TIKKA INDIAN CUISINE – Indian
The Venice dining room built the following; the Fruitville Road location carried it north into Sarasota. Tikka Indian Cuisine keeps to the classic North Indian repertoire and cooks it straight: tandoori plates off the clay oven, tikka masala, saag, biryani, a deep rotation of curries, and naan baked to order rather than warmed from a bag. The room is unfussy, the service warm, and that combination is why regulars fold it into the weeknight rotation. Vegetarians are looked after properly here, not as an afterthought. Familiar dishes, treated with care. That is most of the trick.
