This place was amazing! The food was excellent, yummy and great serving sizes. Ordering is easy and fun. The staff were so friendly and let us sit and chat for hours. Occasionally someone would check in to make sure we didn’t need anything else. I thoroughly enjoyed this place and will be going back!
What a wonderful concept. And the food was oh so good! And staff - really, really helpful. We’ll be back again - the Lamb Korma was to do for! First mouthful took me back to the (olden) days of the Shalimar restaurant in Hobart Place.
We were in Canberra for a foodie weekend and whilst our friends decided to go to an expensive hatted restaurant for a degustation, we were looking for something cheap and cheerful. We found Tikka Take via a google search and we are so glad we did. Located in the centre of Canberra CBD, the friendly service and quality food proves you don’t need fine dining to leave a restaurant happy and satisfied (nor with empty wallets).
I friend recommended this place, after having the food i can say that my expectations havent went wrong.
Really the food was awesome.i liked the indian strret food Dabeli and Dahi puri.
Morever their team members sakshi and others two female team members served us great with perfect suggestion..
I will visit again and a perfect recommendation for others😀
Very enjoyable expierence, love the modern looking restaurant and the easy ordering system. We had booked a table in advance yet still had to wait 20mins to be seated which was very disappointing. Food for each person came out very slowly so some people were waiting with food in front of them before their friends. Otherwise the food was delicious, not overly priced and easy to eat.
There should be a Tikka Take in every capital city in Australia. This is Indian food simplified and yet not watered down. Ordering is idiot-proof - every item is listed with a code - and you write it down on a chit and buzz a waiter to come collect. The Goan fish curry packed a decent punch and the mango lassi was deliciously laced with cardamom. While Melbourne has perhaps the largest Indian population in Australia, it is not reflected in the quality of Indian cuisine there. Tikka Take is truly a worthy ambassador of Indian cuisine.
Located at the Civic at Canberra,
This is a popular joint for Asian, Indian food!
And trust me it’s good!
I visited this twice
They have a unique system of writing down the order according to the respective codes given in the menu. Which is good, as you don’t have to wait for service. They have a ring bell buzzer that you can press to call for their attention to your table...
First time I had the chicken tikka wrap
Some sodas and sev puri
Wrap was very heavy and filling! But delicious!
The Kalakhatta soda and the ginger lemon soda were a treat!
Second time we had the vegan thalis and the mughlai chicken biryani...
Both were very extravagant and nice!
However the biryani could have a bit more flavour and spice! The onion and tomatoes were missing! Felt like I was having a plain pulao rice with pieces of boneless chicken!
So I was disappointed by that!
I hope they improve on that!

On our way back to sydney upon a friends suggestion we landed at this place and boy was it worth every dollar .....the food was absolutely delicious and something very similar to what we have back in mumbai ....the staff was very resourceful and prompt and the food flowed .....into our stomach.....and it was a wonderful experience .....Must have are the goan prawns curry and the chicken hyderabadi biryani along with fish tandoori skewer and chili pakoda chaat and among the desserts pista kulfi and kesar pista falooda are must haves....
Awesome food. Great staff. Amazing variety. Been there 3 times in 2 days already. A Must go for India food lovers .
Thali, pani puri basket , amaras puri, papadi chat.. n much more ..
The most incredible service and food. Beyond fast, beyond perfect, every meal and beverage is on time, with a big smile.
Price is very reasonable.
Of every different flavor cuisine I have ever had, this is my favourite, except for Hungarian, as I am Hungarian 😁
Needs more reviews, VERY underrated!
Super authentic. Really great value. We had the two mini curries / naan/ daal platter and some chicken tikka. But what really rubbed me the wrong way was that they seated a table of 7 before they seated a table of 2 and before seating a table of 3 despite both smaller parties arriving before the larger party. Not cool.
Have been to this place a number of times.
They have some really good indian street food options.
Have tried many items off the menu but I like the south indian dishes more than the others.Do try their masala lemonade.
It was our third visit to Canberra and so to this amazing restaurant. We never leave Canberra without eating at Tikka Take. Delicious food and super quick service even on Easter weekend. Make sure to book a table during holidays. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and ambience. We have tried lot of stuff and everything has been great.
Great Indian cuisine! We had a fantastic experience, it was our first time trying Indian and it was very tasty. The food leans on the stronger side of flavours, and there are spice indicators as well. The menus a bit overwhelming, but our server helped us understand it all. The restaurant has a nice open feeling - great atmosphere.
Havent tried much Indian restaurant, but were looking for something different in Canberra. Tikka Take took our interest, it was a big place with nice bar of offer. The service from staff were great, they were really helpful in recommending what was their speciality. Food came up real quick and was really tasty and fresh. The drinks we order weren't particular to our taste.
Great Indian restaurant in the centre of Canberra. Fantastic variety of curries and other dishes, plus a great range of drinks. Always very busy so recommend making a booking.
I love the street food concept here. The menu is extensive, and there are a lot of different options to try. The pani puris and chaat dishes we tried were very good. We tried the special grilled club sandwich, and it had a strong spice flavour, a bit of an acquired taste. The lamb vindaloo was okay, it was like a cross between vindaloo and butter chicken.
Great place to come with a group to share all the different street food options.

Ordered :
Chicken tikka skewers- 8/10

They are specialized for tikka and chat I guess.
