this restaurant was great! we got the tandoori chicken (left) and the chicken tikka boti (right). very flavorful and filling, the dishes came with a lot of rice! we also got the garlic naan and that was the perfect pairing. they even let us sample their rice pudding - so good! great local spot with a sweet family and good service to stop by when you are in the area or a quick 20 min drive down from sedona! you won’t be disappointed

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I went to Babu Tikka Masala (Tikka Masala meaning little pieces of meat, usually in a generous portion of sauce) with a girlfriend last night for the third time. Each time, the food was exceptional. The menu is varied and extensive, but now that I've tried the Butter Chicken, I don't know how I can venture into anything else because it is so incredible. Voluptuous comes to mind, a spicy liquid velvet sauce with tender pieces of chicken. The amount of meat is only perhaps 3 ounces, so if you're expecting a large portion of meat, you will be disappointed. But oh, the balanced use of SPICES, I could dream about it. Servers (family members) ask for your preferred spice level, which I appreciate, and note that their hot Indian spicy level is kind of like a Mexican medium level spice – not too hot, but definitively a nice little kick. The long green basmati rice is perfection, and we love the naan. Babu Tikka Masala is family owned and one of the better experiences I have had a late in a restaurant. Atmosphere is modest and I prefer the outside cute patio to the inside more stark feel. The heaters outside work beautifully and we were very comfortable when the temperature dropped below 60. Cannot recommend enough.

Ordered 8 monthes ago and it was great. Ordered yesterday and it was just awful. Curry was like broth soup. Meat not seasoned. $40 FOR TRASH. Doors locked when going to pick up order. Had to bang on the door.
