Our food brings together heirloom family recipes, regional favourites picked up from my travels across India, and then those that have been influenced by my experiences thereafter.

I created The Travelling Tikki to share my love for regional Indian cuisine and cooking, and for food rooted in tradition but not bound by it.

  • All our food is handmade fresh to order. We also roast and grind our own spice blends - intoxicating aromas in the kitchen when that happens! We never use artificial colours or flavouring.

  • The meat, bread, vegetables, eggs and honey we use are locally sourced from Surrey based farms, bakeries and fellow small businesses. Our naans are from Southall - a little bit of travel to source the best!

  • We believe food brings people together and all our food experiences from our catering offers to our supper clubs are designed to be shared.

  • We only take on small to medium sized catering requests, so we can focus on giving our clients a fantastic experience, with attention to detail in food preparation, ambience and presentation - there is care, effort and intention behind every aesthetic and flavour choice we make.

  • We are a sustainable business, using reusable, recyclable or compostable tableware and packaging across our services, unless we absolutely cannot, and we encourage pre-orders to reduce food waste.

We create food experiences, inspired by India:

  • Pop-up events: Supper Club and High Chai experiences at local venues, where we bring a small group of familiar and new faces together to connect over good food and conversation. Find out when the next one will be and what’s on the menu

  • Catering:

    • Private dining experiences at a venue of your choice. A sit down delicious 3-5 course feast at a beautiful table. Find out more

    • Indian-inspired afternoon tea (High Chai) experiences, tiered stands and all, at your chosen venue. Find out more

    • Self-serve hot buffets, complete with curries, sides and accompaniments. Find out more
