Food Friday: Tikka Craze

Craving some Pakistani/Indian food? Well I found a small place on North Portland Ave that serves some really good food and it’s not a buffet.

We have been meaning to try Tikka Craze for quite a while, honestly keep forgetting. So one Saturday night, while out taking pictures of historic places, we both remembered and stopped in to try it out. Once again, another case of we should have stopped in earlier. Located in a big shopping center, there is a small dining room and you order at the counter. The girl who took our order was super nice and understanding. The have a big selection on their menu so we decided to try the combo meal with 2 entrees. I got sweet butter chicken and spinach with potato while Big K got grilled chicken tikka also with spinach and potato. The combos come with biryani and rice as well as a warm pita. It didn’t take long for us to get our food. My butter chicken was great, had a lovely sweet taste that I had not experienced before. The spinach with potato was great as well, had a buttery base that enhanced the flavor. The biryani and rice did have a bit of heat to it but nothing overwhelming. The highlight was the pita. So fresh and light, just the right amount of butter melted on top. It truly made the whole dinner. Big K loved everything in his combo. He agreed about the pita. The servings are huge and we both took home leftovers.

Tikka Craze is a really good place for Pakistani/Indian food. It helps if you know what you are getting, if you aren’t familiar with the food for this region I do suggest a buffet to try first. I’m giving them 5 strips of bacon.

Food Friday: Sizzle N Spice Kebab Grill

I love to try new food from different parts of the world. Since I don’t have the time or money to travel out of the country, I like to try the new places that open here in Oklahoma City. 

Sizzle N Spice Kebab Grill in NW Oklahoma City has been open for a few years but I just recently had a chance to visit. There menu is Halal Pakistani food that is different from the typical Indian food that I’ve been used to eating. I went on a Saturday afternoon for their grand lunch buffet. Now I have to admit, I didn’t do the correct journalist thing and take notes on everything I tried, so I don’t have the names for several of the dishes. I will tell you everything that I did sample was great. I went back for several things because they were so good. I also know that their buffet changes each week, so just because I tried something doesn’t mean it will be there the next time. The one constant they have is their naan, it was truly amazing. Soft and warm with some butter. They had several meat dishes, not just chicken but beef that were so good. 

The restaurant is in a strip mall on north May Ave and is a bit small inside. They do have the buffet at other times but the Saturday buffet is supposed to have the most of their menu to try. They also have a regular menu you can order from anytime. While we were there, it was really busy but the service was great. Give them a try if you’re up for different foods, 5 strips of bacon.

Address: 15001 N May Ave., Suite H, Oklahoma City.
