Master Critic Review
Tikka King
7.5
A Bath Beach grill-forward spot that works best when you treat it like a focused kebab and tikka pickup. The highest ROI is choosing one tikka style and one minced kebab so you get both texture and spice balance without over-ordering. Keep the order tight and it’s a solid quick-hit BBQ meal.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken tikka, Seekh kebab, Malai tikka
