Went in for lunch with a friend. Tried the lunch time special. Food was good, service was pretty quick. The place is still new enough to be clean and shiny. Could stand to have little more protein on the plate. read more

Tikka Shack Indian Grub - Menu board. - Indian Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Found this place while looking for a place to eat in Lubbock. Looked pretty good online, but has some old menus that threw us off when we were trying to decide what to get.. we were hoping for pizza and goan curry, neither of which were available. We got a samosa chast, paneer tikka masala, original curry with chicken, garlic naan, and mango lassi. Total was about $40. Not terrible. Service was fast. Ambiance is laid out like a fast food joint. The samosa chast had good taste, but was hot which is unusual. The original curry was good, and had good depth. Garlic naan was average. Mango Lassi was superb. The paneer masala was underwhelming it has some flavor but not that usual boldness you get from Indian food generally. The paneer was overcooked but not burnt which texture wise made for a disappointment. Will give this place a 3/5. Not great but not bad. Has some good items. read more

Ordered chicken biryani and kebab platter Description of kebab platter says it comes with mango salad naan rice tikka cause. It came with only rice and the kebabs. No naan no salad no sauce!!! Biryani came with 5 yes 5 small bite size pieces of chicken no raita no sauce no egg!!! When I called them they said ok well nothing we can do about it call uber eats. Uber eats is NOT at fault as the bag was sealed! Not even flavorful! Biryani is salty the kebab is decent but needs the sauces and sides read more

I ordered chicken biryani through door dash, and punctured my mouth on a metal brush bristle. Thankfully doordash refunded and issued credits as compensation. No restaurant should still be using metal brushes after all the medical incidents involving them. Very very disappointed and will not be back. read more

Tikka Shack Indian Grub - Chicken Biryani - Indian Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

I have absolutely loved Tikka Shack's butter masala for years. I went 2-3 times a week in college just to have that for lunch. It's a cool, modern atmosphere, & you hardly ever wait more than 10 minutes to receive your meal. The rest of the menu looks delicious too, but I crave & look so forward to the butter masala specifically that I can never bring myself to try anything else. My husband however is willing to try more, & has also never had a bad meal. The butter masala, tikka masala, biriyani, tandoori wings, and kabob bowl are great. There used to be a tikka sandwich that was also great, The 2 things that bother me enough to leave a 4 star review instead of 5 are these: 1. Why on earth are the Lubbock locations the ONLY two that do not adhere to all of the Tikka Tuesday deals? To receive this text, especially when the butter masala is our favorite, it's just frustrating: "Tikka Shack: Tikka Tuesday Today. Featuring our most Popular Butter Masala with Rice + Naan + Drink for $11. (Not available at Lubbock locations)" Before, the "not available at Lubbock locations" was not included, & we would consistently try to get the butter masala on tikka Tuesdays (like the text said you could get) in store & be told the text doesn't include Lubbock locations. So unfortunate, & frankly unfair. Visiting the Phoenix, AZ & Austin, TX locations on Tuesdays & being able to get Butter Masala on Tikka Tuesdays was a real treat. 2. There are often inconsistencies with the cooking. We always enjoy our meals. But, sometimes we agree it is INCREDIBLE, & other times it's just alright & not quite meeting the standard we know it can reach. This is true for both locations. Truly wish I could give 5 stars, but these 2 issues are frustrating. read more

Food is so good, thought I was back in Qatar at the Indian restaurant there. Perfect blend of seasoning taste like you just walked into India Service as faster then expected. Order for delivery and got is early then time given. When I'm back in Lubbock will bring other family members. read more

Overall, I think this restaurant is good. The food menu has a lot of variety and you can definitely pick something you like. The reason I did not give it five stars is because the wait is very long. Even if there is no line, it takes a while to make the food. But a lot of restaurants are like that. The other complaint is that they often mess up the order. I order pick up from here very often and I always have to check my order to make sure the correct items are given. read more

Tikka Shack is Indian food for the masses. I prefer to call it "Seriously Okay Indian Food". If you are looking for an authentic Indian food experience, this isn't the place. If you're looking to dip your toes as a first timer, it's a good start. The first thing I noticed here is a lack of some of my personal favorites. No palak (spinach) dishes, no dosa (but plenty of naan), and no mattar (pea curry). I also think pakora would do well here, but alas none of that either. And to finish things off, no lassi. I think it would be a hit! Okay, I'll digress, what does this place have? Masalas, curries, jalfrezi, and korma. Naan, of course, and samosas. Staples of the most popular modern Indian cuisines. There are meat choices, so if you're accustomed to thinking Indian is strictly vegetarian there's nothing to fear here. But if you're looking for beef, you won't find it here. Holy cow, my Texan sentiments are dashed! The food, while not thoroughly an authentic Indian experience by my measure, is objectively good. The flavors are great and the sort of fusion style is unique. This may add further appeal for those hesitant to try. Masala fries and a Tikka pizza built on naan foundations are great examples. If you just want a salad, they have that too. But don't be afraid of samosas; think of them like an Indian egg roll. Prices are on par with similar trendy restaurants. My staff experience has been fine. You order at the counter and then find a table where they'll bring your food to you. It can be a meal at whatever pace you choose. read more

Delicious and quick Indian food can be found here! The service has been friendly and restaurant has been clean every time I've gone here.

Yes please! Good Indian food. The service is quick and the food flavorful. A must try is any of their naan. My personal favorite is the garlic, but they are all good. The mint chutney is incredibly flavorful! read more

Love Tikka Shack, however, learned today it's better to drive through than walk-in to order. They did 3 drive thrus to 1 walk in. Next time will drive thru read more

I got the Butter Chicken Masala and it was good and full of flavor however, the rice was a little stale and dry. The service was mediocre at best. Not the friendliest staff and super long wait with no other customers in site. I think they were understaffed so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and try it again. read more

I love Tikka Shack. It's not quite perfectly authentic Indian food-but it's a good introduction into Indian flavors (and great food,) especially for people that might be a little reluctant to try different cuisines. The menu is straight-forward and not intimidating at all, but, if you have questions, don't be afraid to ask the cashier if you have questions or are unfamiliar with certain dishes, etc, they are helpful and friendly. My only "complaint/suggestion" would be...if you order for pickup, you might have to wait a bit, and check your bag and make sure everything is there before you drive home. I'm not one to drive all the way back to a restaurant for sauce, but they do charge for some of them, so, it is slightly irritating if it doesn't end up I'm your bag. Tikka Shack has turned my family of "timid eaters," on to Indian cuisine. My kids prefer butter chicken with rice and naan, and my fave is southern curry with paneer and naan. Samosa are a crowd-pleaser. Hopefully, in time, we'll convert my husband too! PS-if you become a part of their loyalty program (forgot what they call it) they're generous with coupons and $5 off vouchers, so, it's not a bad idea to sign up. read more

My food was good and everything. However, I paid 25 dollars and my butter chicken masala came with 3 pieces of chicken? Not sure what I'm paying for the sauce ? read more

My kids and I went on a long road trip and this page made everyone happy. The food was fresh, the place was clean, there were vegan and vegetarian options, in addition to meat dishes, the staff was friendly, and my youngest was delighted to get pizza. The only thing I'm sad about is that there's no locations near us! read more

Only have ever visited during lunch time & it's always great! Servers are friendly, Food comes out quickly, and you count on it always tasting the way it's supposed to.

So my food was great. The staff was nice. My only complaint is that I wish the kitchen paid attention to the order. I ordered paneer tikka masala and added chicken paid for the additional chicken but only got paneer. It's good but I wish I had gotten what I paid for so I'm a little disappointed. read more

I DoorDashed my order. Last night I tried to submit an order and it was canceled after an hour. Disappointing but I still wanted to try this place as the reviews were so good. DELICIOUS. Only giving 4/5 due to doordash issue last night and it is pricey. I got butter chicken, samosas, extra rice, kids quesadilla and kids chicken kabob. My kids are being picky and claiming it's too spicy but they get like that. It's AMAZING. My younger daughter enjoyed dipping the quesadilla (really seems more like pizza) in the included sauce. Yum! Recommend! read more

I would like to preface by saying that this place is in no means authentic Indian cuisine, but that doesn't take away from the dish still being amazing! The sauce with the lamb and perfectly cooked rice was everything I wanted. However, the price was a bit steep for the dish. Other than that, the meal was great. read more

Tikka Shack Indian Grub - Lamb Curry - Indian Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

I picked up my order and opened the bag when I got home... BRUH. If you're going to give me elementary school cafeteria food, at least fill my bowl a little bit. Got three different things and all were extremely bland. Huge let down. The chicken tikka masala tastes literally like campbells tomato soup. Don't believe me? Order it right now and see. I am a very positive person and never leave these reviews, but Damn dude, I got finessed. Worst $33 I've spent in a while. read more

Simply put, Lubbock is not the food capital of Texas, but this is a gem! Tikka shack was one of my go-to-restaurants during my time at Texas Tech. I typically get the lamb butter tikka with garlic naan and it is so good. Their lamb is so tender and the butter tikka is the perfect blend of savory and sweet! I've also had their samosas, tikka masala, and their tikka fries. All of which are pretty good! read more

Passing through Lubbock with my family and wanted to eat Filipino food (next door to tikka shack) but it was closed. Tried tikka shack instead and loved everything about it. Customer service A1, food was fire, everything I usually forget to leave reviews, but I couldn't forget tikka shack. 6 out of 5 stars!! read more

Friendly staff, clean restaurant, and decently priced. The food is Indian cuisine. It was fresh, and tasted good. However it's a fast food chain so don't expect the depth of authenticity, and variety that would be found in a family Indian restaurant. read more

It's 3.5 really. Was ready to look past the Fast Food style experience in hopes of getting delicious food. The food was just "fine". Far from toe-wiggling delicious. I agree with other reviews that it's not authentic Indian. The staff was friendly though. I'm betting there is far better Indian food with better value for the money somewhere else in Lubbock. read more

Will never recommend this place to anyone as a Indian restaurant. It's more of a fusion fast food joint - I feel. The curry I took was literally tomato soup and some under cooked veggies thrown in. My husband took a korma based sauce and that too was not up to the mark. They say Naan (which is not a tandoori naan, but a pita bread) . We stopped here on our way back from Taos, NM. We were excited to try some comfort food after our trip, but was a sheer disappointment ! Stay away. read more

Great food! I love the Chicken Tikka bowl and the Chicken Vindaloo! The store is always clean & the staff is always nice!

Upbeat Indian restaurant with great food. I will advise anyone with a low spice tolerance (like me) make sure to ask what is and what is not too hot, it can get a bit heated. read more

Great meal. We had the chicken tikka masala, chicken biryani and a side of fries. It all tasted very fresh, the restaurant appeared clean and inviting. The fries almost had a sweet seasoning which was interesting and good. For places like this, I wish there was like a 4 or 6 or 8 person sampler that offered many small dishes - a little bit of everything. I'd like to try it all! read more

Tried Tikka Shack for the first time today. We'd heard lots of good comments from family and friends about this place. I have to admit, they were right. The food was delicious and the service was fast and super friendly (and helpful). I ordered the Tikka wrap and hubby had the Butter Marsala. Both were delicious. We will definitely do this again! read more

Inauthentic but tasty food served quickly by friendly staffers in a clean, open, airy environment.

Something totally different in the whole area. The set up is also very nice. Great variety in the menu and the price is also not so bad.

The last time I was here was 2017. I've returned 2+ years later, and the food still tastes the same and prices haven't changed. This isn't the best Indian food ever, but it's good enough for a quick fix in Lubbock. The food/drink portions don't justify the price, especially for the mango lassi ($4). I've had 2-3x bigger portions in restaurants of the same atmosphere/vibe and their prices were much less. Mango lassi in another restaurant in Atlanta for 2x the size was less than $4 - and it tasted like real mango lassi, not the watered down stuff here. I feel like they're able to do that because the competition in Lubbock is nonexistent. It's still not bad for Lubbock though. I'd be back, if I have a craving, simply because I like the fast service. Also, the customer service I've had hasn't changed - still friendly people. If you're in the mood (and I mean really in the mood) for some FAST Indian food and you're in town, stop by and give it a try. Just don't be expected to be blown away or even surprised. Think of it like a McDonalds of Indian food, unless you're blown away by McDonalds. In that case, you need to re-evaluate your taste palate. read more

OK-ish for fast Indian food if you have to have a quick fix. They were out of Malai Kofta. We're vegetarian, so that cuts back on our options. We got the Aloo Palak and Paneer 65. Aloo Palak gravy was good, but heavy on the sauce and WAY TOO short on the spinach. The Paneer 65 was tasty, but I would not order that as my entree dish again. Not enough food, unless you fill up on rice. The naan is way overpriced for the small amount you get. The samosas are OK, but the mint chutney is sweet and I do not personally care for sweet sauces, typically. I was just a bit off-put by the fast food atmosphere and the feeling that they assume people in Lubbock won't know what good Indian food is. Mehhhh. read more
