The Art of the Tandoor
Chef Suman Pradhan built his reputation on one thing: flavors that taste unmistakably like the real thing. From smoky tandoor-fired tikka to fragrant Nepali momos, every dish honors the traditions that inspired it.

A Room Worth Returning To
Navy walls, warm lighting, and rust-colored chairs—the dining room at Tikka is a place to linger. It’s modern, welcoming, and designed for the kind of meal you’ll talk about afterward.
Where Heritage Meets the Flame
Chef Suman Pradhan built Tikka on Connecticut Avenue as a celebration of North Indian and Nepali cuisine — deeply authentic, warmly welcoming, and alive with the smoky perfume of a blazing tandoor.
What our guests are saying
Reasonable prices for outstanding food and service. Everything we ordered had such beautifully complementary textures and complex, rich flavors. Beautiful dishes and modern but cozy atmosphere. Service was very quick and our waitress had great recommendations and comments about different menu items.

Absolutely delicious. This place is a must visit. We asked our server for recommendations as we were not familiar with many of the dishes- everything was outstanding. Highly recommend the momo’s, mango palak chaat, any of the naan’s, and do not sleep on the beetroot dessert. Friendly, attentive staf

During our visit to Washington DC we searched for Indian restaurant and found TIKKA. Fantastic dining experience. Food was absolutely amazing and so was the service. We ordered veg and Non veg both dishes and all of them were mouthwatering. Ambience also good. Highly recommended for Indian food lovers.

From the moment we walked in for dinner, the staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. It was clear that everyone — from the manager to the servers — works as a team, which made the atmosphere even better. The food was delicious, and we genuinely enjoyed the experience. I’ll absolutely be back, to try their lunch menu next time.
