What Makes Our Salmon Tikka Special?

Great seafood does not need to be buried under thick, heavy sauces. We focus entirely on enhancing the natural, buttery flavor of the salmon with a balanced marinade that highlights the fish instead of hiding it.

We use a traditional blend of creamy yogurt, fresh lemon juice, and earthy spices to coat the thick cuts of salmon. This mixture not only adds a bright, tangy kick but also keeps the meat incredibly soft and juicy before it even hits the heat.

Every bite gives you a wonderful contrast between the slightly smoky, charred exterior and the melt-in-your-mouth, flaky center. It is a lighter menu option that still delivers the bold, savory flavors you expect from our kitchen.

How We Prepare Your Salmon Tikka

Timing is absolutely everything when it comes to grilling seafood. Our chefs pay close attention to the fire, ensuring the fish develops a beautiful crust without drying out the delicate inside.

After the salmon marinates and fully absorbs those rich spices, we slide the thick chunks onto metal skewers. We cook them directly over high heat, turning them carefully so they get an even, golden-brown char on all sides.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a few questions about our grilled seafood? Here are the details you need before placing your order.

Is the salmon boneless?

Yes, we cut our tikka entirely from high-quality, boneless salmon fillets. This makes the dish completely fuss-free and very easy to eat, though we always suggest taking normal care just in case a tiny natural pin bone remains.

What should I order on the side?

It pairs beautifully with almost anything on our menu! For a light meal, try eating it alongside our Chana Chaat. If you want something a bit more filling, order a side of Garlic Naan or our freshly steamed Brown Rice.

How spicy is the marinade?

The marinade is actually very mild. We use spices specifically for their earthy aroma and deep flavor rather than intense chili heat. The yogurt and lemon juice keep the overall taste very bright and refreshing.
