I have been going to Tadka for a number of years. I have ordered so many different items from the menu, and have always been completely delighted with the presentation and the flavors , the portion sizes and the prices! The staff are very kind , professional and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. I began going when my kids were young and as they have grown and went away to college ect when they come home , we always must go to Tadka. read more

We've been to both the Payson and Nephi locations and enjoyed the food at both. If you're in the mood for some Indian food and you're in the area I recommend giving them a try. read more

I'm writing this review as we wait for dinner. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful. Everything is spotless. Our waitress, Mackenzie, was immediately ready with water and menus. When her shift ended, Addie took over. She was attentive and answered all our questions. I had the Lamb Nawabi which was cooked with cashews,cream,fenugreek leaves, a touch of yogurt and herbs. The sauce was delicious and the lamb was tender. My husband had the Tadka Chef's Special listed for kabob lovers with tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, lamb boti kabob and shrimp tandoori. The meat was flavorful. My husband probably would have cooked the lamb less but overall delicious! Of course all meals need Naan bread and we had the garlic flavored one which was the perfect accompaniment to our meal. I read over the previous reviews and wanted to verify that they do indeed charge a credit card fee. To us, this seems logical since they are charged a fee, much like a gas station charges more for credit. They also do charge for another bowl of rice but the rice portion was more than adequate for our dishes. This is definitely a restaurant worthy of repeat visits! read more

The food is top notch, but the service and policies are terrible. Here are a few of the key issues: they add a credit card surcharge without asking/informing you, they charge for more rice (unlike their nearby competitors), and they will charge you for an additional soda if you change the type of soda while eating. For example, if you order a Cola then ask for a refill of a root beer, they count that as a new drink, even though they are both sodas with free refills. Last, the spice levels are inconsistent. Medium one day is comparable to mild on another. Overall, I continue to get food from here because it is tasty, I just wish they could make some adjustments to be more customer focused. The ambiance is nice and authentic feeling. There is fairly loud music playing and the walls/decor are on theme. read more

Food is incredible. Would highly recommend. Best Indian restaurant in Utah county, and the price is fair

Driving through Utah from Yellowstone and Bryce Canyon. As a spoiled vegan who lives in California with amazing vegan options. Grateful we found this spot. I ordered the Aloo Gobi Hot. And it was perfectly spiced not to hot and not mild. Amazing spot for vegan/vegetarian friendly food from a truly local spot. Friendly staff! read more

Food truck. So much rice and not enough chicken. The flavor is there and spice. They just fill your plate with rice, sauce, and a little chicken. read more

This place is awesome and so close to where I live. I am so lucky!!!! Best Indian food in Utah county.

It's been a while since we've been here we stop by on the stormy day to pick up some food on our way home and found one order of chicken coconut korma and garlic naan came to $23. The prices have undergone a steep increase since the last time we were here. That being said the flavors for delicious and the amount of food was reasonable. read more

The sign said it was open, the yelp page said this restaurant was open. So we walked in to eat. The server asked if we could take the order to go. Yet they were supposed o be open for more than a half hour. If your door is open and you your open sign is on, then serve your customers read more

Didn't feel like driving to Bombay House, so we figured we would just see if we could find something that would pass to kill the craving. Well, I am thrilled to say that I found a new favorite spot for amazing Indian food. We tried the Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken, and both were amazing - and yes, better than Bombay House. The Naan was on point. The cucumber salad wasn't bad, but I do prefer it more in a vinegar based dressing. Sandeep was very friendly and fun to talk to, and he made our experience even better. I wish I took pictures before we devoured our food, but trust me, it's fireeeee!!! read more

We love this restaurant! The first time we went I was nervous because we were the only customers, but it's so good! I feel like we've found a hidden gem because the service and food are both excellent and you don't have to wait to be seated like other competition. read more

I have never eaten inside, but my husband and I get take out every so often. It's always delicious, and the service is awesome! I'd love to eat inside sometime because it's adorable. read more

I absolutely love this place and will travel 45-minutes to go there. Their food is AMAZING, their staff is attentive, and the owners are hands on and do kind. If you look at this place it may not be impressive but if you love Indian food and you drive by... you may have just made your worst mistake. Stop in and try Chicken Coconut Kurma, Vegetable Coconut Kurma, Tadka Assorted Snacks, Land (or chicken) Saag...seriously anything! You will not regret!!! read more

We've been wanting to try Tadka Indian for a while, and we finally got our chance to check them out. We got the "assorted snacks" appetizer (samosa, onion bhaji, veggie pakora, and chicken pakora) - definitely recommend! We also tried the lamb Tikka Masala and the shrimp coconut- both amazing! We will definitely be going back soon! read more

Wow! Decent Indian food in Payson Utah?! I'm from Atlanta Georgia where we have a huge Indian community and hundreds of amazing Indian restaurants and although this wasn't the best I've ever had, it was decent... especially considering I was in the middle of nowhere (sorry no offense intended Paysonites). We ordered 3 different dishes (Chicken Masala, Chicken Kadai methi and malai kofta). Everything was pretty decent. I let our server know that I eat a lot of Indian food at home and asked for a unique recommendation and she recommended the most common stuff on the planet. So that was a little bit of a let down, but what I guessed at and ordered on my own turned out great: chicken kadai methi. It was decently spicy, and had great strong pleasantly sour flavor. Nice place, pretty busy with a lot of regulars and staff was responsive and helpful. I would come here again for sure! read more

Love this restaurant! Food is always great! Take out is alway good too. They have the best samosas and butter chicken read more

Excellent food! Thrilled such a quality establishment is located in Payson. It is my go-to restaurant of choice when I'm in the area. Veg. Samosas and Butter Chicken are wonderful. Look forward to trying more items next time I visit. read more

The food here is always fresh, hot and delicious. The service is outstanding and the menu is wide and varied. Even if you have never tried Indian food before there will definitely be something for you to enjoy and have you wanting to come back and try more. Since they have redecorated inside it really is a very entertaining and engaging experience. read more

We stopped in Payson overnight on our drive home to LA. What a surprise to find an Indian restaurant in this small town south of SLC. A further surprise to find it was really, really, really good. We've had Indian food around the world and this ranks high. I got the Chef's Special mixed tandoori. Perfectly cooked and spiced. My wife got bayghan bharta, asked for very spicy, and got great taste and heat. Well done Tadka! read more

Surprised to find a good Indian restaurant in Payson of all places. LOL My oldest brother had a religious gathering and we all came here afterwards to eat. There were probably 40 of us total going for the buffet. The selection was nice, everything was prepared nicely and loaded with flavor and nothing overly spicy which is a good thing for me. Service was rocking it and they kept up on removing plates and filling drinks one after the other. For sure will come back and want to try ordering off of the menu next time. read more

The food was absolutely delicious and the people working there were so friendly and kind! Highly recommend!

My husband first tried their food when his work had them cater for them. He had been wanting to go to their restaurant the next time we were in Payson so we planned a trip down there for a triple date. We went for their Lunch Buffet and the food was delicious. Their basmati rice wasn't my most favorite, but it wasn't the worst I've gotten. Their buffet had Saag and Butter Chicken and those are some of my favorites. The weirdest part was their service. We walked in, it was a group of 6 of us. The woman asked if we were all doing the lunch buffet and then pointed to a booth and said we could sit there and there was a coat rack at the door that we could hang our coats at. We hung our coats and then figured we would start with the buffet. We grabbed our food and eventually got some waters brought to us. We never received menus so we had no idea how much we were paying for our food. It was just kind of awkward. We never got a check so we all got up and went to the counter and we told them what we got and then paid there. Again, it was just weird. We will go again if we are down there, but I'll just know to expect awkward service next time. read more

We love Tadka! Everything we've tried here has been great. I'm really sensitive to spicy foods so I really appreciate the ability to customize how much spice each meal has. read more

This place was amazing ! We ordered chicken Tika masala, shrimp Marsala, lamb masala, goat masala, coconut soup, the variety naan basket, onion Bhaji, and the desert gulab jamun.

The food was wonderful but the naan bread could've been a little thicker and more flavorful

I come in here often and this is a wonderful restaurant...however yesterday we had a horrible experience...our server was by far the most unpleasant person I've come across in a long time...she slammed drinks down and rolled her eyes when we inconvenienced her by asking for sweetener. To top it off...my favorite dish was overdone...so it was a very bad experience...if I didn't love the food...this would be a one star review. I will be back...unless that server is there. read more

Service was great, they even waited a few minutes after closing for us to pickup our takeout. The food was great, with the perfect amount of flavor. read more

Before you read my review, you should know this about me: 1. I'm a southern Californian born in Taiwan. 2. I've lived in north Orange County all my life minus the four years I spent in UT for college. 3. I love to eat, and refuse to eat anything I don't think taste good. REFUSE. 4. I don't mind spending money to eat well. 5. My parents owned two sandwich shops while I was growing up. I worked there as a kid, through college and beyond, so I'm a big fan of mom and pop shops. So let's start with location: you're in Payson area, UT. You are NOT going to find Indian food. But WAIT!!! Here is Tadka. Color me happy and surprised. Came here with my sister-in-law and my 14 YO daughter for the all you can eat lunch special/ buffet. What's to like: 1. Traditional dishes: it has all the basics of what you think is going to be here: naan and all the curries that you're used to. My recommendation is all the "soups": eat them as a curry. It's fine and thick enough. 2. Price: won't break your bank at $11/$12 a person (I can't remember how much it was). If you're a big eater, this is a great place to come. What you'll miss: 3. Meat: there is more meat than just chicken, kids. But not at this restaurant. Sheesh. I miss my lamb! Why I'll come back: I have family in the area we visit probably every year. There isn't much of a selection here, so this is a great option from all the bland food around. The owner of the restaurant was more than enthusiastic to talk to me about Little India, which I happen to frequent often. Adorable how his eyes light up when we talked about Artesia. read more
