Ticca Tikka also quickly received notoriety for its unique Chicken Tikka Taco.
"It’s a great introduction to Indian food packed with immense buttery flavors that wake up your taste buds. No joke it’s all that in a taco," El_Estache posted on Instagram.

Other reviewers have pointed out the chicken korma, lamb tikka masala, samosas, the butter chicken pasta and the aloo gobi.
"Aloo Gobi was fantastic! Lightly crisped cauliflower that had perfect texture unlike most places where it is served mushy. The garlic naan was awesome! Perfect garlic taste that also offered buttery and flaky in every bite. Chicken Korma was excellent! Smooth buttery taste with such authentic flavor of unique Indian spices," Jo Ann G. wrote on Yelp.

The eatery, with its pop art and golden light fixtures, also offers a vibrant modern twist on traditional Indian decor.
"Bring a friend and experience the rich flavors of India," the eatery posted on Thursday.
Ticca Tikka Indian Cuisine is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and is closed on Mondays.
