The food here was very flavorful, the presentation was great and the chicken was cooked perfectly juicy and tender. The two main criticisms I have are that I ordered my meal medium spicy and my girlfriend ordered hers full spicy and what I got was not remotely spicy and hers was mildly spicy. I think the staff is used to people rejecting their food for being too spicy so if you like it hot you may need to really push the staff to make it hot for you. The other criticism I have was the garlic Naan was pretty sad. No oil or butter of any kind on it, with a few scant pieces of garlic that did not really come through at all. Other than those two minor things the experience was great and definitely worth going out for.

Stopped for dinner at Tikki Masala my way home from a visit in Jamaica Plain – it was great. Outstanding Indian cuisine and very friendly service! Started with samosas – very good – and followed up with two entrees – chicken mango and chicken korma; both excellent. Also had naan – so good .

Dosa was delicious! Tasted just like they do in South India and the coconut chutney was spot on (need more, though— asking for extra next time).

The service was not great. We were not greeted and the server seemed to not want to be there. She never checked on us or refilled our water. The owner, an older man, was lovely and so welcoming. He was the best. He made sure to give us a better experience. Our food took about 20 minutes to come out and it was okay. A bit bland. The garlic naan barely had garlic. The tikka masala and butter chicken tasted and looked exactly the same. The rice was hard as well. We had sweet white wine with our meal and the wine was delicious.
