    Food was good. Not many vegetable dishes available. Service was alright. Ambiance was good, well decorated for the space. Aloo gobi 4.5/5 Butter chicken 4.5/5 not too sweet

    This is the perfect spot to stop before going to a concert at Forest Hills. I came here with a friend on a Saturday around 4:45 p.m. and was not disappointed. It wasn't that crowded at that time to our pleasant surprise. We started off with samosas which were perfectly cooked. The waitress kept trying to bring us more samosas even though we only ordered one. I had the tikka makhani, which was on the sweeter side and could have used a bit more heat. The chili garlic naan, however, was delicious and really brought balance to the meal. The restaurant interior is clean and well-organized. Service was friendly, but on the slower side. Prices were decent for Queens, and the portions pretty large (neither one of us finished our curry).

    Great food great service awesome experience Great selection of food. So many items to choose from. I have a sweet spot for savory sweet and tangy food, and this was just that Service was quick, professional, and presence was top notch. Water always filled and a few check ins throughout meal. Inside looked amazing. Very spacious

    We've ordered plenty of times from Tikka N Talk and enjoyed their food in the past. However, after tonight's take out order, I may have to order something else. The size of their entrees, particularly the Malai Kofta is small. To add insult to injury, it took an hour past the estimated wait time for them to finish preparing the food for the delivery person.

    I love TNT! Even though my first experience here wasn't the best, my 2nd one was awesome. Not only did they get my order right, but they also followed special instructions. In addition, the manager and staff members are extremely pleasant and professional..such a pleasure ordering from here! Good food and good service, what more can you ask for?? :-)

    chicken tikka masala and naan

    Very solid Indian food! We got chicken tikka masala and naan, and it tastes great but nothing too special

    Think we might've found our new go to spot for Indian food in Queens! We had a bit of difficulty locating the restaurant because Google Maps dropped us off at the end of the block, but Tikka N Talk is a little further in and downstairs. We ordered the chicken tikka masala (mild), chicken vindaloo, and chicken biryani. The tikka masala here is SO good, but I think we'll order it a little spicier next time. We were thinking that the vindaloo would be super spicy, and we'd need something mild. The vindaloo was really flavorful & had a kick to it, but we could probably ask them for a bit more spice as well. Portions here are generous, well priced, and there's a good amount of chicken. The chicken biryani was unfortunately the one thing that was just okay to us. None of the flavors/spices were particularly noticeable, and it was a bit bland even with the raita. Highly highly recommend the garlic naan here - SO good. Service was friendly and attentive, and our waitress kindly addressed any questions we had. Cash & card are both accepted. Parking is a bit difficult.

    Once again my friends and I returned to this restaurant and were not disappointed. Staff was friendly, courteous and attentive to our needs. Helped us with our meal selections and came home feeling very full. Definitely will come back!

    They had a brunch menu with really affordable options ($10-$15 and comes with chai/coffee), as well as an extensive menu with things I've never seen before (qabuli naan). They started with sauces and complementary Crackers (it's very similar to the Mexican puffed crackers). I ordered the chickpea poori dish (waiter said that this was a little bigger than the bhature), which paired nicely with the tamarind sauce. The dish was lighter in flavor which made it a good brunch option I thought and came with 2 pillowy deep fried breads which were the best part of the meal I thought. The chai had a bit much milk but was actually brewed from leaves. Also ordered the chicken korma, which was much more buttery than nutty in taste. It was still decent and comes with basmati rice, but the chicken was overcooked. Would come back to try other things.

    Ordered takeout for the lamb lunch special and legit got 3 pieces of overcooked lamb for $14. They give naan but what is there to dip? Never ordering from them again.

    Chilli Garlic Naan
    Linda D.

    Awesome and friendly service. They were very attentive and informative as my friend had a few questions regarding some of their drinks and dishes. The waiter always had a smile on his face. The food was really good, my favorite was the Dahi sevi puri appetizer and the garlic chili naan. The mango lassi was awesome it had a lot of mango flavor and was thick, not so diluted like some other places can make it. Half of the place still seemed to be under renovation, but the completed half was very aesthetic and had a nice ambience, however I noticed since we were sitting near the kitchen I could hear some of the kitchen staff communicating about orders and sometimes it seemed a bit chaotic, it would create a nicer ambience if they were able to diffuse the kitchen noise away from the guests. Other than that, I would definitely return if I was in the area and back in Queens!

The pho was decent and filling. The wings were average just seemed undercooked. Pro tip. If you want starters/apps, order them first. After you've finished, revisit the menu and order your main dish. Areas of improvement - don't bring out the main dish first and the appetizer next. It's senseless. There was a party of 11 that came in. The workers really catered to them and left the single diners to themselves but still expect a regulated tip. I had one napkin the entire time and no one ever came over to see if I needed anything. I came, I dined, I left. I won't be back. Also my pho was getting cold as I tried to navigate between the two. Inspire more, Yelp more!

When we arrived, they said they hadn't received the order, citing an issue with their system. They told us it would take about 15 minutes. Unfortunately it really took about 35 minutes for the food to be ready. The wait time was definitely underwhelming. However they made up for it by giving us a free slice of tiramisu cake. When we got home, we were both surprised by just how much gnocchi they give. We both ordered the Senza Vodka. Other than the red pepper flakes on top, the sauce was really flavorless. I did like the gnocchi itself. The side Caesar salad was also very bland. My wife really enjoyed the food, so they made it worth it.

Cacio e pepe with meatballs- rich, creamy, not salty as I feared based on some other reviews. Decent depth of flavor, ricotta was cool as the other elements were warm to hot, providing some temperature play. Meatballs were flavorful, but one of them seemed a bit overdone/dry. Senzu vodka with shrimp - spicy, salty, still creamy, obviously. Shrimp was a bit on the saltier side. A more straightforward flavor, I guess? Gnocchi itself - fell apart in the mouth, not very chewy like the mass-produced stuff. Haven't had much of it, but the last gnocchi I had was from Crown Shy so it feels pretty unfair to compare. I wasn't totally wowed by the texture. I'm not entirely sure what Gnocchi is supposed to taste like. Overall, it was decent. I'm not chomping at the bit to go back, but I'm not against it. It's just that in a crowded street of heavy-hitting spots to eat, I'm not sure how well this competes with them. I feel a little guilty giving this a 3. There's quite a bit to like. For one, despite looking small, the gnocchi is rich and heavy and I actually didn't feel the urge to finish all of it because of how sated I was. If you want to fill yourself on some gnocchi (you don't even need the protein, honestly) this is a great place to do so. The presentation is as good as it could be given its limitations of being in a plastic bowl. That said, my mom and brother really loved this, so we'll be heading back again.

I went during Ramadan with my partner to break my fast, and they were so accommodating. Tip: call them to make a quick reservation beforehand. Next, onto the food. We ordered the dumplings, lamb stew with naan, and their special noodles. Everything was absolutely mind blowing. The lamb was perfectly seasoned and fell right off the bone. The bread was soaked in flavor. The noodles are perfect for a cold night. The noodles are mixed in house and fresh, and you can definitely taste the difference in fresh noodles and store brought. Their service was impeccable. Our host was gracious and greeted us in Arabic as soon as we walked in. He took our order fairly quickly, and the food did not take that long to come out. Whenever he spoke, he had his hand over his heart and was so friendly. I cannot speak anything but praise about this place. It's amazing and I plan to go there soon again with my whole family. Everything was delicious and this restaurant could easily be one of the top 10 restaurants I've ever been to in my life.

    What a way to end the week…read more Since moving to Brooklyn, I have had my fair share of Lagman, a popular dish in Uyghur cuisine. Cafe Kashkar in Brighton Beach, Nargis Cafe in Sheepshead Bay, this is the dish that keeps on giving. Until eating here. I will just keep this one all to myself. Everything here is right, on top of right, on top of right, on top of right. Friendly, fast, and efficient service. A pretty ambiance that does not hit you over the head with a walking stick, and some of the best Lagman I have eaten this side of the East River. These folks know what they are doing. To come here and not order some naan is a huge insult, so I did that. Even that is done properly. The naan is light and full of flavor. It needs no oil or anything to spruce it up. Enjoy it for what it is. The Lagman hits all the right notes, checking every box that Lagman needs to have. Ample and flavorful meat? Check. Fresh hand pulled noodles that are also ample? Check. Crispy, sautéed vegetables? Check. About a quarter of the way through my meal, one of the owners came up to me and offered me chili oil to put in the dish. I obliged as I learned from Cafe Kashkar the importance of adding flavor to this dish. It really does elevate everything on the plate and brings all those flavors that are already on the plate, forward. Everything is rather affordable as well. Before the New York Times finds out about this little hole in the wall and blows this restaurant's cover, I will close this review by simply stating this restaurant is a winner, without all the aforementioned accolades.
