Tikka Express Gainesville

"The food is EXCELLENT! Both the cook and how they serve it. We have ordered for work events and they have put together an amazing spread on MINIMAL lead time. We even had a few chicken nuggets only eaters who are now in love with butter chicken and basmati rice! I have not had the opportunity to dine in, but the atmosphere seems cosy with indoor and outdoor seating. I can't wait for our next order!"

"I'd give it five stars on everything but it really is an express, so it doesn't have a fancy setting. I think they probably get a lot more to goes than they get people that eat there, but I don't know that for sure. When I was there, everybody was getting their food to go. Not sure where they parked. I know it was quite a chore for me. I think that would be the only thing that I'm not crazy about. That being it's so hard to find a parking space just to go in for 10 minutes to get something to take away. It's the busy part of town and they're doing work on the roads which doesn't help, in the end it was worth it. I got curry chicken and I believe they were called samosas. It was really good. Just because it's a takeout place that doesn't mean it's not well prepared and delicious. It is. Apparently they have a buffet during the week and I went there on a Saturday so I had to just order one thing. I would love to come back and try some of their other options. If I can get to Gainesville again I will definitely hit this place again. I definitely recommend this place. Even though it looks like a little hole in the wall, it's really good food. And the guy that worked there was very nice. He didn't rush anybody when they were trying to make a decision and he was very helpful explaining what each of the dishes were. He was also good about making sure that he followed what you wanted. Specifically I did not want my curry chicken too hot. He did it perfectly. I think there's just a couple of people working there. I saw someone else that was bringing food out and probably cooking behind the scenes. Give it a try if you like Indian food. I think this Indian food is very good. Everyone else seemed to like theirs too. The portions are quite large also. You'll probably have enough for two meals. Very nice!"

"Very yummy and express is correct. Was in and out within 10 minutes maybe less. The naan was delicious. Should’ve gotten rice too but that’s on me. Hot level had kick but didn’t think my meal. Ate the whole thing."

"Very delicious! Got the tandoori chicken and matar paneer to go, it tasted amazing! The woman that runs the restaurant is extremely kind and warm. I will say the atmosphere is fine except that there are some sketchy people that may come by. The restaurant owner shared her fears of that with us and was very sorry about that even though it's out of her control. I highly recommend getting food here."

"First time here. This restaurant is located right around UF campus. Located right off of a busy street so parking can be tricky but there are metered parking along the street if you can fine one. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is casual setting with sitting inside as well as outside but covered. The food is flavorful and maybe a bit on the milder side. The proportion is generous. I ordered chicken biryani and it was boneless and enough meat and I could not finish in one setting after fasting all day. The samosas come 3 in each order, they are smaller but tasty."
