TIKKA SHOTS FUSION RESTAURANT & BAR

The BEST overall dining experience in all of Portland. Yes, that is what I wrote. All the boxes are checked! All the stars align for Tikka Shots! Martha is amazing! She suggested menu items and is really passionate about explaining the dishes. The appetizers are so fun and interactive and artistic. We ordered samosa shots, chicken reshmi kabab and hariyali chicken tikka. Also ordered garlic naan fresh and delicious and garden symphony curry it was so cozy, savory, and flavorful! Also, Carlos was patient and attentive. The music and ambiance was beautiful and upbeat. This is place is a MUST GO and MUST CONTINUE TO GO, it is the BEST!

I had an amazing dining experience at this Indian restaurant! The ambience is warm, elegant, and beautifully designed — perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. The tandoori dishes are absolutely outstanding — juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The tikkas especially stood out — tender, smoky, and packed with authentic spices that hit just the right balance. What made the evening even better was the staff and manager, who were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and friendly. They made sure every detail was taken care of and genuinely made us feel at home. If you’re looking for delicious Indian food with top-notch service and a lovely atmosphere, this place is a must-visit! 🌶🍗🇮🇳

I always like Indian foods. I have tried the 3 restaurants closed to downtown but their dishes taste like microwaved. I believe this restaurant is recently opened in late 2025. I always walk by but I didn’t come in because it looks fancy unlike other Indian restaurants which are dark and old. Today, I finally walked in and ordered a few dishes! Wow! I am impressed! The food taste fresh! The meat maybe from the fridge, but they still taste good? The garlic naan taste very different from all other Indian restaurants I have been. Their garlic naan was very crispy! Just like super thin cracker! I am not sure if they make it in house or from the store, they taste very good for me! I can’t wait to go back for the 2nd round, I will plan to try their titka and I hope they aren’t from microwave.

I tried the Peri-Peri Shrimp Tikka Skewers, Spinach with Paneer Jewels, Chicken Tikka Masala, The Goat Affair Biryani, and the garlic naan, and every dish was outstanding. The presentation was beautiful—colorful, fresh, and thoughtfully plated. The shrimp were perfectly grilled with bold spices, and the spinach with paneer was rich, velvety, and comforting. The Chicken Tikka Masala featured tender chicken in a smooth, flavorful tomato-cream sauce. Beware of bones in the goat biryani but great flavors, especially with some added cashews! The garlic naan was soft, perfectly cooked, an excellent complement to the meal. Overall, a delicious and memorable dining experience.

Food is amazing. We ordered our food mild spice and it was not spicy but the flavor was still outstanding. Beautiful plating. I wasn't even hungry to begin with but just kept eating because it was so delicious.
