About
Built for the person holding the skewers.
tikka.si is a small, independent guide to Pakistani BBQ at home and out in the city. No accounts, no ads, no star ratings.
What we believe
BBQ is a social food. The point of getting the marinade right is that more people get a good plate. Recipes are written per kilo so they scale to the crowd you actually have.
How we cook
With a thermometer. Times are useful estimates, but the safe numbers come from the USDA FSIS chart: 74°C for chicken, 71°C for minced beef and lamb, 63°C plus a 3 minute rest for whole cuts.
How spots work
Anyone can suggest a place. Every submission is held for review by the tikka.si team before it is shown, and anyone can report a listing that is closed or wrong. Moderation happens privately, not through a public admin.
