Dined at the new Ikka restaurant in Huntington. With all the nice restaurants around here, it's about time a chic Indian restaurant opened in the area. The restaurant's decor feels contemporary blended with subtle Indian touches. We started with the Gol Gappe (Pani Puri). I'm a big fan of Pani Puri and thought these were really good. I also loved they presented this dish. It was served on a large tray, with many shot glasses of the tangy mint water and tamarind, and little dishes containing spiced potatoes and little crispy balls. For entree, I ordered the Old Delhi Butter Chicken which I thought was delicious. At first look, I didn't think that I would like the taste since I'm used to Butter Chicken having a thicker gravy. But the gravy was incredibly flavorful and the chicken had a great smoky taste. My wife ordered the Sikandari Lamb Chops. I thought it had a lot of flavor but a bit spicy. The Mango Lassi was refreshing and served in a cool clay glass. Our waiter, Vijay, provided exceptional service. He was friendly, patient, and attentive throughout our meal. We'll definitely return to Ikka! read more

IKKA - Halal Near Me - Huntington, New York

IKKA is such a great new addition to Huntington! The restaurant has a modern, elegant atmosphere that's perfect for a date night or dinner with friends, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. As a vegetarian, I loved how many creative options were on the menu. The Dosa Balls were one of the most unique dishes I've had--they had all the classic dosa flavors in a fun, bite-sized form and were an absolute must-order. read more

Went to Ikka for the first time with a group of 4 for a friends birthday. I think they were still working out the kinks of opening as the service was terrible. We ordered the dosa balls, chaat, paneer bao buns, chicken momos, chicken fried rice and chicken tikka masala, and two orders of butter naan. The chaat said id be served tableside but not sure what that was about as it was just dropped off. We waited 45 min for a soda water and glass of wine. We got two of our apps after an hour and fifteen minutes, another one after another 30 min of waiting, then the entrees came out, but we were still missing the naan and another app. Our waiter was MIA. I had to get up and go get my own refill of water twice. Very disorganized and many customers were upset and leaving because of the long wait for everything. The food was pretty good but the wait and service were awful. The wait wasn't mentioned by our server and he had added over 100 dollars of drinks that weren't ours onto the check. There was no mention of comping anything despite waiting over 2 hours for all our food. I'd try them again in a few months when they figure out the kinks but not impressed. read more

So, finally made it here, and boy am I glad that we came. We've been wanting to come here since it opened and never got around to it, but you know as they say...better late than never. We had a reservation for 3 at 8:30 pm on a Saturday. As soon as we walked in, Nitin greeted us and made us feel extremely welcomed and was very personable. Engaged in conversation and made sure to let us know our server would be right with us. I don't remember our servers name which is my fault but she was absolutely outstanding. So sweet, very attentive and absolutely amazing service throughout our dinner. As for the ambience? Great mix of a crowd, and you could tell everyone who came in here was enjoying themselves. We had a bunch of people at the bar as well as a bunch of people sitting down enjoying their dinner. They also had a dj playing some good music and a bunch of birthdays being celebrated. The dj did not take away from the dining experience at all, in face he enhanced it a bit. A nyc type of contemporary / cocktail bar right in Long Island is a nice thing to see. We started off with our drinks, which were pretty decent. I enjoy cocktails, but I'm more of a liquor on the rocks kinda guy. As for our apps we got the chicken tikka bao buns and bang bang shrimp. Both were outstanding, the chicken tikka bao buns set the tempo for what would come for the rest of the night. For our entrees we got the traditional chili chicken, Kerala Lobster Moilee, lamb shank Nihari and last but not least the British chicken tikka masala. Every single entree was spot on. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every large dish was accompanied by rice. We also ordered a garlic naan, which was crispy and full of flavor. This place is absolutely amazing. I've had Indian food all over the world and this is really up there. They have done an amazing job here and I hope they keep thriving. That being said, I will definitely be returning here over and over again. Outstanding meal. Oh and we had plenty of leftovers which we packed as well lol. Mind you the owner also gave us some complimentary shots as well which was awesome. Love what they're doing here. read more

Came here to celebrate my high school graduation, and oh boy, am I glad I chose to come here. The photos online looked great and I had high expectations for this place and they were met. Upon walking in, I was greeted by the employee working the front who swiftly brought us to our table, an amazing corner table. There was Indian music playing from the speakers, making me feel like I belonged. The lighting was amazing too, felt just calm enough. From there, we were given time to pick out our orders and the servers helped accommodate for my egg allergy. They took the orders, inquired about spice levels, and took our orders in. They only took 10-15 minutes to bring out our food, very grateful for that speed. Don't even get me started on what I got. I got the Punjabi pulled chicken bharta. This meal was so delicious and savory, especially because of the sauce that was put all over the chicken. Someone else at the table also got saffron anjeer malai kofta. That person thought there was a good balance of sweet and savory, that the saffron had a unique touch, and they were surprised there were figs in there, which they approved of. Another person got the Old Delhi Butter Chicken which I tried myself, and honestly, had a little similar taste to pizza, it was fantastic. Also, they served about three bowls of rice for the whole table, I'm so happy about that. This restaurant is a must try. It's relatively new and definitely worth giving a shot for the savory food! read more

Food was delicious. Service was slow. Took over 25 minutes to get a drink at the table. The servers were somewhat argumentative and not helpful with the enormous menu. At the bar the "mixologists" didn't know how to make the drinks in their own mixology menu. Mediocre ambiance for a weeknight. Definitely poor ambience for a Saturday night. read more

Walking into the restaurant on a Sunday evening I was impressed with the spacious and well decorated interior of this newest entrant to the high end Indian food scene on Long Island. The place has an inviting and chic atmosphere and the staff were happy to seat us immediately. Apparently this is a sister restaurant to Kesar in NJ. They have a very interesting cocktail menu based on dishes we know and love - will have to try more of those next time. Food was delicious - spot on for taste & quality. The waiter was very good on his suggestions. I think this is your best bet for Indian food in the area. read more

Upon visiting the recently opened restaurant IKKA in Huntington, I was initially enthusiastic after seeing numerous positive reviews on social media. However, I must express my disappointment with the dining experience. We had made a reservation for 7:15 PM, and we arrived promptly. Upon entering the restaurant, we encountered a multiple couple standing in front of the host, waiting for service. Despite our reservation, we were subjected to a one-hour wait. This situation became increasingly frustrating, leading me to consider leaving. However, my wife persuaded me to remain and wait a little longer. Finally, we were seated at 8:20 PM. Before we were seated, approximately 15 patrons had departed due to a lack of service. They reported waiting for an hour without receiving any food. My wife ordered butter chicken, while I opted for chicken tiki masala. Unfortunately, the chicken tiki masala was excessively greasy. My son ordered noodles, which were both spicy and greasy, despite the menu not explicitly stating their spiciness. I raised a complaint about the noodles, but the staff retrieved the plate without replacing the order. My primary concern was obtaining the bill and leaving the establishment as soon as possible. read more

I ate here with my family on Monday and the flavors of all the dishes were perfection! Seriously, some of the most elevated and sophisticated Indian food that I have ever tasted. Definitely try the Dosa Ball Croquettes and the Bang bang shrimp. We also had the best palak paneer and British chicken tikka masala. The Naan was also delicious! The staff was accommodating and kind. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and has a great ambiance. My only slightly constructive feedback is that the automatic 18% service charge on any bill is a little confusing when it comes to tipping. Most restaurants do not automatically add that preemptively. Also, we ordered the tikka masala medium hot and I thought it was barely that spicy. Other than that, what a great place to enjoy magnificent and flavorful food. read more

Was there with my daughter and husband today our experience was amazing! Service,Food, and Atmosphere was perfect! We are always seeking out Indian restaurants this was the BEST in a very long time!! So happy it in our back yard!!! read more

Went here for my birthday -- it was super disappointing. Any neighborhood Indian place has better seasoned food, spicier food, and much larger portions for literally half the cost. After spending way too much for what we got, the waiter (an older guy with a goatee -- watch out for him!!) also tricked us and asked us to leave a cash tip without telling us that tip was included on our bill already...so enjoy your 40% tip (nearly $100!), I suppose. Will not be coming back and I feel bad for anyone that dines here read more

I visited IKKA for the 1st time a week ago and had such a wonderful experience I came again the following week! I cannot recommend IKKA enough!! From the service, (tonight we had Prashant who was so attentive, kind and hospitable) to the food, to the atmosphere--I am so happy to have this DELICIOUS Indian restaurant addition to Suffolk County, Long Island. We went to celebrate our parents anniversary and our server Prashant & the IKKA team made my parents feel so special! This is food worth traveling for!! My favorite items so far: Guntur chili cauliflower Bang bang shrimp Bombay mutton kheema pav Lamb Chops British Chicken Tikka Masala Chicken Biryani Garlic Naan read more

New spot in Huntington. Drinks are very good and the food is excellent. All have great taste. Set your level of spice. Service is also very good. On downside, weird that they add 18% tip for you when you're just two people. Also, music is way too loud. A few tables asked to relocate and others to lower. read more

Over price not quality food it does not meet my standard I don't mind paying give me the taste of 5 star

Just noticed this spot, didn't even realize it was Indian! So I stopped by tonight to do take out. Had the samosa chaat, garlic naan, the lamb chops and the butter chicken. I'm very impressed! All had a decent amount of spice/flavoring that made them very enjoyable. Can't wait to go back in person! read more

Wow, what a great restaurant experience. Food was incredibly tasty with many vegetarian options. Butter chicken was amazing and the highlight may have been the highlight. Wait staff was very attentive. We will be back soon! read more

It was a very rainy Monday night, I called ahead and asked if we needed reservations, I was told no, so we went. 5 of us for my daughter's birthday. When we arrived the restaurant was less than 1/2 full. Plenty of tables everywhere. We were asked if we had reservations when I said no they said they could NOT seat us. I explained that I had called earlier and was told we didn't need them. Then he told us "well we are out of most of the food" I never heard that one!!! Ha!! We took our business across the street and had a wonderful $500 dinner elsewhere. Be warned, unbelievably rude!! read more

Order the lamb chops and chicken lollipops to go as I wanted to test out the new spot. Both dishes were amazing! If you're looking for traditional Indian food this is your spot. They even gave us a spicy sauce and raita which weee both delicious. I will be coming back to dine in with my friends to try the goat chops and all of the other meat dishes. Well done guys, finally a Desi spot in the area. read more
