Talk N Tikka in Milton Keynes

This place feels like someone once said to their mum, "Your food is amazing, you should open a restaurant!" Well, some things are better left within the four walls of home, because this is the kind of cooking only her children could possibly enjoy out of politeness. Sadly, it should have stayed at the family dinner table. From the first bite, it was clear that cost-saving on ingredients was the main recipe here. The meat was dry, the sauce was flavourless, and the whole thing felt like a sloppy rip-off. I found myself wondering, "Who even approved this?" For a place with "Talk" and "Tikka" in the name (seriously, what does that even mean?), they’ve managed to take a classic dish and turn it into something I deeply regret ordering. The price? Daylight robbery. The taste? Nonexistent. The experience? I wish I could forget it. To make matters worse, I couldn’t shake the feeling that those glowing 4 and 5-star reviews must be coming from supportive friends and family, because the 1, 2, and 3-star reviews? Spot on. They matched my experience perfectly. Honestly, why are so many low-quality curry places popping up lately? This was disappointing on every level, and I am asking for a refund. I won’t be back, and unless you enjoy regret on a plate, I suggest you avoid it too.

Absolute Disaster – Avoid at All Costs I’m furious. I wanted to treat my family to a decent curry, and since Leighton Buzzard is notorious for its lack of good Indian food, I decided to venture out to Bletchley based on Uber Eats’ recommendations. BIG MISTAKE. How this place has good reviews is beyond me—it’s an insult to curry lovers everywhere. I spent £70 for what barely qualified as a meal. The chicken curry was disappointing, with cheap chicken ruining what could have been an okay sauce. The lamb biryani was the absolute lowlight—no yogurt, no accompanying liquid, just some pathetic, dry rice and the tiniest amount of lamb. It felt like I paid £10 for leftovers from a bad wedding buffet. The chicken 65 was awful—no flavor and no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The chilli paneer was a travesty, with a soggy, gelatinous coating and dry, dense paneer that tasted like it had been forgotten in a freezer for a decade. The only redeemable items were the lassi, which was nice, and the keema naan, which was okay, but that’s it. I wanted to impress my family, and instead, they now think I can’t pick a decent meal to save my life. This place is a disgrace to biryani’s heritage—a dish meant to be hearty and affordable has been reduced to a flavorless profit machine. Never again. £70 wasted, appetite destroyed, and my reputation with my mates in tatters. Avoid this place like the plague.

Good South Indian restaurant and tasty food.

Hi, I wanted to share some feedback on the veg Manchurian I ordered. It wasn’t fully cooked through, which impacted the texture and flavor, and I also found a chili stem in the dish. I really appreciate the effort that goes into your food, so I thought I’d mention this for future reference. Thank you!

Ordered food for 20 people for a small event at home, food was fantastic and the price was reasonable too. This is the third time ordering food for a home event, always received good food and customised as well as per request. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Restaurant is good. They serve authentic Indian food. Beware of ordering spicy dishes as food is very spicy. They have free parking in central bletchley which is add on point.

Excellent authentic Indian food, great service and great value. They do all the ‘British’ Indian dishes but go for the real Indian dishes and you won’t be disappointed!

We tried TalknTikka couple of times and it's really worth visiting. The good thing is they have free parking so if you are visiting you can park safely. They serve both Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian food. Also they take the catering orders as well. We tried Vegetarian Biryani, Panner Gravy, Manchurian all of them were mouth watering and very tasty. Also for my friend House warming they ordered food from TalknTikka and trust me that's the best food I eat. We tried Mushroom Manchurian, Vegetarian Biryani, Roti,.... It's a highly recommended restaurant. Particularly if you are an Indian food lover then you should visit at least once. The quantity of the food is very very less.. please be mindful if you are ordering food next time.

poor service , better to order online

I ordered from Talk N Tikka for my corporate event. This is the second time, I booked with them. The food was divine and it served well for people from different ethnicities. The food was delivered hot and packaged really really well. Portion sizes are generous and served my team of 40 people. People loved the taste the quality and the varied items that was served. The spice levels were just right. The best restaurant in Milton Keynes and trustworthy too. Thank you to all the staff and Ravi for bringing the food with care and love.

Take away was stone cold,they forgot part of my meal and left the rest of the take away for a good twenty minutes on the side whilst preparing the dish they forgot, he promised me it was hot.I rang them when I got home after dishing up a cold meal. They didn't want to know.

I have previously enjoyed take-aways through Uber at this restaurant, but unfortunately, today's experience did not meet expectations. I ordered Lamb Chops, Veg Fried Rice, and Chicken 65. The Lamb Chops were disappointing, with a texture that felt overly floury and unappetizing - looks like old lamb. The Veg Fried Rice was over-seasoned, with an excessive amount of masala that resulted in an off-putting flavor and smell. The only good dish was the Chicken 65, which is why I rated atleast 1 out of 5. Regrettably, I will not be ordering from this restaurant anymore.

Excellent taste and service . Me being a vegetarian, I tried their paneer tikka masala ( extra garlic requirement as catered too) and paneer Kolhapuri (not exactly on the menu but they catered on request) . Very close to being authentic Indian food

Talk is quite appropriate the meals all came out at different times several minutes apart and the rice finally arrived on time for dessert

This is an ok Indian, the mains are pretty bland but the sides are good. Naans are bad but popadoms and sauces are good. Dont expect a 5 star Indian from here because it’s definitely not. If you want bland not spicy Indian, you could enjoy eating here.

I think the person who ia handelling calls is deaf or the chef is deaf here. 4 times told to make 1 thing spicy and they make the second item too much spicy but not that item which i specifically told about. Same guy every time on phone and he said yes yes ok ok but still the food is same. I am ordering because of indian taste. But i think i need to stop ordering. Because they ignore your instructions. Wastage of money.

I recently ordered food delivery from Talk N Tikka for my party. I ordered both vegetarian and non-vegetarian Indian food items. The food quality was excellent and tasty. All my guests praised the food. The quantity of the food was sufficient for the number of guests. I am pleased that I ordered from Talk N Tikka. I would certainly recommend this restaurant for food catering for parties.

Ordered from deliveroo and they won’t issue a refund on my order. How on earth is this acceptable? The amount of oil in the chicken tikka is vile. I put some kitchen roll in there in an attempt to soak it up to make it edible but nope 🤢

Food was fab and they made some personalised dishes for us

Food is not at all fresh! They serve the biryani which has been kept in the fridge from 2 or 3 days.

Food is very tasty. After a long time I got the authentic Indian taste.

Have had 4 times before through delivery and rated it so high. But went last night after looking forward to it all day. Fair enough it was busy, but we were handed a menu that had been used and was dirty with food stains on it. Then we ordered our drinks, when my wine came it looked and tasted like it had been sitting in a half open bottle for a very long time. For the starters The waiter didn’t seem to know what they had. I asked for a specific (my favourite dish) and a different version of it came (which was fine) but it was absolutely stone cold. Then a different waiter came over and I asked to get the other dish too and he went to the kitchen and came back and said “sorry the kitchen is too busy for that” okay so why is it on the menu? I also queried if I could please change my drink because it tasted stale. I would have paid for a new drink. He looked at me and said “no” and walked away. No one came back to take our order -we had to ask. He tried to take our menus between starters and mains even though we hadn’t ordered and had to argue with him not to take the menus because we still needed to order. There was also no communication between the two waiters so we had to explain things more than once. They asked me why I didn’t eat my stone cold starter I told them it was cold. He said it was due to the yoghurt but the entire thing was like it had not even been heated up even slightly. He apologised but no attempt to rectify. The main food was fine but took 30 mins to come. We were missing an item which they tried to charge us for so we had to tell them. This meal cost £50 for off wine, stone cold food and terrible service. Overall a not good experience and after becoming a regular customer and rating it so highly - I will not be going back.

I recently got catering done for a private event from Talk N Tikka. Their food was a absolute hit! Sumptuous food including Veg/Nonveg snacka and mains. Good quality and quantity of food at a very reasonable price! The team were very flexible & accomodated some last mimute changes to time. They delivered promptly and were a geat professional team to deal with. I would highly recommend Talk N Tikka to Indian food lovers.

Talk n Tikka excels in delivering an authentic and satisfying Indian dining experience. The combination of delicious food, impeccable service, and inviting ambiance makes it a must-visit for anyone looking to explore the rich flavors of Indian cuisine. Whether you're a seasoned fan of Indian food or trying it for the first time, Talk n Tikka promises a memorable and delightful culinary adventure.

Very good food at reasonable prices with welcoming and friendly staff. Would come here again!

Worst service, bad atmosphere & average food, I don’t recommend this restaurant. Visited with family on Friday evening it took more than 1 hr for food to be served and inspite of asking multiple times the priority was given to larger groups who came later.

One of the best place to have authentic Indian food, especially Andhra cuisine. I personally liked Tandoori chicken and Chilli Garlic Naan with Chettinad Chicken. Mango Lassi was a fine finishing touch.

Great dinner, great service. Would definitely recommend. Had the paneer curry :)

Very friendly staff, food freshly cooked food and even music and dancing accommodated!

Excellent samosa chat and the tandoori chicken quarter was the best I have ever tasted. Maybe the best chicken I've ever eaten, tender and such a classic tandoori flavour.

Service was horrible as they were short of people to handle the weekend rush. The restaurant was not insulated well from outside cold weather, it was quite cold inside despite electric heaters brought for additional heating. Food was tasty but since service was quite slow, it pretty much killed our appetite and interest. Some items were not available.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Talk n Tikka, the Indian restaurant in Bletchley, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy atmosphere. The menu offered a wide variety of tantalizing dishes, and each one we tried was bursting with authentic Indian flavors. The chicken chettinad curry was perfectly made, and the kerela parota was soft and fluffy. CHICKEN FRIED RICE is the must try one here. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience was top-notch. I can't wait to return to Talk n Tikka for another delicious meal!

We tried this for 1st time our order got mixed up due to communication issues however they put it right they were fantastic couldn't apologise enough food was lovely will definitely go back soon

Good and friendly service, all dishes veg and meat, ordered were tasty and full of flavour, will definitely recommend a visit to this restaurant if in MK

Today for Iftar we ordered Dum Biryani, Mughlai chicken, onion bhajhi, and daal makhni. All in all, it was an excellent experience.

Very average food. No concept of service. Main course served before starters but cold. Very avg chat. The waiter couldn't differentiate between chicken 65 and chilli paneer. Thankfully we did :-) It was son's b'day- terribly disappointed.

Taste of food is awesome, big portions and amazing flavour. Totally recommended. Thank you Talk N Tikka whole team for your lovely food

Food is delicious , value for money, friendly atmosphere.

I went to this restaurant for dinner with my family. The food was really very good. The service was also quick. I would like to view this restaurant again.

The ambiance of Talk n Tikka restuarant that seamlessly blends modern elegance with traditional Indian charm. With warm lighting, tasteful decor, and a cozy atmosphere, it's the perfect spot for a delightful dining experience…

Naan and chicken tikka are a familiar combo at Talk n Tikka! Additionally, the soft naan bread goes very well with the tasty, delicate chicken tikka. I get the chicken tikka to be very delicious and a filling our evening meal because of the spices in it.

Delicious food. They stayed late for us

Hi, Thank you for your delicious food. Tandoori chicken's smoky flavor and biryani's aromatic blend of spices make for an unforgettable dining experience on this Valentine's Day dinner menu. Thank you again for a wonderful dinner.

Came here on new year's eve as we were around MK. I read the reviews and saw some videos but i thought it was hyped just like other places but i was wrong. The reviews speaks for itself. Food was very tasty. Very authentic and delicious. The owner was very friendly. We had Lamb pepper fry for started(recommended by the owner but not on the menu), Hyderabad Chicken dum biriyani, Ghee masala dosa, and Chettinad chicken curry. Everything was super tasty. Cant fault it. Defo highly recommend this place. Going back again with more friends soon. 🧡

Absolute joke of a place. They delivered food 2 hours late which was cold. Blame everyone else for your delays.

AWESOME!!!!! We traveled from Switzerland to visit UK last Christmas and this is the food we craved for… everything transported me to my home place (India) the taste was on point. The Gobhi manchurian is finger licking, and so was other Indo-Chinese appetisers. In Main course we ordered Biryani, Now that is something you can’t compare from what you get in India (authentic ones) but this one was so close ❤️ absolutely swear by this place and would definitely come back when we visit Milton Keynes again. 😊

Best place for South Indian food in Milton Keynes and the service was at its best I completely recommend this place for best South Indian food

Best Indian food and best service

The waiter who served us was very welcoming and friendly, he even moved the heater closer to our table as it was cold. The atmosphere was okay - not many people were there as it was only 12.30 at lunch time. The toilet and hand washing area defiantly put me off. It didn't look nice and felt off putting due to how close it is to the kitchen. The garlic and plain naans were good, the butter chicken was good but the chicken pieces were quite small and didn't feel the portion was a good size. There was more sauce then chicken in the curry. I wouldn't recommend the mixed grill. For 16.99 the portion was very bad. There was only one prawn in the platter, 2 small lamb seekh, 2 chicken tikka, a small lamb chop, a roast chicken leg that was mainly just bone and a small fish. I thought for the price, this was defiantly disappointing. Overall the food was okay, but i wouldn't come back. Our waiter with the glasses was the best part of our service!

Tried chettinad chicken curry and Biryani It was delicious Now we are visiting often

The best hotel for delicious South Indian food in Milton Keynes

Best service from staff and starters are must try now it's my regular food place

Never had that bad chillipanner.

Our all Time fav restaurant..these guys will never fail you with their Indian tastes. We can order from them everyday but practically it's not possible still we always order from them without a second thought.

We went there for celebrating 10 years work anniversary of colleagues. The ambiance was great, food was fantastic. I’d recommend Chilli Prawns, Mix Platter, Papdi and Samosa Chat, Mutton Curry. Suresh was the perfect host and made sure that our event was an awesome one. Not to forget the Karaoke 🎤 😊

Our sensations have been awesome, nice food, big portions and amazing flavour. Totally recommended. Thank you Talk N Tikka whole team for your lovely food.

Great authentic Indian food place. Prices are pretty good as well. Most of the dishes I had have been spicy.

One of the finest restaurants in milton keyen for Indian spicy food, I have tried 3 different menu tandoori pomfret, hyd briyani and sezwan noodles all were great in taste Highly recommended 👌

I was recommended by my daughter, excellent freshly cooked dishes, perfect butter chicken, prepared well. Not greasy

It was excellent food like our homely food

This is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. The food is very good and the ambiance was pleasant.

Best food and even better service. Staffs are polite and friendly. I recommend any lamb dishes and the tandoori pomfret.

Fantastic service, great taste with reasonable price. Every food in the menu is being served with great quantity. Appreciation to the waiter staff and management for giving the exceptional service and food.

Talk and Tikka food is very delicious with reasonable prices. Goutam from talk and tikka was very responsible in delivering the food and he was very polite.Overall very good experience

Nice authentic Indian restaurant. Decent choice, delicious.

Had a takeaway. Absolutely disgusting… portions not as advertised. Chicken Tikka so hot you couldn’t eat, suspect it was to hide the taste of bad chicken. Naan full of revolting paste. Do not waste your money!

Had the best meal ever tonight, had the dosa masala crispy and dhal were very good, had the chickpea curry with paratha bread again very delicious. They even made me a marsala chai as it was freezing tonight. I love it so much glad this little gem is only round the corner.

Cosy place, freshly prepared food so takes little longer, brilliant service

Good Spicy food feels like a real Indian restaurant in Milton Keynes, Nice atmosphere and very fast service.

food was great recommend 100%😋😋😋🪔

Delicious and authentic Indian food, with very sensible prices. Highly recommended!

Food is amazing and close to Indian taste.. Staff is very friendly. There is one guy Karthik.. he will serve you first with his lovely smile and then he will take order..

Very bad experience with owner . Don’t have humanity

The best Indian restaurant in MK (Bletchley). After comparing the other Indian restaurants in MK , - I feel cost, quantity and quality is far better in talk and tikka !!! Hats off suresh anna !!

Great place to dine in, fantastic food, various options, reasonable price and nice ambiance. Happy to visit again, once we are around Milton Keynes.

Fantastic food with typical Indian ambience. The service was superb. Had a wonderful experience altogether with Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar's song as background scores with the mouthwatering tastes of kebabs, tandoori and curries and not to forget the desserts...enjoyed every bit of it.

The food we had enjoyed at the time of dinner, it was really delicious taste with great quality, everything had unique indian food taste which we had ordered. Nice arrangement of food plating and good services from the staff while eating.

Food quality is very very poor, tried Chole Batura, which was literally yellow in color. It's seems they have reused some old frying oil. Have tried Chicken Kothu Parotta, it was literally reheated from a early day left over, also completly bad smoky flavour. Very poor quality, which I never expected.

Top-notch! More delicious food I ever had. This is definitely must try who craves Indian cuisine. We tried Tandoori pomfret, Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani, Chicken Tikka, and Guntur Kodi Pulusu that was fantabulous. I would recommend this restaurant to my friends & family! A very friendly environment and excellent staffs. Love this place.

I ordered home delivery for my daughter's 1st bday party. Food was excellent, great packaging and amazingly timely delivery as per our request. Thanks a lot!

Great food and friendly staff. Tastes very much like at home in India. As the name suggests the grilled dishes are the highlight, would recommend the tandoori chicken for sure.

Highly recommended, the food here is delicious. Generous portions, and friendly staff. Suggested things to try: Ghee Roasted Masala Dosa Triveni Juice - this is a freshly made juice of a mix of fruits with a hint of ginger - top tip, you can ask the server to vary the amount of ginger if your prefer it to be stronger or weaker. Anything with the Manchurian sauce - this is an Indo Chinese sauce which is made with generous amounts of spring onion, ginger and chillies creating a real kick to the sauce. You can either have these dishes more dry to have on its own (starter) or saucy to go with rice and naan (main). Chettinand Curry. Spicy curry 🔥.

Ordered from here for the first time, getting egg noodles, chicken tikka masala and a butter naan. The egg noodles were probably the best thing of the entire order - the chicken tikka masala was spicier than I expected, and a little tough on a few of the chicken bites in the sauce. The naan is just a naan - same as you find pretty much anywhere. Overall, it's a decent place - just make sure you go a level under the spiciness you normally prefer!

Amazing South-Indian dishes. Impeccable delivery service and recently specialising on party food. Kudos to Suresh and team. Keep it up.

The best place to eat Indian food in milton keynes sorroundings

Reasonable prices for the food will go there again

Service & ambience is better, food quality & tase is just ok, i am saying this as i am a Pakistani and we are a bit more conscious about spice balance. Portion size was good. Their Mango Lassi (mango and yogurt shake) is popular and worth trying but slightly over priced. They serve Halal meat as they claim so one more option for Halal food lovers.

Visited this place 2nd time. Amazing food. Tandoori chicken was delicious, Hyderabadi dum biryani was too good. Will visit again.

Must be old food served Food poison stomachache for the next two days. Avoid at any cost

Ordered catering service and right from start to end everything was taken care and excellent food. Will never hesitate to order again.

I had arranged Catering (Lunch and evening Tea with Snacks) with TalknTikka for an outdoor event for 480 people in Milton Keynes. TalknTikka did a fantastic job. They sourced large high quality eco friendly Takeaway boxes, tested them for their food freshness before the event. On the day, the delivery was on time - We had tasty large quantity of food - Veg and Chicken biriyani, Gulab Jamun and Raitha, all well packed. The Gulab Jamun and Curd rice for kids was given free Evening we were given Tea and Pakoda, which were tasty and in large quantity. Overall, everyone in the event was satisfied with the food and the quantity and packaging.

We ordered food for our Lunch Party and the quality of the food and service was out of the world. The perfect place to order for the perfect party. The street food starters and the yummylicious mains along with the sweet dish was a super combination which was hit with all our guests. Talk and Tikka was the talk of the guests while eating the tikka.

Great authentic food. Spicy as per original recipes. Very good service from the owner and all the staff. Highly recommend if you like Indian food. Parking is a challenge near the restaurant. Try chettinad curries, Gobi Manchurian and other chilli chicken versions if you can handle the spices.

Worst restaurant I've ever visited Got food poisoning Must be prepared unhygienic Better Avoid for your health

The food was delicious and all my guests enjoyed it. It was my daughter birthday and they catered to my house.

Food tastes so good. our all time favourite is tandoori chicken and schezwan chicken noodles. The food arrives on time( the best part when you go with little kids).. I highly recommend Talk N Tikka . Thanks

The food was great and served in generous quantities. The staff was also very friendly! I definitely recommend for a night out.

"I was so impressed with my dinner this evening!" My friend ordered the Tandoori Pomfret while I had the Jackfruit Biryani. We both completed our entire plates and were so impressed  with the food's quality. Waitress was friendly and accommodating. I will surely revisit Talkntikka again!"

This place is a hidden gem, best curry I have had in MK and the staff are really nice and welcoming 👍

We had a house warming party for 50 people. I must say Talk & Tikka service is superb with best food taste and quality. I would recommend for any small or big party. Special thanks to Goutom and Suresh for making our day awesome with...
