Tikka Shack – Indian Grub: Opening in December
Get grubbin’ on some downright delicious Indian food in The District near the splash pad. Tikka Shack chose Desert Ridge Marketplace as their second location, coming to us from Lubbock, TX. Tikka Shack is the latest fast-casual concept for Indian Food where you can experience a modern and chic vibe while slinging samosas in a friendly, casual atmosphere. Both the dining environment and the menu have been carefully curated to captivate guests with the aromatic flavors of India through the artful creation of blended spices.
Diners can expect customizable bowls of masala, tikka, and curry, as well as kebabs and fresh naan.
