I also appreciate that the music isn't too loud, so we could actually talk and hear each other while dining. Everything feels clean, polished, and inviting. The staff were incredibly cordial and attentive. They had the initiative to check on us from time to time and refill our water without us having to ask. I also love how generous they are with the sides! My favorite dish here is definitely the Galbi. Every bite took me back to Japan. I know this is Korean cuisine, but the Galbi reminded me so much of the one I've had in Japan, which is probably why I enjoyed it even more. We ordered the group meal with Bimbimao, and we also really loved the chicken wings. I just wish the wings were a little bigger and that the serving was more generous! We also tried their rice wine and Kuku cocktails, and both were delicious. They definitely don't skimp on the drinks! I'll definitely keep coming back. This was already my fourth time bringing a group of friends and family here, and I can see myself doing it again. At this point, I'm hoping they'll consider having a loyalty or discount card for regular customers like me!

I am used to the location in Long Island and i am obsessed with the kimchi, and the kimchi here is also just as good! The service was super good, our water cups were NEVER empty!! They were speedy and there was always somebody ready to help which i appreciate. They refilled the kimchi and the other side dishes too which i loved- because the side dishes were all so good! We thought the pork galbi was not that good though. They didn't have the usual char to it and they didn't give much fat/lean pieces, just purely lean pieces, so it was a bit dry. But the soondubu and mackerel were amazing! It was perfectly tender and crispy, with the right amount of fat. Paired perfectly with the kimchi. We had a great time and will definitely be back.

    It's been years since we ate here but I'm glad we did. Drinks were good. I wasn't a fan of the beef…read moreempanadas but my husband liked them. Fried plantains were so yummy I could've just had that for a meal, but I had to save room for our dinner. We ordered spinach and cooked vegetables because of our fear of getting sick from raw veggies. The seafood paella was okay. It only had one scallop which was disappointing since that's my favorite seafood. We had plenty left over so we packed it for another meal. Our server was a little rough around the edges but he got nicer as the meal progressed. The place was empty when we arrived hut started to fill up. Noise level never got too loud.

You come in a stranger, leave as family! Sample Boccadillo Platter good choice to start. Gets your belly ready to experience more delectable delights. Tostones are meant to me Shared. Large, pressed, disk-shaped. Comes with flavored Ajo in Pimenton sauce. Fried Shrimp dish is crunchy, succulent and colossal. Chicharrones de Pollo was plenty for two to share. The Arroz Amarillo and Frijoles Negro are stars on their own! Paella Mariana could use a little more love, as it needed more seasoning. The clams were a tad tough. Looked for the soccarat but none. Can't beat the regular or golden Sangrias. Overall, our family's been coming for 20+ years and we'll ALWAYS choose Cabana!

Fortunately, the food was delicious and service was impeccable. We ordered 4 entrées to share and enjoyed everything. My favorite was the Half-Baked Chicken. The skin was so crispy and the chicken so tender. The Braised Short Rib was also really good and the crispy Brussels sprouts that come with it were the perfect amount of crispy. The other dishes we ordered were good too. We finished everything down to the last grain of rice.

The floral displays are fun and are probably the highlight of the visit. The space is clearly designed for photos, and I can see why it would be popular for birthdays, showers, or other special occasions. They seem to go the extra mile when it comes to creating a celebratory atmosphere. Service was excellent from start to finish. The staff at reception and at the table were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Food-wise, we tried the Kung Pao calamari and wagyu meatballs after seeing other reviewers rave about them, but both felt a little gimmicky to me. Our group mostly stuck with more traditional brunch items, including breakfast burritos and omelettes, and those were fine. Overall, I would not necessarily come here just for the food, but I would recommend it for the atmosphere, service, and special-occasion vibe. It is a great spot if you want a pretty setting, good hospitality, and plenty of photo-friendly areas.

    The Food The cooking…read morehere is the real thing -- not the flattened, one-note version of Indian food that so many places settle for, where everything arrives tasting vaguely of the same sauce. At Tikka n' Talk, the spicing has genuine architecture. Each dish has its own personality, its own balance, its own arc from first bite to last. You taste individual spices rather than a generic wall of heat, and there's a depth underneath that only comes from someone who actually knows what they're doing. The tikka is outstanding and lives up to the name -- properly charred at the edges, smoky from real high-heat cooking, and still tender inside. That combination is harder to pull off than it looks, and getting it right every time takes skill. The curries have body and complexity. Sauces that have clearly been built rather than assembled, with layers that reveal themselves as you eat. Nothing is greasy, nothing is heavy in the bad way, and nothing tastes like it came out of a can. The bread deserves its own mention. Fresh, blistered, warm -- the kind you keep tearing off pieces of long after you're full. The Room and the Service The name isn't accidental. This is a place designed for lingering, and the atmosphere delivers on it. Warm, comfortable, and genuinely welcoming without being fussy. It's the kind of room where conversation flows easily, where you settle in without noticing an hour has passed. The staff are a huge part of that. Warm, attentive without hovering, and clearly happy you came. They know the menu cold and will steer you well if you ask -- including on spice levels, which they'll actually calibrate to what you want rather than defaulting to whatever's easiest. That kind of care shows up everywhere in the experience. Food comes out hot, timed well, and exactly as ordered. Basic things, but plenty of places fail at them. The Bottom Line Tikka n' Talk is the rare restaurant that's excellent on every axis at once -- the cooking is skilled, the room is inviting, and the people running it obviously care. It's become a regular for us, and I recommend it without hesitation to anyone who asks where to eat. If you haven't been, go. Order more than you think you need. Stay a while -- the name is an instruction, and it's good advice. Highest possible recommendation.
