Tikka Shack Indian Grub — Restaurant in Rock Hill

I went to this establishment when it first arrived here in RH and the service was spectacular. However, my 2nd time going to this restaurant was on December 7th 2024 and I had a not so pleasant experience with the female cashier. I placed my order, handed her my money from my hand to hers and in return of handing me my change she placed my money on the counter for me to pick up!!! BIG RED FLAG!!! I'm not sure what her issue was but it left a sour taste in my mouth to the point I will not return to their establishment. It's crazy how other cultures can come to the United States and not learn our customs and how and what is rude but the other cultures expect Americans to know their customs when visiting their country. Get it together people. If I hand u my money DO NOT EVER DISRESPECT ME OR ANY1 ELSE BY PLACING THIER MONEY ON THE COUNTER FOR THEM TO PICK UP AS IF THEY ARE DIRTY OR BENEATH YOU. Do better for yourself. I WILL NOT BE BACK FOR SURE!!! Because of your actions is exactly why you did not receive a tip!!!!

To further expand on your reply, whomever you are, yes, if it were a non-indian individual I still would have given the same response. So please do not speak for me bc u do not know me. I do the same for all walks of life, even my own as an African American individual. It was a very rude gesture and I witness these types of behavior from a great deal of Non-American individuals. As I stated previously, DO BETTER AS A WHOLE!!! Have a nice day. No need for me to reach out to whomever u listed bc I WILL NOT BE BACK!!! If you are truly going to investigate, I came in around 4pm on December 7th close to 5pm so check your cameras and you will see which member of your staff that had such a...

We came here for the first time and the atmosphere was nice. The food was good, it had a nice spice level to it. Ordered from the menu and I had like a potatoes chicken curry dish like a Goya and it was more earthy then the butter curry that my husband had ordered which was butter Masala. The garlic Naan was really good would make a perfect pizza. We came with a party of four. The wait time for us wasn't but like 10 minutes but saw other parties waiting on a Friday evening which restaurant seemed to only be busy with to go orders. The only thing I would say is portion sizes are small and alot of rice versus protein, and the containers they serve it in tend to soak up the curry sauce so you better eat fast. Will be back but only if eating...

I am blown away but how consistently great Tikka Shack's food is, and how solid of a concept the restaurant is in general. Let me start by saying that I love Indian food, and if there was a Tikka Shack near me it would be where I would take everyone that wanted to try Indian food for the first time. Naan tacos? Man c'mon, that's genius and totally delicious, and also a very accessible way to get an idea for some of the flavors that Indian cuisine has to offer.

I won't get into how "authentic" it is, simply because that's a pretty tasteless thing for a white man to do, but I will say the food is absolutely amazing, reasonably priced, and served by friendly folks.

For the 4 months I'll be in Rock Hill, this will be a very frequent...
