" Absolutely loved the experience at Big Tikka! It truly feels like a home away from home. The food was so inviting with fresh flavors. The lamb curry was probably the best I’ve had; it melted in my mouth! Also enjoyed a nice lassi; it was a refreshing touch. The staff was very kind, and you could tell they care about making the dining experience memorable. I will most certainly be moving Big Tikka to my top list of Indian restaurants! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Big Tikka for the first time last month, and wow, what a delightful experience! The food was fresh and bursting with flavor! I ordered the lamb dish inspired by New Zealand, and I found it fascinating how they expertly combined Indian spices with a twist. The only downside was a slight delay in service, but the staff were very accommodating and offered free dessert as an apology, which really made my night! The ambiance is definitely suitable for a casual dinner or a special occasion. This place definitely ranks high on my list, and I am already planning my next visit with family and friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Big Tikka two weeks ago after hearing so much hype, and they certainly delivered! The menu is extensive with a modern twist on classic Indian dishes. I went with a group of friends and we decided to share several dishes: the samosas, chicken biryani, and palak paneer. Each dish was better than the last! The biryani had the perfect amount of spice and was so fragrant - I could eat it forever! The atmosphere was cozy, but I felt it could be improved by dimming the lights just a little. The service was impeccable; our waiter made excellent recommendations without us even asking. So, overall it was a great experience and I would definitely come back again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" After numerous tastings of Indian dishes from several restaurants, I found Big Tikka to be exceptional. The food was vibrant, and the spices they use tantalized my taste buds. The tikka masala was divine! The staff was attentive and swift with service. I have been back twice already since my initial visit and each experience has been just as satisfying as the first. Big Tikka is becoming my new favorite! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Big Tikka after hearing rave reviews, and I must say that it lived up to the hype! The dining space was beautifully designed, with lovely decor that created a nice atmosphere. I went with the butter chicken and garlic naan, and both were outstanding. The service was prompt and friendly, and I appreciated that they were attentive throughout our meal. It felt like a truly authentic Indian dining experience, and every bite was well thought out. I look forward to returning to try other dishes, particularly the lamb and vegetarian options!

My favorite part was the resonating spices in the chicken biryani, which was cooked to perfection. The service was friendly, and they really took the time to explain dishes and their origins. The ambiance was pleasant – casual yet refined. I will certainly be back for more delightful flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Big Tikka has been one of my best culinary experiences this year! The flavors in their dishes are truly exceptional - you can tell they use fresh ingredients for each meal they prepare.
