Visited Wow Tikka for late night dinner. They are open till 2am. The food was really awesome. We had the rice bowls, kathi roll and vada paav. All of them tasted awesome. The vada paav does live up to the hype from other reviews, it is as close as you can get to what you’ve had in Mumbai. While i was initially skeptical about rice bowls with Indian food, it totally blew my mind. That being said, be prepared to taste something different. The variety of choices for protein - both vegetarian and non-vegetarian was really good to see, the choices for curry was amazing and the fact that they let you select two protein options (half-each) and 2 curry options (half each) is good. I really lived that they share samples of the curry sauces, so you can taste before you pick. I picked the Mango curry and the vindaloo on a base of biriyani rice - both were so different and distinct. Don’t go by the name, but the Madras curry was so delicious as well. The biriyani rice went well with the Madras curry like a perfect combination, but it also went well with the Mango curry, a very different flavor, maybe not everyone would like it. The vindaloo has really strong tangy and slightly spicy flavor and i believe wud be better when paired with the Basmati rice. The customer service was great and the lady took the time to explain the different options. It is a small place with limited seating, while it was fine when we went around midnight, it might be difficult to find seats during peak hours, but all of the food is served in easy to carry packing, so it’s easy to grab and go. Overall definitely a place to try for some fusion Indian food in a Chipotle type selection pattern along with other street food like vada paav and kathi roll. Haven’t tried the other street food options yet, but i did see the desi loaded fries being made and that looked really tempting. Will be back to try it out.
