What makes Tikka Drive different from other Indian restaurants?

We're Arizona's first drive-thru Indian restaurant—serving handcrafted, traditional family recipes in minutes.

Where are you located?

80 W Warner Rd, Chandler, AZ 85225. More locations coming soon—follow us on Instagram @TikkaDrive for updates!

Do you use seed oils?

No. We use ghee in all of our dishes other than our vegan dish where we use avocado oil.

Do you use artificial food coloring?

No — and that's something we're proud of. Most Indian restaurants rely on artificial food dyes (like Red 40 and Yellow 5) to make dishes like tikka masala, butter chicken, and mango lassi look brighter.

Do you have indoor seating?

Yes! We have seating for about 50 guests. Dine in, enjoy your meal, and relax with a cold Indian beer as well.

Yes. You can call us, but the best way is to order through our website and swing by for a quick pickup.

Do you offer delivery?

Yes! We're on Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub, so you can get Tikka Drive brought right to your door.

How long does it take to get my food?

Most orders are ready in under 5 minutes—fresh, fast, and flavorful.

Is everything really made from scratch?

Yes! No freezers. No microwaves. No shortcuts. Every dish is made fresh in small hourly batches using real ingredients, traditional methods, and family recipes from Punjab.

Can I customize the spice level of my dish?

Yes! Absolutely. Every main dish is available from Level 1 (Mild) to Level 5 (Authentic Hot).

Is your food kid-friendly?

Definitely. Level 1 (Mild) is gentle for kids, and they'll love our naan and rice.

Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free options?

Definitely. Vegetarian: Paneer Tikka Masala, Chana Masala, Plain Naan, Garlic Naan, Raita, Rice. Vegan: Chana Masala. Gluten-Free: All entrees (except naan).

Do your dishes contain nuts?

Only our Chicken Korma contains cashews and coconut. The rest of our menu is nut-free. Although we keep nuts separate from other foods, we cannot guarantee against cross-contamination.

Do you have dairy-free options?

Yes! Our Chicken Curry and Chana Masala are dairy-free. Let us know about your allergy and we'll take extra care with your meal.

Do you serve halal meat?

Yes, all our meat is certified halal. We take pride in offering food that respects your dietary and cultural values—without compromising on flavor.

Do you serve alcohol?

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and cash.

THE VEGETARIAN ONE

Paneer Tikka Masala

Soft paneer in the same silky tomato-cream masala our chicken tikka masala is known for. Vegetarian, gluten free, and nobody at the table feels like they settled.

Paneer, Properly

Paneer is fresh Indian cheese: mild, soft, and built to soak up sauce. In Punjabi kitchens it is what vegetarian comfort food looks like. We simmer the cubes gently in a tomato-cream masala made with pure ghee and whole spices, so every piece comes out tender with the sauce clinging to it. It is the dish vegetarians order on repeat, and the one everyone else ends up stealing bites of.

The Masala Does the Talking

This is the same tomato-cream masala that made our chicken tikka masala a best seller, with paneer in the starring role. Vegetarian, gluten free like every entree we make, no artificial colors, no seed oils. Order it 1 mild to 5 authentic hot.

How We Make It

The Masala Base

Tomatoes, cream, ghee and whole spices simmered down slow into a silky gravy.

Paneer In

Soft paneer cubes go in gently and stay tender, never rubbery, never fried to death.

Your Heat, Your Call

Spice it 1 mild to 5 authentic hot. The masala holds up at every level.

Make It a Meal

Complimentary basmati rice comes with every entree. Add a naan and something cold.

Garlic Naan

Basmati Rice

Mango Lassi

Why Ours Is Different

We’re Arizona’s first seed-oil-free Indian restaurant: everything is cooked in pure ghee or avocado oil, with no artificial colors. Vegetarian here is a first-class order, not an afterthought.
