Chicken tikka is one of those rare foods that are not just super delicious but also incredibly healthy and goes well on a high protein and low carbohydrate diet. However, that’s not why you would want to have this desi favourite. Cooked with red chillies, spices and sometimes yoghurt, it is the perfect meal to snack on. Period.

Here are our top 3 places to have chicken tikka from:

Red Apple

When you have a favourite food item, it is useful to have a list of places where they will never mess it up. Red Apple is one such place for chicken tikka. Available at a very reasonable price, the chicken tikkas at Red Apple are cooked to perfection. You will be hard pressed to find a single raw bit – a common problem with tikkas when they are not made well. They are loaded with delicious spices and are served with an imli ki chutney that will have you wanting more.
