Tikka — Restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga

Tikka Bowl is a fantastic take on Indian-Greek-American fusion. They make amazing food and provide a unique menu that really puts them ahead of the curve. I was surprised with their offerings in terms of the depth and breadth of the menu as well as how good the food was. All of the food I had was made to order and not put on the grill or pulled out of the cold table until it was being prepped for my order.

There are 2 reasons why they don't get 5 stars. The first is that I came about 45 minutes before closing and it was clear that they tried to prep as little as possible for my order, including squeezing a sauce bottle to death and skimping on sauce so they wouldn't have to make more/refill it. Secondly, all of the ingredients looked and tasted fresh except the lettuce which I watched them pull out of a pre-mixed bag. As good as the shawarma style lamb was, it couldn't mask the pesticide tasting, low effort lettuce they topped my naan tacos with.

With little effort, they could take Tikka Bowl to a 5 star experience and I thin this place has crazy potential.

I ordered on grub hub two months ago at the Victoria Gardens location and I waited an hour for my food and went to go pick it up since it’s progress wasn’t moving so I planned to reach there by the time Grubhub said my order would be ready. I waited in front of the cash register for twenty more minutes there wasn’t anyone there. A blonde dude came out of the back finally and he asked me what I wanted. I told him I was there for a grub hub order and his eyes popped he checked the tablet. He then told me that he didn’t check the orders that were coming in and that he didn’t have anything ready it was so late that grub hub started calling the store even as I was waiting and he didn’t answer the phone. He also looked really high. I had thirty minutes left until me and my friend had to go to work so I told him to cancel the order because I didn’t have time. I waited a total of an hour and a half for food I never received. I went to work hungry and didn’t get to get till 10 hours later. Hire better people because I always have a problem when I give you guys a chance again...
