“ This place is my go to spot for spices ever since moving to Kansas City over 6 years ago. Their spicy garlic seasoning is phenomenal on anything you can think to put it on. The flavors don't stop there. Such an amazing array of herbs and spices! Their prepared foods are equally as good. The staff is always insanely helpful and friendly. Especially the younger woman who always greets me with warmth and a smile. The whole room is a well organized oasis of fragrant scents and delicious looking food and drinks. If you haven't been yet, I recommend this place a million times over. Do not go to the big chain places for spices or seasonings ever again! The quality and prices here beat them every single time! ”

“ If you're anything like me, you get overwhelmed at the sight of the massive crowds in line to get spices on the weekends, but you really must find a time to get food here. The real stars are the pita pockets that are beautifully piled inside the bakery case/counter. At only $3 each, they make the perfect warm snack to fuel your farmer's market wanderings.i highly recommend the feta and spinach. They even have a vegan option! The food is reasonably priced for the amount you get. It's not my favorite Indian/Mediterranean food in KC, but it's a tasty, cheap, quick option for a day spent in the City Market! I usually get a chicken tikka wrap, and it comes with rice and veggie salad. Everything can be ordered mild, medium, or spicy. You place your order at the counter, and they call out a number when the food is ready. This gets a bit chaotic during peak hours. I recommend ordering a pita pocket (heated up, of course) to munch on while you wait for your order. If you are interested in the spices -- they have little clipboards with papers for you to write down what spices you want and how many scoops. The employees take your list and scoop the spices into bags. They have clean, empty spice bottles that you can pay for as well ($2 I think?) Once you get your order, you pay at the counter. The spices are reasonably priced (comparable to other bulk spice stores in river market), and they have just about anything you could imagine. You have to settle with river market lots or street parking. Super convenient for a lunch during a farmer's market day, but not convenient to pull over for quick take out (especially without online orders). ”

“ The array of spices caught my eye entering Tikka House. The lady that took our order was very friendly and our food came out pretty fast despite the line. We ordered the Chicken Tikka lunch plate for $7.99. I felt that the chicken tikka itself was a little dry and lacking flavor. The aroma and flavors of the spices were almost too subtle. That said, the portion size of the dish was good. It came with a side salad and tzatziki sauce, which provided an element of freshness. I am hoping to try their other options next time, including their pies and wraps. ”

“ The Spinach and Feta pie is amazing . We're coming back next Saturday for more. I came on my off day which is Monday. I was kind of sad as they're closed on Monday's ”

“ Food was delicious. Lentil soup was a little too tart for me but I love the meals. The samosa and feta and spinach pita pockets was delicious it came with a chili sauce and dip alongside fried pita chips - addictive. Service was great and friendly. I loved that they offer a variety of spices to buy. ”

“ Super cool concept inside with lots of spices to choose from. Very friendly staff. Chicken tikka wrap wasn't the most flavorful but the rice was perfectly fluffy & my salad was very fresh. I was too hungry to catch a photo. Mango drink tasted very watered down; wasn't overly sweetened which I'd typically enjoy if it had more flavor. Very affordable lunch spot! ”

“ Easily one of the most affordable and delicious options at City Market! While other food stalls were charging $12+ for lunch options, Tikka House has entire meals for $7-$8 max. That's an incredible deal! Don't be scared away by the long line to purchase spices - and get yours here, while you're at it! They have every spice and mix under the sun, and from what I could tell by the line, they're popular. Skip this line and head to the front register to place your meal order. The team here is lovely and will take your order - just know there's a $10 minimum for cards. I ordered butter chicken and a veggie samosa, and it was incredible! The butter chicken served on rice was deliciously spiced, and it came with two different salads. I got a samosa and it was MASSIVE - so delicious with a yogurt sauce and chili oil on the side plus some pita chips. Delicious, filling, hearty and budget-friendly choice at City Market! ”

“ This place has been the ONLY store I will buy seasonings and spices from for the past two years solid. The prices of spices have been rising rapidly for awhile now and it just doesn't make sense to get a small overpriced portion from chain grocery stores, when you can get it fresh and in bulk from this locally owned GEM! Whenever I have guests over to share a dish I've prepared they are always raving over the flavor! I let them in on my secret weapon -the creations made by the people at Tikka House who prepare new seasonings every so often. The service always speaks for itself whether it's extremely busy and the line is around the corner in the summer or it's not as busy on a cold January day. Every question will be answered and every reasonable request will be fulfilled. The food is made with love from what seems to be the grandmother of the generations, to the next generation taking orders, then the generation after that filling bags full of seasonings! I always joke about how I would love to work here on the weekends because this place is a like a live bar on a Saturday night, for people who really want to take their dishes to the next level. Maybe one day I actually will or have a place like this of my own because it is definitely top 3 one of my favorite things to do in KC and it isn't number three. ”
