What Is a Chicken Tikka Burger? Smoky Tandoori Smash in Herndon

The chicken tikka burger is one of the easiest ways to fall for desi flavor on a bun. It takes the smoky, tandoori spiced chicken you love from a tikka platter and serves it the smash burger way. At Burger Bhai in Herndon, the Chick A Tikka is a regular first order for anyone new to our menu.

What is chicken tikka?

Chicken tikka is boneless chicken marinated in yogurt and warm South Asian spices like ginger, garlic, cumin, paprika, and garam masala, then cooked hot until the edges char and smoke. It is juicy inside, smoky outside, and full of flavor without being heavy.

What makes the chicken tikka burger different?

We take that marinated, char grilled tikka chicken and build it into a proper burger: a soft bun, fresh toppings, and our house sauce. You get the deep tandoori flavor of tikka with the comfort and bite of a smash burger. It is familiar and new at the same time.

How does it taste?

Smoky, savory, and gently spiced, with a juicy char grilled chicken patty and a creamy sauce to balance it. It pairs perfectly with our masala loaded fries and a thick kulfi or falooda milkshake.
