Amazing service!! We were checked on consistently throughout our meal, leaving us feeling very welcome. The food was gorgeous, ranging from the comfort foods like curry and rice to share plates like skewers and naan bread. Amazing environment very clean, beautifully done ambiance. Will most definitely be going back next time we're in Canberra, completely affordable and a nice walk from our accommodation. read more

Tikka Take - Goat naan - Indian Near Me - Canberra City, ACT

See all

Meat smelled. Chicken was raw. Poor service. Not going back. Don't recommend. Message to the New owners- do better!!

Amazing selection. Ordered the samosa chaat and butter chicken fries. The chaat was perfection, not sure what else to say. I would go back just for this. Butter chicken fries looked impressive and were pretty good but a lot of the fries were bare and the dish didn't come with enough sauce. Despite that, it was pretty good! Not joking about the selection, theres something for everyone, check it out. read more

Did not like Samosa chat : should be tangy. It was like eating samosa and chole with no chutneys. Basically it was not CHAT. Naan's : Too much maida taste , too chewy. Not sure if i want to try any Veg Dishes again at your place. Price should justify the taste. No one provided water on the table till end of meal. read more

We were in Canberra for a foodie weekend and whilst our friends decided to go to an expensive hatted restaurant for a degustation, we were looking for something cheap and cheerful. We found Tikka Take via a google search and we are so glad we did. Located in the centre of Canberra CBD, the friendly service and quality food proves you don't need fine dining to leave a restaurant happy and satisfied (nor with empty wallets). Tikka take could be described as a modern street food style restaurant. Order at your table via a piece of a notepad, press the table buzzer and presto, the waitstaff come. All the staff here were super friendly and helpful and extremely efficient. The menu here is predominantly Indian food but they draw on flavours from Central Asia and India, featuring some options from other countries such as Nepal. There's rice and curries, biryani, naan, Thali, chaat, paratha as well as Himalayan and Indo Chinese favourites. The menu is extremely extensive. There's kids options and desserts too. The word 'Tikka', after which the restaurant is named (also known as 'Teeka' or 'Teekka') refers to skewered pieces of meat cooked over fire. This technique is used around the world for kebabs, yakitori and in plenty of cultures' cooking. You can watch the chefs cook this way, as well as preparing curries and making dosa. We ordered a Thali, which is essentially a platter, arranged in multiple small plates, filled with a variety of items. Each Thali consists of 2 Curries of your choice, 1 Daal & 2 Naans of your choice accompanied by mini papadum, mini samosas, salad, raita, rice and gulab jamun dessert. This is such a great way to enjoy many of their dishes in a tasting style manner. For $30, it is also incredibly good value. We also ordered a South Indian Favourite, the Idly Sambhar, or round fluffy and steamed rice cakes served with a delicious lentil soup and a side of chilli and chutney. This was so delicious in every way, I actually ordered a second one. We would thoroughly recommend this restaurant and definitely plan to return next time. read more

so disorganised. just waited for 90 minutes for takeaway and ended up asking for a refund. too busy serving seated customers that ordered afterwards. don't get takeaway from here as you won't be a priority. read more

A good Indian fusion restaurant with good options for Chaat and great mix of north and south indian dishes. Butter prawn masala and rice was ok. The gravy was a tad too much for the rice served, and the prawns in it was a tad too less I will go back to try the other options they have. Looks like Chaat will be the best here. read more

What a great find! The food is beautifully presented and very very tasty. A big selection of different foods for all appetites and many good vegetarian options. Innovative in the way that the foods could be selected and paired. Generous portions. Staff were all young and enthusiastic and looked happy to be at work. Well done! Keep it up! read more

This restaurant was a great find in Canberra for Indian food... though I found the samosas a little too bready and not enough stuffing.. the main curry dishes were very nice with just the right amount of heat... staff is very helpful and energetic... nice trendy seating... read more

This place is really tasty! I had the butter chicken fries, they were really good. The manager was super nice as well. When I'm back in the area for work I will be back for sure!!! read more
