Tikka Taco — Restaurant in West Deer Township

We ordered the beef burrito, butter chicken melt, chili chicken, veg jalfrezi, paneer mutter, veg biriyani and garlic naan.

The beef burrito was loaded with lean ground beef rolled in a grilled house-made 12” flour tortilla served with a green salsa and sour cream on the side.

Interestingly, the long-grain rice appeared to be pressed and distributed at a 1/4” thickness across the interior of the tortilla…this thing is huge and eats more like a meat pie.

The description indicated beans, lettuce, tomato and cheese but alas, although I ordered the burrito “with everything,” I had to ask for these to be added once received.

Lettuce, tomato and cheese were an afterthought and rightly so as their presence contributed little to the experience. But surprisingly, the beans turned out to be nicely-spiced chick peas which were a delightful addition to the overall flavor of the dish.

I’m left wondering if the burrito would be the same if I ordered it again?

The butter chicken melt was served with really crispy-delicious hot french fries but the sandwich although massive, was filled with what appeared to be a homogenous raft of spicy red-colored meat which did not begin to approximate my previous experience of the original Butter chicken dish.

Lacking in chicken-chunk consistency and the customary sweet “buttery” flavor. It would be better to call it a spicy chopped Indian-style barbecue sandwich…a very large portion, but not at all what was expected.

I made the best of the Chili chicken by chopping it into small pieces and adding it to the biriyani. The spices were pleasant, but the consistency of the white meat chicken was tough, dry and above all seemed to be reheated.

Unfortunately, the same lack of freshness was to be found in the vegetable dishes.

Served marginally warm in togo containers (although we ordered and dined in), my bf was happy enough with the flavors to try Tikka Taco (as a call in order) another time. Though we will ask for a lower level of spice and forgo the somewhat hardened garlic naan in lieu of our own next time.

The huge serving of veg biriyani saved the day in terms of freshness, flavor and quantity. I am sorry to report that without this, the Chili chicken would have gone uneaten.

Lastly I must comment on the reviews which as of this writing, seem to extend over ten years ago.

I’m not aware of a connection between Sciullo’s 910 and Tikka Taco. Perhaps there is one that will I’m not knowledgeable about, but these older reviews seem to be about the restaurant previously located...

We stopped by for dinner because we were driving through the area, and the name sounded interesting. Nice comfortable dining area and lots of parking.

The menu was a little overwhelming with so many options. We decided on the butter chicken melt with fries and the paneer karahi. The paneer karahi was very tasty with a generous portion. But the butter chicken melt was absolutely delicious! Nice thick buttered bread with tons of chicken and cheese inside, and a side of piping hot fries. We really enjoyed this unique twist on a classic dish!

The prices were reasonable and the portions were good, we left fully satisfied and even took the 1/4 container of remaining gravy and lots of rice home with us.

One thing I would like to see change is that I wasn’t a fan of the takeout boxes and plastic cutlery for dine-in eating. This kind of took away from our experience and it was definitely difficult to dish out the food on our plates with the small spoons. It also seemed a bit wasteful for them to throw out all those single-use items afterwards. Though don’t get me wrong, I can completely understand that they are just starting out and trying to iron out all the details!

We were very happy with this unique restaurant and would love to come again, especially for the butter chicken...
