Tikka Nation brings authentic indian street food revolution to The Marlowes Shopping Centre
The Marlowes Shopping Centre is delighted to announce a major expansion of its culinary landscape with the arrival of Tikka Nation. The rapidly growing, modern Indian street food brand will officially open the doors of its new Hemel Hempstead branch on Friday, 22 May 2026, introducing local residents and visitors to a fresh, flavour-packed dining concept.
Inspired by the energetic, historic food markets of India, Tikka Nation’s mission is to redefine urban lunch breaks and casual dining by serving freshly prepared dishes rooted in authentic heritage recipes. The contemporary menu features a vibrant selection of street eats and quick-service meals that combine premium ingredients with the distinct, traditional spices of the subcontinent.
The new venue is strategically designed to align with modern lifestyles, offering a seamless, high-efficiency grab-and-go experience. Positioned perfectly for busy shoppers on the move, town centre office workers seeking an exciting midday alternative, and commuters looking for a convenient dinner option, the store bridges the gap between fast-casual convenience and genuine gourmet value.
“We are incredibly excited to welcome Tikka Nation to the town centre. Our core focus has always been to provide a varied and engaging environment for our visitors, and this opening is a fantastic addition to our food and beverage portfolio. The demand for high-quality, convenient, and diverse food options continues to rise, and Tikka Nation’s unique Indian street food offering matches what our community is looking for.” says Humphrey Mwanza, Centre Manager at The Marlowes Shopping Centre
The launch reflects the ongoing dedication of The Marlowes Shopping Centre to curate a balanced and dynamic destination that blends prominent high-street retail with creative dining options. By refreshing its food landscape, the centre continues to strengthen its role as an active social hub for the wider Hertfordshire area.
