This place is great. The quality of food is excellent and their Chicken Tikka Masala with Garlic Naan is fantastic. The restaurant is very clean and the service is very good. So much so that you can tell that the owners really care. Also, their prices are exactly where they should be with the generous portions. After checking out the rest of their menu, they have many "safe" Indian dishes that won't scare unfamiliar palettes. However, if you are unsure of what to get, you can absolutely not go wrong with Chicken Tikka Masala here. There is a severe lack of really good Indian restaurants in the north Phoenix/north Scottsdale area, outside of Twisted Curry (decent, but they don't have Tikka Masala) and Marigold Maison (excellent, but expensive). This place is a home run for Desert Ridge Marketplace. read more

The food is amazing highly recommend the southern curry or the tikka pizza (light meal but perfect) and the staff is super friendly. Very clean and the inside is super cute , great place to hang out with friends and have a quick meal. read more

Seemed a bit steep on the price, but that's just me. I only tried one thing on the menu, so it seems unfair to base my experience on just one item. It was good though. Ordered to Southern Bowl. Just the right amount of spice. Had better chicken elsewhere for that price. read more

Updating review from 5 to 4 stars due to lack of chicken in curry. Flavor and quality is great, but $10 for a bowl of sauce, rice, and just a few pieces of protein is not a great deal. Tikka Shack is a modern fast casual restaurant with awesome Indian food. We tried the South Indian Chicken Curry with garlic naan and the Chicken Tikka Wrap with mango salad. Both meals had excellent flavor and quality with very reasonable portion size for the price. You can get your Curry as spicy as you want, but medium was perfect for SoutherWe will definitely be going back to try more of the menu. read more

Tikka Shack Indian Grub - Southern Indian Chicken Curry with garlic naan - Indian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This is a nice fast fresh place. The menu makes Indian food approachable. I had the saag (spinach) masala with lamb. The flavors are fresh and tasty. I ordered it hot and it was spicy. Not too but I tasted the heat and raita (yogurt dip) came in handy. My wife and son ordered chicken tikka masala. It was very good. All come with basmati rice. We added garlic naan bread and a samosa (potato filled). It also had nice spice (not heat). You order at counter and they bring food to the table. It's right off parking at desert view shopping center so easy access. The outside area is nice. With the misters we dined alfresco and it was 102 degrees. They also have a beer wall dispenser by the ounce so it's a nice spot for dinner as well as lunch. read more

Great fast-casual Indian food. Very clean environment. Lots of draft beer and wine options. Food was delicious. Good vibes all around! read more

Tikka Shack Indian Grub - Korma Masala - Indian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I'm hoping it's just opening issues since they are pretty new. The samosa was almost "wet" like the oil wasn't up to temp when they cooked it so it absorbed oil. The outside crust wasn't quite as crispy as it should be either. The chicken 65 was another disappointment. It too had an oily residue in the bottom of the dish and was about 1/2 the size you get at other places. It's almost like they didn't do the pan flash with seasonings right before serving. This step would likely remove the wetness and add some more flavor. read more

Checked out this new place in Desert Ridge and was looking forward to it as there aren't enough Indian restaurants nearby. Ambience is a bit modern with EDM playing in the background and decor kinda reminds me of a healthy smoothie place in the area but more minimal. As for the food, I ordered the tikka masala curry chicken with a garlic naan on the side. Truthfully I was disappointed. The chicken was rubbery and the curry bland (for Indian food!). Also the portions are too small for what you pay. The garlic naan was ok but a bit too thin and crispy for my liking. I tend to give restaurants another chance unless they are absolutely terrible so I'll update this if my opinion changes but for now I'll stick to the better modern and casual Indian restaurant that's just a little farther away. read more

They have great food and Indian food does really well with delivery. This is a great value.

We tried the spicy chicken wraps and loved them. Wasn't crazy about the side salad and my son didn't care for the rice but the wrap was tasty. Nice atmosphere and outdoor seating area too. Hostess was very friendly and helpful as well. read more

Tikka Shack Indian Grub - Spicy Chicken Wrap - Indian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

My first time visiting Tikka Shack. I was impressed, its been difficult to find Indian food in a casual fast dining environment. This works, keeping the ordering process simple, pick your curry, pick your protein and then add on other things. Theres also many other non curry choices. I picked the Goan Vindaloo with chicken , garlic naan and a samosa. Excellent all around and the spice level was perfect. So glad to find single portions. I prefer a traditional fluffy and crispy type of Naan but they do a thinner style that is closer to a thin bread but overall very nice with the sauce. The environment is excellent, clean and modern open plan. I noticed a large selection of beers, I'll indulge next time. Im giving it 5 stars because the food was excellent but on s personal level they have finally got rid of the dusty old Indian restaurant image and given Indian food a well deserved facelift! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the tikka shack. The food is Americanized Indian food but I expected that with the whole concept (kind of like Chipotle). It was pretty tasty, the portions were large and the price was very reasonable. I had the chicken tikka masala, rice, garlic naan and mango lassi. The curry itself wasn't really like curry, no depth of flavor or complexity like you'd expect in a restaurant but it was satisfying and the sauce was tastey. I asked for spicy but it wasn't spicy at all. I will definitely return since we live in the area and next time I'll try the butter masala with lamb. The desserts looked pretty good too. read more

I had to write this review, although usually not a person to write one star reviews. I had this really bad experience with this server named rosy for a pick up order. I called to place my order while I was driving on the way to the restaurant. This lady told she would put me on hold and I waited for couple of minutes yet she wasn't back. By the time I reached restaurant I was put on hold still, when I walked into the restaurant, the lady was busy serving other customers. It was hardly two tables in the entire restaurant, yet I was put on hold for that long to just get my order in. Is this how each customer is prioritized? As soon as I confronted her that she kept me on hold on the phone, she is not even apologetic about her behavior instead she tells me she was busy with arrogance. Later after I placed my order with another server, I came back to pick up my order. I saw her literally throwing my food bag on the table and she tells me to pick it up by myself again with arrogance. This is totally unacceptable and I'm very disappointed by the service. The owner of the restaurant should make efforts to be aware of such poor service. I don't think I'll ever visit this restaurant. I do not recommend the service nor the food. read more

Never been to an Indian "fast casual " restaurant. i was presently surprised the food and customer service are both great. I loved the self serve. Beer tap! Vegetarian options available. Portion sizes are good as well. read more

Yes! Fun new spot at Desert Ridge just across from Splash Pad. I ordered the Chicken Kebabs with a side of Garlic Naan. The Kebabs come with a generous portion of rice and a Mango Salad with big pieces of mango dressed in a sweet salad dressing. You also get a side of Tikka sauce for dipping your chicken. All in all a very satisfying meal without the guilt. They also have a Rewards Program. read more

The vibe is good especially a good spot for take out. However I got chicken tikka Masala which I've had other places and I even asked the guy behind the counter about it being spicy. He said they would make it not spicy. Anyways long story short when we took it home to eat mine was basically too spicy to eat. I might give t another shot in the future but if their "not spicy" is still spicy we won't be back. read more

Was rather dubious as to how we would like this food as other similar kind of chains have been lacking for our taste preference. Well this food turned out to be very good. I would certainly recommend it to anyone interested in trying it out. A word to the owners though if they are following,, what was terrible were the girls in the kitchen area, all screaming like high school girls in the playground , I'm not exaggerating, all of the customers just stopped eating and all eyes were on the kitchen area, all with those faces that were like, what the heck is going on here. . One in particular was the most inconsiderate and the loudest. To add to this further, I liked the music that was being played through the system, I even switched on soundhound to find out who it was playing. Soundhound picked up on the loudest music I guess as it identified with an Hispanic band, the sound of which was also coming from the kitchen. Perhaps it was isolated to this one moment in time, perhaps not but we would go again and find out as the food is worth it. read more

Nice little Tikka place in the desert ridge mall. I really love the way they make their wraps(pudina paneer my favorite). It's very crispy, cheesy and of course tasty. The service here is pretty good too. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the quantity of the Tikka skewer they server, the portion is way too small(and too much rice for that much chicken). Definitely recommend. read more

Went here for lunch, wasn't sure I would like it as I am not super familiar with Indian Food and it was amazing! the flavors are great and the amount of food you get is amazing! I have been there several times now and have tried different dishes and so far I haven't had one that I didn't like! As a bonus they have the coolest beer wall and cider for the non-beer drinkers. Place is super modern and so far amazing... will be eating here often! read more

Huge Indian food lover here. I would like to point out that I've been to almost all the Indian food joints around the valley and beyond. My son and I decided we'd drive up to try this. Walking in it looked very promising, clean, hip, and smelled good too. Got to the counter and was greeted right away and placed our standard order "two chicken tikka masala please". Went to sit down and before I knew it my food was brought to the table. This is where things went south very quickly. My first bite and the masala sauce tasted like tomato soup. I tried mixing it a bit and still, tomato soup. Now I understand this specific dish is tomato based, but this was so overpowering I just couldn't get through it. All in all my son and I ate maybe 30% and threw the rest out. I would not recommend going here because the food is definitely not up to par the way it should be. read more

Ela is all good vibes, helped us get that good water. Spice level on the tikka masala was perfect by the way, hope to have Ela as our waitress again Great food as always! read more

Nice fast casual Indian food place at Desert Ridge. The curries were as good as I've had in town. Reasonable prices and nice people. A lunch consisting of one samosa with sauce, tikka masala with basmati rice, and a mango lassi cost just $11. I'll definitely be back. read more

We are never disappointed at Tikka Shack! Everything is delicious! I wish there was one closer to our house though- but we still manage to go there a couple times a month. read more

Finally tried this place on my lunch break. I tried the recommendation that the manager/owner (not sure) suggested. Southern curry with chicken. It was amazing! The spice level was perfect, it had baby kefir lime leads, chili peppers, that gave it such a great flavor. The chicken melted in your mouth. I was going to order veggie not chicken because I hate chicken that is hard from being cooked for too long. But I was so surprised on how great the chicken was. While I was eating he came to check on how i was enjoying the meal and after i told him, he told me how they marinate the chicken for 36 hours. I also had some garlic naan that was perfection. Cant wait to come back and try their other dishes. Fast and friendly service, perfect for lunch or just a night out. read more

We FINALLY had a chance to come to Tikka Shack today and I cannot tell you how excited we were! We are so happy you've opened. We are in such need for fresh, delicious, healthy food in this area!! We had the Butter Chicken (to die for) and the Kid's Kabobs. We licked our plates clean. They were both HUGE portions and both so fresh even at a later time in the evening (830pm). We loved how impeccably clean everything was and how cute your chic decor is! Thank you for opening up! We will for sure come to visit you often and highly recommend you to our friends! read more

My first time here. First impressions. Clean, friendly, staff wearing masks, and constantly cleaning. The food is fresh and legit. I had the lamb curry. Lamb was tender and the curry was flavorful with a nice taste and kick. I really enjoyed it. I also had garlic Naan. Very soft and great taste. My wife had the mango lassi, a yogurt mango drink. It was so yummmy. You should check this place out for a quick Indian curry fix. read more

Beyond grateful this place is here! I don't think there is better Indian food anywhere near by. Tikka Shack is definitely my go-to when I'm in the area-or-when I'm near by and need to grab a quick bite. The food is delicious, and in my opinion better than anything around or in Desert Ridge. Highly highly recommend. Really quick, extremely friendly and helpful staff, and even through restrictions due to Covid they've still maintained a high level of quality across the board. Can't say that for the majority of the restaurants I've ordered from since the Covid outbreak. Order all the foods!!! Vegan/veg friendly. read more

I was so excited to order food! I ordered through the website, and it went really well - but the food never arrived. There's no one to call and explain what happened. Put on hold - no actual resolution to my food. I will have to challenge this through my credit card. read more

Excellent Indian in Desert Ridge that just opened. Parish is the owner and has done a great job. It is nice to find an Indian place where you can get a quick take out. I highly recommend their Butter Chicken Masala and their Chicken Tikka Masala. Both come with basmati rice. Their garlic naan is excellent. They have some yummy looking desserts at the front counter, so I will have to try them next time. read more

Ultra thin curry and barely any of it in my delivery order. The naan and kofta balls were also tiny. The curry tasted good and the basmati rice looked and tasted good. Really just wish the curry was thicker and there was more food in my order. read more
