I can't recommend Desi Tadka enough! Everything we've tried has been delicious and they have become our go to for healthy and delicious meals in our neighborhood.
A special mention to their breakfast bread combos - they give me the get up and go I need and I literally dream about the next time I'll have one. Also the Chef's Special Madras Chicken Curry is to die for.
Thank you Desi Tadka!

I just wanted a quick bite but couldn't resist the $10 take out "Dal of the day with rice special". They offer a couple of choices of dal. Also many vegetarian options. Very friendly and helpful server.
They were very generous with the basmati rice, the lentil dal was excellent and much creamier than I'm used to. A great deal for lunch.
A nice very clean restaurant offering table service as well.

First time visiting Desi Tadka with friends. We ordered a variety of items! Special mentions to the Honey Chili Fries (crispy and flavourful) and the Amritsari Aloo Kulche (more of a breakfast item but the flatbread was delicious with the chutney and channe). Wonderful customer service with menu recommendations. We also ordered mango lassis and sweet lassis with our meal. We were very full afterwards and had to take some food to go! Definitely recommend Desi Tadka!
