History was made in the US Presidential election when Kamala Harris became the first woman of colour to be US Vice President-elect. Harris's Indo-African roots were the cause of much discussion during these past few months; she even made dosa with actor Mindy Kaling. When asked, the Vice President-elect confessed tikkas of any kind being her favourite Indian food. Tikkas come in many shapes and forms and are loved by vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Let's look at five places to try the best tikka in Mumbai.
Global touch
Open for dine-in, Pritam's Global Cuisine is a true find when it comes to a variety of tikkas. It shouldn't be a surprise considering their vast menu includes European, Mughlai, as well as Pan Asian. Their PGE (whats the full form of PGE) Fusion Murgh Tikka (Rs 460) served with spinach butter garlic sauce and PGE Special Roti Tikka (Rs 460), cubes of chicken rolled in roti and cooked in a clay pot are the specialities here. For vegetarians, the Laccha Palak aur Peanut ki Tikki with Dhaniya Thecha (Rs 340), and Paneer aur Hare Pyaaz ki Tikki (Rs 330) are lip-smacking options.
