Samosas, tikka masala, and chicken kabobs are our standard order, but you can't go wrong with any of their curries, kabobs, or biryanis. Staff are kind and friendly, service is prompt and efficient, and the food is delicious.

It's a very nice place, with good menu and friendly staff and enough of seating for 30+. It's not very noisy, and you can find a seat to feel comfortable either on the chairs or the couches. There are tables for groups. I liked the food and loved the Indian chai and will definitely go there again for the chai and the gulab jaman (desert).

Excellent small chain Indian food. The samosas are good, as is the chicken pakora, and the salads. The desserts are really good as well.

I come here every few weeks. I really enjoy the Korma and the lemonades.

Tarka Indian Kitchen offers bold Indian flavors, but the overall experience had some downsides. The Chicken Tikka Masala was rich, creamy, and well-spiced, with tender chicken that paired nicely with the basmati rice. The Gulab Jaman was a great way to end the meal—soft, warm, and just the right amount of sweetness.
On the downside, the vacant tables weren’t clean and the floors were noticeably dirty, which made the atmosphere less inviting. While the food was solid, the cleanliness took away from the experience.

Indian chain restaurant, but don’t be dissuaded by the fact it is a chain — food is very good. You order at a counter, but the food is brought out to your table, which is nice. I ordered the vegetarian yellow daal with medium spice, garlic naan, and mango lassi. Totaled a bit less than $20. I can’t speak to authenticity overall, but the daal tasted great and was definitely on the spicy side of things. Naan and lassi were also good and complimented the spice well.

I love Tarka! Delicious food, mobile ordering is a snap and tons of options for my diet (vegan/ gluten free).
I eat at this location a few times a month, but yesterday I don't know what happened but I got food poison, been in the bathroom all night and this morning so far. Really disappointed not sure if I'll be back.
