How To Use Tikka Credits
“From Indian streets to your plate -
Every crisp ball filled with flavours”
If you ask any Indian what their favourite street food is, there’s a good chance they will say pani puri. Some call it golgappa, others call it puchka, gupchup, or pani ke patashe. Whatever the name, the feeling is the same - pure joy in one small, crispy ball.
At Tikka Nation, an authentic Indian restaurant, we bring you the same flavour, crunch, and excitement you’d get from a busy street corner in Mumbai or Delhi. We serve the best pani puri for anyone who wants a little taste of home or wants to try one of the best Indian dishes ever created.
Pani puri is simple, yet magical. It starts with a hollow, golden puri - light, crispy, and ready to be filled. Into it goes spicy mashed potato, tangy tamarind chutney, and a mix of Indian spices. The puri is then dipped in chilled, flavoured water - usually spicy mint or sweet tamarind or any other herb and eaten in one bite.
That single bite is an explosion of flavours - sweet, sour, spicy, and crunchy - all at once. This is why it is one of the most loved dishes of India.
The history of pani puri takes us back hundreds of years. Many believe it started in the eastern parts of India, while others say it was born in Uttar Pradesh. No matter where it began, it soon spread across the country, becoming a star in every Indian dhaba, market, and street corner.
In India, it’s more than just food. Friends huddle around the pani puri stall, eyes sparkling as they wait for that next burst of flavour. The vendor asks, “Tikha ya meetha?” (Spicy or sweet?) and serves each puri fresh. People laugh, chat, and share stories - all while enjoying plate after plate.
At Tikka Nation, we wanted to bring that same spirit. Our chefs prepare pani puri with care, making sure every bite is crispy and feels like it came straight from the streets of Mumbai or Kolkata.
Pani puri is not just about taste - it’s about the experience of many flavours together. The moment you hold that little puri, you know something special is coming. Then, the cold, tangy water hits your tongue, the spice kicks in, and the crunch makes you smile.
For Indians living abroad, pani puri is nostalgia. It reminds them of home - school days with friends, late-night snacks after work, or festivals where everyone gathers to eat their favourite street food.
And for those trying it for the first time in our Indian restaurant, it’s an adventure - a burst of flavours they’ve never had before.
Pani puri’s journey from small Indian towns to big cities all over the world, is a story of love and craving for Indian spices. It’s travelled across regions, changing slightly in taste and name, but keeping its soul the same.
In Mumbai, it’s spicy and tangy. In Kolkata, the golgappa is softer with a sweet touch. In Delhi, it’s crunchy and loaded with chickpeas. Every region adds its own twist, but the joy remains.
Now, thanks to Indian eateries like ours, you can taste this journey outside India.
We serve pani puri just the way it should be - fresh, flavourful, and fun. Our flavourful water is made of Indian spices. The filling is made with perfectly boiled potatoes, chickpeas, and a hint of masala.

The best part? Pani puri at Tikka Nation is naturally vegetarian and can be made into vegan Indian food without losing its taste. We use fresh ingredients, clean water, and no artificial colours or flavours.
For those who are health-conscious, you can still enjoy it guilt-free. While street-side pani puri in India may not always be healthy, our version is clean, hygienic, and made with care - a perfect fit for anyone looking for healthy Indian food options.
