    Tai B.

    I was very pleasantly surprised by Tikka Masala Grill. I came in for the lunch buffet and was not disappointed. There was a good variety of foods to try, including lamb korma, samosas, lemon/yellow rice, several vegetable dishes, and of course chicken tikka. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The owner (I assume) came by multiple times to check on me and make sure the food tasted good, which was really nice to see. It's clear they are invested in the restaurant and want it to succeed. My only issue is that the food wasn't particularly spicy enough for my taste, but this is Minnesota, so that's somewhat expected. If you have a big appetite, I would definitely recommend coming for the buffet. The restaurant itself is clean and has plenty of seating, so it feels comfortable. They also include chai and other drinks in the buffet price, which is something you don't always see. I'll definitely be coming back.

    Biryani rice, goat curry, butter chicken, pani puri, wheel chips, and vegetable samosa.

    Tikka Masala Grill & Buffet has a good selection of Indian food with great flavors. The food was delicious and the service was great. I have visited this restaurant a few times and the food and welcoming service is consistent. It's an absolute gem in Columbia Heights!

We also added king crab, and it did NOT disappoint. So good! You truly can't go wrong with the Boom Mix. We ordered it medium spice and it was the perfect blend of flavor with just the right amount of heat without overpowering the seafood. Great food, great seasoning, and overall a super fun dining experience, especially for a group! We'll definitely be back!

Even without ordering their famous boil, everything I tried was fantastic. The flavors were bold, the seasoning was on point, and the portions were generous enough that I didn't feel like I'd missed out on anything. I went with a mix of appetizers and entrées instead, and honestly, each one held its own. The fried items were crispy without being greasy, the seasoning had that perfect Cajun kick, and the sides were way better than your average seafood spot. Service was friendly, the vibe was relaxed, and the food came out hot and fast. Next time I'll finally try the boil--but if you're on the fence or just not in the mood for it, trust me: you'll still eat well here. Crafty Crab delivered, boil or no boil. I'll definitely be back.

I would give this place 6 stars if I could. I work with a diverse group of people, with many Ethnic backgrounds. And as much as I love (prefer) burgers and wraps, I have also come to enjoy rice and noodles. My doctor team had to work on Saturday and we get lunch "catered". Typical delivery options: JJs, Davani's, Chipolte, Vietnamese or Thai. But a new option was presented to the team: FILIPINO cuisine! My mind went "oh no, something new. (Insert grimace face). I know what to order at the regular places. Will I even like it?" On Thursday, I looked at the online menu and grabbed "A" (a Filipino coworker) and asked what things were. I'm not a fan of SPICY SPICY food (like Indian) and she assured me I was safe here. I asked about the noodles (glass and flour mixed with vegetables, similar to fried rice). She said they'll be dry but full of flavor. Lumpia are miniature egg rolls (thin, flaky wrapper). BBQ pork skewer (self explitory). I decided on Combo #1! Saturday: Holy smokes! This is my new favorite place. Let's start back with the noodles. Yes they are dry, but the catering box came with sauces (soy, sweet chili and HOT sauce). I added a little bit of soy just to add wetness to be able to swirl the fork, but the flavor is on point. The egg rolls..2 is not enough. Give me at least 6 and all the sweet chili sauce. Very addictive. The bbq pork skewer... If I didn't know any better, I would have thought it was steak. I was delighted to taste smokiness from the grill. I could imaging eating this at a 4th of July picnic. Combo #1 was filling. Half of the office ordered the combo #1 and the other half did the Combo #2 (Chicken Adabo). How good it tasted was all anyone could talk about the rest of the day between seeing patients. I have no doubt we'll be ordering this again in the future. Again, I was shown that trying new things isn't always a bad thing.

    My friend and I tried combo 1 and combo 2. The flavors were delightful. The chicken Adobo was super…read moretender and tasty. The lovely owner was super friendly and helpful. It really felt like eating with family and friends. The ambiance felt fun and tropical with plants and fun decorative items. I can hardly wait to eat here again.

    Okay, Crooners is not hip or trendy, but it serves a niche market for people with eclectic music…read moretastes. And while the crowd might trend older, these people have aged gracefully, maintaining a sense of cool. The story behind Crooners is fantastic. A former teacher, the woman owner made money building health facilities. She fell in love with a piano man on a cruise and built Crooners as a testament to her loving spouse. Sadly, her husband passed away before Crooners came to fruition. Her philanthropic work for developing countries and the indigent is well documented. She has a big heart. This was our first time at Crooners, and to test the waters, we drove up the Sunday evening of Memorial Day weekend to enjoy a R & B lounge singer in the free Maggie's Piano Lounge. While the sightlines at Maggie's are ridiculous (it's used as a holding pen for the bigger venues, and the patrons coming and going block your view), we had a great time. Dave, the vigilant and hard-working manager for all of Crooners, also acts as publicist, and was kind enough to show us the other venues. There isn't a bad seat in the house. Marci was our server, and she covers the rooms like a safety on a football field. How she knows when everyone is ready for another drink, to order, or for the check is magical. The food was good, and the menu covers all tastes. We enjoyed Crooners and will return when the performer matches our taste. Knowing what to expect helps. The Minneapolis metro area is fortunate to have a music venue that caters to music lovers outside the mainstream. Go and support Crooners. You'll enjoy yourself.
