Tikka Nation Expands Street Food Footprint with Three New UK Locations in Just Three Months
Tikka Nation, the fast‑casual Indian street food phenomenon, is delighted to announce the opening of three new locations across the UK in the past three months - bringing the total number of branches rapidly closer to its ambitious year-end target.
New Locations Bringing Bold Flavours to More Communities
- St Paul’s Market Place (St. Paul’s)
Opening Date: 27 May 2025 – Tikka Nation officially launched at St. Paul’s Market Place, marking it as a fresh go-to spot for shoppers craving Indian street food comfort, from chaats and kebabs to creamy curries and the iconic Vada Pao.
Offers to celebrate the opening included Buy one get one free vada pav till 7 June, plus additional timed deals and discounts for students and NHS staff.
- St George’s Shopping Centre (Harrow)
Opening Date: 2 June 2025 – Tikka Nation opened its doors at St George’s, Harrow, offering shoppers quick, flavourful Indian street food—like wraps and masala fries—crafted for life on the go and designed to add fresh dining options to the centre’s culinary mix.
- Edgware Road (Edgware Road)
Opening Date: 23 July 2025 – Tikka Nation unveiled a stylish and immersive street food venue in Edgware Road—transforming a normal shop into a vibrant eatery that evokes Mumbai’s railway platforms and street culture. The menu includes build-your-own tikka bowls, Bombay-style buns, chaat, burgers, and drinks, with halal options and both dine-in and delivery services through platforms like Just Eat, Uber Eats, and Deliveroo.
Strategic Growth & Vision
This recent expansion underscores Tikka Nation’s aggressive growth strategy in spring and early summer of 2025. With these three high‑traffic locations now open, the brand is stepping closer to its goal of reaching 18–20 total locations by the end of 2025, as reported earlier this year.
Founded in 2018 by Sumit Jain and Vikas Narula, Tikka Nation started as a passion project and has evolved—from its first store in Dorking (July 2020), expanding to multiple sites including Uxbridge, Watford, St Albans, Birmingham, and university campuses such as Leeds and Royal Holloway—into a fast-growing, community‑focused chain.
What’s Next
As Tikka Nation accelerates its reach across the UK, it remains committed to delivering bold, fresh Indian flavours—perfect for busy lives and diverse tastes. Each new location will continue to uphold the brand’s trademark of authenticity, creativity, and inclusivity.
