9.5/10Absolutely superb authentic Indian cooking not experienced before in any Indian restaurant and I have been enjoying these for over 38years!! Deserves a better ambience - too much cheap and cheerful roadside cafe appearance which does not do the food justice! Nevertheless a gastronomic treat up there with the best

8.5/10The Tikka Nation was an interesting experience. We enjoyed very good chicken curry dishes which were subtly differentiated from standard indian restaurant fare and cooked to order. The menu included a wide range of enticing smaller meal and snack options to try on another visit. The prices seemed reasonable. We will eat there again if the ocassion arises.

9/10Owner was very attentive and the food was well presented and very tasty. If you want it spicy hot you really need to make sure he (and the chef) know. I wanted really spicy but it was very tasty but mild!! We had an enjoyable night!

6.5/10This place is more like a café than a restaurant. Staff are really friendly and the service was good. However the food was nothing special. It didn't taste fresh. This place is probably ok for a quick snack as takeaway but not for a sit down evening meal.Also the bathroom/ toilet facilities were absolutely filthy. Clearly hadn't been cleaned for ages. I had quick glance into the kitchen as I walked to and from the loo. It also looked a bit grubby.

Great little lunch or dinner place. Nice staff and good menu options as well. Liked they bought out food once ready, kept the food flowing. Quality and flavours were great too.

9/10This little place is such a great find. Authentic Indian food that tastes amazing. My friend and I tried the thali which was fabulous. Lots of little dishes to try.ybwhite wine was lovely and cold and the beer icy cold. Great prices too. I can understand why for a Monday night it was quite busy. Will definitely come again and maybe have a cocktail too to start with! Note there are not many tables so make sure you book I advance. Service can be on the slow side if they are busy (we were off to see a show and ended up being late but we only had an hour to order and eat) . Will come again when I can take my time and savour the delights!

6/10Nice food but 3 hours fo serve lunch at 12.30 is ridiculous. There were only 2 staff and the restaurant was half full but the wait for any food was far too long. Wouldn't recommend if your in a rush.

10/10Fabulous food and service. Our server explained what the different dishess were and made recommendations based on dietary requirements. With so many dishes on the menu, it was tricky to choose what to have! We were so pleased with our choices. Full of flavour and delicious. Can't wait to visit again, or get a weekend takeaway. Highly recommended.

8/10Interesting tasty menu often different to the standard fare served in many Indian restaurants. Very friendly staff happy to describe less well known dishes. Will make an effort to return despite there being several other Indian restaurants closer to us.
