Fish Tikka Masala
About This Dish
Fish Tikka Masala is a delightful curry made with tender fish fillets, marinated in a blend of yogurt, garlic, ginger, and spices, then cooked in a creamy tomato-based sauce. The fish is grilled or baked, allowing it to absorb the spices before being added to the sauce. The result is a mild yet flavorful curry where the soft texture of the fish contrasts beautifully with the rich, tangy sauce. The aromatic spices and the creaminess of the sauce make it a perfect pairing with basmati rice or naan.
History & Tradition
While Chicken Tikka Masala is often considered the UK’s national dish, Fish Tikka Masala is a variation that showcases India’s coastal regions, where fish is widely used in cooking. The tikka masala technique, which involves grilling the marinated meat before adding it to the sauce, was popularized in the Punjabi cuisine of North India and later became a staple in Indian restaurants worldwide. Fish Tikka Masala combines the grilling technique with a creamy, tangy sauce, providing a lighter alternative to meat-based masalas.
What Makes It Special
What makes Fish Tikka Masala special is the delicate balance of flavors. The fish, marinated in a spicy yogurt mix, is first grilled or baked to develop a smoky, charred flavor, and then added to a creamy tomato sauce. The result is a dish that offers richness and tang, without being too heavy. The soft texture of the fish absorbs the flavors of the sauce, creating a delightful contrast to the bold spices in the curry. It’s a light yet satisfying option that brings the best of coastal Indian cuisine.

Yakhni Pulao — A dish that carries the land’s story, here for one last weekend!
In the snow-dusted stillness of Kashmir, where time slows and the aroma of saffron clings to the air, Yakhni Pulao was born. Rooted in centuries of tradition, this delicate dish uses a slow-simmered broth of bones and whole spices—yakhni—to infuse every grain of rice with soul. It’s not fiery or loud; it’s food that whispers, food that remembers.
As the beauty of Kashmir stands shadowed by sorrow, we offer this dish with reverence. Our thoughts are with the people of Kashmir, a land of beauty and sorrow, of resilience and grace. We honour their heritage through this dish — and invite you to taste, reflect, and remember. A tribute to its people, its poetry, its perseverance. Yakhni Pulao will be leaving our menu after this weekend — and we don’t know when it will return.
Only this weekend at:
BKC Marble Arch - 7 Edgware Road, London W2 2ER
BKC Soho - 8 Moor Street, London W1D 5ND
Book your table. This isn’t just a dish — it’s a memory served warm!

This Earth Day, taste the change at BKC – Where sustainability meets tradition!
This Earth Day, we honour what’s always been true — sustainability is in BKC’s DNA. From eco-conscious packaging and farm-fresh produce to our signature clay handis, every choice we make is rooted in respect for the planet. For us, mindful eating isn’t a trend — it’s our way of life.
Our Biryani by the Kilo concept isn’t just about tradition or theatrics. It’s our commitment to reducing waste and preserving quality. Cooking in sealed clay handis locks in flavour, minimises energy use, and eliminates the need for plastic-heavy packaging. Every handi is portioned to serve, to share, and to savour — just as nature intended!

Chai & Nostalgia – A Sip of Yesterday, Today!
Long before coffee shops and cold brews, there was chai. Poured in steel cups at college canteens, passed around in clay kulhads at train stations and savoured with gup-shups at home—always with something on the side. It’s a pause in the day, a conversation starter, a warm memory in a cup.
This 21st April, we’re raising our cups to National Tea Day the way it was always meant to be—old-school and full of feeling. At BKC, our Kadak Chai is spiced with cardamom and ginger, served with piping hot samosas, toasted bun makhan—and, just for today, a little extra something: a side of Parle-G biscuits on the house when you stop by and join our BKC Instagram family.
It’s our ode to the chai breaks that shaped our lives!

A legacy in simmer and silence – Yakhni Pulao for National Heritage Day!
On National Heritage Day, we honour the traditions that have shaped our kitchens and stirred our souls. Among them is Yakhni Pulao—a whisper of Kashmir, steeped in history and scent. In homes cradled by the snow-covered valleys, this dish was never rushed. The magic began with yakhni—a delicate broth brewed patiently with fennel, cloves, and cardamom—infusing the air with a warmth that defied the chill outside.
At BKC London, we don’t just serve Yakhni Pulao—we bring you into the story of how it’s made. Every weekend this April, watch tradition unfold as the broth is slow-simmered, meat softened to perfection, and saffron-layered rice sealed gently in a handi. The pot is left to rest, letting time and care do their quiet work. Come experience the poetry of patience, the aroma of history, and the soulful beauty of Kashmiri cuisine—one fragrant spoonful at a time.

When memories were served: A Poila Boishakh thank you from BKC!
This Poila Boishakh, you didn’t just join us for a meal — you brought warmth, stories, and nostalgia to our tables. We were told it was the most authentic Bengali food in London — and that means everything to us. The flavours came alive through Chef Deepankar Paul’s soulful cooking and the incredible teamwork led by Head Chef Arsh Thakur.
From Gondhoraj Ghol to Kosha Mangsho, every dish carried the scent and memory of home. You came for the food, but stayed for the feeling — of celebration, of belonging. Thank you, London & @myosutra_mysutra , for making this a new year we’ll never forget. This wasn’t just a menu — it was a moment made sweeter by you.
This long weekend, come experience that same warmth — the bold Awadhi flavours, the grace of our mehmaan nawazi, and the soulful cooking that makes BKC Marble Arch – 7 Edgware Road feel like home.
