Another outstanding dinner and experience this evening. If you value tasty authentic fresh Indian food and fantastic friendly service, I’d highly recommend a visit.
This has become our go-to favourite restaurant for a family Indian meal out or takeaway. So many yummy options with each dish cooked especially for you - tried the loaded paneer tikka fries which are the best comfort food, plus the chicken tikka is awesome flavour and melt in the mouth.
By far the best Indian restaurant in the area….

Really nice little place with great food. Ate here twice in 5 days with my family. Flexible options for the children as well as us. Very friendly owner, took the time for us. Prices are low (+/- 55 pounds for the whole family including drinks) but most of all the food is delicious, we took the recommendations and it was absolutely delicious! Would recommend it to everyone!

Tikka Nation is completely underrated. Their food is incredibly fresh and flavourful, especially their curries. The staff here are so friendly, particularly the owner and you’re made to feel so special. I’m always interested in trying something new here as I know that every item on the menu is guaranteed to have care and effort put into it. I enjoy every experience here and cannot wait to visit the restaurant again, more people should give this restaurant a chance as I can ensure they would not be disappointed. thank you!

My family and I had the best time here. The food was absolutely delicious (the thalis and wraps were a particular highlight) and wine from nearby Denbies was a great accompaniment. But the service was absolutely exceptional. The owner was so accommodating, knowledgeable and made us feel unbelievably welcome. I just happened to mention it was my dad's birthday and balloons and cake appeared! I can't fault this place and will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

This place is BANG average in terms of food being produced at the price point they charge. The high rating here says more about the competition than it does about anything else.
In a place like Dorking which is a culinary graveyard due to the predominantly over 60 year old demographic, it is above average but then people can travel to other towns for a superior price point and proposition.
The portions are not particularly big and the spices are lacking any punch, and there is a severe lack of any chilli in everything they produce. This means after two visits its not somewhere I would revisit. A shame really, but I guess they are catering to the local taste buds, which are how can I put this...bland.

The two of us were looking for a takeaway this evening as we were passing through Dorking , and came across this very unassuming looking restaurant /takeaway. As it happened there was a spare table inside so at the invitation of the very welcoming manager, in we went. He very carefully explained the menu to us, full of enthusiasm for the food, and he was not exaggerating, it really was delicious - not just curry! And it was one of the few restaurants we have been to where being a vegetarian was a positive thing - so many dishes to choose from! We came away thoroughly full up, and quite excited to have found such lovely food not too far from home, and extremely reasonably priced.

We had our housewarming ceremony with 40 people. For food, after a lot of search, we decided on TikkaNation. We had arranged a buffet counter in our house. Tikka Nation helped us with tasty food as well as the delivery and setup with chaffing dishes. Our guest and we are delighted with the service.

Tikka Nation catered for an event of 60 people at my place. We were super impressed with their organisation, hygiene and presentation. The scrumptious and fresh food was the highlight of the event. Both Nikhil and Namita are such amazing team…their hard work and passion is evident, every guest was served with a smile on the face. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with their service and would highly recommend them.
Regards,
Paridhi

Had lunch here and the food was amazing. Love Indian food and the food did not disappoint. The portion sizes were excellent, food wasn't greasy or oily and the meat was so tender/soft. Customer service was also great, very accommodating and happy to discuss/explain allergies. Would definitely recommend and will come back again.

My experience at this place was probably the most welcoming and enjoyable meal ever, I was with my family, my sister is gluten free, our server was very helpful guiding us through the menu and helping my sister with her allergies, the food was impeccable everything we ordered was so flavourful and unlike a lot of Indian food it wasn't oily at all. The one dish that I would recommended is the lamb Biryani the lamb was so tender that it melted in my mouth. Really recommended thank you for an amazing meal.

We visited for a work lunch. What a great idea! Everyone loved their food, although the Goan curry was less spicy than expected. I had the Dhaba Chicken Tikka, it was delicious and had a good spice to it. We felt that the meal was very good value for money too.

First time visitors after reading reviews on Trip Advisor and it did not disappoint. The owner took his time to explain everything on the menu which meant I felt comfortable experimenting with different dishes than I'd usually order at my local curry house! Food was delicious and was more "street food" style so was a really relaxed vibe and totally chilled for a Friday night after a long week! Fully flavoursome and nicely spiced and enough on the plates for a doggy bag! Result! Highly recommend!

I really like eating here. A nice range of well cooked authentic Indian cuisine. The owner is really hospitable and keen to point you in the direction of new flavours and dishes. Along with the food is a nice range of local beers to go with the meal. Can't recommend this place enough 😀

First of all this could have been a bad day in the office or just a one off.
But I was highly recommended to visit this place while I was in the area.
I’ll get straight to it, the food -
The gunpowder and masala fries was a hit I can’t fault them nice flavouring and the kick to them was real. Solid 10/10
The poppadoms and condiments was okay you can’t really go wrong with this.
The main dish the tikka masala and naan bread, really was a let down the naan bread wasn’t cooked in a tandoor it wasn’t light or fluffy it was flat like a chappati and uncooked and greasy. Very odd naan
The curry dish felt like it was heated up and some of the chicken felt like it was pre cooked and added, was heavy on greasy and very runny. Felt more like a Wetherspoons curry dish than anything.
I think there biggest market is the Indian street food stuff like loaded fries and wraps.
