me who's very indecisive with ordering food! To start off we got the Aloo Gobi Samosa which was good. As for the main dish I got the Chicken Saag Tikka which was very good but had very little chicken inside of it which was really disappointing. It seems like I was just eating a dish filled with sauce and few pieces of chicken inside it. We got one order of garlic and rosemary naan which was already cut up in quarter pieces. The naan came in very useful especially with all that extra sauce I had left from my chicken saag tikka dish. To finish off the night I got the Malai Kulfi ice cream for desert which was super frozen took some struggle to break off the pieces without making a mess. Overall this place is a nice quiet spot for dinner not to mention the TV above the door had plenty of Indian music videos on the whole time we were there. Also the service was good no complaints here. read more

I'm thrilled to say Tikka did not disappoint because I'm always on the fence when it comes to trying new places. The chicken chop with lemon rice was very good! I love potato dishes so I had to try the "Aloo Dom" (Potatoes stuffed with cheese and chaat) with a hint of curry..delicious! Chicken tikka was ok and portions could've been a little bigger for $10, they were bite sized pieces. However, i'm a fan and will definitely be trying more menu items!! read more

The business has closed down ...when they were operating we order at least 2 twice a week as they were quite good.

I order take out from here a lot. I really like the chicken or paneer Tikka masala and saag paneer. However, sometimes the tastes are not always the same, may need more salt or something, but still good. The garlic Naan and samosas are really good too and my favorites The place is cute and they have outdoor seating, plus it's BYOB. The servers there are pretty friendly from what I've experienced. They down one star only because they are a bit expensive in my opinion for the portions they give for the entrees. read more

This is one of our usual Indian take out spots. Hubby loves their biryani rice and I love their chicken tikka Marsala with garlic naan bread. They use a lot of spices and the food is usually very well prepared. read more

Tikka Indian Grill - Indian take out night - Indian Near Me - Kew Gardens, New York

I ordered delivery and it could be the chef changed but the food was definitely not up to par. The daal was watery (used to be thick and delicious) and the curry sauce was broken and oily. This was such a shame since their curry sauce was so delicious and dippable with the naan. Now I don't want to dip into a puddle of oil. Even the naan was weird and lumpy, but still soft and chewy. The only things that tasted the same (good) was the samosa and the green sauce. I hope this was a fluke and the next time I order, the food will be back to being amazing. If not, I will be looking for another go-to Indian restaurant. read more

Delicious food, they never miss. It's made fast hot fresh, and ready for delivery / pickup quickly. Couldn't recommend them enough best Indian food in queens. Ambiance inside (and out) is great and accommodating & you can BYOB here! read more

I love this place for the vegetarian and vegan options! I'm a pescatarian now, but sometimes I miss the flavors of the meat dishes I used to eat. The impossible curry options are perfect whenever I get a craving. The dishes are so yum (especially with the rice and little fix ins). I like to get some naan to finish off the curry. Nothing gets wasted cause it's so good! The portion for these are huge so it can easily feed 2 or make 2 meals. The staff at this location are very attentive, kind and warm. If the prices weren't so steep I'd eat here more often, but I do come here at least once a month for a little splurge/treat :) read more

Ordered to go because I hadn't eaten and I was not impressed. I ordered the stuffed naan and it was more of a sprinkle than a stuffing. The flavor was good for both the naan and chicken but that's about it. I'm hoping the next time I go I would be more impressed. SB: they have a bunch of vegan options which is good read more

An over priced marked up menu with no parking in the area . A $3.99 glass sparkling water is $8!!!!!!! When I did take my meal home Chicken Tikka Masala it was not what I expected. And my $5 Roti was hard and stiff. This just wasn't it for me not authentic indian food. On top of everything there is no parking in this area I am hardly likely to return. Stars for good service with attentive waiter. read more

I really love the service here and the authenticity feel of this place, as well as the the briyani it's so good. But 7$ for a mango lassi Or 20$ for two small chicken quarters with minimal chicken on it come on people . Prices went up I get it but charging an arm an a leg for a simple mango mix and milk. Be somewhat reasonable with the price hikes on some things. I probably won't come back. But the flavors are pretty good . read more

I was craving Indian food last night but wanted to stay home, so I decided to order from this place. Everything was amazing! I got butter chicken, daal, and roti, and every dish was delicious. The portions were really good! I even have leftovers for today. I was genuinely surprised by how good it was since I didn't have high expectations for takeout. The butter chicken even came with rice, which was a nice touch. I'm definitely going to order from here again! read more

Great neighborhood spot for authentic Indian dishes. We had samosas and vegetable pakora to start. We ordered chicken tikka masala, Lamb Kadai Mirchiwala and chicken chops. We also had the garlic naan and poori. Everything was fresh and delicious. Good sized portions with rice. The side condiments and sauces were delicious too. Service was friendly and efficient! read more

My fiancé and I frequent this place, and it holds quite a few milestones in our relationship. Tikka is a low key smaller sized Indian restaurant, and it's perfect for an intimate meal with loved ones. I truly love their chicken biryani, and it's become my go to order whenever we go. We love this place so much that my fiancé decided to propose here! There was a lot of confusion when he was planning, and he was told that he couldn't do a proposal there by someone who worked at the restaurant. He got in touch with the owner who profusely apologized and said that they'd love for us to have a special moment there. We ate and dined like no tomorrow, and I made sure to get my biryani to go. For the proposal, the staff were hopeless romantics. They picked the perfect song and worked with my fiancé, my sister, and my sisters boyfriend so we could get our special moment captured. Thank you all for your help and coordination! We appreciate you & we'll be back soon PS - parking is tough, so wear comfortable shoes when going, and on those hot summer days, they have outdoor dining, so take advantage of it! read more

The three stars is because there's simply zero hospitality. I came in and wasn't greeted by anyone or asked if I wanted to place an order. I asked a waitress if I could order food to go and she nodded. I walked to the register and I just felt a weird vibe as if I wasn't wanted. I told the host I never had Indian food before and he gave me a blank stare. I reluctantly ordered because I drove all the way there and was starving. I ordered chicken chop which is spiced chicken and lemon rice. The rice was a little too lemony for me but the chicken is good minus the burnt ends. read more

In the search of biryani and reading multiple reviews I decided to give Tikka Indian Grill a try. I wanted to try a different biryani other than chicken. We both decided to order the Lamb Biryani along with Garlic Naan. I already had the Chicken Tikka Masala and Coconut & Mango Chicken Meatballs and wanted some sides to set off our Sunday Dinner menu. I placed the order through Grubhub which said the delivery time would be 45-60 mins. I received the food in 40 mins. I was surprised that the food arrived early as opposed to late. The restaurant is not that far for me but considering the food takes time to make I was delighted when the delivery guy rang my bell early. He was really sweet and he handed me my food. The food was superb. The lamb biryani was flavorful and the lamb chunks were tender. Each scoop of rice contained a nice chunk of lamb. The rice to lamb ratio was perfect. The garlic naan was bomb. You can actually see the silvers of garlic on the bread. It was simply delightful. read more

Tried Chicken Biryani for the first time today. Tasted very heavy of spices and herbs. Too much matter of fact. In my opinion, herbs and spices are supposed to add a kick or be a complementary side.It felt like I was just eating herbs not chicken or savory rice. The biryani tasted just of spices and herbs. The Garlic Naan bread size and texture was great but again it tasted so strongly of herb to the point where it was bitter and too much. I also had to eat the food with my hands Indian style because they put no forks or spoons in my takeout bag. Luckily I had hand sanitizer to use before eating. Overall I don't recommend it and would not buy it again. read more

*wrote the same review under the Tikka Indian Grill - Astoria Location* Uber Eats almost ruined my night but Joey, the owner of Tikka Indian Grill at both Astoria and Kew Gardens, saved it! We placed an Uber Eats order on Sunday night but it was heavily raining in the NYC/Queens area. Uber Eats canceled my order and REFUSED to give me a refund since I canceled "before the estimated wait time" which kept on getting pushed back to almost 2 hours ... In my last hope, I called the restaurant and Joey worked closely with me to provide a fresh, new order and let me pick it up on my own. He was extremely accommodating, and kind, and understood my situation without any hesitation. Also, the food was AMAZING! I definitely recommend their Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan, and Saag Tikka Masala. I will be a returning customer because of this business owner's generosity! read more

Came here for Wednesday night dinner w my boyfriend . Ordered mango lassi and added some Hennessy to it. Taste delicious !

I ordered a shrimp mughlai biriyani with a couple of other dishes. It STUNK up my fridge for weeks!!! I don't know what food ingredient is in it, but even after throwing it out, EVERYTHING smelled like it. I took some eggs and made scrambled eggs, smelled like the biriyani. My cornbread, other meats, EVERYTHING smelled like it. Whatever flavoring or smell added to this dish, I'd seriously ask this restaurant TO STOP USING IT. It's terrible and I'm having to buy extra items on Amazon and anything I can try just to get rid of this smell. read more

Let me be extremely fair! So my first experience wasn't the best. I would say you better be extremely certain of what's in each dish as to avoid the AWFUL experience I had. I ordered the Tikka Masala which is like the pad Thai of Thai food lol so you seriously can't go wrong but it's not that special either. The sauce was a nice consistency, although it could've been seasoned much more aggressively to avoid the overload of what almost tasted like creamed plain tomato sauce to be honest. It wasn't the best but it wasn't awful. It was okay. The second dish I ordered was the Kadai chicken and this is where all hell broke loose! Upon first taste, this should be one of the stars of their menu. Delicious peppers and onions if I'm recalling right, with the chicken all harmoniously sautéed and seasoned together. Ugh. So good. HOWEVER! I mistook a "green vegetable" for a vegetable, and in all reality it was a damn hot pepper! Pretty damn hot at that because my mouth was set a blaze and whatever it's juices touched made it freakishly hot! I had to remake my plate and everything was wonderful from that point on. The basmati rice was also cooked to perfection and I made my own seasoned green beans at home. An overall great dinner! Just remember when ordering the Kadai chicken, it's not a vegetable! It's a hot pepper! The dessert I ordered was called Kheer which is basically an Indian version of rice pudding and it was STUNNING! Omg! So good! It makes cozy shack rice pudding taste like dirt in comparison! Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant! The Tikka Masala was nothing to write home about, but it was more than made up for with the absolutely delicious Kadai chicken, basmati rice and Kheer. Those were the stars for me, especially that delicious rice pudding. Omg. I will definitely be back! Don't walk but run to get you some! read more

It honestly hurts me to leave bad reviews but I have to be honest here. I took a chance to try a new restaurant, and paid $17 for a chicken tikka masala which came in a small container and lacked so much flavor. I've ordered from much cheaper places in the area and received twice the amount of food for much less. I was shocked by what was sent. Secondly, I ordered two kulfis and they came in tiny solo cups that I paid almost five dollars for and once again it was lacking flavor. I was excited to support a local Indian restaurant but sad to say I won't be ordering from here again. read more

The chicken was soft and tender the rice was well seasoned a bit spicy so beware if you can't handle spices. The mango lassi was smooth and delicious fit perfectly to cool down the heat from the spices from the chicken and rice. I really enjoyed the meal and will come back. The price was affordable the bill for both me and my girlfriend is $60 before tip. The service was fast considering me and my girlfriend were the first customers there for a while. The server was friendly and everything came fast. Def worth trying especially if you like Indian food or giving it a try for the first time. Overall 4.3/5 stars read more

The food here was absolutely delicious. I've had a lot of Indian food and this definitely exceeded my expectations. We ordered the pakora as an appetizer, chicken tikka masala, saag paneer & the chicken chop. The chicken tikka masala and saag were great but the real star was the chicken chop. It was fantastic so flavorful. The inside has limited space but they have a very nice outdoor set up. Definitely will come back here. read more

Tikka Indian Grill is a great spot in Kew Gardens to get Indian food, especially during COVID. There's a beautiful outdoor dining area set up and the restaurant does a great job distancing everyone. It's located on Metropolitan Avenue so street parking can be difficult to find. Also, it's BYOB! My friends and I weren't sure what to get and the waitress was patient and made some great recommendations. We loved everything she recommended. We ordered the Samosa Chaat, Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Korma, and Paneer Saag to share between three people and we were all so full. Everything was very flavorful and the meats were so tender. Their Mango Lassi is also delicious and makes for a perfect summertime drink. All in all great service and great food. And make sure to check-in on Yelp for free kheer! read more

Walked into this place for a quick lunch. Ordered the shrimp Jalfrezi and lamb biryani.

I don't why but I was craving Indian food and my gf and I had a lunch date planned and she just moved to the neighborhood. This place is on the next block from her her new apartment so I wanted to give it a shot. It was a rainy day and we were the only people in the place which made it awesome. Its a cozy spot, small with warm decor. Our waitress was so sweet. I love the menus on tablets with full color photos. She recommended the Samosa Chaat (I think I spelled that wrong) but so what...it was bussin . My friend ordered the chicken chops and ordered the black pepper chicken which comes with rice. Now those chicken chops where EVERYTHING!!! OMG I was kinda mad I didn't order them but I can promise you when I go back and I will, I will order that first thing! The BP chicken as good and very spicy. I mean you have to like spicy...I was sweating so maybe have them adjust the spice if you are a light weight. Of course I checked in on Yelp and got a free dessert which was the rice pudding. I love rice pudding so o gobbled that up. My bad that I didn't take more pics. I will on my next visit and do am update! read more

To echo some earlier reviews, the outdoor seating here was excellent. They had dedicated patio seating along the side of the building, so there were many tables and they were mostly socially distant. The patio furniture was nice as well, made of heavy iron and seemed very clean. Nice string lighting and torches along the side made for very excellent ambiance. The food and presentation were also superb. Basmati rice accompanied every entree, and the extra garlic naan we ordered was fresh and tasty. The menus were on ipads, which I hope were cleaned between tables...I did not see any prior finger smudges to the contrary. We're glad to have found such a great outdoor dining experience in such pandemic times. read more

It's seems that the patrons who have given this place 5 stars may have never tasted authentic Indian food! The decor should get 4 stars, very clean. The wait staff very disinterested, Sat night when one would expect a crowd, it was just the two of us and yet the food took a while to be served. The waitstaff did not once ask how were we doing and if they could bring us something during the wait. It seems like this place is a souped up delivery place with a high dollar amount, serving very small quantity for a high price. We ordered small plate of Chicken Tikka, it was not as moist as it can be because the pieces were cut very small.. 9$ for 5 small pieces a bit of a rip off Next was Mughali Shrimp Biryani.. what can I say, it is shrimp Pulao at the best. Please don't name your dish something it's not!! Like I said earlier food made here will never appeal to a shudh desi (pure Indian) taste buds, where every spice, hits a sensory nerve, sadly here it did not. And the worst part is a good Biryani is served with Side of Spicy Salan (Chillies in Cashew Curry) and Raita, it's a staple. Tikka charges 4$ for Raita!!!! Really?? Come on Dude and it had a sweet under taste!! I will give credit, when it is deserved.. the FREE dessert (KHEER) really hit home! Thanks Yelp for this offer upon check in. The KHEER was rich, very flavorful and perfectly balanced level of sweetness. I think everyone should order this if nothing else. I probably will never return but I do wish this business all the best and I hope you can take some constructive criticism from my review. read more

Not sure how this restaurant has 4 stars. I ordered delivery Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Rogan Josh, Samosas, Garlic Naan, and Chicken Tikka appetizer. Not one thing tasted good and everything lacked any flavor you would expect at an Indian restaurant. The chicken tikka masala tasted like tomato sauce from a can with no spices added, not even salt. The lamb Josh Rogan did not taste like lamb and the sauce was mostly onions with no taste. The naan was chewy, and the samosas tasted old with no flavor except old oil they were fried in. I have had better tasting frozen TV dinner Indian food bought at the supermarket than this actual restaurant. The portion sizes were also tiny, which is fine, since I only ate a few bites before throwing the rest in the garbage, the same place as my money with this food. I would never eat here again even if the food was free, it was that bad. read more
