We ate chicken tikka masala and were underwhelmed. Not much sauce, some questionable pieces of chicken, and we weren't able to adjust the spice level. A disadvantage for my non-spicy wife (well - she's spicy in other ways but I digress...). Anyway, not highly recommended.
Solid Indian street food at Fenway. Both the Wow! Vada Pav and the Rowdy Chilli Chicken were packed with flavor, hot spice-wise and temperature-wise, and appropriately portioned. The one major drawback was that both items were very salty. Thankfully, the flavors made up for that
If you are craving Indian food but looking for a fast casual build your own bowl Chipotle like experience where you don't have to spend a small fortune then Wow Tikka checks the box. The chicken bowl was quite tasty and I enjoyed the variety of add ons that I could put into my order. Decent portion size for the price as well.
A quick to go casual place for Indian Cuisine mixed in with a few restaurants in the Fens. Wow Tikka is great for something quick and easy. I stopped on by one of the nicest and coolest days this summer and even ate outside. Literally the perfect day! Now back to the food. I tried the build a bowl with basmati rice and paneer and lamb kofta which was yummy. My friend got the chicken tikka which was two chicken legs and was $10 which felt kind of pricey but idk man. Not too busy because it was a smaller spot however a ton of to go orders coming in and out. It's a nice little spot to give the fens/fenway area a bit more options apart from all the burgers, pizza and seafood.

Wow Tikka is a wonderful addition to the Fenway area and offers fast casual Indian food takeaway with customization, which is somewhat of a rarity in Boston. There have been a few others that I can think of that were similar in style, but they didn't stand out as much as I wanted them to be successful. The restaurant itself is small with a few tables and more of a grab and go place. I love the concept of customizable bowls as this approach creates unique flavor combinations, but as much as I liked it, I would not replace this with the traditional Indian restaurant experience. When I arrived, it was one of the coldest and windiest days of the year so there were only a handful of customers. Parking wasn't that bad as long as you park along the perpendicular side streets and not on the main street which was mostly resident permit parking. The staff were upbeat and patiently offered recommendations for us visiting for the first time. They even let us sample the fillings/proteins as well as the variety of sauces. I ended up getting a bowl with their biryani rice (highly recommend despite the extra cost) as well as chana and chicken. They only charged me for the more expensive option even though I chose 2 fillings and the portions were huge! If you're worried about skimpy portions, have no fear. This place will have you in a food coma if you manage to finish it in one sitting. Otherwise, enjoy the price of one for two meals! I also tried their lamb which has a nice spice to it, but the chicken and chickpeas were delicious and bursting with flavors/spices. The sauteed veggies, toppings, and dressings were plentiful as well. I enjoyed the variety of sauces they had to offer, which all have different spice levels noted on their menu board. I tried the Madras Curry as well as the Nutty Khorma, both of which added a nice depth of flavor to the overall bowl. The only knock I have is that because it is like a Chipotle style bowl, everything is mixed so it can be hard to distinguish the flavors of each individual component. The bowl can be quite spicy for the average Joe, but I enjoyed the level of spice and also had a Mango Lassi and a Cold Madras coffee which were sweet and creamy to cut through some of the spice. Overall, I would come back again because they also have a variety of street food that I wanted to try, but I'd probably need to share with someone else given the size of their bowls. If you're in the area and want to experiment with a variety of Indian flavors at an affordable price, then this is the place for you!
This is a small cozy place with great food. I was looking for something light but Indian and came across this place. It's a mix of chipotle kind of construct ( made to order bowl or burrito) but also has the regular Indian street food.. the chats and the pavs. I ordered a chicken taco, yeah the Indian version of the popular Mexican dish. Loved the taste and texture. I also had a vada paav with masala chai. Mmm yummy all the way! Loved it and will certainly return next time I am in Boston.
Awesome spot! If you are looking for a healthy and delicious way to enjoy Indian food, you might want to try a modern health Indian bowl. This is a bowl that contains a variety of ingredients, such as rice, beans, vegetables, protein, and sauces, that are inspired by Indian cuisine. You can customize your bowl according to your preferences and dietary needs. Modern health Indian bowls are a great way to enjoy the flavors and benefits of Indian food without compromising on nutrition or taste. The bowls here are packed with so much flavor from sweet to spicy all in one place. Service was excellent. They have a few tables indoors and outdoors. Indoors is comfortable with AC and Indian music playing in the background. Parking can be challenging here but it is next to a bunch of awesome food options on the strip.
For fast casual Indian food, this is the place to go! So many options and such a reasonable price for a large quantity of flavorful food. Limited seating inside, but quite a bit outside if the weather is nice out. Will totally return here when I'm in the Fenway area!
My second time here, the first time was for a Yelp Elite event. Great experience both times! Vibe: Small cafe, indoor and outdoor seating available. Service: Very good! They let us sample the sauce options before choosing. Food: I got a build your own bowl both times I came and both were delicious! Very hearty food, fresh, quality ingredients, I especially loved the chickpeas, chicken, beets, and the carrot slaw. The mango lassi was delicious! Value: Menu prices were very on point, about $10 + extra for certain proteins for a pretty loaded bowl. Both times I went in hungry and ended up full with a portion leftover to eat later. Other: There is limited 2 hour parking in front (metered) and some free 2 hour parking in the surrounding streets Overall would definitely recommend, good value for good food with good service, this place is 10/10
If I have to think of 1 thing I don't like about Wow!! Tikka, it would be the distance. I'm sad that this place is not right next door to me. Tucked in a residential area near Fenway Park is this gem! I love how you can pick and choose your base, proteins, sauces, and toppings. It is quick, casual, and super yummy. Those meatballs are addictive but the entire meal itself is beyond fulfilling. Definitely a must visit!
I feel like it's so hard to find casual Indian food and this restaurant offers a modern take on fast Indian food! This restaurant is in the Kenmore/Fenway area and when you enter, there's a chipotle-esque style area where you can make your own bowl or wrap. There's other menu items on top of that too! The service is quick and effienct. For food, we got a bowl, naan pizza, vada pan (spiced potato fritter sandwich), samosas. The bowl has so many customizable options so it's perfect for someone who is unsure what to get. I got it with paneer and lamb, different veggies and sauces, and it was delish! The flavors kinda got mixed together too much where it was hard to distinguish but overall good. Naan pizza was surprisingly good- crisp dough, good chicken, but still wish there was a bit more flavor. Vada pan was unlike anything I've had. I think it would've been better on its own and I think they went overkill with the spice. the actual patty was flavorful and aromatic.
This is a great fast-casual spot with good quality food, affordable prices, and extremely kind staff. The portions are large for the build-your-own which start at $9.99. You can either get a wrap, salad, basmati rice, or brown rice and quinoa. The vegetarian fillings include aloo and chana but you can also get other proteins like chicken ($2), meatballs ($2), lamb ($4), paneer ($1), or veg kofta ($1) for an extra cost. They have various sauces, cold toppings, and chutneys that you can add as well. I tried their chicken and chana with tikka masala and spicy vindaloo sauce. The chicken was very moist and both sauces were super flavorful! My server was generous with the amount of rice, chicken, and chana he gave me. For my toppings I got their cucumber and tomato salad which was fresh and crispy. It is very difficult to find lunch/dinner options under $15 these days. You can tell that the employees are super proud of their food. Wow Tikka is such a great addition to the neighborhood!
WOW. Just WOW. This spot is a MUST visit and truly one of the best restaurants I've been too - period. We got a chicken bowl with mango lassi. I've been to many Indian restaurants and wow - every bite was savored. The bowls are HUGE (can feed two!) and their veggies and meats/sauces are so very flavorful. Every bite was refreshing, healthy, flavorful, and unique. The price is also SO shockingly cheap. If I lived in Boston, I'd be here multiple times a week. Do yourself a favor and visit!!
The name of this restaurant says it all WOW! We were at a late concert at House of Blues and missed dinner before the show. We saw this restaurant on Yelp and it is walking distance from Fenway Park. The staff is amazing and helpful in breaking down the menu options. The food was fresh, flavorful, and abundant for the price. The most amazing part is they are open till 2 am. We will be back with friends. Loved Wow Tikka!!! read more

Great place if you want a quick casual but delicious meal, this is the Indian version of restaurants like Chipotle, Dig, Cava. Each bite is definitely flavorful and you can get a lot of different yummy toppings! The bowls are so colorful too and overall just yummy. Also don't sleep on the Lassi! Parking might be a little hard, but plently of seating indoor and out read more
The bowls trend goes Indian. Surprisingly delicious! I wasn't sure how flavors like tikka masala would go all the usual veggie toppings plus some unique ones like carrot slaw and shredded beets, but I liked it! They also let you sample all the sauces. I went half and half for a base of salad greens and brown rice w/ quinoa, and again for proteins - the veg ones of kafta (balls like falafel) and paneer were good, though the kafta was not totally mild (I had asked for everything but this to make sure I was getting nothing spicy). Gianna (chickpeas) is the other veg protein. The staff were very friendly and helpful, patiently asking if I wanted each of the toppings and sauces (there's a lot!). read more

Was excited to try the newest addition to the neighborhood, and Wow Tikka didn't disappoint! It's a casual space with both tables and window seating. I ordered a bowl with basmati rice, chicken, and khorma. There are additional toppings and sauces so I pointed at a few that looked appetizing. I also asked for a cup of water, which the cashier brought over to our table after we sat down. It'd be nice for the bowl options to be labeled clearly, but that's my only complaint. The food tasted very fresh and flavorful. I appreciate that there are different options for different spice tolerances as well. The service was friendly, and an employee even came up to ask us how our meal was. This was my first time having fast casual Indian food, and it makes me wonder how this isn't more common. I enjoyed my meal, but with so many options just on Peterborough St. alone, I'm not sure it'd be my top choice. Regardless, I'd happily tag along if any of my friends wanted to try this place out! read more

Quick, convenient, kind staff, and DELICIOUS. What more can you ask for? I ordered a bowl and it was filled to the brim with delicious Indian food. The employees were super welcoming and helpful, especially because this was my first time here. I got a chicken and aloo bowl with tikka masala and a bunch of toppings. Their concept is like any other build your own bowl restaurant and I love how customizable it is! There are also lots of options to choose from! Come check this place out! You will not be disappointed :) read more
Such a good Indian fast food spot in Fenway! We came here on a snowy weekday and the employees were so accommodating and helpful in introducing their toppings/sauces/bases. I felt like I had a great understanding of all my options, and I ended up so happy with my choices! I feel like you can't go wrong with any combos here. We even got complementary warm chai, perfect for the cold day. They have so many options, I would absolutely come here again for an easy lunch or dinner! read more
Came here and got the BYO burrito and bowl. The loaded fries looked soooo good but I was too full. Some of the friendly staff ever also. Super fairly priced too. It was small inside but there were a few tables to sit. Great experience! read more

I ordered Wow Tikka on UberEats and I would definitely recommend! They were actually running a Buy One, Get One Free special on a bunch of the dishes, so I decided to try some of those out. The tandoori chicken was delicious, although I'm sure it would have been even better served hot. The chicken was cooked nicely and had a good flavor to it, and even came with a bit of sauce on the side. I was impressed by the bowl, which was customizable. Since I already ordered the chicken, I opted for a vegetarian bowl, which included potatoes and chickpeas. The potatoes were delicious, although a bit greasy. I really enjoyed the sauce on the chickpeas as well. Definitely a cool alternative to the Mexican and Greek bowls I've tried from other fast casual places. read more

Such a good Indian spot! Wow Tikka's unique menu puts a fun, modern spin on classic Indian flavors. The Desi loaded fries were incredible, I'm literally still drooling over them, and it's so fun to be able to build your own bowl. I did chicken and chickpeas and was able to put tikka masala and vindaloo sauces on top- like where else can you combine those? Highly recommend this spot for a new take on Indian food. read more

A great fast-food hole in the wall restaurant in Fenway. Perfect to grab a quick bite. My friends and I come here after workouts perfect recovery food. It reminded me of an Indian Chipotle. There were plenty of options. My favorite was the tikka masala rice bowl. The only minor issue I had was that the sauce is where the bulk of the flavor comes from. Meaning some bites taste more bland than others. read more
Came here for a Yelp elite event and was blown away at how simple and tasty the food is. Think chipotle style fast food Indian. The staff were incredibly nice as I took my time and explained everything that was offered. The amount of food can feed me for two meals! I love all the toppings and veggies that are offered. Feels like this is a healthy meal read more

Wow Tikka was exceptional! Starting from the time we walked in and we're immediately greeted. Acknowledgement when you walk into an establishment is huge in my book and we received a genuine friendly welcome. Then into the food - Wow is a good description. The person helping us explained how the bowls were made and the multiple choices were described and samplings offered to help us make our decisions. I chose the half chicken half paneer with tiki masala and coconut curry, mint chutney sauce on top. jy mouth was alive with delicious flavors. I highly recommend and will be going back this week already lol. Great food, love the build your own bowl style. read more

I visited wow!! tikka about a month after it opened, and it's safe to say I'll be back sooner rather than later. The perfect takeout spot and super well located within the Fenway neighborhood - I have no doubt this is going to be a huge hit among the many students that live right around the corner! The food is so clearly made with love - and with the freshest ingredients! I spoke with the owner during my visit, and he was able to tell me every ingredient of every dish I got to try. He spoke with pride and for good reason - it was some of the best Indian food I've had in a long time! My #1 favorite here was definitely the chicken & chana whole wheat wrap. Every bite had a mouthwatering combination of chicken, chickpeas, a perfectly proportioned spice blend, pickled onions, and mango sauce. The portion was generous (I had half for lunch and the other half for dinner the next day - it kept perfectly fresh!) but not overdone. Perfect for an on-the-go meal! The cold madras coffee was also delicious - it's a sweet chicory flavored beverage that had the richest chocolatey undertones. Such a unique, delicious flavor buzz - if anything, I'll definitely be coming back for this drink! Thanks to wow!! tikka for such a great visit. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a healthy, flavorful on-the-go lunch or dinner in the Fenway area! read more
