TIKKA EXPRESS — Restaurant in Edison

I just had the most ridiculously amazing late lunch experience at Tikka Express in Edison, New Jersey, on route 27, and I'm still reeling from the flavor bomb that just hit me. As I stepped inside, I was struck by the sleek, open, and spotless interior, complete with plenty of tables to lounge around and savor your meal, because let's be real, you're going to want to linger. The ambient music was the perfect accompaniment, and the quiet TV added a touch of subtle entertainment, because who doesn't love a little Bollywood with their butter chicken? The interior design is truly stunning, but let's get to the good stuff - the food. Their menu is a veritable treasure trove of Indian delights, catering to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike, because they're not here to judge. Today, I indulged in the ultimate comfort food - butter chicken, or Murgh Makhani, extra spicy, paired with a chili garlic naan that was comparable to the size of the moon, because I have a big appetite and an even bigger love for carbs. I think they underestimated my spice tolerance, but they still managed to bring the heat, and I'm not mad about it. The dish was saucy, with generous helpings of chicken that was probably tandoori-cooked to perfection, all served with a dollop of chutney to help everything go smoothly, because let's be real, you can never have too much chutney. It was a truly luxurious experience, transporting me back to my childhood days growing up near the Punjabi area of Iselin, NJ, where the smell of spices and naan bread wafted through the air and made my stomach growl with anticipation. The service was lightning-fast, and the gentleman at the counter was courteous, friendly, and a pleasure to chat with, because good customer service is the key to my heart. I'm already counting down the days until I can return and try one of their kofta or tandoori specialties, because I'm a glutton for punishment and I need more of that...

Nestled in Route 27 lies a culinary gem that promises a feast for the senses. We had the distinct pleasure of sampling a myriad of delectable dishes, each more enticing than the last. The chicken biryani was a symphony of flavors, with fragrant basmati rice and succulent chicken, artfully blended with a melange of spices. The garlic naan was a delight, boasting a perfect balance of crisp exterior and soft, chewy interior, infused with the subtle yet tantalizing essence of garlic. The dal tadka was a revelation, with its velvety smooth texture and vibrant undertones of tempered spices.

Rajiv is the embodiment of exceptional hospitality and his staff mirrored his passion for excellence. It is rare to encounter such dedication to customer service,

In summary, we highly recommend this establishment for those seeking an unforgettable culinary adventure, where delightful cuisine and unparalleled service converge to create a truly...

I was so pleasantly surprised with the quality, taste and quantity of food for such a decent price at this place. We ordered vegetarian and non vegetarian tiffin and it was so so nice from so many respects. I searched for a place where I could have lunch with my family and chose this one based on google comments. I was not disappointed. Initially I was skeptical as this was first time here. I had no other option as it was already late and we were getting hungrier on our way to home and we had to drive for another 30 mins. But my risk paid off and the food quality and quantity went beyond my expectations. I found the place pretty nice and clean. The front desk guy was quite decent. I wanted to dine there but they didn't have a facility to wash hands. They told me it is more a take away place. So, I decided to take away the order and drive my home to have lunch there. All of us were very happy with the lunch at home. I will order more if I...
