Tikka Lounge - Poway, California

Second time in a month I have driven to the restaurant and they are closed 5-6 hours before listed. No signs for closure. You call the phone number and there is no voicemail about any closure. The first time we placed an online order and had to argue for the money back once we drove down from Ramona to a closed restaurant. There is an employee inside sitting at table in the dark and won’t answer any questions. A bit disappointing because their food is good.

My husband was craving Indian food and we were in the Poway area so we decided to have dinner here.

Service was good and the food was better than we expected. We ordered the chicken vindaloo and the dum ka chicken. Full of flavor and spicy!

We ordered the $30 family meal and there was enough food for lunch the next day. We ordered the garlic naan and the garlic chili naan. Both were SO good though I wish they were a little thicker.

I have been eating here for years, but it had been a while. I stopped by for takeout based on their websites pdf menu showing reasonable prices. When I ordered at the counter, the price was much higher than advertised. I understand that restaurants face inflation like consumers do, but that kind of price increase seems outrageous. At the very least Tikka Lounge, update the prices you post online because it’s false advertising. I will not be going back.

This is a very casual spot but the food was great for the price. I think the lunch buffet is up to $13.99 now which is more than their website suggested but still cheaper than some other places in the area. The dishes on offer were replaced frequently and I liked that they offered the naan bread along with the other dishes as buffet items. Some places will only let you have one naan bread so having the choice to have more was really nice. I'm already planning my next visit the butter chicken was delicious and their rice was also very tasty.

Came in with a group of coworkers and we all tried the weekday lunch special. It was a good dine in experience. The quality price and quantity of food was very good and satisfying. The chicken curry on top the veggie rice with chicken kabob and naan was my favorite.

1st time I had the Lunch special Buffet , not a large selection but what was available was plentiful & tasty. The Chicken Masala excellent, rices very tasty, naan very good, tandoori chicken very good, veggie dishes very good , I'll definitely be back.
Overall Very Good, service is excellent

Stopped by on the weekend for lunch. On the weekdays there appears to be a good lunch special, however on the weekend there isn't one and you order off the regular menu.

After ordering, we were given paper plates+ plastic utensils and sat at any given table. Even when asking for water I had to buy a water bottle. Set up seemed unusual (some seats were literally in the doorway) and when the food arrived it all came in plastic take out containers. I guess most come here for takeout?

Food was okay for the price (couldn't finish it all so nice we had take out containers?), but since we were looking for a dine in place would recommend only coming here if you want take out.

My husband and I ate at Tilkka Lounge today in Poway. Our food was very nicely prepared, delicious and fresh. And customer service was excellent. If you like Indian cuisine as much as we do, we highly recommend Tikka Lounge
