WOW! So I'd like to start off saying being Indian I can be picky with my Indian food. Of course mom and grandmas cooking is the best to me. However, my husband was craving Indian and I found tikka shack nearby. I was so amazed and impressed with them!! The wings ARE A MUST!! BUT they are super spicy!!! So have extra water nearby I also loved my standard go to of the butter chicken masala. The lamb vindaloo was cooked perfectly- everything is pretty spicy- the cheese naan was only 1 slice I wish it was more but everything was Amazing and we will be ordering from here again! read more

I love the option to get some good fast casual food that isn't the typical type of place. I picked up some Goan Vindaloo and a garlic naan. The food was ok. It hit the spot and tasted good, but not quite the same level as other Indian food places. It's a good option for convenience though. I also tasted the tikka masala and liked that better than the goan vindaloo. read more

First time here and got to try a mix of foods. Ordered a couple tacos and dishes. The tacos were something different that I've never seen before. Was told they were small but to my surprise they were a good size! They tasted good but a little awkward to eat as they didn't fold like a taco. The butter masala was delicious and had a mix of big flavors but the lamb biryani was a bit dry and lacked flavor. Naan was delicious! I'm a big fan of mango lassi's so it was great to see that. It was good but unfortunately was really warm. Service was great and it's easy to walk in and order. Ate there and I liked how they bring the food to you. Overall mixed feelings about this place. It's definitely more of a fast causal Indian spot with a few great choices. Might go back and try a couple more options. read more

We rarely crave Indian food but this day was different! We always passed this restaurant so today we decided to try it. The food was pretty good! I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, spicy and my husband got the Butter Chicken. It was pretty good, I just wished mine had more flavor than it did. We also ordered the gulab and it was alright. I usually love gulab but theirs was not the best IMO. I love their concept when it comes to ordering though. Very simple and easy! I love the option of being able to sit outside and enjoy the weather, but the inside seating was great too. I just personally didn't want to smell like food so we sat outside. Overall we'll be back if ever we're craving Indian food again. read more

Great and fast service. Great food, good music and friendly staff. The biryani was delicious.

Tikka Shack is a great little restaurant. It's a new concept for me: quick-serve Indian food. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. They are also open pretty late (until 10 pm on Friday nights, the night we were there), which is fantastic. Tikka Shack is located in Desert Ridge, close to the AMC Theatre and the pottery painting store (both landmarks in my world). I think they took over the old Panera location. They have a really varied menu. My boyfriend I both chose the "Craft Your Curry" option, where you choose your curry, pick a protein, and add on an optional naan or samosa. We both chose the korma masala. I went with shrimp and my boyfriend chose lamb. We both got a serving of naan. I went with the "shack naan," which is naan plus garlic, cilantro, and cheese. My boyfriend went with garlic naan. I highly recommend the shack naan. It was the highlight of my meal...so delicious! I could eat about 4 or 5 in one sitting! The portions were generous and the prices were quite reasonable. The rice was fluffy and perfectly cooked. I did not care for the shrimp. I was expecting more a "plain" shrimp and mine tasted greasy and overly spiced. It clashed with the korma. Next time, I will stick with the veggie option. My boyfriend loved the lamb and would definitely get it again. We would like to go back and sample the samosas, the tikka wrap, the vegetarian bowls, the tikka pizza, and the masala fries. The kids' naan quesadilla sounds yummy, too. I liked how two staff members (one was most likely the manager or the owner) stopped by to see how everything tasted and to get our feedback. We felt very welcomed at this establishment. read more

Delish Indian inspired food! I don't care if it's not authentic, because it honestly tastes really good. My go to's are the Butter Chicken and the Coconut Curry Wings. YUM! Desiree was taking orders during both of my visits, she is such a gem!! The food and the service are top notch here! read more

I thought the Butter Chicken Masala was amazing with a side of garlic Naan! It was my first time having Indian style curry and I might be spoiled by trying this first! Will be ordering from here again through Uber eats as it is a bit far from me. Thank you guys from such an amazing meal! read more

Tikka Shack Indian Grub - Butter chicken masala. - Indian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I love their food but the level of "spicy" just is so I consistent that I don't know to order w normal spice or mild! That is 2 stars. Everything else is 5 stars. But the food quality pretty much decides the restaurants ratings... so once their cooks become more consistent, I will rate them 5 stars. read more

I work in the area and I come here probably once a week because it's definitely the best option out of the inside mall area. The food is always consistently well made and the prices are reasonable for the most part. The staff is always friendly as well. I don't eat in most of the time but the place is always clean. Hannah and Shree are always helpful and kind! read more

Awesome food! Their Indian pizzas and chicken tikka plate is amazingly delicious. Highly recommend! Quick service as well.

I freaking love this place! I am there once a week minimum. The chicken kebob is cooked perfect and had just the right amount of char from the grill. The mango dressing, that's more like a salsa on the greens is SO good. And the rice...mmmmm read more

I was craving Indian food with a cute ambience and came upon this place while visiting the city. It is in a cute outdoor mall complex with an outdoor sitting area facing a fountain in a light up plaza. The food itself is reasonably priced for the portion, definitely Americanized Indian food (not as authentic per say) but I didn't mind as they had some of my favorites like malai kofta. My husband got the chicken tikka masala and really enjoyed it as well. It is very creamy, as often restaurant Indian food is, and if you are lactose intolerant, I REALLY recommend taking a Lactaid beforehand - first hand experience... Service was quick and easy. I would go again if I was in the area for sure! Don't expect anything too spicy... read more

I was starving, so I ordered at this new restaurant. My order was a standard chicken tiki masala. While I was eating, I discovered a long string of hair in my rice. It was really upsetting. read more

I LOVE TIKKA SHACK, before it was(I believe bought over)I've been coming here for years and years. My partner and I order from them pretty much weekly. The taco naan, the pizza, the dishes.. you cannot top the variety. The reason I'm leaving TWO stars is bc of the service, sadly. This is the third time in a row we've ordered directly from online with them and they have forgotten a piece of our order. So he gets back home with the food, I'm starving and I grab the mango lassi and he laughs and says"They almost forgot it haha" . I said oh good call bc of what happened the last few times! I go to get into my curry and there's no rice. None haha. I call them to let them know that he's driving back in and we took photos to show it's missing with my curry and the lady on the phone ARGUED WITH ME that bc I added tikka veggies INTO MY CURRY.. that by doing that(there's an option online to be charged for extra veggies in the dish which is what I picked.. I also added paneer, my lassi, a samosa and the shack naan and it came to about $25)she said the veggies inside of my dish that I payed extra for was my side. I told her that made no sense bc online it allowed me to pick basmati rice as my side and then the few extra additions for an extra price-showing that the rice was included in the original $11 and change for the curry. This lady is NUTSSS I have worked in customer service and the restaurant industry for over a decade and her nasty attitude with zero apology had me so heated that I actually hung up as she was yelling haha.. I neverrrr do that. If something simple is missing.. you replace it. This review is a warning to anyone ordering online.. CHECK THAT EVERYTHING IS THERE BEFORE YOU LEAVE. I have such a bad taste in my mouth from this experience that I may never come back again. She's horrible!!! read more

I will be craving the Biryani wings for months. So good and amazing value. Love the vibe of this place and the friendly staff.

No need to search for a busy sit down restaurant. Chicken Tiki Masala is always on Mr. G's mind so when we stumbled on this place after a search I was pleasantly surprised. Food was delicious! Order at the counter and sit and wait for your meal to be brought out to you. Grab a soft drink or my personal recommendation, grab a Mango Lassi while at the counter. Creamy mango and yogurt drink to help quell the spicy food your'e about to eat. Modern decor, good service, clean restaurant! Outdoor seating available. Located by the theatre at Desert Ridge outdoor mall. read more

Great food! Definitely worth further visits. The chaat was delicious! The tikka masala was great too.

My friend and I found this place before we even got to Arizona. Based on the ratings of all the Tikka Shack chains, we were both really excited to give this place a try. However, we were not that impressed. Since we both don't eat a lot, we ordered the Butter Masala + Chicken to share and 2 garlic naans (because we both loooove naan). Butter Masala + Chicken: The dish wasn't bad, but it was very mediocre. The chicken was also on the drier side, so it wasn't that pleasant to eat. The flavor was pretty basic, so nothing special at all. Garlic Naan: Again, nothing bad, but it was just so basic. You barely taste the garlic and the bread was super flat?? I don't know, we both were not impressed by it, which was pretty unfortunate. Overall, if you want a quick Indian meal, the chain isn't bad. However, for the food itself, I definitely had better. It's like if you wanted Mexican food, but went to Taco Bell or Chipotle instead--same vibe as that. read more

I've been a fan of Tikka since years ago when I first tried it at the original location in Lubbock. I wish some of the menu items from TX were here including their spicy chicken sandwich which was fantastic. I recommend going on Tuesday for Tikka Tuesday. They do it every first Tuesday of the month and you can get a good deal that includes tikka, naan and drink. This location is nice and you can walk around other shops. My only complaint and why I'm not giving them 5 stairs is that my boyfriend got the same as I but his plate barely had chicken. I hope next time we have better luck and both get even protein portions on our chicken tikka masala. read more

Fantastic tikka masala. Sauce was the best. Like bed the samosas too but the winner was the sauce.

Been here a few time always expecting something better and feeling let down when I leave. I love the idea of making Indian food more accessible and fast, but I think that is where some of the quality is then missed. I will say it is the Samosas is what keeps bringing me back. You receive 2 crispy pastries stuffed with potatoes, peas, and spices. It is served with 2 sauces that are just ok, but you really don't need to dip these. Delicious. The rice is always dry and lacking in flavor. The curries are ok, but lacking depth. Something is missing for sure. We have tried Tikka Masala, Korma Masala, and the Kabob bowl. These dishes just need an extra punch of something. They have a beer wall where you can pour your own beers and they carry local beers, so that is great! Their ice teas are also delicious. The place is convenient to us and I am sure we will go back - at least for the Samosas. read more

Been a fan of Tikka Shack since they opened but this location has gone way down in my experience. Luckily it's not my closest or they would lose my business. Im recommending people track, check & question their beer fountain spending at this location.. They sell beers by self pour fountain and charge by the ounce in 5oz cups, most beers are advertised as 45c to 47c and oz. but last night I got a 4.7oz pour of IPA at .47c an oz. The next SanTan IPA was out, but it dispensed 4.0 oz of foam. I reported this to the staff and was told they would credit me for that. I had another beer at 5.0oz. When I came to pay the manageress apologized and said she took off that beer but the remaining 2 beers came to $11.91. I asked for a receipt but they don't have itemized receipts for the beer. That's getting questioned with dept of weights and measures. When they were first opened I did have 'a lot of fun' when I first used the fountain my total came to $29... the cashier thought it was a mistake, but I'm used to paying large bar bills... now I think about it, that equates to 12 cups of beer. Now way did I drink that. So recommending you check your usages and charges. Secondly, when you order 2 of the same dish, they think they can charge $10 each for two dishes and put half as much in each. Pretty disgusting. The other veggie dishes I ordered this visit and the same order from other locations don't give you so little in the container that you see the bottom. Funniest thing is the registers and how they appear on your credit card statement, the business is registered as Dessert Ridge lol! read more

The chicken tikka is so flavorful and the chicken is always spot on. Only thing I'd maybe recommend is new takeout boxes, they're always spilling and getting everywhere read more

Practical menu - Paneer Tikka and Beer was good. Veg. Cutlets were horrible, may be stale

Excellent Indian option with a fast service option. Think of Chipotle meeting your local Indian shop. Quality and portion size is fair to price. Some options are extra, but so is the case with most other places. I only wish that they would open more locations in East Valley around Gilbert/QC area! read more

I like this place. Fast food Indian? I've been here a few times and service here is always good. Owner or staff walks around to check on customers, she gave me discount coupons for the next visit, but I keep forgetting to bring one. I have some coupons on my work desk form here. I just have to remember to put in my purse before I leave the office. I noticed they serve beer here. I came here only during lunch time but I think it might be good to come for dinner and enjoy Indian appetizer and beer. They have Indian sweet drink. I think it is a lot of calories but when curry is spicy, it is good to have that sweet drink to help me cool down. Located at the desert ridge in front of the water splash pads area. I think patio seats available too. read more

I love Indian food and had wanted to try this place for a while! Stopped by before a movie and it's not too bad! Very clean in here and nice staff. I usually go for lentil or chickpea dishes at Indian places, but I decided to give the Malai Kofta bowl a try. It was tasty but left me feeling a bit sick after, may just have been what I ordered. I also got garlic Naan that wasn't as good as I expected, but it's hard to mess up bread! Wasn't the best Indian I've had, but was what I had expected from a fast-ish food Indian place. I would not be opposed to returning! read more

There needs to be a better ventilation system The butter chicken was pretty tasty. I did not order the hot or even medium spice level and it still Had plenty of punch The korma Marsala has a good blend of chicken and vegetables. Sufficiently spicy A little more expensive than I anticipated for what we received read more

Delicious!! Door Dashed and was packed very well. Butter chicken was so good. I got the house level heat and my girlfriend got me hot level spicy and it was absolutely perfect.

Place is neat and well maintained read more

Does this place even resemble Indian other than in name? What a horribly bad meal. Naan was frozen and served (delivered). I can honestly say I've never had Indian food and not had freshly prepared Naan. The Chicken 65. This was so over spiced (I mean chew on the seasoning spiced). I'm not saying it was over seasoned yet tasted like any Chicken 65 I've ever had. The upside was the veg made it semi edible. The vindaloo. DO NOT ORDER THIS if you actually like vindaloo. The spices are actually not even in the same family. The gravy was like a mush of whatever was in the kitchen. (Seriously this isn't vindaloo gravy). Samosa - fine .. wondering why 2 samosas are served with a single thimble (1 thimble size container) of sauce ?? So I'd give this 1 star but I ate it, so I gave it 2. This isn't good Indian food. I'd suggest going somewhere else if you like authentic or good food. read more

My wife and I love good Indian food, and learning about a casual Indian restaurant opening up at Desert Ridge has been exciting for both of us! We have been counting down the days until today's grand opening of the Tikka Shack Indian Grub restaurant. This evening, we enjoyed our first experience, and it was a great one! Heading into Desert Ridge Marketplace, we easily spotted Tikka Shack though it took us a moment to realize that we needed to go through the wooden gate to get to the restaurant doors. We were immediately welcomed by staff and pointed right over to the counter to place an order. Along the way, we met Sunny, who was an owner or manager; he thanked us for coming. The service was very quick with the food arriving fast, and the staff asked us to let them know if we needed anything. We each decided to order a "build your own curry dish" where we first were asked to pick a dish (masala, kabob, wrap, or salad), then a protein (chicken, paneer, or lamb), and finally add-ons (naan, garlic naan, or Shack naan). We both ordered masala dishes with an add-on of garlic naan. I ordered chicken, and my wife ordered paneer. My wife's dish even had a cinnamon stick and a bay leaf in it for seasoning, which I hope was intentional. Regardless, both orders were quite generous in portion size and VERY tasty! And while we aren't really drinkers, there was a self-serve beer tap area with many options. The price was reasonable, too, and there are coupons available through signing up on their website or following along on social media. This is their first Arizona location following their two Lubbock, Texas restaurants. You can read more about their chain at https://tikkashack.com as well as following them on Instagram. The Phoenix location even has its own account (@tikkashackphoenix). While you may or may not choose to follow them online, you definitely want to come and visit Tikka Shack and give them a try if you like or may like Indian food! read more

My friend who is Indian told me Tikka shack was her favorite restaurant. I'm typically not a huge fan of Indian food but after looking at the menu, I thought it looked good and I'd give it a try. It exceeded my expectations. It was so great I went Saturday and Sunday. I ordered the spinach masala with chicken both times. My friend recommended the naan which was great to dip. read more
