Tikka Shack Indian Grub — Restaurant in Owings Mills

I recently visited the newly opened Tikka Shack Indian Grub at 10290 Mill Run Circle in Owings Mills, and it’s a fantastic addition to the local dining scene. This fast-casual spot, which celebrated its grand opening in 16 July 2025, brings bold Indian flavors with a modern twist, perfect for both curry enthusiasts and newcomers to Indian cuisine. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with warm lighting and a clean, unpretentious setup that makes it great for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner. The staff were friendly and attentive, guiding me through the menu with enthusiasm, which I appreciated as someone who loves customizing spice levels. I started with the Biryani Wings, and wow, they’re a must-try! Crispy, perfectly fried, and coated in a unique biryani spice blend, they packed a flavorful punch that set the tone for the meal. For my main, I went with the Butter Masala Curry Bowl with chicken, which was creamy, comforting, and rich with just the right balance of spices. The ability to customize the spice level was a game-changer—I went medium, and it had a nice kick without overwhelming. The Garlic Naan on the side was soft, fluffy, and perfect for scooping up the curry. I also tried the Mango Lassi, which was smooth, refreshing, and just sweet enough to complement the savory dishes. For those looking for fusion options, their Naan Tacos (I had the Spicy Chicken Tikka Taco) are a fun twist, blending Indian flavors with a handheld format. The mango de gallo added a fresh, tangy touch. The menu shines with variety, offering vegetarian options like Malai Kofta and Chole Masala, plus halal meat and gluten-free choices, making it inclusive for different diets. My only critique is that the portion sizes, while satisfying, felt slightly small for the price, especially for the naan pizzas. That said, the quality and freshness of the ingredients more than made up for it. Tikka Shack’s Owings Mills location (right in the Mill Station shopping center, replacing R&R Taqueria) is a great spot for bold, approachable Indian food. Whether you’re grabbing takeout via Grubhub/Seamless or dining in, it’s worth a visit for a quick, flavorful meal. I’ll definitely be back to try the Paneer Makhani Pizza and more of their...

Hands down the best Indian food I’ve had in Owings Mills — every dish was bursting with flavor!

If you’re anywhere near Owings Mills and craving Indian food, you need to check out Tikka Shack. We dined in as a family and tried a huge variety of dishes — and honestly, everything was outstanding. We tried everything at house spice - there were addition levels of heat for those interested.

We had the Shrimp Coconut Tacos, Paneer Butter Taco, Tikka Pizza with chicken, Chicken Biryani, Mango Lassi, Ras Malai, Street Style Chaat (both the samosa and potato versions), Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, and Samosas. For drinks we had fountain coke, Maasa Lychee, and Tractor Orange Cadamon. Every dish had its own personality — from the bold spices to the fresh garnishes — and each one was delicious.

The restaurant itself is super clean with plenty of seating, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. We even ordered some extra to bring home for our lunches the next day! All in all - we all left happy and full!

Highly recommend this spot — it’s perfect for families, groups, or even takeout if you just want seriously good Indian...

We had such a wonderful experience at Tikka Shack Indian Grub this past weekend. Our day started with sunflower picking at Sunflowers of Lisbon in Maple Lawn, and afterward we were looking for a good lunch spot. We used to be regulars at Masala Wok in Fairfax VA which is now closed, and we were excited to learn they had another restaurant nearby. That is how we ended up at Tikka Shack and what a great surprise it turned out to be.

The food was absolutely amazing, flavorful, fresh, and perfectly prepared. We ordered a lot of different dishes to try and every single one was delicious. Even though the restaurant currently shows a rating of 4.2 with only 70 plus reviews, it truly deserves much higher in our opinion.

The staff was welcoming, the portions were generous, and the overall experience made our family lunch feel special. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic and tasty Indian food. We will definitely be...
