Nah, it should be savory with a hint of spice, not sweet. Sweetness can ruin the classic flavor.
I once had a sweet version at a friend's place, wasn't for me. Stick to the traditional recipe for the best experience.
Chicken tikka masala traditionally has a tomato-based sauce with a balanced mix of spices; it shouldn't be overly sweet. If it tastes like dessert, something probably went wrong.
