    6.5/10

    The 50 percent offer was not available on a la carte items except the starters and the staff did give a judgemental look when we asked them about the offer. Food tasted good though. But we trusted the Fork app claiming that offer will be given in most of the food items in the menu but it was a very big disappointment for us. We had traveled about 1.30 hrs to reach the place only to eat some starters and come back hungry.

    Excellent range and cooked food and great service, but ambience a bit lacking as we were only ones there. Recommend a visit.

    Golden French fries topped with melted cheese, garnished with green onions, fresh herbs, and slices of red chili pepper for a hint of spice.
    Sizzling platter of marinated chicken and mixed grilled vegetables, including colorful bell peppers and sautéed onions, topped with fresh herbs and served with a creamy green yogurt-based dip.
    Pani puri featuring a crisp, golden brown puri filled with fresh herbs, served atop a glass of tangy, spiced liquid.
    Traditional Indian thali featuring fluffy rice, various curries, mixed vegetables, crispy papadum, soft naan, spiced yogurt, and a sweet treat.

    The food is hot and fresh, the mocktails and smoothies freshly prepared and taste delicious. Would highly recommend the loaded fries!!

    Everything was good, we tried different things that we never saw elsewhere. Highly recommend. The prices are good not expensive.

    Went at 17.00 which was a time of day that place was empty and therefore no atmosphere. Menu varied and reasonable value. Food was good and plentiful. Service was cheerful and responsive. However, bill was given without the offer of 30% off food. She did not know about the offer and rang her manager. 30% then taken off 1 item but not the other,as the message was that the “Thali” was not included. This was certainly not clear as a set menu on the printed menu. So not happy , but not the fault of the waitress who was apologetic and charming.

    This is a return visit, we wanted to try different new items on the menu. And we weren’t disappointed. We had bao buns and samosas for starter, both very tasty, and then chicken saag and hubby had lamb saag. You could pick accompaniment with dish, I went for rice and hubby had paratha, which when it came was 2 pieces so were shared one each and also shared the rice. We have healthy appetites and again portion sizes were more that average sized so came away feeling full. I also tried a lassi cocktail for the first time and really enjoyed the thick texture of the drink.

    We were just passing this place in Sutton Coldfield, went on “The Fork” app and found it had summer offers so quickly booked and went in within 2 minutes for our meal. Food was amazing, but I would also very much recommend their Indian Cocktails range. I had a “Indian Summer Mojito” made with fresh mango. So cold and freshingly different. We will be back. Thank you.

    We loved the food, the portion size was excellent, but I too was taken aback that a service charge was automatically added to the bill without asking or notifying me. This seems a sneaky way of increasing the prices without increasing the actual menu prices. Outside that, I loved Naz, the ambience, the food quality and everything. Many thanks!!

    Refreshing to have an Indian street food restaurant in our town. Food was freshly cooked and tasted delicious. Will definitely be back to try some thali next time!

    I tried Tikka Nation with a friend and we both loved it. Tried the veg thaali which was exceedingly delicious 😋, also tried one of their Indian cocktails which hit the spot. The staff were very attentive, wonderful and very friendly, the ambience was cosy and quiet, not super loud. I would highly recommend Tikka Nation and I am looking forward to trying other food on their menu, especially their Indian street food favourites.

    My son and I were the only two in the restaurant. The service was great. The food was delicious and hot. The only - tiny - complaint I'd have is that the service charge was added without warning. I'm used to this in groups of 6+ but not for a table of two. Yums accepted but not for drinks, or takeaway. Still recommended for food flavours alone.

    The food was tasty. The tables are small in size, not enough room to put all or drinks on the table. Had to use the area by the window. We were the only customers. Otherwise the staff and service was fine.

    Nice food but small portions and the curry smell is in the restaurant and stayed on our clothes after for days. They should have better ventilation and isolate the kitchen from the main seating area

    Food was very average. Don’t think I would go back. It’s a shame really as the items on the menu sound really tasty. Although the peanuts were ok.

    Food was excellent. Place is quirky inside. Service was good and very welcoming atmosphere. Only a few tables inside so it’s a little awkward when you first walk in but once seated it’s fine.

    Friendly and warm welcome Seated quickly, and given menus and asked if we needed any help choosing We had Bel Puri for starters, which was exceptionally tasty, those little pomegranate seeds lifting the dish! For me lamb rogan josh and plain naan, delicious as it was first time we ate there. My other half had daal makhini which was rich and flavoursome. Owner/manager remembered us from our first visit, which was nice. All in all, great, friendly service, really tasty food! Definitely worth a visit!

    Unfortunately it was a small space, there was a family there already. Whose kids were running amok all over the cushioned benches and making noise. Food was bland, especially the pani gol gappas. Gun powder chips were nice. Dhai bhala were nice but I think not freshly made. Place was expensive and plates were small/quantity. You can't charge restaurant prices in a small cafe type place.

    Fab place. Really friendly folk and service. Food excellent with a really varied choice. Curry is available but the street food and tapas options sets the place apart from your standard Indian restaurants. Thoroughly recommended

    We were a party of 8, the portion sizes were extremely small in comparison to what we were expecting and there wasn’t really enough food with what we ordered, the waitress didn’t however tell us that the portions were small so had we known we would have ordered more also for the portion sizes the prices were quite expensive. A wider drinks menu would be beneficial and portion sizes that matched the prices would be better, sharing platters should have enough food for like 4 people but the portions were barely big enough for 2? Overall nice restaurant but definitely could have a look at sizing and prices!

    Thanks Yasmin for taking the time out for this feedback. As every feedback helps us better our service. Unfortunately we havent been able to meet your expectation on this occasion, we hope to see you again soon in the coming future.
