Lovely lunch in my own to celebrate a personal health WIN! Indian food and wonderful and thoughtful, articulate service. The dessert choice I left up to my server and he did not disappoint. A lovely combination of in-house made saffron ice cream, with these beautiful dough balls that were so rich, and which mopped up the sweetness of the rose syrup. He pointed out, but the rose petals on my plate were grown by one of the family members, and his own garden right here in Chandler. It’s these thoughtful choices that make a locally owned restaurant worth returning to, time and time again. Next time I’ll be sure to bring my husband and my friends, maybe my nieces and nephews, one who attends a gifted program, who has many Indian friends. I believe our community is made even better, and we have more variety and food and people and choices to make. I love how this area has grown, to offer more and more choices. Most people here will not recall all the Japanese gardens, and what first brought them to the valley, but I do. Old Arizona is still intact, and thoughtfulness exists throughout the valley, if you don’t believe that, then come here to this restaurant and enjoy thoughtful service, pretty music, and a beautiful selection at the bar, because if that’s what makes you happy, to slow down and enjoy something that makes you think about reverence and goodwill… This might be your new place.

First time here and we loved it! Service was excellent. Food and drinks were amazing. Highly recommend you go! Great date night spot and daily happy hour! The server brought me a complimentary mango drink to cool my mouth off. Very thoughtful!

Tried all the suggestions and wasn’t disappointed! Never really had Indian cuisine before and they were very helpful at picking out delicious dishes and everything was very flavorful, curry we did mild spice and me a “no spicey” person really enjoyed it! The garlic cheese naan is an absolute must! The cauliflower and chicken 64 app is a must. The garlic chicken tikka with the side sauces is amazing! Service was also impeccable, very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable.

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. The butter chicken is the best I’ve had in Arizona, and so is the garlic cheese naan. Nick, our server, was attentive, kind, and helpful. I accidentally left my credit card on the table, and he ran out to the parking lot to give it to me. Great restaurant and great service.

We’ve been coming to Tap N Tikka for about two years now, and honestly, it never disappoints. There’s always a wait — which just tells you how good the food is — but it’s absolutely worth it every single time.
We’ve tried so many Indian restaurants in the area, and this one remains our top favorite! Everything is consistently delicious.
Huge thank you to Nick for taking great care of us today! Highly recommend!

As a Punjabi, I can honestly say Tap n Tikka is the best Indian food in Arizona. The flavors are spot-on and feel truly authentic.
A few must-orders:
• Amritsari Kulcha for the table — absolutely perfect.
• Tandoori Platter — great mix, super flavorful.
• Lamb Bhuna — rich, tender, and delicious.
And the dessert? The Gulab Jamun with homemade ice cream was next-level. So good.
The place isn’t fancy, but that’s part of the charm — it’s just real, comforting, authentic food. A great spot to bring the family and enjoy a solid meal.

You can smell the aromatics in the air as soon as you walk in! From the Chicken 65 to the goat curry, everything was delicious. Nick was an incredible server and even brought my leftovers out to my car that I forgot before I drove off! Highly recommended!

Fantastic service with Alan, the food was delicious and he was able to help us pick out the naan from a large list, although any naan is good naan. High recommend the paneer saag and butter chicken, yum!

I can’t rave enough about our dinner at Tikka+Tap in Gilbert! My sister took me here, and it ended up being one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was welcoming and stylish, a perfect blend of modern and cozy.
But what really made our night unforgettable was our server, Nick. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and gave the best recommendations. You can tell he genuinely cares about the guests having a great experience.
Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor; the spices were bold but balanced, and everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The craft beer and wine selection were just as impressive (highly recommend trying one of their signature drinks!).
If you’re in Gilbert and love Indian food with a modern twist, or even if you’re just curious, you need to check this place out. We’ll definitely be coming back (and asking for Nick!).

The hunt for best Indian food in the valley is on! Today was Tap N Tikka. Appropriately named – equal parts bar and food. If this is your draw, it is a perfect fit. We went only for the food. Single person-sized portions. Count on one dish per seat with little to no sharing. One personal plate of rice per dish.
Tried four dishes and several breads. Chicken was very tender and flavorful. Paneer was fresh, had great texture and flavor. Nothing stood out. Gravy recipes were exactly what you would expect, consistent and stable.
