Tikka Nation is the gateway to India’s culinary treasures. Our vibrant menu features an array of succulent tikkas, street food favourites, and authentic flavours.

The concept for Tikka Nation was born from a shared passion by Vikas Narula and Sumit Jain to showcase the rich tapestry of Indian culture through its cuisine. Located in the heart of an upmarket UK neighborhood, our establishment quickly became more than just a place to eat; it became a destination for experiencing the authentic essence of Indian street food in a refined setting.

All our food is freshly prepared per order, every time. We offer original, gluten-free, sugar-free, vegetarian, egg-less and red velvet; all with a range of choose your own toppings. Authentic Indian breakfasts, lunches and dinner in generous portions are served with classic sides and delicious drinks. We offer coffee, Chai, smoothies, beer and cocktails so whatever the occasion, we have it covered.

Our vast variety of exciting options is what makes us special. Whether customers are grabbing a quick coffee, Masala Chai or samosas, or dining in for a special occasion, your Tikka Nation caters for everybody.

Our vision is to make our stores and operations as environmentally and socially responsible as possible. Every day we strive to conduct business in a way that has a positive impact on the environment whilst improving the lives of our customers, franchisees, employees, vendors and communities worldwide.
