Customer Reviews
What a fantastic find. I came across this place while searching for Indian food on my way to a state baseball rules meeting, and I truly did not know what to expect. From the moment my son and I stepped inside Tikka Masala Indian Grill & Bar, we felt welcomed. The dining room was bright and inviting, and the aroma of fresh spices immediately let us know we were in for something special. After talking with our waiter, we learned the restaurant has been open for about eight months. You would never guess it was that new. Everything felt polished and well organized. We decided to start with the Paneer Pakora, and it was absolutely delicious. The outside was perfectly crisp, while the paneer inside was warm, soft, and full of flavor. It was the kind of appetizer that disappears quickly because
Great spot from the same owners of one of my favorites Clove on Sawmill. I don’t usually do buffet but I tried it because I was too hungry to wait. I’m pescatarian and there was a fish option and 4 vegetarian options plus naan and salad. Food could be a little hotter in the buffet but nice flavors. I’d come back but it’s tough to beat the fish mahi dish off the main menu.
We’ve been wanting to try Tikka Masala for a while and finally did tonight. I’m really glad we did! The food was delicious and the service great. The portions are generous and we can’t wait to enjoy our leftovers. The atmosphere is lovely. The background music was soft and melodic creating a calm peaceful atmosphere, which we found to be the perfect way to unwind on a Friday night after a long work week. We look forward to returning and trying other items. As my husband said “This was excellent. I’d come back in a heartbeat.”
This place could’ve be more perfect. Maybe could be bigger, but it’s so awesome! I love this place so much now! Service was friendly, the food was so good and for it being semi small, they still had a lot of popular Indian dishes offered at the buffet! I will so be coming back!
We went here for their lunch buffet in a Saturday. While not huge, what it has was very well done. Both the tIkka Masala and Lamb curry were wonderful. I also enjoyed the Saag, chickpeas and potatoes. Staff was very friendly and food about keeping water glass filled and collecting used dishes. They were constantly topping of the items on the buffet. The amounts in each pan were not humongous so the items stayed nice and fresh. We definitely plan to return in the future. Update 2026: Returned for a Saturday lunch. Food was still very good and top notch staff that kept our water glasses filled and promptly removed empty dishes. Still on our go to list for Indian food
