I have been to the other location of Tikka and Grill in South Denver and was very impressed with their food, so I was excited to find this second location only 1 mile from my house! Lunch today was exceptional, my partner and I split the pappadam, Mushrooms Manchurian, the Sweet Potato Masala, butter naan, and the rice pudding. We each had a Chai Masala and water to drink. The food was delivered to our table quickly, was hot and fresh, and portion sizes were generous. We will definitely be back!
Came here on a whim with my husband. We love Indian food so we were excited to see this place open up near our house. We came 12:30 on a Saturday and were the only ones in the entire restaurant. The food came out quickly and was delicious. The menu had traditional Indian food, burgers, and even some Mediterranean choices. I got Paneer Mahkani and my husband got a Chicken Tikka Cheesesteak. We also got samosa and of course naan. Very happy with the way everything tasted. Please come and check this place out because there seems to be little patronage, most likely because of the weird location in a residential area.
Best Indian Food I’ve ever had (but I’ve only had Indian food in Colorado). Super casual, family style atmosphere. Saag Chicken was OUTSTANDING. We also LOVED the Tandoori Chicken (we got it boneless) as well as the falafel and samosas! They were very accommodating of my partner’s nut allergy (well nothing came out with nuts at least). Will be back for sure!
This place is such a great “hole in the wall” Indian restaurant! The location and building seem very unassuming but don’t be fooled, the dishes are authentic and delicious. We had the chili chicken, curry chicken, and some other vegetarian dishes and they were all delicious. Portions are generous and service was fast and friendly. We’ll definitely be back!
Found this neighborhood gem as we were searching for a place for dinner not too far from our neighborhood. Was pleasantly surprised by the restaurant location near the Eastlake RTD station, as well as how the restaurant was set up in a house in a residential neighborhood. Great choice of menu items and prices are reasonable. Free parking lot in front of the restaurant. Recommended.
I had a small incident with the restaurant while ordering, they immediately corrected it and made it right. The food is so good and the portions are huge! It was enough butter chicken to share with my daughter and my husband
This is a gem of an Indian restaurant. I believe they opened recently and I've already been there twice. It's kid-friendly and located in a neighborhood near a light rail station vs. a strip mall like most other Indian restaurants, which makes finding parking easy. It's often places like this with unassuming, non-descript interiors that have the best food. So far, I've had the samosa chaat, chicken masala, chicken vindaloo, chicken jalfrezi, aloo gobi, butter naan, veggie samosa, and mango lassi. Each dish has been incredibly flavorful. If you haven't tried samosa chaat before, try it – it's a popular Indian street food and a great starter. They will ask you how spicy you want it, but just a heads up that their "hot" is pretty spicy compared to typical restaurants. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the portions are generous – I always leave with leftovers. The only thing missing is a bowl of mukhwas (candied fennel seeds) at the door to help digestion and freshen your breath, otherwise, it's perfect. Given their location, they may not get a lot of foot traffic so make sure to tell your friends - or even better take them there. Let's support small businesses.
