Food was flavorful. The spicy level was fire. The rice was perfectly cooked and I adore their garlic naan. It was thin and garlicky. We did takeout and the food was ready quickly. Telling our friends to check it out! read more

This is one of the tastiest spots I have found in Tucson and it's hidden where I would least expect it...inside of a convenient store! This spot is a true hidden gem. They dont have a super large menu but what they are serving up is tasty and traditional Indian dishes packed with so much flavor! We went with the lamb tikka masala and the butter chicken of course with naan on the side, plain and spicy garlic. The butter chicken was rich, creamy and delicious, and the naan was warm, soft and perfect for scooping up every last bite! I especially loved the spicy garlic naan. The vibe is super casual and because it's in a convenient store, you have options to grab anything else you may be craving :) the staff were nice and helpful as well. I am already planning my next stop! read more

Driving down Ajo, you'd never guess there's great Indian food inside a Chevron gas station. The only hint is a small sign that simply says "Indian Food." I ordered through DoorDash--Curry Chicken, Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan, and a Mango Lassi--and everything was delicious. The Butter Chicken especially stood out with its rich tandoori-flavored sauce that was perfectly sweet, savory, and buttery. The staff were very friendly, greeting me with a smile right away, and the service was impressively quick. The dining area was spotless, which is especially nice considering it's located inside a gas station. I just discovered this place, and it's definitely one I'll be coming back to for tasty, comforting Indian food. read more

Its in Chevron on Ajo, next to In n Out, across from 'Canes. Ambiance/Cleanliness-It's nice..tables set up, they bring you the food, easy to forget you are in a gas station....4 stars Service-excellent. I needed nothing, but if i had, the would have been on it. 5 stars Food-The wings were disappointingly bland ...and lacked texture. Vegetable samosas were on point. 3 stars read more

Scrumptious food! Eat in area very clean. Pleasant staff ***** Interesting place to people watch.

Liked it so much that I came back a week later. Solid food renditions. Nothing fancy, good food. Fast service. Nice service. It's attached to a Wyndham but is much better than you'd think a hotel restaurant would be. When I'm back in the area I will visit again. read more

One of the BEST food experiences I've had in a while ! This local favorite thrives on word of mouth business and offers up some delicious flavors . Inconspicuously tucked away inside chevron gas station ( who knew ?!) A variety of spice levels can be accommodated no problem . Plenty of Vegan & Vegetarian options . Tucson is full of Gems and this is definitely one of them . When you stop in make sure to take a moment and get to know Owner , Raj . He's an absolute pleasure . read more

The food is amazing. The service is super friendly. I usually get the tiki masala, garlic naan, and some fried things I can't remember the name if. It's awesome. I got at least 3 times a month read more

Really good basic North Indian Food. The ambiance is really great, not what you would expect in a gas station although this is a really nice station. Fast service. read more

The usual bane of Indian food in the U.S. persists -- tomato purée and cream-based gravies dominate the flavor profile. The butter chicken here is no exception: bland, lacking aroma from whole spices, and missing the essential tandoori preparation that gives it smokiness and depth. The chicken may have been pre-cooked or stale (which is acceptable for this dish), but it didn't taste like tandoori by any means. I haven't dined in -- this spot seems geared toward quick bites off the freeway rather than a full dining experience. Other menu items are similarly underwhelming, which unfortunately reflects the broader state of Indian cuisine across Tucson and much of the U.S. If you're hungry and craving Indian food, it'll do the job -- just don't expect anything memorable. This is standard Americanized Indian fare, nothing more. read more

So after eyeing this place every time we've been in that part of town, we finally decided to try it just as every street in the area is completely torn to sh*t. Haha. Compared with Sher-e-Punjab, our usual Indian eatery in Tucson, the Saag Paneer and Dal Makhani we had at Twisted were actually better both in texture and taste. The fella who took our order was also polite and attentive. And they give you an enormous container of fluffy white rice with each middling-sized entree. The downside is that for the pleasure, haha, of eating off paper plates with plastic utensils inside a cordoned off section of a gas station minimart, Twisted's prices are basically the same as Sher-e-Punjab. Plus Sher has a full bar, waiters, real dishes and flatware, a pleasant decor, etc. I guess it comes down to what you're after. If Twisted is convenient and your main goal is good Indian food, then take-out here is a good option. OTOH, if you're dining out, Sher-e-Punjab beats them hands-down. read more

Food ,service, and ambiance excellent! We pulled up to the gas station a bit surprised to see the restaurant was inside a chevron. They have a great set up clean tables and seating . Ordered the lamb tiki Marsala and garlic naan . Rice was cooked to perfection. Spice was on point. Portions were pleasing and still had some to take home . Thank you for a delicious hot meal and satisfied belly. read more

Expectations were low since i was at gas station. I cant begin to describe how flavorful my food was. My naan was warm and fluffy, the masala was seasoned to perfection and my samosas were moist and delicious. I just learned that great food can come out of the most surprising places!! 10/10 recommend! read more

I honestly wasn't expecting much. I came here on my lunch break. They give discounts to medical professionals and a few others that I can't recall. There is space to seat down but of course you are in a gas station so there's some in and out traffic. The service was polite and quick. They accept call in orders and orders for large groups. Great during the lunch hour. They gave me two utensils but one was opened. They also gave me two plates and I greatly appreciated that. The food was very good. The chicken was fantastic and full of flavor and garlic naan was very tasty. read more

Twisted Indian - Indian Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I have a list for places in Tucson with good Indian food and Twisted Indian is now on that list! So, it's in a gas station right off the westbound I-10 ramps for Ajo. I think that's hilarious, but there is no funny business about the food and service. There are a few tables set up and after you order at the counter they will bring the food right to your table. While we were eating, we saw quite a few to-go orders being placed and lots of phone-in and meal delivery service orders, too. The menu is just the right size, though I was disappointed to not see korma, but the Vegetable Samosas, Chicken Tikka Masala, Veg Biryani, Roti, Garlic Naan, Raita, and Kadai Paneer that we had were spot on and tasted wonderful. I especially liked the MangoLassi and I don't typically enjoy mango flavored anything. Put your reservations aside and step into this Indian Restaurant cleverly disguised as a gas station! read more

Indian food in a gas station? In Tucson?!?!! YES! I haven't had food like this since Mati's Express shut down. Great selection of items and LOTS of options for vegetarians. Lunch for 3 with an appetizer, roti/naan and three entrees was $80. And plenty of leftovers for at least two more meals. We had Chicken Tikka Massala, Chani Massala and Shahai Paneer. Flavors were rich and the portions large. The Roti and Naan were on the oily side, I'd probably stick with the rice next time. We ordered the chani massala spicy and it was delicious. Right in the sweet spot of kick and flavor. Mint and tamarind chutneys, not spicy, were available on request. You can buy your choice of beverage from the Chevron. Not the fanciest meal or location, but the food was so good I dug in before pictures. read more

I was doubtful. The door is WONDERFUL though. Had the Tikka Masala and chicken curry. Absolutely delicious!

Hidden gem indeed! This eatery is serving up delicious Indian food inside the Chevron of all places. It's quickly become THE favored place for take out amongst my husband and his colleagues who work nearby. The chicken tikka masala with naan is our go-to order. The food is flavor packed and always delicious. The portions are just right. Not quite oversized for sharing but filling for a solo meal. read more

I went here (with my co- foodie) on lunch Tuesday and I must say, this place is decent. We tried two chicken recipes, a fruity drink and hot chai for me. The servers were courteous and happy. Considering it is located inside a Chevron gas station (a first for me), the ambiance is acceptable at best. I came for the food! Check out my pics. Give them a try. What do you have to lose? 4.4 stars! read more

India heaven! If there is a word "twist" or "twisted" in the name of the business, it's the same family. It all started with the Twisted Tandoor food truck a very few years back. Great food truck! The owner decided to go brick and mortar, but while literally working on it, he suffered a heart attack and sadly passed away. The wife, nephews, nieces and other family members have taken up the tradition and now have, I don't know, four locations now. This is one of them in the Chevron gas station on Ajo, adjoining the In-N-Out lot. Even though it's in a gas station, there are tables and seating. The tikka masala is superb. I tried the butter chicken, which is like a tomato-y masala. It is equally superb! It's a coin toss as to which I'm going to get. The curry is excellent, too. I always order a mango lassi to drink. It is so good and I'm happy that my homemade lassi tastes just like it. The secret is using the right mango pulp. One occasion I took a fellow worker and she was excited to get a salted lassi, a different drink. She said it was really good and refreshing and I got a taste, and it was. I just prefer the sweet drink. I didn't care much for the twisted chicken wings. OK, but not great. But hey, I go there often for absolutely great food. I order medium hot, but I will definitely go for more hot as medium is pretty mild. And there is plenty of food, lasts me two or three meals. The service is great, very friendly, they take pride in what they do. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! read more

Twisted Indian - Seating area, 7 tables. - Indian Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

My second poor choice in a row! They're just like Zyka. If pepperoni had too much spice for you, this would be a great pick! The dishes we had were just cream. Even my spicy was sad milk. You can't make out all the other spices that should be in it! The naan had great flavor, and actually added heat to our food. However, the texture was like soggy tortillas. The rice was rice. Not as bad as rice I've left in the back of my fridge and dried out, but not as good as other Indian places. read more

So I gave a five because the food was SO damn good. But originally I was going to give a four because I tried to order the chicken tikka pizza, which I saw on the online menus, and then they said the menu had changed I got regular chicken tikka masala instead and it was the best I ever had. They let you choose your spice level (I got spicy of course) and I was in love. Comes with rice too. I do not at all care that it is in a gas station, I got it to go. read more

Located within a gas station convenience store, the food is cooked on spot & is tasty & excellent.

The glowing reviews for this place have got to be fake. Prices are high, servings are small, service is slow, and the food is gross. They're ignoring all the recipes. Will not return. read more

Hands down the best Indian food in town. The flavors are rich, authentic, and perfectly spiced. You can tell everything's made fresh, from the buttery naan to the tender chicken tikka.

Wonderful food! Friendly service! The portions were decent too. Our favorite was the chicken tikka masala. So good!! Highly recommend this little place read more

This place is in a gas station so not much ambiance lol. The service is very fast though. I got the chicken tikki masala. It came with rice and was good. I also got the garlic naan. Won't lie, it tasted like cleaning stuff ‍ like maybe they cleaned the grill they cooked it on and forgot to get it all off before cooking again. I didn't eat it. I likely won't be back because it wasn't as good as other places in town and the price was similar as other places as well read more

Twisted Indian - Indian Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Food is good. Gas station Indian; what's not to love. Friendly place; tasty food; some of the best in areas. Good spice

I don't know what I expected but indeed this is an Indian restaurant in a gas station where you would expect to find some kind of "Pizza2Go" or something at the back of the quickie mart. And the food was, without hyperbole, outstanding. I ordered the Paneer Tikka Masala as hot as they were willing to make it and it delivered (spice fans take note). The gravy was full of visible spices and even a little chunk of bay leaf. It was creamy, a little decadent, and flavorful with just the slightest hint of acidity (brightness). I am not sure how this could be improved. Like I wouldn't change a thing. I also ordered some vegetable samosas which were great! This is one of the strangest but most pleasant surprises I have encountered in Tucson. There are a lot of fancier places which aren't anywhere as good. There are some tables to sit down if you want to eat there. I got mine to go. I will definitely be returning. If you don't live nearby it is worth the drive and easy to get to. read more

This place is really good. Have no idea why anyone would write a negative review. Excellent Indian food and in a gas station! As a veteran of Oklahoma Joes was not intimidated by gas station food and this place did not disappoint. Do not believe the negative reviews and try it out. Value (B+) Prices are on par with what you would expect at a traditional sit down Indian restaurant and food is served on paper plates so I am knocking them a bit for Value. Plan on spending around $20 to be full. Service (A-) So the owners are super nice and the staff is super friendly. The food comes out pretty quick. They bring it to your table and clean up after you. You do need to order at a counter. Also the free water is self service. It is not an A plus because (1) it was my wife's birthday and they did not acknowledge it (2) the owner struggled with packing up our leftovers. (3) tried to upsell me off menu items (pet peeve of mine since I know they margin drivers) Note if the prices were not on par with sit down restaurants I would not mind. But since they are choosing to charge the same prices my expectation of service increases also. Quality (A) The food is really good. The quality of the food is on par with any sit down nice Indian restaurant in any decent sized city. You will be impressed with the quality. I was blown away with the chicken wings - they exceed my expectations. All the items were really good and it was fun watching them make the garlic naans. We had the vegetable samosas, chicken tikka masala, twisted wings, Daal, garlic naan and regular naan. All the main course items come with rice. Ordering any of these and you would be disappointed. Just go try this place out you will not be disappointed. If you have never been to Indian order the chicken tikka masala - mild spice and garlic naan. Turn up the spice level if you are more adventurous. read more

We thought we went to the wrong location and drove around the building three times! This restaurant is inside the gas station convenient store. We were initially taken aback but we decided our group of 6 was up for the adventure. So glad we did! Every dish we had was great and the portion sizes were very generous. There is no ambience unless you need to grab a fountain drink and a beef stick (-; but food was remarkably fresh. read more

Ordered Takeout. Good flavor for their dishes, however could use a higher protein to sauce ratio. Dishes could use a little more salt.

Nestled in a Chevron gas station, this place CANNOT be missed. I've ordered takeout from here a few times now, and it has never disappointed. I'm basic and always order the paneer tikka masala with garlic naan on the side. It's perfectly creamy and acidic. The paneer chunks are thick and very satisfying! I've introduced a few of my friends to this place as well, and it's always a hit! Customer service is great. The staff are always friendly! read more

Twisted Indian - Paneer tikka masala for a quick work lunch! Great portion sizes! - Indian Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This place has great food and friendly service! Their chicken biryani is my favorite!

Just try it already! Yes, it's in a gas station. Yes, you're eating on paper plates with plastic utensils. Get over that and enjoy a delicious meal with surprisingly great ambiance. Glad I took the chance and tried it. Owner very friendly and service is wonderful to top it all off. This is now a regular spot when we're on this side of town. Bravo. Also worth noting, not the same restaurant as Indian Twist on Ft Lowell. Same family, different recipes and flavors! read more

This place is inside the gas station.. we drove around it at least twice before figuring it out. The food was ac pretty good. The mango lasso was a good portion and tasty. Samosas were quite good. The butter chicken was a bit too sweet, but ok.and the garlic naan was good and a large portion. Ambiance wasn't great being inside the gas station, but I guess it works for them. They seemed to have a good carry out business. read more

Who would have thought a restaurant inside of Chevron Station.. But it's true.. Great food and naan.. and service with a smile
