My friend and I came and I enjoyed a Butter Masala with Rice and Original Flatbread and she did the same, but with Tikka Masala instead. The spicy option she had was too hot where it's almost unenjoyable. I wish there was a "mild" or "medium" option because the regular masala I got could use a little bit more. Nonetheless, the service and staff were so kind & helpful with understanding the menu. The food was still so tasty! A bit pricy, but for good Indian food I'll take it. Would like more or bigger portion of Flatbread. I will be returning ! :) read more

Tikka Shack Indian Grub - Butter Masala with rice and Original Flatbread - Indian Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Good Indian food. Somewhat Americanized. Samosas and naan were the best part of the meal for sure.

Went here yesterday in an attempt to finally try some Indian food. Was horribly disappointed. In their defense I've never had Indian food and didn't know what to expect. I had the Chicken Tikka Masala and my BF had the Butter Masala. I liked his better than mine. I asked for Hot and it was not spicy at all. All was cold and I think I might've enjoyed the butter masala had it been hot. We came there just wanting to try it so all was not lost. The interior was nice and the staff were friendly. The Naan was good, would've been great if it were hot. It was nice to try something new but I was sad it was disappointing. I think I may go back to try the samosas. They were out when I came. read more

I am enjoying the food from here. The meals are light on the protein if you order just the meal. There is an option to add additional protein to your meal which I think most people don't understand. I personally prefer my food with minimal meat of any so this option is great for me. I ordered the butter chicken, it was great. Three chunks of chicken and a side of basmati rice were included. For the price I feel like this was the correct portion. I will eat here again. read more

being from Dallas, I am used to Indian food that is better than the food in India ... so I had low hope for Tikka Shack before going but I was pleasantly surprised! took my family when they came to move me in and we all tried different things. Excellent service, clean restaurant, cool decor, and decent fast Indian food to satisfy your craving until you go to Dallas or Houston. read more

Ok so I'm going to attempt to be fair based on the idea that this is quick service imitation Indian food. So since Everyone likes to start off with atmosphere let's go. This location is clean the people attending register were nice and the environment okay not my cup of tea for music but muzak is muzak. All the people sitting at the table seem to be enjoying their food I wouldn't say it was a lively vibe but it's a fast food restaurant no one's going there for the vibe right normally. So let's move to the food being that this is my first visit to the location I decided to try one of their specials which was a grilled curried steak over a bed of rice for $11. well first let me say thank God there was the curry sauce over my steak otherwise the rice may have been unedible. The steak was flavorful however severely fatty even if I take into account the fact that this isn't $11 dish. And don't get crazy I love a fatty steak but steaks that have fat for flavor or one thing this felt like that for filler. I also decided to get one of their chicken wraps. Unfortunately I can't put inflection on it but when I say chicken wraps I'm confused by the small amount of chicken and how small the actual wraps were. and this dish came with an option of either rice or Salad which I was confused by yet again because in my mind I thought that was going to be in the wrap and it wasn't. and in this case I could really use something resembling sauce because the rice was dry I know this is supposed to be an Indian restaurant and an Indian recipe but it was as dry as the sand in Indian Desert. not really sure what the Tomato base sauce that came in a cup was but it reminded me of tomato soup from Campbell's but then somebody threw some weird spice into it. read more

I have absolutely loved eating here since it opened but recently I found a hair in my naan, and I'm 90% sure it was beard hair. It was a part of the bread which is truly disgusting. Maybe if they were more compliant with wearing hair nets/ beard nets this would not have happened ‍ read more

You must keep what this restaurant is trying to do in perspective. This is a clean fast food restaurant that serves good Indian food. The decor is minimalist and is kept very clean. You order from a menu on the wall while you stand in front of the cash register. If that lowers your expectations, then you will be pleasantly surprised by the food. While not great, the food is pretty good. They do not skimp on the quality or quantity of the protein portion (chicken, lamb, etc.) of each dish, so you do not leave hungry. Unfortunately, they suffer from a common restaurant ploy; when the customer prefers to avoid sugar, caffeine, or alcohol and asks for water to drink, the customer is given a cup that is so small that it would need filling three or four times to finish the meal. Keep in mind that there is no table service, the customer needs to get up and walk over to the water dispenser each time the little cup is dry. I get it, they are trying to sell some drink, but my wife and I already pay a $25 to $35 bill, can't I get a water glass that will get me through dinner? Truth be told, the cashier can be convinced to give you a larger cup (after offering some resistance), but should I need to go through this? This issue costs them the second star. read more

Really yummy Indian curry and naan, i was very impressed. Super cute store too, loved the design. Good service, food came out super fast.

This is our absolutely favorite Indian place. They have delicious vegetarian options without sacrificing any of the taste.

I am a really picky eater and I love this place! Trust me, that means a lot. The curry with some garlic naan is what I crave most days. I come twice a week just about. The atmosphere is very modern and accommodating and I've never not seen a warm smile on a staff member! Best part: there are more than one vegan option!! That's huge for me and a competitive advantage for the restaurant! Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Great Indian food at a great location which is dangerously close to where I live. Food is always fresh and hot when ordered and the staff is typically really nice and welcoming. Try the butter chicken with garlic Naan if not sure what to order! read more

This is my new obsession. I want to try other things, but the chicken tikka masala is so good, I also don't want to get anything else.

The food is alright but not worth the price, there's a few things like the size of the naan which is soo small and the samosa chaat is like so bad because there's a small piece of samosa and a whole bunch of chickpeas and onions, and the samosa is crushed your not supposed to serve it crushed, and I also think that the chicken tikka is really bland. This place would be so good if they were generous with their portions and not stingy. read more

My sixteen year old son randomly decided he wanted to try curry, so off to the Tikka Shack we went. The restaurant has light colored wood and is pretty bright. It was very clean and simple. The woman at the front counter was very friendly and helped my son and I choose our food items. We both got there lamb Tikka masala, but I got mine spicy. The garlic naan was WONDERFUL (I think it's me new favorite food!). It was a little pricier than I would have liked $40 for both entrees, two drinks and an appetizer), but the food was good!! read more

They took FOREVER. They forgot my rice. There was very little chicken in my order because they, apparently, don't know how to weigh and measure proteins for consistency like literally every other place on the planet. And, once again, they folded the naan over so that it melts together. So, you're forced to either eat it like a folded piece of pizza, or tear off one half of the bread with no toppings and have the other half left with all the toppings. Ridiculous! If only there were any other fast casual options for Indian in town, this place would be out of business in weeks. read more

This is like your Indian food version of Chipotle and it's freaking delicious. I tried the chicken wrap with a side of rice and it was soooooo good. Super flavorful and really hits the spot when you're starving. The wrap is pretty big, it's filled with chicken, cheese, tomato and salad and it's served warm. The side of rice is really a huge portion of rice and was plain but if you sprinkle the sauce it comes with, really does it justice. I wasn't able to finish the whole platter so I was able to split it into two meals. And because I did that, I wish they gave us more sauce because the rice didn't taste super flavorful without it. The interior of Tikka Shack is modern. Very roomy and spacious. The menu is located at the front of the line along with their description too. This place is definitely Americanized and if you're trying to ease your way into Indian food, this is a good start, at least for me it is. I would definitely come back if I were ever in Lubbock looking for a quick meal. read more

Definitely great if you are craving Indian food. We were passing by and saw how this place had great reviews. It definitely lived up to its expectations. I liked how there are veggie options. There isn't a full authentic Indian food menu (like they didn't have saag) but it was still delicious. The naan we ordered was garlic naan and it didn't taste like garlic at all. The naan didn't taste authentic. This place is great if you want fast Indian food but it's not necessarily 100% authentic. I'm Indian food obsessed so maybe I am more picky than the average person when it comes to Indian food. This place was great and most of all the bathrooms were very clean which I really appreciated! read more

I am a *frequent* customer here and felt the need to toss in my two cents. Service - 9/10 Cleanliness - 10/10 Variety - 8/10 Ease for custom orders - 10/10 Creativity of fusion dishes - 10/10 (the masala fries are bomb!) 1. There is some variability in the portion sizes of the curry; however, it has yet to be so glaring that it's stopped me from coming back. 2. You have to actually KNOW how to order your food. Don't complain that it's too bland if you do not order it with some spice (yes you can ask for hot and extra hot). You can also order extra vegetables, meat, paneer, and so on. 3. They make the food fresh, so for those of us with more nit picky palates, it is true that there is a degree of variability in the flavor depending upon who is in the kitchen. 4. They are being more environmentally friendly than most other places by using recyclable and biodegradable containers. I've never had one rip or tear on me and I've gotten several large to-go orders on more than one occasion (when eating with friends etc.). 5. Fresh, handmade naan! The Goan Vindaloo and Spinach Masala are quite good (get them spicy!), the wraps are great too (go with the salad for sure though), the mango lassi is great (though when they first opened, they used to add a lot more cardamom which was quite good), and the samosa chaat is awesome. For the other people qq'ing about being from a "metropolitan area" and so on, get over yourself, please. I've lived in 3/25 of the largest cities in the *world* and I'm plum happy with Tikka Shack. I could go on about having Indian food all over the world, from France to East Asia, Canada to Peru... But it would be a moot point. Honestly, unless you've lived in the country where the food originates from, or you've had that style of food literally all over the world and have some strict method by which to compare each trial, your comment is invalid. Tikka Shack gets a 4/5 because it is a 4/5 restaurant. I have had my order messed up once or twice there, but that was out of about 20 visits, and as stated above (#1) there is variability in portion sizes. Neither of these are grievous offenses by any means and I'll continue being a frequent customer. read more

I LOVED IT ALL!!!! I got the Butter Masala with Paneer and a Samosa and Garlic Naan...of course I couldn't eat it all so I have lunch for tomorrow too!! The staff was super friendly and helpful and the restaurant was squeaky clean and the food was SO SO SO GOOD!!!! I really don't understand why these guys don't have more stars! Based on reviews I went to the Royal Indian Cuisine yesterday and it wasn't great at all!! read more

The samosas and garlic naan were very good. The lamb korma was above average. However, the chicken 65 was terrible -- it was just very dry chicken tandoori. There was no spiciness or sauce as true chicken 65 is supposed to have. Since I wrote the above, I've received a personal message from TS's owner apologizing about the chicken 65 and offering to comp my next order of the dish. That's very impressive, and based on that great customer service I've changed my rating from 3 to 4 stars. (Note: If you order delivery through Texas2Go, be aware that they list a "Tikka Shack ToGo Fee" over and above the delivery charge, which does not go to the restaurant.) read more

It's a very nice clean and modern place with tasty Indian food. Loved the service, Decor and the style. Will surely visit again.

Local spot that has real potential to go big. Pick your flavor, pick your meat and get ready to eat. Menu it pretty simple really can't go wrong no matter what you choose. I think as this part of town develops a bit more this place will go nuts. 12.00 for lunch is a bit step I do wish they had a lunch special in the 8-9 range 25.00 for two people for lunch is a bit steep. read more

Delicious! Every.single.bite. was savory until the very end. I happened to stumble on this place and it certainly knocked it out of the park for me. If you're in the neighborhood then I recommend you try this place! read more

I tried this relatively new place which opened about 8 months ago. They serve Indian food but restaurant has American vibe to it which I like to be honest. I think it will attract more locals to try it out. Regarding food I would say most of the items we ordered were tasty except paneer 65. This place stays open between lunch and dinner hours so that's a plus. read more

Chipotle is to Mexican food what Tikka Shack is to Indian. This is not where you go for authenticity - I shouted my order to a blue-eyed cashier over some full-volume Alesso on the speakers. Still, I think it's pretty good to satisfy your cravings in a pinch. Also, if your stomach is super weak but you wish you could handle real Indian food, this place is perfect. Not speaking from personal experience... I get the butter masala with chicken every time. Overall portion size is kinda small and sometimes they skimp on the protein. (Protip: don't be a scrub like me and wear white unless you want to accessorize yourself with sauce forever.) The masala fries they just added to their menu are BOMB, y'all. You can add your choice of meat or get them without; I didn't add any and was still full for hours after. Just enough spices/tikka sauce for a kick, but not enough to get soggy destroyed fries. Haven't found a combo this good since Chilantro's kimchi fries in Austin! My one major complaint is with their to-go containers (cardboard?) - the food inside steams the bowl up enough to make it rip really easily if you're not careful. I much prefer them to styrofoam/plastic but maybe they can start adding foil or something else inside to prevent this from happening. Brightly lit interior with lots of seating, clean tables and wood decor. Service is friendly and the wait has never been longer than 15 minutes. Three stars for price vs. portion and how much I'd get judged by my brown friends for giving any more than that. read more
