Tikka Junction

Chicken Tikka

Smoky, charred chunks of marinated chicken from the tandoor — the restaurant's namesake dish and the one most frequently cited by regulars for its depth of char and spice penetration

Butter Chicken

A rich, velvety tomato-cream gravy with that telltale Punjabi sweetness — the benchmark dish for judging any North Indian kitchen, and reportedly one of the strongest items here

Dal Makhani

Slow-cooked black lentils with butter and cream — a dish that rewards the long cook, and a reliable indicator of whether a kitchen is cutting corners

Seekh Kebab

Spiced minced meat pressed onto skewers and grilled in the tandoor — expect juicy texture and assertive cumin-coriander heat

Biryani

Fragrant long-grain rice layered with spiced meat — the Punjabi-Pakistani style here leans aromatic rather than subtle; comes with raita

Palak Paneer

Creamy spinach gravy with house-made cheese cubes — a vegetarian anchor that holds up well against the meat-forward menu

Garlic Naan

Blistered flatbread from the tandoor, slicked with garlic butter — essential for mopping the heavier gravies

Samosa

Crisp pastry shells filled with spiced potato and peas — a reliable crowd starter; quality varies more than the mains
