Absolutely delicious. This place is a must visit. We asked our server for recommendations as we were not familiar with many of the dishes- everything was outstanding. Highly recommend the momo’s, mango palak chaat, any of the naan’s, and do not sleep on the beetroot dessert. Friendly, attentive staff and excellent cocktails made for a truly excellent experience.

Reasonable prices for outstanding food and service. Everything we ordered had such beautifully complementary textures and complex, rich flavors. Beautiful dishes and modern but cozy atmosphere. Service was very quick and our waitress had great recommendations and comments about different menu items. Will definitely return!

Was in the neighborhood around happy hour time and stopped in. What a lovely place with great service and good food. I had the wings and the bison momo, chili style. It was excellent, if I wasn’t full, I would have definitely ordered another set of the momo. Also had a nice malbec. I can’t wait to go back!

During our visit to Washington DC we searched for Indian restaurant and found TIKKA. Fantastic dining experience. Food was absolutely amazing and so was the service. We ordered veg and Non veg both dishes and all of them were mouthwatering. Ambience also good. Highly recommended for Indian food lovers.

From the moment we walked in for dinner, the staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. It was clear that everyone — from the manager to the servers — works as a team, which made the atmosphere even better. The food was delicious, and we genuinely enjoyed the experience. I’ll absolutely be back, to try their lunch menu next time.

My husband and I are from out of town. We were looking for some comfort food, as it is 20 degrees outside. We’re big fans of Indian food. The service was quick and everyone was friendly. The drinks were good and the food was phenomenal. Atmosphere is cozy and well designed. If we ever come back to part of town, we will absolutely return. 10/10.

The food was okay, but it was a total rip-off. The rack of lamb was an absolute joke, 3 small cuts for $30…over-cooked. The pricing on the bill was also not consistent with the menu. The lamb ended up being $32 on the bill, we pointed out this discrepancy. It was an already overpriced dish, I wasnt going to pay another $2 on principle. The curry was also pretty mid for $24. The small plates were decently priced, so maybe just stick with that.

Our feelings are a bit mixed about this restaurant. On the plus side, the crab appetizer and the baby eggplant dish were fantastic and unique. The service was friendly and attentive. The ingredients in all the dishes seemed very fresh (we did have a long wait between appetizer and main meal, which we think meant one dish at least was freshly made as the restaurant was not too busy). On the less positive side, the lamb vindaloo was good but not superb, as was the bhindi, and the raita was bland. The cocktails, quite watery, were disappointing. We will come another day for the lunch thalis.

Saw the good reviews, came and got the lunch vegetarian thali. It was indeed abundant with a lot of food. The dal makhani was great. Atmosphere is very nice and service is excellent. A little bit less salt that I would like, but that’s a me problem because I love salt, for the average person I think it would be just right.

I must say, from the moment I stepped inside, I was warmly welcomed. The ambience and vibe is sophisticated yet welcoming.
Each dish was nothing short of a masterpiece and artful, and the flavors were vibrant and rich with special Indian spices.
What stood out most to me was the perfect balance in spice levels – just enough heat to capture the authentic Indian taste, but not overwhelming. It was the ideal level of spice that truly enhanced the dishes without overpowering them.
This restaurant has truly mastered combining elegance with authenticity, and I can’t wait to return for another incredible meal.
