    Food was good. Not many vegetable dishes available. Service was alright. Ambiance was good, well decorated for the space. Aloo gobi 4.5/5 Butter chicken 4.5/5 not too sweet

    Tikka Paneer Makhani

    This is the perfect spot to stop before going to a concert at Forest Hills. I came here with a friend on a Saturday around 4:45 p.m. and was not disappointed. It wasn't that crowded at that time to our pleasant surprise. We started off with samosas which were perfectly cooked. The waitress kept trying to bring us more samosas even though we only ordered one. I had the tikka makhani, which was on the sweeter side and could have used a bit more heat. The chili garlic naan, however, was delicious and really brought balance to the meal. The restaurant interior is clean and well-organized. Service was friendly, but on the slower side. Prices were decent for Queens, and the portions pretty large (neither one of us finished our curry).

    Yummy! We ordered butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. Food was delicious. They give complimentary chips. The servers were kind, we got our food fast. I loved the ambiance of the store and music. Definitely coming back and trying more!

    Great food great service awesome experience Great selection of food. So many items to choose from. I have a sweet spot for savory sweet and tangy food, and this was just that Service was quick, professional, and presence was top notch. Water always filled and a few check ins throughout meal. Inside looked amazing. Very spacious

    Malai kofta - small portion size

    We've ordered plenty of times from Tikka N Talk and enjoyed their food in the past. However, after tonight's take out order, I may have to order something else. The size of their entrees, particularly the Malai Kofta is small. To add insult to injury, it took an hour past the estimated wait time for them to finish preparing the food for the delivery person.

    I love TNT! Even though my first experience here wasn't the best, my 2nd one was awesome. Not only did they get my order right, but they also followed special instructions. In addition, the manager and staff members are extremely pleasant and professional..such a pleasure ordering from here! Good food and good service, what more can you ask for?? :-)

    chicken tikka masala and naan
    Amanda W.

    Very solid Indian food! We got chicken tikka masala and naan, and it tastes great but nothing too special

    Garlic Naan
    Sharon L.

    Think we might've found our new go to spot for Indian food in Queens! We had a bit of difficulty locating the restaurant because Google Maps dropped us off at the end of the block, but Tikka N Talk is a little further in and downstairs. We ordered the chicken tikka masala (mild), chicken vindaloo, and chicken biryani. The tikka masala here is SO good, but I think we'll order it a little spicier next time. We were thinking that the vindaloo would be super spicy, and we'd need something mild. The vindaloo was really flavorful & had a kick to it, but we could probably ask them for a bit more spice as well. Portions here are generous, well priced, and there's a good amount of chicken. The chicken biryani was unfortunately the one thing that was just okay to us. None of the flavors/spices were particularly noticeable, and it was a bit bland even with the raita. Highly highly recommend the garlic naan here - SO good. Service was friendly and attentive, and our waitress kindly addressed any questions we had. Cash & card are both accepted. Parking is a bit difficult.

    Once again my friends and I returned to this restaurant and were not disappointed. Staff was friendly, courteous and attentive to our needs. Helped us with our meal selections and came home feeling very full. Definitely will come back!

    I really enjoyed lunch at this place! They've recently rebranded to Austin Street Cafe/Bar & Grill…read more- and they have a sort of diner-esque vibe with a full-service bar ($7 happy hour cocktails!!!) They started us off with a croissant on the house, which was pretty good. Nice attention to detail as it was served with a heart-shaped side of butter. Also part of their happy hour menu are a couple select bar bites. I went for the chicken quesadillas, and it was a hearty portion at their price point. And it had a great flavor - chicken was nice and juicy. Natalie was our server, and was very attentive and friendly throughout our time here. And just when we thought it couldn't get better, Natalie and the manager brought us some cookies on the house to take home. Nothing but praise to be sung about this spot - I hear they're looking into possibly incorporating live music next. Will definitely be back - two thumbs up!

I heard him making jokes with customers and asking people for feedback. Now to the rest of it: service is weird and slow. When we were seated, we had to wait a little bit until receiving menus. Water wasn't automatically given to us also, so you have to ask. A woman took down our order, but later asked if we got waffles, even though I said pancakes - overall took 25 minutes to get our order of a salad and pancakes. Pancake platter came with two pancakes, two eggs, and a couple berries on the side. There's also an option to add sausage or bacon but no price there, which adds to the confusion. When we pointed it out, they removed the charge from our bill. There were maybe 3 people who stood behind the coffee bar which is kind of around a corner, making it hard to get service if you're not in their field of vision. Kind of strange there isn't a clear welcoming desk or something like that. Also, I think the menu uses AI as photos - there's a picture of a burger with fries and chips, but I don't think they serve chips. There's also a picture of cake with garlic next to it, which could be an artistic choice. We didn't get any drinks, but there was a table next to us who abandoned their full cups of Nutella lattes which was interesting.

This is probably my 4th or 5th visit and each visit has us ordering the Branzino, that should tell you something. Also note, I'm not a 'fish person', and I can't get enough of this Branzino. In addition to the AMAZING BRANZINO, we enjoyed steak frites, oxtail croquettes, fried calamari and a Boston wedge salad. Everything was amazing and delicious. The calamari has a sweet honey sauce drizzled on it. The salad was fresh and crisp, delicious dressing and crispy bacon included. We were very full but there's always room for dessert. Tried the key lime pie, stellar. If you're in Forest Hills be sure to check out White Radish. Staff is very friendly and amazing from beginning to end. Restaurant noise level is low to average.

And the place seems nice enough where it's not too loud. I was surprised to see only 1 other table. It's lunch time, I thought there would be more business. The service was good except the waiter kept on asking us if we wanted a starter. We politely declined a few times. The food was good. I ordered a cheeseburger and my friend ordered the 1/2 chicken. She said it was a little salty. But OK. My burger/fries was $19 and the chicken $22. Overall, it was OK. It is a nice restaurant. They should really offer lunch specials like the rest of Forest Hills restaurants. They can draw more people in for lunch. Bareburger has a lunch special $15 for any burger/fries with a soda. Mad for Chicken has lunch specials too.

It has very good quality food and excellent service. Other than the owner, most servers barely can communicate in English. However, I always felt welcomed and appreciated. In today's environment with so much hatred in the air, this place feels like an oasis right in my backyard. The food is always solid, with the salami breakfast plate being one of my favorites. It comes with three pieces of juicy and flavorful thick cut salami and three pieces fried cheese, two perfectly cooked running eggs, along with mashed plantains. Delicious! I also like their lunch foods, such as pernil and oxtail. The turkey wings are tasty, but a but dry. Their soups are some of my most ordered items as well. My usuals are the trip stew and cow's foot soup. If you look at the crowd, you'll notice a mix of latinos and locals who recognize this small shop as a neighborhood gem. There is nothing else like it in Forest Hills, so I do hope they are around for many generations to come. We need more places like this.

The mafadine pasta was a good pick adorned with springy components like pea leaves and a compelling Parmesan vibe. Maybe I like vegetables more than I thought? The steelhead carpaccio special was a stunner. Based on my 1.5 bites of monkfish I'd also endorse that. This may be more of a "DVD extra" but when I originally looked up the QB many of the top-ranked items were breakfasts and some were p-zza (reverse SEO). Based only on lower-left menu placement I would say don't go that route and that specials are a good bet. Again this is only based on 1.5 bites but the eggplant parm special had great sauce. I'm undecided on the watermelon granita which wasn't all that watermelony but spicy dessert was different. I was surprised by how much I liked the edamame, since you can get that everywhere, but the Japanese 7-spice add an intriguing citrus kick.
