Tikka Masala Street Food — Restaurant in Arlington

We chanced upon Tikka Masala street food on our trip to DC. We chose this establishment for dinner and were a bit disappointed to find that they are a take-out restaurant only. They have a couple spots inside for standing room only eating. However, we were a family of 4 (2 young kids) and it was not practical for us to use the high ledge against the window for eating. However, they had a couple concrete kind of benches on either side of the door that we sat on and ate. It was raining the day we went but if it was not, there a couple picnic style benches where one can enjoy the food. Our disappointment of not having seating soon turned into delight when we received our food. Everything we ordered was really delicious ! It was raining and we had some piping hot chai along with Aloo tikki chaat, vegetarian momos, Bhel puri. The kids shared an order of White rice with Paneer in Shahi sauce. We shared with the lady at the counter that the food was really good. All the flavors were spot on and this is a must visit for anyone visiting the DC/VA area.

Yet, I forgot everything after trying their mango pizza. Wish I could give them a solid 5 star, but I guess this review will help them to increase the flavor for the pani puri (as least they should try by themselves to understand how disdainful...

Love it! Tasty street food, naan pizza, & bowls. Easy order ahead by phone. Obsessed w/their Chole (spiced chickpeas), Momo (steamed dumplings), & Aloo Tikka (potato fritters)! Mango lassi is refreshing. Not always descriptions on the menu, so it's worth stopping in to ask what's what. I didn't know what a lot was, but now a big fan. The fast-casual bowls are good for a Chipotle type alternative. Very fresh! Fair prices - decent servings, $10 for lunch, bit more with desserts & sides. Mostly takeout since barely any room to sit, tho there's the whole plaza...
