I really liked the Papdi Chaat appetizer we got--very strong flavor and crispy. The Karachi Keema Paratha (bread stuffed with spiced ground lamb) was also very flavorful and spicier than I expected. We also tried both the Rose Lassi and Mango Lassi. I think I still prefer the classic Mango Lassi but I'm glad I tried the Rose Lassi too. It was just a little too floral for me to drink regularly. The restaurant is dimly lit and perfect for a date night. Great spot for some decent Indian food, especially since there's not many in the area.

The Malabar chicken was calling my name because of the black pepper, and OMG it did not disappoint!!! It was SO tasty!! It's a dry chicken dish instead of the usual curry/gravy. Super flavorful, peppery, crispy, and not oily or heavy at all! It wasn't particularly spicy to me either, but layered with different aromatics, a complete flavor explosion! I was actually a little confused because I saw the Malabar chicken on Seamless but couldn't find it on ChowNow/Toast, so I wasn't even sure if it was available. I'm SO glad I got it and really hope they keep it on the menu because I would 100% order it again! I also tried the dal with green mango and the tamarind rice from the South Indian menu, and both were delicious. The tamarind rice especially has so many different flavors going on and is so good! If you like bold, layered Indian flavors and want to venture beyond the usual butter chicken-type dishes, TRY THE SOUTH INDIAN MENU!

Their lunch special chicken tikka masala is 10/10. The curry is so flavorful and the chicken is super tender -- definitely a must-order. It's also a great bang for your buck. Make sure to get the vegetable samosa too; I love dipping it in the green sauce they give you. One of my favorite things about this place is actually the side dishes. The pickled onions are sooo good, and I love their steamed vegetables. They also serve pea soup, though I personally don't really eat the soup. Three must-tries: 1. Chicken tikka masala 2. Vegetable samosa 3. Garlic naan Mango lassi is refreshing! I've eaten there multiple times and the service is great. Waiters are attentive and professional. Ambience is laid back, casual but at the same time can be a date spot too.

It honestly felt like the chef or recipe may have changed because the butter chicken tasted completely different from what we were used to. It used to be one of our favorites, but this time it was much sweeter than before and lacked the rich, balanced flavor we always loved. On top of that, there were barely any pieces of chicken in the butter chicken, which made it even more disappointing. That said, the chicken vindaloo was still delicious, and both the roti and naan were just as good as before. The staff has always been friendly, and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere. We're hoping this was just an off day because we've had many great meals here in the past and would love to see the butter chicken return to how it used to be.

Angel has been on my radar since it was a vegetarian restaurant without air conditioning, and Ive…read morewatched from afar as they transformed into a restaurant serving meat and veg dishes alike in updated, nicer digs that now definitely has air conditioning. They've won many accolades from various publications over the years for serving staple dishes, from chicken tikka masala to paneer tikka, and their popular dish, the chicken pb 35, all of which we ordered. I really enjoyed the pappadum that is served complimentary at the start of the meal. The chicken tikka masala and chicken pb 35 were beautifully plated, full of flavor, and paired deliciously with their basmati rice. I found the paneer tikka a little too plain and wished I had ordered something else. Our servers were on top of refilling our waters and the food came out pretty quickly even during weekday lunch rush. It's also modern and clean inside, with a casual interior. While I thought the food was pretty solid, we're fortunate to have a density of great Indian food across the boroughs, so I wouldn't necessarily say this is worth traveling out of your way for.

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.

Everyone loved the chicken tikka masala as the chicken was nice and tender with enough heat for flavor but not too spicy.

The price is amazing, the portion size is fantastic, and it was delicious! Recently, we tried the weekend buffet, which was amazing and totally worth it! It's $18 per person but the selection is really great, with both vegetarian and meat dishes offered, and two dessert selections. What I love is that some of their dishes have a kick to them and feel more authentic than other Indian restaurants I've eaten at with respect to the spiciness. While I'm not a fish lover, I loved their fish pakora! It is so flavorful and super easy to overeat. While I loved all of their buffet dishes, the fish pakora and chana masala were my absolute favorites with the butter chicken and paneer tikka masala tying for 2nd. The restaurant is very large and clean, and the servers are very kind and attentive. They were constantly refilling our water and checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall, this is a great spot for Indian food and a great Indian buffet spot. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the neighborhood.
