Tikka Taproom & Pizza — straightforward italian in Lindenhurst. It gets busy, and that's part of the appeal. Worth ordering a drink, because the bar holds its own, and good for vegetarians. Harsh Chavda: "The butter chicken is creamy and rich, the seekh kebabs are smoky and perfectly spiced"

“There were also a few pieces of tandoori chicken which was cooked perfectly”
I can't rate the service or atmosphere as I got my food delivered by Uber.
Terrible food. Had to wait 45mins for appetizers. They are running the kitchen with 1 person only on a Sunday night.
The food was pretty good. The prices are high for what you get.

“Great Indian food at reasonable prices.”
Great Indian food at reasonable prices. It's indo fusion, so there are some really interesting menu items. Food tasted great and had decent sized portions. I will have to go back to try the other items we didn't get to try.

WOW! I can not believe a place THIS good opened out here! It's really hard to find any "ethnic" food out here. If this place opened up in the city, it would be PACKED every night. Tried their Tikka wings - OMG, I didn't know what to expect but was blown away by the flavor of the wings not to mention the sauce! Fresh hot, buttery garlic naan was perfect, Tikka Masala was thick, with huge chunks of tender breast meat, huge order of tender Tandoori chicken and fluffy rice. I've even stopped in for their Lunch Buffet - 20$ per person and we each got Naan, an appetizer and a decent selection from the buffet! Menu prices are reasonable/average for quality Indian food. I drive by every day during my commute and there are never enough cars in the lot! My god, PLEASE give them a try! I want Tikka Taproom to have a permanent home here in Lindenhurst!

“Excellent desi food with a twist.”
Excellent desi food with a twist. Chicken tikka sauce is really good (asal punjabi style), naan is fresh, you can tell its from the in-house tandoor. Fries with chicken tikka sauce awesome. Wings are good and shrimp temura is must have. Good job!!! Must reccommend to all.

“Tikka Taproom is a hidden gem that left us absolutely impressed.”
Tikka Taproom is a hidden gem that left us absolutely impressed! This place has a perfect blend of vibrant flavors and a lively atmosphere, making every visit a delightful experience. Their Indian fusion menu is a true culinary adventure, offering a variety of dishes and 10 unique sauces that range from mild and creamy to boldly spicy, catering to all taste preferences. We started with the Aloo Tikki Chaat, and it quickly became my favorite dish of the night! The crispy texture paired with the flavorful chutneys created the perfect bite. The Mango Gobi Empanadas were a delicious twist on traditional empanadas, combining global inspiration with Indian flair. We also tried the Saag Paneer, which was rich and creamy, perfectly balanced with their soft, warm Garlic Naan. Tikka Taproom’s drink menu is just as impressive as their food. We had their refreshing Mango Lassi, which paired wonderfully with our meal. The restaurant also boasts a curated selection of premium spirits and elegant cocktails, so whether you’re there for a full meal or just a drink, you’re in for a treat. The star of the evening, though, was the Kheer for dessert. It was the perfect sweet ending, with its creamy texture and delicate flavor that truly stole the show. Tikka Taproom is more than just a place to eat—it’s an experience that’s chic, delicious, and unforgettable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to explore Indian fusion cuisine at its finest!

Amazing food. Friendly and fabulous staff. Helpful and just overall fantastic. We ordered takeout, and a lot of it. Everything was so flavorful. So many families enjoying a sit down dinner when I came to pick up our food. Ordered Mango Gobi Tikka (so crispy), Aloo Tikka Chaat (probably tie for one of our favorite dishes), Creamy Malai Tikka (amazed at how moist and juicy the chicken was), and Tikka Signature Dum Biryani had the best rice I’ve ever had. Seriously. Definitely will be making this a staple to go restaurant! So glad they’re here in Lake Villa!

This glass and plate are all that are left of one of the best drinks and appetizers I’ve eaten in a while! If you come I highly recommend the Maharaja Margarita AND cauliflower with the Tikka Buffalo sauce! Winner! Winner!

“Run, don't walk to check out Tikka Taproom.”
Run, don't walk to check out Tikka Taproom. Though their soft launch did not include the full menu, everything we had was DELICIOUS - which is no surprise seeing there's shared ownership with Singh's Kitchen in Libertyville. We look forward to the full menu and can't wait to see them transform the space into something unique!
