Tikka Shack Indian Grub (Now Open//Delivery Only) — Restaurant in Tempe

I want to start out by saying that the flavor of the butter chicken and tikka masala was good. However everything else leaves much to be desired. We spent about $100 on all the food we ordered. The Naan had a bit of a sour taste to it. I love Garlic Naan but this just wasn't it. The rice was delicious as were the kebabs and the butter chicken and tikka masala had a good creamy flavor to it. It wasn't too spicy but it did have a nice kick to it. We also ordered a Naan pizza and it was awful. If you order delivery definitely skip it. It arrived cold which ofc is not the restaurants fault but it was also burnt and I mean the edges were black and could be broken off like a hard cookie. We ordered it for a toddler, needless to say it was not eaten and I don't blame him. The portion sizes are also ridiculous for what you're paying for.. I mean my spouse got like 6 pieces of diced chicken for his entire meal and I'm not talking about big pieces either. They're less than an inch in size. Think roughly the size of a water bottle cap. The thing is there are many Indian restaurants who can offer the flavor this restaurant does and many would probably do much better with a much bigger portion size too. Personally for me I'd skip this place and find something worth the money. I'm giving it a 2/5 for the flavor of the tikka and butter chicken but really that's being generous. Try a more authentic...

I must have some bad karma to pay because I ended up with bland Indian food. I ordered the Chicken Tikka, Garlic Naan and Sauted Mixed Vegetables, total cost $24.20 (tip included). The Tikka had the "frozen food" aftertaste, and the portion was mostly the yogurt sauce, I requested it to be extra Spicy, It mostly tasted like yogurt with a tiny tiny bit of spice and orange food coloring. The naan was probably the better part of the meal and the mixed vegetables were definitely from a frozen bag that you can microwave.

I could forgive the food if it had not taken 55 minutes to be ready. I ordered at the location and the text confirmation said 15 to 20 min for it to be ready. Long story short, it killed the lunch hour. I realize this is a small business doing its best, but sometimes it's best is just not...

Missed the bar of expectations. I’ve ordered from the other location closer to Scottsdale, and it was delicious. Today I ordered the same things from the Tempe location, and they were so far off the mark. Chicken tikka masala was bland, the tomato base was all the flavor, no curry, or spice flavors were present. It was hardly palatable. Chicken tikka pizza was dry, brittle, and otherwise bland. Masala fries were also bland and bare. Overall 2/10 experience. I will give the location I originally tried one more shot before I give up completely on this chain. I was so...
