My friend has been raving about this place so I decided to try this place out for lunch today. I normally would get a tikka masala but I ended up ordering the chicken coconut curry and I loved it; no regrets. I thought the portions and the price were good. The place a lot seating and the environment was clean. I would definitely come back here!

My first time and we were wowed! Food was full of authentic Indian flavors! One tiny hiccup and 4 staff came to our table asking if everything was ok. And we received a free entree to take home. Customer service, above and beyond !!

This might not be the best indian food in town, but for the price, it's hard to beat. The restaurant is clean and the food is fresh. I appreciate that you can order at the counter, and the wait is not long. I ordered hot spice, and it is spicy, but not overbearing compared to other restaurants' spicy.

I just got the Beyond keema. If you are plant based this is delicious. It comes in a biryani pizza and curry. I got the curry too but haven't tried it yet.

This is a walk up and order place but it is worth it. Fast food Indian that is pretty delish. Service is great and the ambiance is good. The food is super duper spicy, so if you are a butter chicken kind of person... go mild with any sauces.

The chicken biryani is delicious!!!! The garlic naan is ok, I like it a little crispier. The Mirchi Mirch was a little too spicy for me. Service is fast and friendly. The food came out really fast and steaming hot. Good place to grab a quick healthy tasting Indian dinner.

This is a modern casual Indian food kitchen that serves up some great food. We ordered the chicken tikka masala and it was creamy, rich, and loaded with spices. The masala was amazing, beyond my expectations. The medium spice level was quite mild, and so most eaters can probably go for the hot. The garlic naan was also spot on. Very light and fluffy. Could have used a bit more garlic. What a great place to get some quality food at an affordable price (and not have to wait so long). You'll want to add this restaurant to your list in the Heights.

Love Tarka!!!! Super fast food, Indian style. Pakoras are my favorite. Tarka Daal is really good with the basmati rice. Beyond Keema is a best seller for all my plant based lovers. Mango Lassi is also delish & yes they have a vegan kind. Garlic naan is always super warm & the pav is like a vegan roll super yummy! Reasonably priced & great portions. Staff are always really helpful and knowledgeable about what to order. Lots of seating options cafe style.

Delicious. Ordered a pick up during the week to cover lunch + dinner plus next day lunch and it was a fairly quick and easy.. Staff was nice. Ordered garlic naan, vegetable samosas, chicken tikki masala, chicken biryani and mango lassi. Garlic naan - good portion, for me personally not garlicky enough Vegetable samosas- good and crispy, 2 large samosas filled with potatoes and peas. The seasoning was on point. The dipping sauce paired well. (You can also eat alone bc it is seasoned so well) Chicken tikki masala - came with a small white rice, the masala was delicious. (I also used it as a dipping sauce for the naan), there was a good portion of chicken and it went well with the rice. Chicken biryani - just enough of spice to make me happy, tender chunks of chicken mixed with deliciously made rice. I love biryani and their version was pretty good Mango lassi - in heaven, never had one and this was a great first time! I tried not to drink so much of it in the car ride home but it was soooooo delicious Def in my list of quick food spots by the house. The price was reasonable. Total with everything was $37.78. It adds a different option other than my normal Chinese or Vietnamese choices or the fast food options. Def will order in the future.
