When you’re craving the boldest spicy tikka in Karachi, you’ll face a flavourful fork in the road—Classic Tikka or Green Tikka? At Hot N Spicy, we celebrate both, delivering expertly grilled BBQ rooted in Karachi’s rich culinary culture. From marinated chicken breast or leg grill to green chillies and herbs, our signature chicken marinated, grilled on a skewer, these dishes define what BBQ means to Karachiites.
What is Classic Chicken Tikka?
Classic Chicken Tikka is the OG of Pakistani BBQ. Using bones inside or without bone chicken leg or breast pieces, it is marinated in the extremely tasteful mixture of yogurt, garlic, ginger, cayenne powder, turmeric, lemon juice and crushed spices. This infusion not only gives tikka its dynamic red color, but also makes a juicy, bold layer when it is grilled to crusade and soft perfection.
What Sets It Apart:
- Time-honored recipe passed through generations
- Balanced blend of smoky, spicy, and tangy
- Grilled with charcoal for a bold crust and soft interior
What is Spicy Green Tikka?
If Classic Tikka is tradition, Green Tikka is revolution. Our green tikka receives its charming colour with green chillies, mint, coriander, lemon juice, garlic, and yogurt mixture. This spicy and herbaceous marinade penetrates deeply into the chicken, giving every bite a fresh, green zing.
Then we grill it on a skewer over open flames, allowing the herbs to caramelize and create a crust full of aroma and bite.
What Makes It Stand Out:
- Infused with green herbs and chillies
- Strong citrus and spice punch
- Fresh, modern BBQ that satisfies Karachi’s craving for heat
Grilling the Hot N Spicy Way
What elevates our BBQ beyond flavor is our process. Every skewer at Hot N Spicy is a product of:
- Premium halal chicken, sourced daily
- House-made marinades, blended fresh for each batch
- Traditional charcoal grilling, with close attention to timing, temperature, and rotation
- Final basting with butter or ghee for added richness
This ensures that whether you’re biting into classic or green tikka, you experience consistent flavor, juicy interiors, and perfectly crisp edges.

The Culinary Science of Marination
What makes our tikka stand out beyond technique? It’s the science of marination. Using acidic elements like lemon juice or yogurt tenderizes the chicken while spices penetrate deep. For our green tikka, mint and coriander not only enhance freshness but also help balance the heat of green chilies.
This basement creates a more dynamic journey of flavour – from smoky to spicy tangy-all in the same bite.
