Tikka Tonight Restaurant, Indian restaurant in Mussafah Sanaiya, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Tikka Tonight is an Indian restaurant in the Mussafah Sanaiya area of Abu Dhabi, focused on grilled dishes such as tikka preparations, kebabs, and lamb chops. The menu also covers a range of recipes from across the Indian subcontinent, including Pakistani and Hyderabadi cooking.
The restaurant grew out of the expansion of South Asian dining in Abu Dhabi, which developed alongside the arrival of workers from the Indian subcontinent over recent decades. Mussafah became one of the early areas where such restaurants concentrated, reflecting the communities that settled there.
The menu brings together cooking traditions from multiple South Asian regions, presenting Indian, Pakistani, and Hyderabadi dishes alongside each other. This variety reflects the diverse tastes of the dining community that has grown around such establishments in the city.
The restaurant is in the Mussafah industrial area, which is most easily reached by car or taxi since public transport there is limited. Booking a table in advance is a good idea, especially for groups or evening visits.
Some dishes, including Malai Boti and lamb chops, are cooked on dedicated charcoal grills and brought straight to the table still sizzling. The smell and sound of the food arriving fresh off the grill become part of the meal itself.
