Today I tried out the Tikka Tikka Indian Restaurant at the top of Vic Hill, in Old Town. And overall impressions are rather positive I must say. So what’s their offering, I hear you cry? Well as their website proclaims, it’s Indian tapas, grill and cocktails. ‘Our chefs provide authentic Indian tapas and main dishes with a modern twist.
Certainly the restaurant’s interior is rather plush and comfortable. And a far cry from the flocked wallpaper of yesteryear.
The website goes on to say:
‘Tikka Tikka is a culinary journey fuelled by two decades of expertise from our chefs trained all across the globe. From kitchens in India’s iconic hotels to world-class restaurants in Dubai, luxury cruise lines in the US, five-star hotels, and top chefs in the United Kingdom, they have worked under the watchful eyes of Sanjeev Kapoor, Bikram Jeet Pathania, and Gordon Ramsay, to name a few.’
We went at lunchtime, and my appetite wasn’t huge, so myself and my companions opted to select from the small plates menu. They being vegetarians the menu offfered plenty of choice for them. And I was pleased to see Amritsari Macchi – a fried fish dish – on the menu, it being a dish that I rather like.
A few photos of the food we ate – it was all rather delicious and I’d be happy to go back and try more of the menu. Preferably when I’ve got a bigger appetite!
I’ve got a little list
So that’s that one ticked off the ‘must-try’ list! Other recent try-outs (and approved) have been Grano Lab Italian restaurant – also on Vic Hill and The Choptank on Newport Street. I’ve also visited The 48 recently but sadly failed to get a blog done on that one.
