Their deals are really nice, thou without deals it gets highly expensive. i wish they had unlimited puri’s because i truly love their puri. The combination of bbq with puri or rice is just love with a touch of arabic and desi cusine making it love for sure. even thou i am not a veggie person but their veggies are perfectly roasted with juicy texture. The bbq is never over cooked, and is good in quantity.

Food ordered: chicken mix grill
the dish was served with Rotis to eat the with. 
the chicken tikka, boti, and chicken seekh kabab tasted good. the chicken tikka was the best among them. the flavor was good but is costly for the dish given. The chicken tikka is a must-try and the staff is friendly

Ordered Chicken Tikka , Achari chicken , Mutton kabab masala , Paratha Poori , Tandoori roti ..

Wowwwwwwwww food ... Each Item was fab except Paratha poori .. Chicken tikka was good but both the gravies were star dishes , especially mutton kabab Masala .. Spices , taste , goodness everything was balanced .. Really liked the food .. only problem with Paratha poori was it was very thick and oily too .. Definitely want to try again and again ..

Dish of the day : Mutton kabab masala

Value for money : ✌✌✌✌✌

Over all experience : ✌✌✌✌✌

I haven't been to the restaurant to have the food, but I always on rule order their Palak paneer.

Rich with a thick, gravy of spinach leaves added to soft succulent paneer I cannot emphasize how much I enjoy their palak paneer. This must be an ironic review considering I am praising their veg dish when the very name of the restaurant has 'chicken' in it!

To enjoy Great Pakistani cuisine, step into one of the early eateries of Dubai... Its a great place for Kebabs, the mixed-grilled kebab platter is worth every Dirham and there Bihari Kababs are the most succulent!
This restaurant is One of the original Pakistani food restaurants in Dubai... they have an excellent menu and the taste is the same continuously and has been consistent for decades.
A place worth visiting!!

As we were been for shopping, we are famished and looking for some good restaurants.

Finally we found this good place and ordered for Chicken biryani- which was spicy and too good in taste. It has Indian flavoured cuisine. The Raita was Thick enough and was very tasty.

With friendly service and good quality and quantity this can be rated 3.5/5 for everything.!!!

Ive eaten here many a time. The brand from the 80s is not what it is today it has definitely changed but not for the worst. I really enjoyed the food back then and the experience was quite unique. Now I’m giving a rating of 4 only because of nostalgia but also I’ve seen the prices jump over the years. This branch is cozy, and by cozy I mean quite tight. I Usually go for take out. Out of 10 orders Id say have a buffer that 1 or 2 orders might not be that great (something might mess up) but they got great grilled food if you’re in a rush and need to get it done ASAP. Couple of times my chicken was slight over done but that definitely is not always the case.

I absolutely love Chicken Tikka Inn meals! My favorite is handi chicken achari. Tender pieces of chicken cooked in aromatic achari sauce and hot bread is a treat! I must add that it has a unique flavour and taste. It's neither too oily nor too dry; perfect blend of spices. I love this mouth watering handi from chicken tikka inn.

Ordered plain nan, tandoori roti and dal Makhni. The food items and the salad was good. The plain nan could have been better. It was too thick almost like a bread roll. Also consider adding dal tadka to the menu as its on the lighter side of dal Makhni.

🐔 Tikka Inn is very close to our ❤ when it comes to our couple outings. We love to visit the Barsha branch as it's just a 100 metres walk from home.

They are our # Craving Saviours when we just wanna hog quality 🐔 or mutton at a pocket friendly place. On top of that they have discounts on ENBD cards 😁 So 1 more reason to frequent this joint 😉.

Abhiurfoodie recommends # 🐔 kebab roll,# Haleem, # All 🐔 starters, Qeema Naan, # Bhindi pyaaza ( surprise element ), # 🐔 Biryani to name a few.

Foodie Tip - They are grill and tikka specialists so don't go round a lot from the menu. Please grab the 🐔 and just Burrp 😝.

Keep griiling guys. You G-rock ❤👍.

A Dubai classic. They catered my parents wedding in the 80s and we still order take-out on monthly basis. The famous Quarter Chicken Tikka puts Nando's to shame, the Chicken Seekh Kabab is a must try and they are the only restaurant that I have come across that serves more chicken than curry in their Butter Chicken! However, they're best known for their Puri bread - the ultimate cheat day savoury!! Enjoy :)

Chicken Tikka Inn– Al Barsha 1 – Dubai

Cuisine: Indian (North Indian Grill/ Tandoor/BBQ)

All reviews will be based on the Cuisine and Fare the restaurant/outlet is known for / specialized in.

ALL RATING ARE IN THE SCALE OF 5. A rating of 5 mean Excellent while 1 is Poor

North Indian Tandoori/Grill food is all about the richness of the meat and the perfect flavour of the spice/seasoning. Chicken Tikka Inn (CTI) does justice to that.

FOOD: RATING 4.5 OUT OF 5.

The place is known for its North Indian Grill and it lives up to the expectations

Item 1 – Starters – Salads & Soups: The items in this section is just to ensure that the menu covers up all the standard options in a menu. The soups and salads are here to entice the non-Indian contingent of Al Barsha area. The Indian taste buds can give it a skip.

Item 2 – Signature Grills: This is where CTI starts showing their true colours and taste tinglers. There are quite a few in the list but here are my picks

• Chicken Tikka – Order the spicy one. Use your fingers/hands and the Mint Chutney.

• Chicken Boti – Succulent pieces of chicken with a tangy taste

• Mutton Seekh Kebab – Though I always believe the Pakistani cuisine excel in Mutton dishes, CTI does a good job.

Item 3 – CTI Chef Specials: The “Chef Special” item is something that many restaurants do and is usually just a gimmick to entice the customer. CTI does entice and the dishes does give you ample amount of happiness.

There is a quiet a few “international” or should say “not completely India” dishes in this menu list. Just like the starters, the non-Indian contingent factor comes into play. My picks are

• Chapli Kebab : Ouch! The green chillies but still a good dish.

• Chicken Tikka Masala: It is a good dish with a rather rich ingredients. Mind you! The Methi (fenugreek) taste may be a little overpowering for some.

Item 4 – Famous Curries: This is pure North-Indian Meat loving fare and almost all dishes in this menu list does bring out a smile and air of happiness while eating and after eating.

Item 5– Chinese: Please refer Item 1 of this review

Item 6 – Vegetarian Delights – Strictly speaking, a restaurant that specialises in good old North Indian non-veg grills and tandoori does a rather poor job with the vegetable dishes.

CTI is not one of them, they treat their veggies with the same marinate and love as their meat. My picks are as follows

• Dal Makhani : Oh! Balle! Balle! What a dish!

• Chana Masala: This is good but not as good as the Makhani (oh! Balle! Balle! Again)

Item 7 – Rice & Rotis : I haven’t tried the rice items. I am not sure if I will ever for the Breads/Rotis/Naans are just too good. My picks are as follows

• Garlic Naan – Soft, Garlicy and Aromatic

• Tandoori Butter Naan – Nice!

SERVICE – 4 OUT OF 5

CTI is known more for its take away and delivery. They do have a few tables and waiters and it is usually full at peak times.

The service staff is friendly and courteous as well as very well versed in their menu. Language is not a problem. Home Delivery is easy over the phone and much easier over Zomato Online Ordering.

LOCATION – 2.5 OUT 5

It is in Barsha, tucked near the Lulu Hypermarket/ American School traffic lights and in the heart of Barsha 1. Parking is a hassle to say the least and there is not dedicated parking area nearby. If you are opting for dine, I suggest you either gear up for a parking space roulette or opt the Lulu Hypermarket parking (200-300) meters away.

PRICING: 5 means cheapest while 1 means expensive.

I RATE THIS PLACE 3.5 (Affordable)

For a place that dishes out pretty decent food and also a good serving size, the pricing is quiet affordable especially in an rather “affluent” area like Barsha

AMBIANCE: 3 OUT 5

Nothing much of an ambiance. No family section or any sort of private dining area. It is more of a café setting. I must say though the place is clean and suitable for people wanting to have a good meal rather than a comfortable dining experience.

DECOR AND SEATING CAPACITY – 3 OUT 5

Just a few tables with 4 chairs each. Nothing fancy at all. Considering the pricing structure, I presume the management is more reliant on the takeaway and delivery part of business. This way they cut the overheads on maintaining a rather elaborate dine-in feature.

OVERALL RATING: 3.5 OUT OF 5.

The food is worth a visit and surely worth the money. A rating of 4 is an option but then given the fact that the Dine-in feature is rather lacklustre and the location (in terms of parking), the rating goes down to 3.5

Ordered from chicken tikka in and it never disappoints ... Have been eating at the branch in Jumeirah beach road for years and always have the same and the Barsha branch did not disappoint ... Chicken tikka quarter piece with different kind of Nan's and raita to tame the flames but well worth the burn

This place serves good Tikka chicken, tried both spicy and regular. Puri bread is great as well.
Their Biryani rice and French fries are not the best but still I would order them as sides once in a while. If you are into tikka this is a recommendation.
Tried their business bay branch as well, and it is as good

Easily the best food of its kind in Barsha.

Delivery is fast and portion sizes are generous.

Food has never failed to hit the spot. It certainly rivals places like Ravi and Karachi Darbaar.

My recommendation: Mutton Tikka and Chicken Handi. and lots and lots of naan. Yum.

Delivery is quick and when eating in, it's not too bad either.

This place has been a favourite since childhood so I might tend to be a little biased in my review. Although I've lost count of the numbers I've eaten here or ordered in from here, I have only stuck to the basics. 
Their seekh kebabs, chicken tikka, hale and puri parathas have ruled my tastebuds for years now. While they may not be the most amazing tikka or kebab you may have eaten in your life, they sure come real close. From Mankhool to JLT, i wouldn't bat an eyelid if I had to eat at any of their outlets again.

Pakistani joint and is great for kebabs and tikka. Have tried their chicken tikka and reshmi kabab with puri paratha and chutney. After a long time I had a great kebab especially chicken based. Have to try their curries but the quantity is too much for one person so waiting for company to try other stuff. They quiet pricy and I believe it's because of the location and rent they have to pay.

Brilliant grilled chicken the tikka way, their bread and dhal fry is to die for, it's a good place for a different kind of food, international flavor with a Pakistani touch, if you want to sit there it's not very comfortable because of limited space and noisy atmosphere, however it's perfect for take out or order home, I recommend most of their dishes because they are true value for money.

Its a tiny little restaurant with barely enough space for 15 people at any one time. Standard Pakistani fare although their Nihari and Chapli Kebabs are ace. They do offer a couple of chinese options which is completely random - but since I'm a fan of desi chinese, its more than welcome. The paratha rolls are nice too, but only if you eat in. For takeout or ordering in, they get all soggy by the time they get delivered. Not nice.

Staff are friendly and accomodate special cooking requests which is great!

When I am on a budget but craving something flavorful, I usually end up ordering their paneer tikka masala and a side of rice.

For the price you pay, it tastes a lot better than some restaurants who are charging double or triple the prices for the same dishes!

We went for a simple meal so just ordered the main course, chicken makhani and nehari with plain naan.
Food was good, typical Pakistani but yum. The nehari is must try although I felt that the nehari at the mankhool branch of chicken tikka inn is better.
The seating is decent, small place but nice and good location. The staff is also good. Reasonable price, good food !Taher Kamari

A very small outlet serving the tastiest of food !! That would probably sum up my experience. Chicken Tikka Masala - simply delicious. Try out the Chicken Kebab Masala, Chicken Ginger and Chicken Reshmi Kebab. If you crave for authentic Indian food, this is the place to be. If you choose not to enter considering its size and decor, you are surely missing something. The Mutton Biriyani did not appeal to me so much which could have been done better. Overall, simply fantabulous....

Very nice food. Though very British Asian Style but their Mutton Kebabs are some of the best kebabs I have had in Dubai. 
Even though it is not made in the traditional way and it is made with thick chunks and strands of chicken, their Haleem is quite decent too.
Butter Naans are amazing and even after day or 2 they are soft and taste great.
Delivery time is always quick and within the expected time.
