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.

Excerpts

Been waiting to try Tikka Shack and boy, we were not disappointed! Thrilled to know they are open till 11 pm and that we can now get authentic Indian food after 9:30pm without having to travel all the way to Edison. First, the service was outstanding! Ahmed took our order and explained our options suggesting dishes and drinks. He shared a $2 off discount special for the Shrimp Coconut Curry tacos which by the way were AH MAA ZING! ...By far the Best shrimp tacos I have ever eaten! 💯 The food was flavorful with just the right amount of spiciness. 🔥😋 We LOVE Indian food and tend to get really excited when ordering. We had the Street Style Chaat,👍 Shrimp Coconut Curry Tacos, 👍Spinach Masala, 👍Malai Kofta, 👍Garlic Naan and 👍Tiramisu for dessert! 😜 👉Already looking forward to our next visit! 💯 Definitely give this new spot a try. #naannation We look forward to going to Tikka Shack. The staff is always welcoming and we are beginning to explore new dishes.

Stopped by today for a quick lunch break and the food was so fresh and amazing. It’s a nice, clean restaurant with a beautiful interior. I personally met the owner today; he was so kind and generous. I will definitely visit again!!!

Had a craving for some Indian food and found Tikka Shack and ordered a late dinner for pick-up on a Thursday at around 8. It's probably not the most authentic with their French fries and naan pizzas, but I wasn't mad at it. They had a discount on some of the pizzas, so we ordered a couple of those. We had: -Paneer Makhani Pizza (spicy Malai sauce, thin sliced paneer, mozzarella, hot peppers, tomatoes, and dried methi leaves) - very good but also be careful with the jalapenos because some of them were very spicy! -Tandoori Chicken Pizza (Tikka sauce, fresh mozzarella, Tandoori chicken, red onions, fresh jalapenos, and cilantro) - I'm torn between which one I liked better because I really liked the tikka sauce here but I do also love paneer. Maybe they could do a mash up of these two -Chicken 65 (chicken stir-fried with chilis and curry leaves with a spicy red hot yogurt sauce) - the flavor was good but the chicken was a bit dry -Masala Fries (loaded fries doused with tikka masala, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, covered in sweet and spicy spices) - this sounds good in theory but since we did pick up, everything was soggy. If you're going to order this, see if you can get the sauce on the side. It did come with extra sauce though, which I appreciated - and we ended up dipping everything in that -Samosas (two crispy pastries stuff with potatoes, peas, and secret spices. Served with a tamarind + mint chutney) - these were huge! I loved the tamarind + mint chutney. We also ended up dipping everything in this sauce, so see if you can get extra of it If you're looking for classic/authentic Indian food, this isn't it. But if you're looking for fun fusion Indian fast food, then this is a great option. Will definitely order again! They also have tacos, and I wouldn't mind a chicken tikka masala taco right about now.
