Came here to meet a friend tonight and we both thought the other person decided on this place, but since we already sat down and it was quiet and calm inside, we decided to stay. The food was pretty good here, however, I was severely annoyed with the waitress who wasn't really trying to service her customers but wanted to argue for most of the experience here so hence the two stars. Read on to see why I gave a lower rating than I normally would. Since this place is called Tap N Tikka, they had a nice selection of draft beers and I was impressed with their menu, which was on a digital board. The waitress tried to sell me on an Indian brewed beer (for example, Taj) and I just wasnt in the mood for one. Ive been to India several times and have had some of their beers in country. I asked for the Roses by the Stairs Czech Pale Ale and she didnt know if they had it. So I then said, if you dont have Roses by the Stairs, I'll take a Schoner Tag, which is a wheat style Hefeweizen. She then brought me the Schoner Tag, which was a very good beer. Next, we told her we weren't too hungry and mainly wanted to snack on some items and this is where she was being quite annoying. I mentioned the chaat on their menu and thought maybe these would be small bites as these are considered roadside snacks in India, but then she had to tell me oh no they are big portions, so I am like ok... I then saw kati rolls on the menu and thought we could get these and she says oh they are like big burritos, so then I said, well we could cut them in half and share it, but she seemed to think oh they are too big. OK, so after discussing the appetizer menu and couldnt seem to land on much, we now move onto entrees. She then suggests we share a dish, which we were both fine with. She initially suggested Reshmi chicken and said it had a creamy sauce, so we agreed. So, when we finally order the Reshmi chicken, I also asked for a garlic naan to soak up the sauce with and then waitress says oh its not too saucy. So, at this point, I am like whatever lady, can we just order here as you're not being helpful?? Then, she says oh popular dishes here are chicken tikka masala, butter chicken and also bhuna chicken. She said bhuna chicken was her favorite and better than the other two and had a sauce to it, so we finally agreed on this. When the chicken arrived, it came with rice and also we ordered the garlic naan too. The chicken was very good and flavorful, but I doubt it was bhuna chicken as it was a lot more saucy than how bhuna chicken is normally cooked. Bhuna chicken is normally more dry, so I dont know what this waitress is talking about. Garlic naan was so-so and I have had much better elsewhere and for $4.95 a piece, not worth it. I didnt eat much as I was headed to another meal, but did have a bite of chicken for taste and had one piece of naan. We had leftovers and she brought two take away containers. I asked for another container and she wanted to argue about this too. At this point, I just wanted to get out of here. I was like, lady, can you stop arguing with me? The food here was good, but the service was severely ruined by a waitress that didnt know what she was talking about and kept arguing. I thoroughly did not enjoy this experience. And on my receipt, the order was rung up as Butter Chicken and not Bhuna Chicken. With so much competition now (and so hard to earn a dollar and with skyrocketing inflation) and with plenty of other good Indian restaurants around, needles to say, Tap N Tikka, you lost my business and I wont be coming back, thanks to your rude and not knowledgeable waitress.
This is my new favorite Indian restaurant in Arizona. The location is very clean and it's well decorated. The decor is nothing fancy, BUT the food is absolutely wonderful.. We did not have one bad dish. Loved all if them!! I will be coming here again and again. The service very top notch as well. Friendly prompt staff.
Tap N Tikka is a place I've long wanted to try, and I finally took the opportunity to do so. All I can say is, if you love Indian cuisine, don't miss this spot! The restaurant is clean and staff is extremely polite and friendly. They've got quite a comprehensive menu with a lot of traditional favorites, alongside some dishes I've never heard of m, but that piqued my interest. Ultimately, I settled on their garlic naan and chicken vindaloo, both of which were incredible! I love spice, but this dish can get really spicy, so if you're not a big fan of spice I either recommend going very low on their spiciness scale or potentially opting for another dish. All around, an absolutely fantastic experience and I will definitely be back soon!
We always drive by Tap and Tikka and finally decided to try it, so glad we did! It was so good. We got the Chicken Vindaloo and Garlic Naan. We went with medium spice, which was actually pretty spicy, but we love spice so we didn't mind. If you're not a big fan of heat, I'd definitely recommend going with mild. The vibe of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, and the service was friendly, but a little slower than we'd like. I know it was busy but the staff seemed like they were running around a lot. Overall though we had a great experience. The Flavor was incredible, and we're already planning our next visit!
Finally a delicious Indian restaurant close to home! We've dined at Tap n Tikka several times, and truly each time is better than the last. On the weekends during dinner rush, you will see that the place is packed! It's a fairly large dining area with optional bar seating. The bar area is such a vibe with the green and gold accents and gorgeous wallpaper running across the back. Every meal we've had, the food is packed with flavor and an aroma that will wow your senses. The portions are fair, I feel a little more on the rice portion would be reasonable. The naan- fluffy, soft and just can't get enough. The menu is quite large with an array of options for everyone. We've yet to try the dessert, but I'm sure it's great. Great atmosphere, top notch food & friendly service every time.
Hubby found this place for us to stop in for a late lunch after a quick car cruise through Tortilla Flat. Place was clean, and it was a little busy but not too much. This place serves authentic India food & a good variety of adult drinks. We orders the Chicken Manchurian, traditional butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan. I must say, I absolutely loved that they used dark chicken meat in both the butter chicken and tikka masala, because the chicken was so tender and tasty, not what you'd get if the breast meat was used. I usually prefer butter chicken but the tikka masala here was just delicious. It was full of flavor and spivesAlso this was the first time I've tried chicken Manchurian, it was so good, savory with a bit of sweetness, and had a bit of a kick.
Delve into Dehli-ciousness at Tap N Tikka! We went with some friends and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Service was excellent, food was delicious and a nice selection of beers on tap too! I forgot to get a picture of garlic naan and garlic cheese naan but it was delicious! We shared tandoori chicken wings and the two different naan. We had chicken samosas and our friends had the tandoori chicken platter. We were all very satisfied with our choices and are already looking forward to another visit! Parking was right outside the front door. The restaurant was packed when we got there so I'm glad we had reservations! Be sure to check them out! You won't regret it!
Great family lunch spot -- Indian food done right Brought the family in for lunch today and left very happy. Started with the Dahi Bhalla -- soft lentil dumplings soaked in cool, tangy yogurt with just the right hit of sweet and spice from the chutneys. Perfect starter. The Amritsar Kulcha with Chana was a standout -- the kulcha was crisp on the outside, soft inside, and the chana masala alongside it had great depth without being overly heavy. Paneer Zafrani was rich and fragrant (that saffron comes through nicely) -- creamy without feeling like it was drowning in sauce. Garlic cheese naan was a great call too, hot off the tandoor and loaded with flavor -- good enough to eat on its own. Washed it all down with a mango lassi that was thick, sweet, and cooling -- exactly what you want alongside all that flavor. Portions were generous, food came out fresh and hot, and it was a great spread for the whole table to share. Will definitely be back.
My husband and I get food every week, either delivery or dining in the restaurant. It's THAT good! SERVICE The servers and host are always polite and professional. They are friendly, and they provide great recommendations. AMBIANCE The restaurant is casual, but not fast food casual. It's more like date night casual. They have a full bar in case you need some liquid courage while dining with your crush. FOOD The food is delicious every single time. We have ordered: * mixed vegetable curry * korma * mushroom matal * rose ice cream * chai tea * vindaloo * samosa * naan * garlic naan * roti They were all SO good! They came with rice, except the ice cream, naans, samosa, roti, But I recommend confirming with your server if your dish comes with rice. I love that they have a tiered 3 level spice level inquiry. And their mild is not spicy yet flavorful. :-) SPECIALS * happy hour everyday 3:30-6pm * lunch specials Monday to Wednesday 11am-12:30pm
Where to begin? We came for a birthday celebration with some friends. When we arrived I asked about getting some desserts put on our bill for a surprise for the birthday person and was assured this could happen and they would be willing to make it happen. Our first time and now this will become a regular Indian restaurant for us! The smells when you walk in the door are a promise to what you will get on your plates! We started with the vegetarian Samosa, two come in the order. They were spicy and I only ate half but everyone else who are spicy eaters loved them! They came with a mint sauce and another sauce. We got two orders of their garlic naan...some of the best naan we've had. Thin and light and cooked perfectly with lots of garlic and herbs. So delicious! Also I had the butter chicken, based on all of the Yelp reviews raving about it. Ok, singing its praise as well! The chicken is cut into chunks and is so tender, swimming in some of the best butter sauce. I ordered "mild" which was perfect. And because we couldn't choose, we also got the Tandoori Chicken and we ate two pieces there and brought home the rest for the next day. Out of this world! Wife ordered the Paneer Saag, which was so good and rich. Large chunks of Paneer swimming in the saag sauce. Everything comes with jasmine rice and is served in small dishes for sharing. I tried a bit of the garlic chicken another person ordered but didn't taste anything else because they are spice people and everything they got was medium heat! Whimp I am!! Back to dessert; when it came time I asked our server about it and she brought me the menu so I could choose. No "special" birthday service which was fine, I wish they would have told me in the beginning, but ok...ordered the Gulab Jamun, which was honey balls, served warm in a light honey sauce (two in an order) and we also got the Rose Kulfi, which has pieces of rose in the dough. Strong rose flavor and they were ok...couldn't get over the pieces of rose in it. Overall, we loved this place and will come back for the savory foods. We noticed lots of Indian families coming in which tells us it's popular and serving authentic foods. Check it out!!!
Amazing service, amazing food! Our server was really helpful in explaining the best ways to reheat the leftovers, and that they do their entree sizes specifically so you have more to eat the next day.
I've left a five star Google review as well, suffice it to say, this place had been on my list of places to go try, and today I had a second day of celebration, a committed health win, and I decided not to plan a party but to celebrate by myself. I'm pretty sure that the photographs I've taken in the video say most everything about the food, but it's also the service and the attention to find detail that make this a very comfortable find. So whether you're with friends or family, or just want to have a beautiful lunch by yourself... If you enjoy spices and good food, this is a definite placed to try. I'm sure whoever waits on you will be excellent, but if you were extra lucky, you would have the same tall, young gentleman, helping you choose your dishes.
Popped in for lunch at Tap N Tikka, an authentic Indian restaurant in Gilbert. The atmosphere was very casual, and while the service felt a bit questionable when we first walked in, it quickly bounced back and became friendly and efficient. We tried the goat rogan josh and the chicken masala -- both were flavorful and well-spiced, though the chicken dish would have benefited from using dark meat. Overall, a solid local spot with good flavors and worth a return visit. Saluti

We had a positive experience at this establishment. We were immediately greeted and seated. It didn't take long for our server to come and take our drink orders and he was helpful in answering questions we had regarding the menu. He took our order and ensured we knew what we were getting, which we appreciated. The food took a little longer to get to us than we would have expected but it was absolutely delicious! The only issue was the stickiness under our table. Otherwise a great experience! read more

After my first visit to Tap N Tikka, I have not been able to stop thinking about out their delicious food! I'm so glad that I was able to visit again because this place has some of the best Indian food I've ever tried! We came in during dinner time on a weekday so there wasn't a long wait for a table. The hostess sat us down quickly and the service was fast. I liked that our waiter kept checking in with us to make sure that we were happy with our food. We ordered the butter chicken, saag paneer, lamb biryani, and butter naan. Butter chicken: AMAZING! The flavors were perfect and the chicken was so tender. This is my favorite dish here and I love having it over rice or dipping my naan in the curry. Saag paneer: I love the texture and taste of paneer. This dish can be a little salty but it is good with rice. Lamb biryani: SUPER flavorful. This dish has a lot of spices and a mild spice to it. It definitely packs a good punch of flavorful so this is a good dish if you're into that. Butter naan: I prefer the garlic one but the butter naan was delicious as well and was perfect in texture to enjoy with my curries. This is a great place to visit with a large group of family or friends! I love grabbing a bunch of dishes and sharing so that I could try a little bit of everything. Can't wait to be back! read more

Tap N Tikka is a very nice restaurant. When you first walk in to get greeted by the hosted the bar hits your eye with a big smile. My wife order everything that we ate and I had no clue in what it was. I do know that we've eaten at a lot of Indian restaurants and this one was just about the best tasting food I've had. I know that this place will go big. Now they really need to work on the service just a little bit. After we were about half way done eating the server came to refill the water which he did a lot. My wife asked him where my sons mango smoothie was, and asked him if he forgot to place that order. He was a bit of a wise guy with her and said no I didn't forget it's coming. I was facing the bar and saw him get a glass and go to the back and came out with drink. Well first off he forgot about it, it's that simple. The worse thing you can do is lie to a guest spending their money there's other restaurants to choose from. When it came to my vodka cranberry when I said to the server it's strong he said that it was a 2oz pour. By the looks and taste the bartender more then a 2oz in it. He was a bit nasty with me saying that this is the first time someone said a drink was to strong. I'm giving the Food 5 Stars. I'm giving the server 2 Stars. The owners are doing great with the food, hope to see another place opening near me. Regardless of the server just because of the food I will give this place 5 Stars. read more

The best Indian food in Arizona so far! I've tried about 5 to 6 different Indian restaurants but continue find myself coming back to tap n Tikka. The service is amazing, they are on top of everything and very informative if this is your first time. My wife had butter chicken, which is the Chef specialty with garlic cheese nann. I went with chicken vindaloo and regular garlic nann and let me tell you this is some of the best Garlic nann I've had. Definitely top five. We will be coming back a lot more frequent! They even had the Arizona football game as well as many others. They have a full service bar and seating. Stop here if you're looking for good Indian food! read more
Everything about Tap N Tikka was absolutely phenomenal. anyone who tells you different all i could think of was it was an off day. Because all the food we had tonight was amazing. I was a very frequent customer of One Stop gas and food art off of ray and cooper for years. But since I got pregnant last June and our son was sick all of January we haven't been able to make our frequent stops as usual. When we had gone in the past month or two ago we found out that our friend Samir had sold and opened up a new restaurant up the street called Tap N Tikka. We knew we had to check it out. We have been checking the menu and draft list pretty often and decided to go tonight since my husband was off of work. We go in and the place was immaculate just well decorated and just beautiful. We get our seats and order a flight to try our different beers on tap. Then we order our food: samosas, butter chicken, Indian pickles?, chicken tikka, and the kids chicken/French fries. Everything we ordered tasted like comfort food and delicious. Definitely the best Indian food i think ive ever had. I can't wait to go back to try more things even though i feel like i could bathe in the butter chicken sauce. Our server was amazing as well and told us that Samir was in the back cooking usually. So by the end of our dinner our server was able to find him and we were so happy to samir again! From the beer to the food you just can't go wrong here! read more

This is the beat Indian food I've had outside of India. No place in the valley can come close to the flavor and quality of this place. My friend and I always order a lot so we cam try a lot and have leftovers. We ordered 4 entrees, a small plate (instead of an app), two orders of garlic naan, a dessert and beer. We were both in awe of how good the food was. You can tell by the flavor amd texture of the sauces that everything is fresh amd quality ingredients. Lamb vindaloo was superb. The aloo gobi was the beat I have ever had and wad a surprise star foe the meal. Chicken achari was fantastic, far better than Guru Palace which I also love but Tap n Tikka is far superior. Tikka masala chicken was delicious as usual, but I had to know what the sauce would be like as so often at places it tastes like it's made from a mix, And this sauce was deeper in color and had great texture and flavor. The small plate was great though I do not remember what it was called, fried bread that was stuffed and served with chana masala. The dessert was described as "like rice pudding with cheese" and we both loved it. The first bite was interesting and each bite tasted better than the one before. I was glad I got to finish it. I have leftovers for the weekend and am happy about it. This meal had me in awe. I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is very loud, but once the food arrives you won't talk much anyway. read more

FIVE STAR!! This is our new FAVORITE INDIAN FOOD!! The food is AMAZING! We are so excited to have found it! We ordered the tandoori chicken ((holy cow it was THE BEST!)), butter chicken, chicken saag & the garlic naan. It was all incredible. Probably the very best tandoori chicken we've ever had! It came out sizzling! Yum! The mango lassi was also the best we've had! Try it! The place & restrooms were so clean, the staff was friendly and quick! We sat right away ((2pm on a friday)) but it was getting busy when we left. We are excited to go back hopefully with a bigger group so we can try more! It is a little pricey compared to other places we've been to but it is 100% worth it! You do get what you pay for! We will be back soon! read more

Hands down the best Indian restaurant in the east valley area. Hip and modern with amazing authentic cuisine and a great beer menu. Staff has been amazing each time. Try the Chole Bhatura!! Also, my sister in law is from India and she agrees! read more
Food tastes great. Our waiter was good at being informative and recommending food. We shared two dishes - sampler kabob and butter chicken with rice and garlic naan. Sampler kabob- interesting and different meats to try, food size Butter chicken- sauce was good but not a lot of chicken for a meal. I liked the taste but with the minimal protein in a dish ... hefty on the price. Garlic naan- tastes great and I'd get it again if i come back Service isn't bad just slow to bring out all the food. Maybe it's just a new place ? read more

Cute little family owned place. My friend and I went on a Friday night and it was busy. We sat by the bar and it was a huge mistake. The bar tender Sara had the worse attitude ... she didn't introduce herself, acknowledge us, or even clean the dirty dishes in front of us for 20 min. We ordered our food at 7:40 and it came out of the kitchen at 9:25. Terrible service. Food was good. We ordered butter chicken and chicken biriyani. We also order roti ( the bread) but it was dry. Probably won't be visiting again. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. My first experience was so amazing that I came back for more 2 days later. I've been wanting a good India food establishment in this area for some time. What a pleasant surprise The serve was amazing both time I've dined there. The first time was a crazy busy Saturday night but they still out out food in an efficient manner without compromising food quality. The place is pretty open inside. They have a nice bar and plenty of tables with space so you don't feel crammed. Overall I'd give this place a 10/10 when considering all the dishes I tried along with the experience. I'll be back many many more times. read more

Took the family to check out the new spot in town and from the service to the atmosphere to the craft beer and drinks menu to the food it was an outstanding experience. The buttered chicken (I got spicy) was deliciously spicy and packed with mouth watering flavor. Rice was perfectly cooked and the perfect compliment to every dish. The garlic and garlic and cheese naan were both to die for. Samosas (we got the veggie) was definitely a highlight and we will be getting that again. It's got some nice spice to it and the green sauce mellows it down and adds a beautiful compliment to the flavor. We had a great dinner and experience and will definitely be back. This is a family owned joint and those of us in the neighborhood are familiar with how wonderful this family is from their past business. This is the kind of spot we should all rush out and support! read more

I make a point to order saag paneer and butter chicken at any Indian restaurant I go to and this was some of my favorite I've had! Simple restaurant and quick service.

It pains me to give this place only 3 stars as they have so much potential and there are so few good Indian restaurants in the area. I came here multiple times with the hopes that I just had bad luck, but left disappointed. The food is authentic and flavorful and uses high quality ingredients. The meats are real unlike the over processed lunch meat that some other Indian restaurants serve. That being said, they have the tendency to severely over salt their dishes, to the point that it's difficult to eat. The tandoori fish is also tiny for the price and very very dry. The price is a bit on the high side and the rice portion is much too small, but I could overlook these things if it were less salty. The owner is such a sweet lady though and offered to switch a dish for us when we were unable to eat it. read more

Whoa, I don't know where to begin with this place, it was such a wonderful Saturday dining experience!! We both walked out in a food coma. :-) The first thing we noticed was an ample and well paved parking lot. Always a plus for us. Upon walking through the front door we were assaulted with so many pleasant aromas my stomach almost immediately started growling. I'm not joking. The décor was bright, cheerful, and lively -- and as I had read in another review, the music was fun and lively. We were all bee-bopping to the tunes in our seats as we looked at the menu. We got there around 4:30 and were lucky to be seated immediately (they do take reservations, but only recommended for five or more diners). Within seconds our server, Simar, was at our table with water and asking for our drink order. He was great! Polite, offering up suggestions if we needed it, always coming back frequently asking how the drinks / meals are, do we need anything else, etc. As if the food wasn't great enough, having Simar as our server was the icing on the cake, so to speak. The menu itself was pretty extensive with plenty of vegetarian options, and they had well written descriptions to tempt every appetite. It took quite awhile for us to decide what to order ... and then we ordered more later. Drinks: the tamarind margarita was tasty and smooth, the masala chai was nice, the mango lassi was sumptuous. Appetizers / small plates: the naan. Oh goodness, the naan was heavenly. Garlic cheese was our go-to, and it came out steaming hot & so garlicy. After eyeing the papdi chaat (something we have never seen anywhere else) we ordered that, too. Wow, that was an entirely different taste experience. At first it was like "hmmm, not sure I like this" but then as the taste settled in the mouth, we were both like "oh yeah, that's goooood". After we gorged ourselves on the garlic cheese naan, we ordered another variety: the kashmiri naan. Another excellent choice! Sweet, bursting with flavor. Honestly, we all could have stopped there. But we didn't. Oh no. Entrees: black pepper goat and rogan josh lamb curry (both mild). The meats were tender and flaky, there was ample rice, and everything also came out hot and steaming. Desserts: after all the excellent food there was no way in hell we were leaving w/o having dessert. LOL! We ordered the falooda kulfi and kheer. Absolutely mouth watering. Leftovers: oh yeah, we had leftovers - and they are going to provide us each with at least three if not four more meals. Knowing I have more rogan josh and naan for lunch is going to make work so much more enjoyable. :-) We live in Laveen, roughly 30 miles away. Was Tap N Tikka worth the drive? ABSOLUTELY! read more
