    First timers and decided to go try them after seeing a few reviews. We discovered that they also have dining room seating as well as their drive through. We opted to go in and experience this place from the inside instead of just reviewing the menu and going through the drive through this time around...now we know and we'll be using the drive through going forward. Going forward? Oh yeah!!! We discovered some really wonderful and tasty Indian food and would highly recommend it. Love that they only have a few dishes to offer, chicken and vegetarian based. The dishes come with jasmine rice and if you order the combo, you also get your choice of naan and a drink. We had a difficult time deciding so we went for the gusto! Wife did the combo with Paneer Tikka Masala, butter naan, and the mango lassi. She likes heat so ordered it "medium" and it was really spicy for me but she loved it! I picked two different dishes, the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Butter Chicken; both came with rice and I also ordered the garlic naan on the side. Spice level 1 for both of those dishes and it was perfect. Their flavors are legit and so tasty. The whole place smells so good when you walk in as well! All of the dishes were cooked perfectly; the two chicken dishes included big chunks of moist chicken pieces and the naan...oh my gosh. First they are huge; cut in half for two pieces and were the perfect wrap for the chicken! The mango lassi was so delicious and creamy and thick...getting a large next time, LOL! Overall a great experience. Staff were friendly and helpful and it took no time for us to order and get our food. We took everything to go and loved the way the naan breads were wrapped up. Prices are reasonable for what you get and our total dinner that could have easily fed four people was $65. We WILL be back!

    I am not a huge fan of Indian cuisine but only because most of their dishes are SPICY!!! lol I saw Tikka Drive pop up on Yelp and my mouth started drooling for the Butter Chicken. I had some leftovers I needed to finish first, but the pictures did me in and I went to satisfy my craving!! When I tell you this place is legit, it is LEGIT!! As in, you can see the employees in their awesome uniforms complete with head covers just like back in the days! I went to the drive-thru yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to see they have a huge window where you can see them hard at work making fresh Naan Bread! Although their menu is limited, it has all of the basics you could want/need. I love that they offer 5 spice levels, so if you're like me and can't hang, go for the 1 or 2. I ordered 1 which is pretty much no spice. The Butter Chicken was so creamy and delicious! I think next time I'll try spice level 2 for a lil kick. I opted for the combo which includes a drink and Garlic Naan. I wanted the Mango Lassi so there was an extra $.75 upcharge for that. I do wish it was a bigger size! That drink was yummy!! The entrées all come with Basmati Rice. It didn't look like a lot, but honestly, I could have gotten 4 meals out of it. I was a lil piggy and ate it in 2 sittings, but I could have definitely stretched it out. My stomach was busting at the seams, but I couldn't help myself!! I actually wanted to go back again today, but I was able to fight off temptation. Next time, I'm going to try their Chicken Curry.. You can't and shouldn't sleep on the Garlic Naan. I might try the Butter Naan next visit. I hope this place gets all the hype because it was FIRE!!! They do have a dining room inside and one day I'll go in and enJOY my meal in there. Trust me on this one, guys! Tikka Drive is where it's at! The service was awesome and everyone seemed happy to be there. Gotta love it! The best part is, prices won't break the bank and they're open late til 10:30 pm daily. If your mouth starts to water as you read this, take it as your sign to GO. NOW!!! lol

    This restaurant has drive through and traditional seating area. We chose to dine in. Ordered food at the counter and sat down. The restaurant is not big inside but very clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Which was a huge plus. Sometimes people get annoyed when I ask too many questions. Here they did not have any problems answering my questions. Food came out fairly quickly. Chicken masala was full of flavor and done just right. Garlic naan was soft and fragrant. Indian lemonade was interesting flavor not too sweet and not too tangy. Mango lassi was very creamy and nice. Definitely will be back when I crave soul food.

    I am glad an Indian "fast food" drive through opened up close to my house.. I ordered the chicken curry and garlic naan.. I do say the portion is generous considering BUT I felt like the chicken curry needed more flavor.. I'll probably give the chicken curry itself 2.5 out of 5... I hope the tikka masala or the butter chicken tastes better.. maybe down the road I'll come back to try them if and when I need an Indian food fix..

    Butter Chicken Combo with Basmati Rice, Garlic Naan, and Homemade Iced Tea!
    Evan M.

    I have been so excited to finally try this concept from Rahul and was not disappointed! I ordered the tried and true butter chicken, level 4 on the spice, with a garlic naan and rice as a combo with their iced tea. Bonus points because the tea is fresh brewed with a special touch of spices that gives it a unique flavor. The level 4 of 5 on spice level had a nice level of heat! The butter chicken was tender and packed full of flavor. Piping hot and fresh, generous portion, and packed nicely to go! The naan was fresh and crispy. 10/10. You can't go wrong with anything you order here. Ps...This restaurant is owned and operated by the son of the family that owns Namaste Indian restaurant in North Scottsdale, which is also definitely worth trying if you haven't been there before!

    Butter chicken garlic naan and mango lassi

    Omg, this is my absolute favorite food right now, especially now that I'm pregnant! Fast, delicious, and always comes out steaming hot without a long wait. I've had the butter chicken twice already -- definitely my #1! The chicken korma is also scrumptious. I chose spice level 3, which was the perfect amount of spice where you still fully enjoy the flavor of the food. The portions are huge too! You can eat now and still have plenty left for later. And the garlic naan... SO big and packed with flavor! I'll honestly be trying everything on the menu at this point. I've already sent so many people there and I really hope they open more locations soon. We need one in Phoenix and East Mesa ASAP!

    First drive thru Indian spot in Arizona! This is right down the street (dangerous lol). I loveeee Indian food, I got the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan. So flavorful! Everyone was super friendly! Can't wait to go back

    Been waiting months for this place to open so we had to try! The staff were so friendly, restaurant was clean, service was quick, and the food was great! Chef Rahul (and founder) checked us out at the counter so he gave us a lot of info about the food/ingredients. No seed oils and no artificial dyes used. Excited to have a fast Indian restaurant so close! We ordered the paneer tikka masala and garlic naan. I got a spice level 3 and could barely taste it so I would definitely level up if you like spice!

    Butter Chicken and garlic naan
    Jo C.

    This is my first time trying butter chicken and it's DELICIOUS!!! I texted everyone I know to go try it out. The chicken is the most tender. I got level 2 of spice because I wanted to taste flavors and not heat....& it did not disappoint. Customer service is also top tier !! I will go back again!

    Tikka Drive is by far the BEST Indian Food I've tried. The location is clean the staff is friendly. The portions are large and the service is quick. The Naan is fresh and hot ! I had the Paneer Tikka Masala so much flavor. The Mango Lassi is the most refreshing beverage on the menu. The prices are reasonable. A definite 15 out 10 for me. Definitely worth the drive!! Check them out

    I tried this place for the first time today and got the butter chicken. I did a spice level 3. It was exceptional. The customer service was 5 stars, the food was 5 stars and the portions are enough for two. I highly recommend this place. Don't let the drive through and speed fool you. This is convenient with zero sacrifice for quality. If you were served this at a nice sit down restaurant you would be just as pleased. 10 out of 10, I highly recommend.

We loved the plates and the serving dishes because of the charm we thought they had. Now they use these more American looking serving dishes that are just a huge bummer and look stale. But the reason why we came was because of the flavor, the seasoning was delicious. Now it tastes watered down. Like there is less cumin and a few other spices? Perhaps. Our favorite dish was the gobi Manchurian, we used to come because of how good it used to be. Now even that has lost its flavor. Even the cauliflower that was used today looked sad and watered down. With the prices that have gone up dramatically, the food losing its flavor, and the charm gone from the serving dishes I'm sad to say we won't come back. We were okay paying even double if it was just the same as before. Now you could NOT even pay me to eat here. I want to add that I think their customer service is great, the staff is always friendly, so it has nothing to do with that. Just the changes someone chose to make. My family and I are really sad because we feel like we've lost our favorite restaurant and now we have to find a new place. I hope everyone else enjoys the changes because we do not.

The serving dishes were pretty. As we were finishing up the restaurant was getting fuller and it was fun to see everyone getting their thali meals. With us being the only non-indian people at the restaurant, It felt like a cultural experience in many ways that we really enjoyed. I would love to come back here for the vegetarian Thali.

The service was amazing - we had some questions about the food and our server gave us great answers + recommendations! We were seated quickly and the greeting we got when we came in (from I think the owner?) was very personable and welcoming.

Will definitely be back here, my husband noted that he was eager to check out the lunch buffet.

So when I say this place is the best, that means something. After 8 years of exploring Indian restaurants all across the Valley -- Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa -- Flavors of India consistently stands out above the rest. As a vegetarian, bold and complex flavors are everything to me. Without meat, you really need a kitchen that knows how to layer spices and build depth, and this place delivers every single time. The food is fresh, the flavors are rich and satisfying, the customer service is warm and attentive, and the prices are absolutely fair for the quality you're getting. This is my go-to, and it should be yours too. Hands down the best Indian food in the East Valley. I love the ambience. They're very welcoming and always clean.
