About us

A pleasant experience to anyone interested in real Indian and Pakistani food!

Located on Ellis Street downtown San Francisco, Tikka Masala is a groundbreaking restaurant serving Chef Sikandar Malik's pioneering Indian and Pakistani cuisine. With his signature blend of authentic Indian and Pakistani spices and the finest local, seasonal ingredients, Chef Malik expertly applies unique techniques to re-create the flavors of his native country, and oversees a talented team of highly experienced cooks.

Tikka Masala is a family-owned business which first opened in 2004 in the Inner Sunset neighborhood of San Francisco. Our Owner/Chef comes from a background of hospitality with larger operations but decided to scale down to small and inviting restaurants where he could get to know his customers and be more community-centric. We pride ourselves on excellent food, great customer service and cleanliness. At Tikka Masala you'll enjoy traditional Indian and Pakistani cuisine, carefully prepared dishes with fresh spices and excellent service. Whether you are hosting an intimate dinner party for four or a business reception for 30, we will serve you a memorable feast!

Our food meets a high quality standard with only the finest ingredients and we enjoy nothing more than satisfying your taste buds and putting a smile on your face. We'd like to thank all of our customers for making Tikka Masala a successful business and we greatly value your feedback. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions please contact us.
