O “Mr. Review You” Cally
When I say hands down the worst Indian food I’ve probably ever had I’m serious. I’ve been played by using Uber Eats for this trash. Old stale Naan and the chicken had old parts, burnt parts and not cooked throughout parts out of the 6 pieces. I tried to taste the food cause looks can be deceiving but after vomiting twice that’s it. And I included receipts just in case they say it’s made up for slander. Food came stale and old Today 10/08/2025 and I reported it quick

This place is the best Indian restaurant in all of Tampa, maybe even the whole county. The chilli paneer is crunchy and spicy, the naan is crispy every bite fresh. The chicken tikka masala is the most popular here and it’s delicious, well spiced and cooked great. I talked to the owner and they’ve recently changed the chef and this knows how to cook. The service is good, the waiter Aiden is the best and always takes care of my family and I with a smile. The atmosphere is nice and clean and I’m always welcomed back with a smile. They have all kinds of delicious dosas and so many great menu items to choose from. There’s plenty of parking space so it’s easy to walk in. I highly recommend everyone to come try this authentic Indian food. Thank you Tikka Masala for taking care of my family and I

I wouldn’t listen to the negative reviews, this is a great little Indian spot in Tampa. The onion bhaji and chili shrimp were fantastic, and the biryani meat was extremely tender. If you ask for spicy, they’ll make it spicy!
However, we were the only people in the restaurant and our food took some time, but it wasn’t a big concern. Good restaurant, highly recommend.

This is one of the worst restaurants. Took one hour for just few things. And this is absolutely disgusting. It’s not even crunchy , too much oily, no taste whatsoever. I get it Indian food Americanize a lot here for white people but who even eat this. Do better. Not to mention way to overprice. I advise to skip this restaurant please just do not go if you are Indian or American.
P.s to American people : I get it you people do not know what is Indian food taste like but this is not how Indian food taste.

I ordered a delivery from DoorDash and found hair in the biryani. Absolutely unacceptable. This is by far the worst place to order food from. The hygiene standards are clearly nonexistent. I wouldn’t eat this even if it were the last option on earth.

We went late Saturday night and were pleasantly surprised to see the place open until 1 a.m.—which is awesome since most restaurants in Tampa close so early.
Our server was fantastic—super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.
The food was delicious and felt really authentic. We had the chicken biryani (my favorite!), the chicken chettinad (so good and spicy), the chicken tandoori (not our favorite), garlic butter naan (a must-have), and the mango yogurt.
We loved the flavors—everything tasted fresh, and the rice was on point. We’ll definitely be coming back.
Good portions and prices.
The atmosphere could use a little work—it’s a nice space, but there are some things that could be improved. Still, it was a comfy spot to enjoy a great meal.

Tikka Masalaa in Tampa is an absolute gem for anyone craving authentic Punjabi flavors. From the moment of arrival, the warm hospitality sets the tone for an exceptional dining experience. The reception staff is incredibly welcoming and helpful, guiding through the menu with genuine enthusiasm and knowledge.
The food is nothing short of spectacular. Each dish bursts with rich, aromatic spices and the unmistakable taste of traditional Punjabi cooking. The curries are perfectly balanced—creamy, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. The naan is soft and buttery, pairing beautifully with every bite. Every plate feels freshly prepared, with ingredients that taste natural and wholesome.
The experience was so memorable that ordering again through Uber Eats was a must—and the quality remained just as impressive. The flavors traveled perfectly, retaining that same authentic richness and freshness that made the dine-in experience unforgettable.
Tikka Masalaa stands out as a true celebration of Punjabi cuisine in Tampa. Whether dining in or ordering out, it delivers a mouthwatering experience that keeps calling back for more.

I was bored at home and came here for a late night meal at 1130pm/12am and was SO impressed. The waitress was amazing, food was so fresh hot and large portions. I over ordered for myself and have a ton to last me the next day or more. Very clean and spacious. I highly reccomend.
