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?

THE VEGAN ONE · AVOCADO OIL

Chana Masala

Tender chickpeas simmered in a deep onion-tomato masala, cooked in avocado oil instead of ghee. Fully vegan, dairy free, gluten free, and it gives up nothing.

The Everyday Punjabi Staple

Chana masala is the dish India actually eats: chickpeas simmered until creamy inside, in a masala of onions, tomatoes, ginger and garlic browned down slow with whole spices. It is hearty enough to be the main event, not a side salad with ambitions. Ours is made fresh through the day, the same as every curry on the menu.

Vegan by Recipe, Not Retrofit

Most Indian kitchens finish everything in ghee, which quietly takes vegan off the table. Our chana masala is cooked in avocado oil instead, so it is genuinely vegan and dairy free without asking for changes. Gluten free too, like every entree we make, with no seed oils and no artificial colors.

How We Make It

Slow Masala Base

Onions, tomatoes, ginger and garlic browned down in avocado oil with whole spices.

Chickpeas Simmered

The chana cooks in the masala until each one is tender and creamy inside.

Finished Fresh

Brightened with spices and cilantro, spice level 1 mild to 5 authentic hot.

Make It a Meal

Complimentary basmati rice comes with every entree. The lemonade is sweetened with monk fruit, nothing else.

Basmati Rice

Garlic Naan

Indian Lemonade

Why Ours Is Different

We’re Arizona’s first seed-oil-free Indian restaurant: pure ghee or avocado oil only, no artificial colors, certified halal kitchen. The chana masala takes the avocado-oil road, which is exactly why vegans can order here without a single question.
