TIKKA INDIAN CUISINE – Indian
The original room, on the 41 Bypass in Venice, and still the one that set the standard before the Sarasota branch followed. Tikka Indian Cuisine cooks the North Indian canon without hedging: tandoori specialties out of the clay oven, tikka masala, saag, biryani, a long run of curries, and naan baked fresh to order. Spicing is adjusted to the table rather than flattened for everyone. Vegetarian diners get real options, not a token corner of the menu. Service is unhurried and familiar, the sort that remembers an order. Small-town Gulf Coast, serious kitchen.
