I was craving Indian food today, so Shawn and I went to Tikka Tikka and ordered our favourite Indian dishes:
Vegetable and beef samosas
Vegetable samosa with tamarind sauce (innards)
Beef samosa with spicy coriander sauce
Naan (!)
Butter chicken
Lamb korma
The food is excellent across the board. The samosas are stuffed to the brim with well-seasoned fillings, and have perfectly crispy wraps that aren't too thick or thin (think spring rolls rather than egg rolls) — not as cheap or fresh as Samosa King, but better than most Indian restaurants I've been to, including Bombay Bhel. The vegetable samosas stand out more to me than the meat ones, though, with generous amounts of potato, peas, and onions. The butter chicken is creamy and flavourful with tons of massive chicken pieces, and the lamb korma is just spicy enough with tons of tender lamb chunks. I would say the butter chicken is on par with Bombay Bhel, but the lamb korma is better executed at Tikka Tikka. And the naan is huge, fluffy, and substantial enough to sop up any curry. The service is on the slow side and could be more attentive, mostly because they are understaffed and they receive a ton of take-out orders, but they're pleasant and polite. And the prices are on par with most dine-in Indian restaurants. I would definitely come here again.
