About Chicken Tikka
Chicken Tikka is Americana's oldest home-grown brand, first opened in Cairo in 1972 and built on spice-marinated, flame-grilled chicken. It has grown into a casual dining chain across Egypt, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, sold on consistent taste, generous portions and accessible pricing. With Wimpy it is one of only two brands in Americana's portfolio that the company owns rather than operates under a franchise agreement.
