This is a very casual spot but the food was great for the price. I think the lunch buffet is up to $13.99 now which is more than their website suggested but still cheaper than some other places in the area. The dishes on offer were replaced frequently and I liked that they offered the naan bread along with the other dishes as buffet items. Some places will only let you have one naan bread so having the choice to have more was really nice. I'm already planning my next visit the butter chicken was delicious and their rice was also very tasty.
1st time I had the Lunch special Buffet , not a large selection but what was available was plentiful & tasty. The Chicken Masala excellent, rices very tasty, naan very good, tandoori chicken very good, veggie dishes very good , I'll definitely be back. Overall Very Good, service is excellent
My husband and I ate at Tilkka Lounge today in Poway. Our food was very nicely prepared, delicious and fresh. And customer service was excellent. If you like Indian cuisine as much as we do, we highly recommend Tikka Lounge
This place is the only Indian restaurant in Poway. It has everything and affordable. A variety of selection for vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Plenty of parking, indoor dining and tables outside. I got vegetable korma, tikka masala samosa, vegetable samosa, garlic naan and roti. Both samosas are fried and comes with mint and tamarind chutney. The vegetable one is stuffed with potatoes and come in 2 large pieces. The tikka masala samosa is layered in sauce and stuffed with vegetables and potatoes. It comes in about 6 small pieces. I got garlic naan and roti. Both are breads. Roti is unleavened and naan is leavened which means that it uses a raising agent where as roti is not so it’s flat. Both came out flat and tastes the same. The naan wasn’t puffy anymore and came out flat. Vegetable korma came with rice. It’s creamy and you could taste the nutty flavors. Had a bunch of vegetables, potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, and snap peas.
Fabulous food. Best Indian food I've ever eaten outside India. 5 star ambience, food, customer service(Muskaan was very polite, she made sure we had a great dining experience). Will definitely come back soon.
My friend Sylvia and I came here once before. The tea was outstanding. The curry chicken had perfect flavor. Not too spicy. The bread is fresh. The fish is wonderful. I would definitely return.
Had low expectations and was pleasantly surprised!! Helped me with order and making sure I understand what I was getting into. Had the Tikka burrito and it was finally what I had always dreamt of in an Indian burrito. Huge (cut in half into two portions), and worth getting messy for! Perfect amount of meat, rice and veggies!!! Nothing needed to be added and the naan was perfect. Will be back for more dishes.
