The only thing I'm mad about is the fact that I didn't have enough room for the food! This place was welcoming and the food was delicious. We got the rosemary garlic naan (two baskets) and the Chicken Tikka Masala. Worth the 2 hr drive.

Discovered this restaurant by accident and boy it didn't disappoint. Wife and I loved everything from the Spicy Tandoori Wings, Rosemary Garlic Naan, to Curry Goat and Chicken Masla Basmati Rice. Everything was nicely spiced and packed full of flavor. Our waitress was very nice and always on top on things. We'll definitely be back and thank you!

Loved the garlic bread and Butter Chicken! The other one was Mango coconut curry, it was good but sweet to my taste, I was expecting some spicy curry with a bit of sweetness! Also very kind and welcoming staff :)

Food was so delicious love the mix of Thai and Indian. They adjust to all spice levels. The noodles with chicken was amazing. It was also Halal. They could have given more mango lassi though

Very nice pllace and delicious food.2 years ago I used to go to Tandoori Nights restaurants it was same quality as Tikka Masala but the buffet was for 10 not 20. I don't think that we have 100% Inflation!!! But I recommend it.

Based on the reviews here, we tried out Tikka Masala for lunch today. It was excellent. We chose to order from the menu, rather than the buffet. But it is hard to resist because as you walk in the smells from the buffet are amazing. We ordered an appetizer, 2 mains, and bread. We ate entirely vegan. The menu clearly marked gf and vegan options. The staff were lovely. We will be back!
