Wonderful fusion experience. My kids and I loved the paratha taco shell with the delicious meat filling. Their biriyani was really good too! Just the right spices and very tasty. They serve bottled drinks like Gold Peak sweet tea. Highly recommend and they have specific halal menu items, which is a plus. read more

We stopped in on a whim on a Friday night. Initially, we were unsure if they were open, despite it being during their Google-listed open hours...it just looked dead. No cars out front and not awesome light indicating open or closed from outside. But they were operating and we went in and seated ourselves. My fella doesn't love Indian food, but they have other things on the menu that he was able to find something he was interested in (chicken and waffles) and he was pretty happy with it. I ended up going with the saag paneer, because YUM. It was really tasty and I had enough for leftovers, which really makes it a value for the price. Service was ok and the place seemed pretty clean. Cricket on the tv, and an ok vibe. At different times during our eat-in visit though, it smelled strongly like cigarette smoke, which was a turn off. It wasn't coming in from the front door, no one else came in or went out during the time of the smells, and there weren't smokers visible out front. I wouldn't mind coming back, though I might consider getting my food to go and not eating it where it smells like cigarettes... read more

What a great find! Very helpful and kind staff, and the space is basic but clean and inviting. I got the desidilla and give it a thumbs up. Great flavor, unique ingredients, and lots of filling inside. Next time I'll try something else, as there are such varied menu options. Also nice to have the parking spots out front. read more

HELL YES!!!! I love it so much I'm typing while I eat!!! What an excellent fusion!! I ordered the lamb burrito, vegetable samosas, and added on paratha for delivery. Delivery was fast and perfect! Food is hot and delectable! The multiple salsa options for my lamb fusion burrito were sooooo good!!! Who knew Mexican and Indian paired so well!!?? Just a slight recommendation....make larger paratha and use it for the burritos instead of the flour tortillas to bump it up a notch. And the samosas???... ‍ 10/10 all around! read more

My second time here & it was another hit. I really enjoyed my Szechuan Chicken. It was spicy but so good & flavorful. The egg rolls & samosas were good & came out very hot. My father in law & husband liked their chicken burritos. We honestly had a great low key Lunch. It was around 1:30/2pm on a Wednesday. Very chill atmosphere & service. read more

After reading some great reviews, we stopped by for an early lunch. We arrived a little before 11 am, but an employee didn't arrive until a few minutes after 11 to open up the restaurant. It's the old New Wave burritos location, located on Preston Highway with a few parking spaces out front. It's a smaller restaurant with booths, tables, and bar. There is a QR code on the tables for the menu but the server also brought menus. It's a Mexican and Indian fusion restaurant with also an Asian flair with dumplings and egg rolls. We ordered from the Indian side and started with the veggie samosas ($5.99) and then the Bollywood chicken tacos ($13.99). Only two samosas in the order - they were okay. The Bollywood tacos came in an order of two with no sides. Served in flatbread with chicken, lots of rice and a small slice of avocado. Glad we tried it out but probably won't be back. read more

Dive bar kind of vibe, but attentive service and BANGIN Chicken Tikka Masala. SO good and filling, I want to try everything on this menu. Well, wait, I did try some of the sides/apps from my friends. One was the Onion rings. I dont know what kind of breading was used but it was soft and almost cake-like? I dont know but they were great, I would order these for myself. The mozzarella sticks were a basic app, and decent The Chicken dumplings had a good flavor and were made even better by the slightly spicy sauce given with them. Definitely try this place! Its so good read more

Ordered from Tikka Tacos via Uber eats. The samosas were delicious! However, the sagg panner lacked the savory flavor... it tasted like to much butter was added ( and salt.) The naan was good... they only gave one small piece per order. read more

Stopped into this roadside stop while looking for a quick bite before settling into our hotel for the evening prior to the flight back to NYC. So happy we found it. Although the space was small and we were the only ones there, the food was absolutely amazing. This is Indian/Mexican fusion cuisine and honestly I don't think I've ever considered that pairing before. I ordered the Bollywood Tacos - not knowing what to expect. But WOW. The flavors were absolutely intense. That mixture of Indian seasoning with Mexican sensibilities. It was a Taco - but yet not a taco! Just an amazing combination that I can't praise enough. If you live in the area - or are just traveling through - please give this place a try. It deserves to survive - and I selfishly want it to be here the next time I'm in the area so that I can try another offering from its menu! read more

What an incredible fusion of Indian and Mexican food! It's not much to look at from the outside, but the food will make the stop worth it.

Tikkas Tacos is a hidden gem in Louisville, it definitely surprised us! We stopped in while visiting family post-Thanksgiving. Service was good, food came out quick and hot. The fusion tacos are a standout--and I was blown away by their cheesesteaks! Who would've thought an Indian-Mexican fusion place could make a cheesesteak this good? lol. My parents were loving it. They got chicken and steak cheesesteaks and noted they were both very flavorful and juicy. My partner got the Bollywood tacos, and it was such a unique balanced taste with the garlic roti combined with Mexican fillings. Quite flavorful. I also tried their butter chicken and naan, which were solid, but the fusion dishes really stole the show. The vibe is divey and sports-bar-like, making it a casual and fun spot to hang out. If you're in the area, Tikkas Tacos is absolutely worth a visit! read more

Had a fantastic lunch today at Tikka Tacos. Found this gem on Yelp. Had the lamb burrito and the samosas. Both were extremely tasty. The lamb was so tender and juicy. The burrito construction was perfect. Great ratios and rolled tightly. The samosas were filled to the bring. Tasty filling with crispy dough. Loved the sauce. Service was fantastic. Very attentive and food was prepared quickly. Gave me extra sauce to go with my to-go box. Place was extremely clean and close parking. Will be back! read more

Walking into the establishment, I can understand why very few people come here. It was not an inviting staff at all when we were seated we took our order. All the drinks came canned when we asked what was on the fountain. They told us all of them we all ordered, and yet all our stuff came in cans. We ordered a steak quesadilla, which had very little steak in it, and it was so tiny. The gyoza is a really good had good flavor, but they just weren't crispy like you're supposed to have a pan fried. The egg rolls were good, but there's hardly any filling loaded nachos were a disaster. A high school concession stand nacho has more toppings, flavor, and better presentation. We definitely will not be coming back here. read more

Service was impeccable! I enjoyed the atmosphere as well. Definitely a mix between Mexican and Indian. Watched the Niners beat the Seahawks on tv. Got two samosas and the steak quesadillas read more

The location was easy to find and had a few parking spots in front of the establishment. This caught my eye because of the Indo-Mexican fusion dishes. When I entered, the first thing I noticed was a bar and large TV depicting a game. There was a nice ambiance as well. I took a look at the menu and ordered at the counter before finding a seat. I went with the Bolly Rollo thinking I'd get a decent sized burrito. It came out within 10 minutes. I'm pretty disappointed with the burrito. I paid nearly $20 including tip for a burrito that left me hungry after eating. There wasn't as much meat. The burrito was wrapped using one chapati. I had two chutneys - tomatillo and cilantro/mint? - that overpowered the taste of the burrito. I would have appreciated some sides for how much I paid for the burrito. Not sure if I'll stop here again. read more

Tikka Tacos lives in what used to be New Wave Burritos (R.I.P.). Since we live in J-Town and it's a helluva drive, we decided to make that helluva drive to Tikka Tacos to check it out. It's been a number of years since we'd visited New Wave Burritos, but from what I recall it appears the colorful paint on the walls is still the same. Or maybe still as colorful, but re-painted in the same festive color scheme. Doesn't much matter, because the bright, vibrant colors add fun and character. I think I saw it was considered Indo-Mexican Fusion food, and while I never saw a mashup like that coming, I'm glad someone did. We were seated immediately and our server (whom I'm SURE I've seen somewhere before) came to give our menus and take our drink orders. The menu has patently Mexican items, patently indian items, and what I'm going to call Mashup Items. I immediately focused on the Bollywood Tacos. Consisting of chicken tikka and avocado filling Indian paratha flatbread with taco toppings added, I never knew such a thing was possible. Our server (whom I freakin' KNOW I've met/seen somewhere before, dammit) brought our food in less than 10 minutes. And. It. Was. Glorious. Oh, MAN, it was such an unbelievable taste experience. You can taste how good it is by the picture I'm posting. Imagine that. It's even BETTER! For a Friday it wasn't too busy (and that's OK), but the restaurant was very clean and table were taken care of as soon as customers left. For the bar they have a number of beers on tap, in bottles, and some select liquors for your mixing pleasure. The drive to Tikka Tacos is pretty significant from J-Town, but one I'm willing to make. I'm serious. This is a food mashup that everyone needs to try. read more

First rate! Don't lets the ambiance fool you, the food is incredible ! I was pleased in every respect.

We're so happy to find a place that blends Indian spices with tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. It's the perfect fusion if you're looking for something delicious and different for your meal out! I love the use of paratha for the desidilla (ironically, sometimes I have tacos at home with paratha too). I also tried their chicken tikka masala, it was alright. Not very flavorful. I probably won't get their Indian dishes going forward. The fusion ones are the way to go though!! read more

Ordered online for pick up for lunch one day! We tried the Bollywood tacos and the tikka masala with garlic naan. The Bollywood tacos is where it's at! Definitely the one to order!!! It's filling to just eat 1! (It comes with 2) Instead of a tortilla, it looks like they used paratha. And they added rice that had some nice spices in it, a deliciously seasoned chicken, pico, lettuce, and avocado. It's hefty! And with the sauces on the side, a salsa verde and something similar to a chutney, they added a nice spice to the tacos. The tikka was alright. Not the best I've had but I like that they offer both Indian food and Mexican food. Not bad if you want both for dinner! Parking kinda sucks over here. Only a few spots in front that back out onto the street. It wasn't busy during the day, but I can't imagine what a weekend is like! read more

I am a food snob. Food was delicious. Can't wait to go again. Lamb was flavorful and tender. Sauces on point. Indian tacos, all day.

Still a favorite Louisville food joint after a number of memorable visits--and in a more convenient format than some--notably, the Bollywood Tacos are a memorable signature dish (think chicken biryani on a lavash flatbread with some extra heat) that one must try. Their fusion dishes (Szeshuan Chicken) stand up to their traditional dishes (Tikka Masala). read more

We stopped in late on a Sunday night and this will now be a regular spot for us- Indian and Mexican fusion yes please. The flavors... I got the Bollywood tacos as suggested by Shawn and it will be hard to try anything else as they were amazing! The tacos you can choose 3- I nibbled on the steak, chicken and lamb- all fabulous! Late at night we got excellent service and the food was all amazing! Shawn was telling us about the menu and I'm sure we will be back ASAP! The hardest part will be deciding what to get next ... read more

The parking for this place is very challenging: at least around lunchtime. There are only a couple spots and the street is busy. The outside looks like a complete dive but inside it is spotless and the food is, well, as good as the best. Frankly, the combination of Indian and Mexican cooking skills presented me something that was better than either. The mango lasso was basically perfect and just the right size (plus not overly sweet). The fresh veggies were topping off perfectly cooked lamb in a homemade taco shell that was wonderful (it was flour based). The two green sauces were unique and delicious. The hotter one had a very interesting jalapeño flavor which is normally hidden by the heat. I have absolutely no idea how the chef has accomplished what I would describe as a culinary miracle of a lamb taco. I was basically disappointed by the gulab jamal: wish they had the ras malai. If I lived here I would beg for them to call me when they make it. I cannot recommend this place (which had very attentive but not bothersome staff) enough for a traveling foodie who appreciates unique quality experiences. read more

I'll admit I wasn't as eager as my husband to try Tikka Tacos. As much as I love Indian food and tacos, the infusion seemed like a stretch. That, or I was just struggling to accept that they opened in the former New Wave Burrito location. Nonetheless, I ordered the Bollywood tacos, knowing that they've been all the rave. Bollywood tacos are Indian flatbread topped with chicken, biryani rice, lettuce, pico de gallo and avocado. It's served with two sauces on the side. These tacos are enormous! The pico de gallo added a freshness that a typical chicken and rice meal often lacks. The flavors were bold and the sauces were hot. The flatbread made the whole taco concept work quite well. It was a good value for a generous portion. My only complaint was that if it had avocado, I couldn't find it. We did not dine-in, so I'll have to wait till next time to describe the ambiance. But, there will be definitely be a next time. read more

I know, I know. We've all mourned the loss of New Wave Burrito... but Tikka Taco is amazing! The manager is sweet as a button, come out to chat, is open and friendly and generous. In fact, we couldn't find tamarind sauce and he gave us a bunch for free! He's always working whenever we swing by. Definitely dedicated to making the business succeed - and definitely it worth supporting! PS: There's also a big ol' television with every sports game you can imagine (especially soccer and cricket) and they do drink specials during games. read more

This was an unexpected treat! We went off of 81 reviews and just under 5 stars and gave this little hideaway a shot! We are so glad we did! We flipped the menu over to the more Indian infused side and it did not disappoint! My husband got the Bollywood Tacos and I ordered the surf n turf. The flavors were excellent, all the food was fresh and tasty! And their sauces are all house made and very fresh! So good that I took the rest of my tomatillo salsa with me to put on my morning eggs. Wish I took photos of our meals but waited too long and our plates were clean! Great personal service too! My husband isn't as adventurous as me and he was well pleased! read more

Such a unique cuisine concept that absolutely works. Everything was delicious, and I knew from the first bite what was up. The paratha flatbread they used for the desidilla and bollywood tacos elevated the dishes and made it perfectly crispy and chewy. They have so many sauces on the side which im always a fan of. My favorites were the mint, guac, and spicy sauce.Overall everything was delicious, fresh, filling, and came out quickly. The service was great and I will definitely be back to this hidden gem. Looking forward to their new menu coming out in 2 weeks with more fusion options read more
