Amazing experience at Authentikka! The entrance itself sets a nice vibe -- there's a beautiful Ganesh murti and a calm, welcoming feel as soon as you walk in. The whole place has a classy ambience, perfect lighting, and a great decor. There's even a bar area if you want to grab a drink, which adds to the overall setup. They also have a big banquet hall inside -- it's really spacious with elegant chandeliers. Looks like the perfect spot for parties or functions. Very impressive. Now the food -- honestly, everything we tried was spot on. We had Methi Malai Mutter Paneer and Veg Kadai, both were amazing in flavor and cooked perfectly. The Gobi Manchurian was crispy, flavorful, and had that authentic Indo-Chinese kick. The Manchow Soup was nice too. And the sweets -- I have no words! The Gajar Halwa and Gulab Jamun were just amazing. Soft, fresh, and absolutely worth trying. Service was friendly and quick. Overall, a really good experience. Great food, great atmosphere, and a place I'd definitely recommend for both dining and special occasions. read more

Not sure if I should place this review under the canton or Troy location but I've tried catered food from here from both the locations. The chicken 65/ chilli chicken is good (not pictured). The Malabar biryanis is the real star. I took seconds with the Raita and Andra style pickle. And the Mango pudding dessert. The only thing is butter chicken could be better - not as good as aahar. read more

"It was fine" That was the general consensus of the meal tonight, our 1st time here. The vibe was incredibly confusing, when you walk in there are chandeliers (huge ones) hanging from the ceiling there is even a banquet hall for events , but they were blasting Usher and Eminem music (the real versions with swear words, not radio edits). We ordered a few items on the menu that came out hot and fresh, but overall the flavor seemed generic. We got butter masala, samosa chat and chicken 65. The women's restroom was filthy and in need of attention. read more

They serve a generous portion of goat in my roasted goat dish which is delicious, I recommend that to anyone new to Indian food...the butter naan is delicious, and the mango lassi is a bit on the watery side but it's always a winner for me....they have a reward points program where you get free stuff which I can appreciate after spending so much money at an establishment read more

Excellent service (they were always filling up our water) and were very attentive. We started our meal off with a samosa appetizer which was delicious! It is spicy and came with 2 sauces. I really enjoyed it and would recommend to everyone (as long as you're okay with some spice). I ordered a Chicken Kadai Hot, and yes, it was super spicy! I think I would order Medium next time but I'm so glad the spice level was there (sometimes you never know what you'll get). I thought the chicken was not too dry and liked the veggies in this dish. My go to is the Chicken Vindaloo so I will have to try that next time. My friend ordered a Veggie Tikka Masala Medium, which she said was a little sweet but overall good. The restaurant is large and has several booths (I'm too short for the booths to be comfy as my back doesn't reach the back cushion if my feet are on the ground, but I always appreciate a booth since the rest of my family is tall. They also have a Dosa Buffet on Thursday which sounds amazing and a weekend buffet. There is plenty of parking since it's located at the back corner of a busy area. I can't wait to return! read more

A beautiful authentic family owned business. The food and ambiance is very cultural. I would highly recommend bringing your family to taste the experience. read more

This is my second visit. I had the Hot and Sour Soup, Chicken 65, and the Chicken Hakka Noodles. The soup was okay, but was only about the size of a dipping cup. IMO, if it is that small, maybe it should not be served. IMO, it was not worth $4.99. I would not order the soup again. The chicken was good, but could have been seasoned with more spice. That was also true for the noodles. The noodles could have benefitted from more garam masala/spices. However, the chicken and noodles worked well together. The server told me that is how they eat it in Hyderabad. I would not solely order the noodles. The restaurant is very clean, the dining room is beautiful, and the food presentation is well executed. I would visit again. Next time, I would like to try some other dishes. I knocked them down one star for the soup and the value buy for my meal. read more

The food was amazing, especially the non-nice and fresh as well. The fruit was amazing, clean and fresh and healthy. And they also have hot and ready. Corn soup. Asdale was there biryani fresh and tasty and deathly parrot with their yogurt Which was spectacular. Their ambience is also amazing with nice lights and songs to listen as well. A football game running in the background they even have a reservation spot for special places like weddings and more on. Definitely recommend this place a 10 out of 10. read more

Used to be good. Today my order was wrong twice and the quality was not great. Mixed up the spiciness levels and the curry in general seemed different. Less vegetables and flavor. read more

my favorite go-to indian restaurant. seriously every time i try a new place i'm disappointed because this place just does everything so perfectly. the food always tastes fresh, they're so accommodating, a cozy atmosphere, and they consistently deliver a great experience- in a very timely manner as well. i highly recommend the bagara baingan, any of their breads, their basmati rice is exceptional, and their tikka masalas. they've already grown so much since i first found them, and it's been amazing to see. i hope they keep up the quality and that more people discover and enjoy their service :) read more

The food, service and ambiance were all excellent. Lots of choices and good recommendations from the staff. Everything was prepared well, arrived quickly with a nice presentation. Recommended. read more

A friend, from India, told me about this place having more authentic Indian cuisine than what I was used to enjoying, but in her opinion was subpar. Well, I was delighted by everything I ate: the flavors and the heat level was spot on for me. My server, Ketan S, was very personable and knowledgeable answering my questions about entree's I was considering. I must have samosas! So he suggested Samosa Chat- which is samosas that are smashed and cooked further, presented in a bowl with I believe tamarind sauce on the sides of the bowl. Wonderful tastes, I chose medium spice and it was nice to eat with a spoon to mix tastes. I wanted a Chickoo shake but they were out, so sad been craving a Chickoo lassi ( from another place) but the mango Lassi was good. My boneless Chicken Chettinad medium spicy was fantastic! The black pepper in the sauce/ gravy gave it a nice kick and the chicken was so tender. And no fatty pieces which is a big turnoff for me. An order of Bullet Naan completed my order, 1st time trying and I loved it! Ketan informed me several times that it was "very spicy because of the green chiles in the dough," but my gut was telling me to go for it. I'm glad I listened because I thoroughly enjoyed it, even dipping it in the Chettinad gravy! The more I enjoyed these 2 items the spicier my mouth felt & that's how I rate a meal as very good & it also lingers on 20-30 minutes. They have a pretty big bar and very big buffet set up (not at the time I was in). Decor was very nice with modern light fixtures over buffet and 2 large chandeliers. I definitely recommend and will be back very soon! read more

After far too long of putting it off, I got to explore true Indian food tonight. Unsure of exactly where to go and what to order, I ended up here at Authentikka after a suggestion from a food friend. She had been right before with suggestions, and she was again. This place was great! Such a treat. Prior to our arrival, I had been studying the menu for a bit. It's nice sized with good descriptions and not too many options where you feel overwhelmed. I had settled in on the Spinach Cashew Pakora for an appetizer and was glad I had done so. The pakora was perfectly crisp and so tasty!! The two sauces given to dip them in ( tamarind and mint) brought out even more flavors and aromatics. My wife and I ordered the Mango Lassi to drink, figuring the smoothie like drink would help with the spice later on, which it does. For the entree, we shared the House Platter and Palak Paneer. This came with 4 pieces of naan of our choice, which was plenty and delicious. The platter was a great way to sample some of the various meats they had to offer, cooked in different ways. We both loved the shrimp the most and want to try a seafood dish next time. I would recommend this dish to others like us, who are trying Idian cuisine for the first time. Great variety and tasty. The Palak Paneer was so flavorful, spicy, and so aromatic. The heat we ordered was a medium, and we got exactly that. It's not too hot where it burned but not too weak either. I appreciate that so much. Neither of us had paneer before tonight and had no idea if we would like it. We did!! I really liked this dish. Will get it again. We managed to save room for desert somehow and asked our server for a suggestion. He suggested we have the Gulab Jamun to finish off the evening, so we did. They were these sweet little balls of delicious dough in a sweet syrup like sauce with almond shavings. Remined us of pancakes and doughnuts all in one. It's really tasty. Oh, I must point out that our sever Jeeto was awesome throughout the evening as he helped us pick out items and explained the sauces. The other servers were helpful and friendly as well when they brought out the dishes. Fantastic service overall. Definitely recommend. Definitely will be back to try other dishes. read more

Came here to eat after shopping at Ikea. Authentikka is conveniently located in the same plaza and we were craving Indian food- so it worked out perfectly. We ordered the mango lassi, samosa, chicken vindaloo, chicken briyani, and butter naan. Everything tasted great. The chicken inside the briyani was tough; though the chicken vindaloo was very tender. My husband also asked for the hottest spice level for the vindaloo, but he did not find it spicy at all. I was debating between the briyani and butter chicken and I wish I had ordered the butter chicken instead. Naan was also a little burnt and we wished it was a little softer- not crispy. read more

I use to love their biriyani.. they started with a flame but Going down into ashes. Quality and taste going down every order. Was a huge fan of the Veg biriyani, i thought finally we have a good option in canton, but my previous 3 or 4 takeout's have been going down hill, the biriyani has been much less than perfect, either dry, Old veggies, flavorless. The curries i like here are chettinad, which not the cream based but tomato onion base, so far it has been always good. :) Mirchi ka salan is generally good, but super spicy, even if you order mild. Definitely give the Malabar paratha a try. the gluten crave! The Naan and Parathas are really good, even for a take out they stayed soft. (most other places tend to toughen up becomes hard) they have a good online ordering system, but they seem to have a huge hall for party's and such, damn pandemic, they cant serve. read more

Only 1 other table seated. You have to ask for something to be told it's not available: I ordered an old fashion. Waiter returned to tell me it wasn't available because of covid but they have beer & wine. I asked what beer and wine & he said ask and he'll tell. Mom ordered a nonalcoholic beverage and was then told that of the 5 on the menu only ONE was available. The waiter explained some if the meals that weren't completely clear on the menu. Basmati rice bowl was refilled on request at no extra charge. Wait time for food was normal. read more

Great buffet!! Good service !! We had a lunch buffet on Sunday. Lot of options for veg and non-veggie.

Delicious option for Indian food! I was craving chicken tikka masala so badly and this hit the spot. The pakora and chicken makhani were good too. And of course had to get some garlic naan! Service was friendly but the only issue was that when we called to place the order we were quoted 45 mins. We got there around 55 mins later (had to stop for boba!) and still ended up waiting around 25 mins for our food. Still worth it though! read more

Authentikka - Indian Near Me - Canton, Michigan

Best authentic Indian restaurant I've tasted yet in Michigan. If you have not tried them yet,you are missing out. Hearty, robust flavors with many options from veg and non veg. The recipes would take you forever to try to whip up in your own kitchen(I personally can't)! I ordered the lamb which was so tender, my wife had the chicken kabob (of course I tasted it) and it was well seasoned with the right amount of spices and had a creaminess from a well marinated meat. None of the dishes are overpowering , and each flavor seemed to compliment the next in a symphonic tastebud orchestra. The ambiance is grand but you feel welcomed by your host almost in a small member of a large family kind of feel. Definitely will be back. Be sure to get subtly delicious mango lassi! read more

One of the worse Indian restaurants ever eaten at. Small portions, high prices and just ok food. Take a look $43 for this no way , the Soup $4.99 for a portion smaller than a coffee cup . Was excited to try Manchow Soup until I seen the tea cup for 5 bucks Omg . Found menu online so want those Chicken Lollipops so for $13 you get 7 small drums , actually half of a wing. I make these at home using full size Chicken Leg's. Shameful waste of money, zero flavor, menu description says comes with dipping sauce. Waitress tells me No why printed on menu see photo. She did bring me some mint sauce. She had Butter Chicken was just ok smaller portion. Ordered the assorted Naan Basket again was just ok, really couldn't tell the different flavors again see photo. A 2 star experience not recommended, will never go back again. @miauthentikka #miauthentikka #butterchicken #chickenlollipop #naan #manchowsoup #smallportions #indianfood #downriverfriendseat read more

We used Authentikka to cater our wedding breakfast, lunch and dinner. Bharath went above and beyond helping us curate a menu, allowed for multiple tastings and delivered the most delicious foods. His food displays were also very nice looking! All of our guests were raving about how great everything was! If you're debating on which catering service to use, you won't go wrong in choosing Bharath and Authentikka! They were amazing! read more

This place was an absolute pleasant discovery. The food was perfect. The ambience was typical, but our waiter offered very attentive service. On the weekends, they actually offer a buffet which will allow the sampling of multiple dishes. However, the Tika that I ordered was cooked to perfection. I absolutely recommend this place to anybody that's looking for authentic and well executed cuisine. read more

Ordered a group lunch for takeout and personally had the butter chicken and garlic naan. Food quality and taste were very good. I had to specifically ask for utensils when I picked up the order. The rice for all of the dishes was combined in one large takeout container making it difficult for each of us to divide and eat individual portions. read more

Wow, just wow. Stopped in by chance on a Wednesday night and was blown away. Ordered the Baby Corn Salt & Pepper which was awesome.

Can't remember the name. It was all amazing. Perfection in preparation, taste and presentation. Service was top notch read more

On a whim I decided to give this place a try and I must say I'm impressed. I'm a huge fan of ethnic food and restaurants and authenticity is important to me so if I'm going to find an Indian restaurant to eat at I look to see if the local Indian population is dining in there. In this case that was exactly what I found. I only sampled the chicken tikka masala as I have never had it before and wanted to try it. I'm a huge curry fan and this did not disappoint it was creamy and delicious. The price for the portion was not bad and the quality was most definitely there! Over all I cant help but give this place a good review I cant wait to go in again and try something else. read more

My husband and I ordered take out via Door Dash only to receive one of the two entrees that we paid for. We were craving authentic Indian food and was swayed by the complimentary Yelp reviews. We ordered Lamb Jalfrezi and Lamb Chettinad with two orders of butter naan. The Lamb Chettinad never found its way to us. We paid DD for both entrees and the bread but the restaurant's ticket that was stapled to the bag did not list the missing entree. Apparently there was a breakdown between Authentikka and Door Dash. DD credited us the cost of the missing entree but we'd rathered of had the food. We have never experienced a screw up with a food order from Door Dash, guess there is a first time for everything. The Lamb Jalfrezi was delicious however the meat was poorly trimmed. It had fat and the bones were left in the entree which was annoying and dangerous to eat around. I understand that cooking food on the bone gives it more flavor but for $14 I do not want to be on the look out for bones or have to pick out fat and gristle. The sauce was delicious but after fishing out fat and bones it was not worth $14. We felt ripped off. I may try Authentikka again but not a lamb dish in order to steer clear from the bones. read more

And here we have one of the absolute WINNERS of my recent food explorations. We like this place so much, we may or may not have visited three times in one week. True story. Indian food is one of my all-time favorites. When it is done well, it can be an incredible feast of flavors - and Authentikka fits that bill. The restaurant is a little tucked away in a stripmall, you'd have to know it is here to find it.. or read about it online. If you have a large family or need space for an event, this restaurant has your back. It is quite spacious and has an event space right next door. Of course, my family and friends don't share my obsession with Indian food, so we will just be coming for dinner together. A meal starts with a complimentary basket of fryums which is a fun and munchy snack, and the service here is friendly and prompt. Food wise, we have ordered several things so far and all of them range from great to fantastic; there is not a single thing we've tried that we'd regard as "meh" or worse. Samosa's are always a good idea, so is an order of veg pakora. But, our favorite app is the gobi manchurian; spicy sweet complex crispy cauliflower bites - so addicting. My favorite dish thus far I think is the onion rava masala dosa - the addition of caramelized onion catapults this dosa to another level; it's delicious! Chicken tikka masala is a good standby, but the spicy kadai won my heart. Another really solid dish here is the special (ie. boneless) chicken biryani. The rice is so flavorful, I bet they either cook it in a broth or ladle broth over the rice prior to serving. It isn't plain rice like at some other places. Bread wise, the garlic naan or bullet naan - made with chili's - are tasty. So is the mango lassi drink. If you don't eat Indian food on the regular, or haven't tried it before, Authentikka is a really solid place for a great first impression. If you do eat this cuisine on a regular basis, I am confident that Authentikka will become a new favorite! read more

I enjoy the food here and am a frequent customer. Goat biryani and butter chicken masala are favorites.

Nice restaurant with banquet hall facility. Tried lunch buffet and it was really good. A lot varieties hope due to special buffet on day after thanks giving. Spacious restaurant and usually in most Indian restaurants tables will too close and will be difficult while go to get food and here it was not the case. Nice service. Waiters clearing the empty plates and refilling water when needed. Few options in buffet I liked very muchare Garbanzo cutlet, goat curry and chicken biryani. Things that can be better are simple dishes like tamarind rice and rasam. But I am giving 5 stars and will be back again read more
