This place is on Uber Eats as Tick-Tock Tikka House. It was horrible! My order was missing my garlic naan. The Chicken Tikka was not at all worth $19. The presentation was disgusting, the portion size was just disrespectful. This is what was delivered to me. Yes you are seeing correctly, I had not taken 1 bite. Don’t waste your time or money.

Well, you take risks sometimes with small restaurants with a mixed bag of reviews. Some are hits and some are misses. This one was a miss. I would not recommend. Detailed review below:First, the website is a joke. Do not waste your time ordering on it. I placed an order and got a PayPal receipt with no order details and the recipient listed as an individual (not a business). I thought this was strange so I called the restaurant. Good thing I did.The staff member that I spoke to was polite, but let me know that the online orders do not make it to the restaurant. I had to place my order again on the phone and the person let me know that half the things I ordered online were not available. Again, nice enough guy. He sounded a little exasperated, as if he knew this was a messed up way to do business in 2022. I placed an order the best I could with the substitutes offered that roughly summed up to the original purchase price (the substitute foods were indeed cheaper than the food purchased online).Some positives: The food was prepped quickly. The employee called me personally to let me know the food was ready for pick up. That kind of personal touch is hard to find now.The restaurant was clean and empty. It looked like only one person was working there. The food was neatly packed in bags waiting for me.When I brought the stuff to the house I was missing about $25 bucks worth of food. I do think this was an honest mistake. (Well, if advertising a fake menu with unavailable food with an online payment/ordering system that doesn’t connect to the restaurant could be called honest.) But I do not think it was malicious or on purpose. Just a broken system.Now, to discuss the food:Let me first say this: this was not bargain priced Indian food. I have had amazing food at about $20 a plate at dozens of Indian restaurants across the country. Typically, I love going to small family owned Indian restaurants.The bread on the bbq sandwich was stale and burnt: inedible. The beef was dry and sauce was decent enough. The person eating it could not finish the sandwich due to the staleness/hardness of the bread. I was excited to see that the paneer was not cottage cheese as described on the website, but actual cheese chucks. The spinach sauce was uninspired but edible.The samosas were the best part: fresh, good flavor, flakey crust. No complaints there. The chicken curry wasn’t bad…there were several small bones in it so be careful if you feed to kids unsupervised. If you order mild spice be prepared for very mild. Mac n cheese was odd looking. Looked and tasted like boiled noodles with a bit of cheese on it. It was consistent with the other photos and reviews online.Overall, very underwhelming in ways that could be fixed pretty easily.I would not recommend.

I agree 100% with "Brent B". I live a few minutes from this place, for some reason I decided to stop in an order lunch for myself and my daughter. This was the biggest mistake that I have ever made. The food was disgusting to say the least. I swear this place must be a front, I can't for the life of me figure out how they are still open. I ordered the "smoked" ribs, collard greens and Mac and cheese. The greens look and smell like over cooked tobacco leaves. The ribs were not smoked, they were oven cooked to the point that they were sawdust dry. The mac and cheese was just that. Elbow noodles with hard flakes of shredded cheese. And it smell like the milk that they used or the cheese was sour. Needless to say I took the food back to the establishment. And although I could have requested my money back, I didn't. I explain to the guy that said that he was not the owner ( damn if I would claim to be) that the food was gross as hell. I asked how long have they been in business? He told me for many years. Bruh ? Really? I told him that I cater for small events and that I would be willing to come in and show the owners how to correctly fix collard greens, ribs etc. Absolutely free of charge. I really wanted to see this business flourish. After all it was apart of my neighborhood now. I asked where did they smoke the ribs? He claimed that there was a smoker out back. I swear the only thing out back were three dumpsters. The only smoker I saw was a few doors down. If he meant the guy sitting out back of the CVS smoking a cigarette. . After he lied I was "stick a fork in me"! I'm done

Their pulled pork sandwiches are delicious. The brisket is very tender as well!!?

I wish I had read the reviews before I ordered. My order was wrong and items were missing. When I got my food it was cold and undercooked. Didn't even finish it

Purchased a Groupon for $60 worth of food and drinks only to be told when we arrived that BBQ wasn't included, only Indian. Then was told they only had a few Indian dishes. Definitely not the full advertised menu. Then I was told that our drinks weren't included either. Ended up paying out of pocket for drinks and wings. Despite the Groupon not having this at all mentioned on it.

Rating based off of service. Not food. I’ve been coming here since it first opened. Absolutely LOVED the food. Haven’t been there since the new changes until now. Got really excited thinking about their ribs, Mac & Cheese, baked beans, corn bread, etc. But sadly, it’s just not the same. I had high expectations. I expected Chucks food. Honestly the new cooks aren’t horrible. It’s just not what it used to be. But I really want to comment on the new owner. He is very kind & understanding. When we got our order & finally got home to eat & realized it wasn’t what we were expecting, we came back to explain it to him & fully refunded us. Even for the drinks we kept & gave us a free dessert. We felt bad for returning the food (because were just not those type of people) but it’s just not for us. But this won’t be the last time we come here. Now that we know how the food is & what to expect, we’ll try some other choices on the menu. They deserve a second chance.

Great flavor Indian food. Portions are adequate, the Tikki Massala and Naan were super tasty. The restaurant is very clean nos has lots of potential.

The food I great as usual but I'm more impressed with the new management and the way they handle the restaurant. I will be dining more often?

The place and it's environment is very nice to enjoy some quality time with your families and friends. The stuff were humble and well mannered. As they got new management they are doing very well than before. The dishes were well cooked and delicious to eat. I'll visit more often to their restaurant for quality foods.
