I've been here a few times, and think the food is fantastic. I've had to lamb tikka Masala, and lamb vindaloo, and both were excellent. I've also had the veggie samosas which are really tasty as well. I definitely recommend coming here for fresh, tasty Indian food that doesn't take too long to prepare. Be aware though, they're medium spicy has a bit more kick than most other places. But overall the setting, quality of food, friendly service, and ease of parking make this one of my go to places 😎

Everything on the table was bursting with flavor. The curry was rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced—comforting without being overwhelming. The lentils were hearty and smooth, with just the right amount of heat, and paired beautifully with the fluffy basmati rice. The fresh sides of jalapeños, onions, cilantro, and lemon added a bright, refreshing contrast that really elevated each bite. Definitely a spot I’d come back to again—highly recommended if you’re craving flavorful, satisfying Indian food! 🍛✨

This place has a modern, light and airy feel to it. It's counter service with booths, tables, and bar height seating to choose from. There's a kids' menu and lots of options to pick different spice levels. The menu is clearly labeled for people with food restrictions. Helpful, friendly staff.

Very concerning business practices (i.e. no refunds) and poor customer service. We are (were) long time Tarka patrons (both locations), however the first time we ever needed to call and address an issue with our food, we were met with extremely poor customer service and concerning business practices. For our recent take out order (approx $85), several dishes were spicy when they were ordered as mild / not spicy. I called the restaurant to see how the manager would address the issue, and was met with no solutions. What followed was an inquisition into what food I had ordered, who the food was for, excuses for flavor/spice level information that is not on the website (but should be), and requests that I box up my food and bring it back to the restaurant so that it could be taste tested. When I indicated that I would simply like a refund, it then turned into a negotiation - going line by line down the ticket. When it was finally agreed upon which specific items would be refunded (3 dishes) I was put on hold for over 10 minutes, disconnected, called back, put on hold again, to then be told that they had spoken with the owner and that only one (1) dish would be refunded. I asked for the owner’s phone number and was refused. I then indicated that I would be driving back to the restaurant to address the issue - which I did. At the restaurant I was told by staff that they are told by the owner not to issue refunds (this is not posted anywhere at the establishment). It took another 10 minutes to have the three (3) items refunded. Will not be patronizing this business in the future. As a side note: food quality and flavor has declined significantly over the years.

I really enjoyed my experience here. I had the chickpea curry. It was spicy, hot to the touch, and flavorful. And the bowl was plenty. Couldn't eat it all. Great customer service. There was no wait. It was slow at the time of my visit. I would eat there again.
