Tikka Shack Indian Grub

I think the food is not really of Indian taste its something different. I had biryani which below average or very poor. So there need to improve with Indian taste. Biryani was not really biryani

Having driven past this place hundreds of times, I finally decided to give it a try. I suppose that in a town known for its overwhelming quantity of burger/wings/chicken fried steak/Tex-Mex options, this makes a fascinating difference. I pretty much knew what to expect. Relatively decent Indian cuisine at rather exorbitant prices. Honestly, I would include a piece of complimentary naan bread with an order, but I suppose that’s overly generous. As many restaurants in Lubbock fail due to competition/market saturation…or the fact that no one south of the Loop seems to spend their money on food…guess it makes sense they would charge for a piece of naan….albeit nothing special. What did I eat? Well, some sort of vegetarian dish. The four falafel-like balls were savory and slightly sweet. They were served in a tannish-orange colored gravy that had a coconut flavor. The basmati rice, flavorful and colorful with what resembled cut up carrot flakes, was decent. This place was quite busy at 1:00 on a Tuesday during Spring Break. I was served quickly…at least within 5 minutes of ordering. Overall, this place is alright if you want a quick fix of palatable Indian grub on the South Plains. You get to eat this while the overly indulgent pap of Indie-Pop tunes play….as if you’re walking around Central Market…or as close to this experience as one will ever feel in Lubbock. Their other location is across the street from Texas Tech, so the supply of hipster patrons should never dry up.

Love their food!! I have tried most of the menu and loved it all! Always friendly service.

Ordered Tandoori Wings, they were not made in the tandoori, they were fried chicken wings that were so salty I could hardly eat them. We have always enjoyed the foof here, but these wings were really bad!

I had the lamb tikka bowl and it was perfectly cooked. The lamb was tender, the salad was perfect. I really like how clean the restaurant was and the friendly service.

Employees are rude and unhelpful

If you are a lover of real Indian food, don't eat here. I think of it as fast food packaged Indian food, and some of the entres have that cardboard taste to them. That said, the masala fries are very good, & the vegetarian samosas are very good. I don't care much for anything else they have. If there was another Indian option on the south side of town, I'd never eat here. The place is nice inside, though. They only have mango lassi, & they make it days in advance. I had to return one once because it had separated. I don't consider it real indian food. The naan is flavorless, dead. And they don't have any desserts.

Ordered the butter chicken masala with extra chicken and naan...food came out pretty fast piping hot and fresh. Building looked very clean, workers we're friendly. Definitely a very family friendly place for great fresh food.
