I like this place. Great for quick lunch. They have spicy vindaloo which is really spicy (not fake spicy like other restaurants ) I always put paneer and chicken for my wrap. So good! I brought indian friends several times and they love here too.

After long time we have a place in Boston that has good Indian food. I tried the bowl and chicken tandoori and both were really tasty. The price is really affordable for the quantity and quality of the food. Id recommend this place to everyone.

Excellent Indian food! The rice bowl is the main dish of the place. It’s like Indian Chipotle. I come here very often and have found the quality of food to be consistently good over time. Some other good dishes are: Vada Pav, Loaded fries Make sure to add the Vindaloo sauce in your rice bowl. The Tikka Masala sauce as well. Buy the mango lassi because that’s an exceptionally good drink. Decent service overall.

I dined here today & everything was amazing! All of the food was so fresh & danced on my taste buds! Gopi that works here was so very kind in letting me the different sauces that varied on spice level. This spot is about 5-10 minutes away from Fenway too! For ever having Indian food before, this definitely exceeded my expectations. I ordered the chicken bowl, tandoori chicken, samosas, & vada pav. If you find yourself in the Kenmore / Fenway area, totally give this place a shot! You won’t be dissatisfied!

Wow Tikka, nestled in Boston's vibrant Fenway area at 84 Peterborough St, offers a delightful twist on traditional Indian cuisine with its quick and casual dining setup. This spot stands out for its innovative approach to Indian food, making it both accessible and fun, perfect for a meal on the go. The standout dish during my visit was the naan kati roll filled with chicken. It was bursting with flavors, showcasing a generous mix of spices and ingredients all tightly packed into a soft naan rollup. The fusion of flavors and textures makes this dish a must-try for anyone craving a quick yet satisfying meal. Accompanying the meal was their mango lassi, which offered a sweet and creamy respite from the spiced fare. The naan pizza, another fusion creation, combined the comforting familiarity of pizza with the bold spices of Indian cuisine, creating an enjoyable and unique eating experience. Wow Tikka's model of serving allows for a personalized dining experience, differentiating it from the typical family-style service found in many Indian restaurants. Their website aptly describes the setup as “Indian food made easy and fun,” and my experience echoed this sentiment. The affordability is another significant draw, with prices like 10 for a hearty bowl and 8 for a naan rollup kati offering great value. While the ambiance is simple, with a straightforward, no-frills setting reflecting its grab-and-go nature (rated 5/10), it’s the food quality and prices that truly shine here, with ratings of 8/10 and 9/10 respectively. The only drawback is their limited delivery options, which unfortunately don't extend outside Boston—a minor inconvenience for those living farther away who are eager to enjoy what Wow Tikka has to offer. Overall, if you're in the Fenway area and looking for delicious, budget-friendly Indian meals with a creative twist, Wow Tikka is definitely worth a visit.

The food at Wow Tikka is delicious. The chicken is cooked to perfection and the vindaloo sauce is to die for. There’s so many choices when it comes to make your own bowl. It’s a very allergy friendly environment, all menu items containing allergens are labeled. The workers are so friendly and the service is so quick! Great choice when you need a quick bite.

If I have to think of 1 thing I don’t like about Wow!! Tikka, it would be the distance. I’m sad that this place is not right next door to me. Tucked in a residential area near Fenway Park is this gem! I love how you can pick and choose your base, proteins, sauces, and toppings. It is quick, casual, and super yummy. Those meatballs are addictive but the entire meal itself is beyond fulfilling. Definitely a must visit!

I stopped by this gem and tried their Nimbu Pani (freshly squeezed limeade) and Mango Lassi (mango flavored yogurt smoothie) - both were refreshing and delicious! But the real highlight was the food! Make sure to create your own bowl and choose from a variety of healthy options, including proteins and sauces. Don't forget to add some of their amazing sauces to take it to the next level! Some must-try dishes: Kachori Chat: crispy and flavorful Tandoori Chicken: tender and juicy Wow! Vada Pav (very spicy): for those who like a little heat Vegetable Samosa: crispy and savory Aloo Tikki: potato perfection The atmosphere is wonderful, with both indoor and outdoor seating available. Plus, the staff is super friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great Indian food in Fenway!
