The restaurant is small and comfortable. The decor is beautiful and not overwhelming. The employees were spectacularly kind and attentive. All of the food from appetizer to mango ice cream was delicious. TADKA 96 is a gem in the community. My family will be back! Thank you.

Was craving Indian food so I decided to order uber eats from this restaurant for the first time since I had never seen it on the app before. I decided on the butter chicken. It comes with rice and one piece of naan. I also ordered veg samosas to go with it. The naan was the most delicious naan I've ever had. The butter chicken was good too but the pieces of chicken were a bit big for me. I like smaller pieces. Overall I would say the portion size was smaller than what I've had ordering from other Indian restaurants. Also, the samosas were good too but I did not enjoy them as much as I normally would because when I opened my bag I saw that the tamarind sauce had spilled everywhere inside of the bag and onto the container that the samosas were in. It kinda sucked eating my samosas without the sauce. I can't blame the restaurant 100% because I'm mot sure if it spilled due to the way it was transported by the driver or not but what I will say is that if it was packaged correctly to begin with, it probably wouldn't have spilled. I would still try this restaurant again one day though. I would like to try one of the vegetarian dishes.

Please don't sit on this place - tadka 96. Run as fast as you can and try the most authentic indian food I've had in the area. Super sweet, small family business. There are also a variety of other options if you don't like indian cuisine. Please do yourself a favor and plan a trip there!!

Chicken Tikka Masala, Palak Paneer, Daal Tadka with Rice and Naan

Everything was flavorful and properly spicy! I got my chicken tikka medium spice level (mild, medium, hot) and it was a perfect amount of spicy for me as someone who enjoys their spice at a light to medium spice level. The Saag Paneer was perfectly spicy and creamy as well even though I got that one as a mild spice level. Looking forward to coming back!

Chicken kadai w/ aloo added

How have I not been to TADKA 96 before today?! The food was AMAZING!!! We ordered the tadka fries, chicken kadai, loaded chicken fries, and sides of the garlic naan. I added aloo (potatoes) to the kadai. Every dish was bursting with flavor! The kadai was savory, bold, and spicy. I absolutely will be going back here. Also, they were so kind!!! I asked for recommendations for my next visit and they said to try the biryani (Saturday and Sunday only), butter chicken, and shrimp curry. Highly recommend!!!! Please support this gem of a restaurant!

A friend and I went on a week night to try dishes from their Indian menu. Even though I've lived in the area since the early 90s, I had never set foot in Lilly Seafood until I read that there was Indian food here. We were greeted by a nice young woman who explained the dishes on the Indian menu. At the time, the menu was written on an A-frame menu stand. We ordered samosas, the butter chicken, the tikka masala, a kind of paneer, and naan. The restaurant is quite small but clean, although you can definitely tell it is a fish fry type joint. There is a table with to-go boxes, paper hot dog trays, and plastic silverware (self-serve). You also have to buy bottles of water or soda, which I found most confounding. We were dining in, and we were expecting a dine-in experience. To add to the fish fry type environment, we were given plastic ware to eat our food. I don't think it will hurt them to provide water in cups... The food, though, is pretty great. The samosas are crispy and flavorful. The creamy butter chicken and sweet tikka masala are excellent. We preferred the butter chicken over the tikka. The naan is great. The paneer was probably the weak link here. All in all, we enjoyed the food a lot and will definitely add this to our rotation of eat out places. It's about time this side of town got a decent Indian restaurant. Very happy about that.

Great Indian food. It's been open for a while, but I didn't know they started offering Indian cuisine. Family run business.

3rd times a charm!! Another great meal at this local spot. We had been spent all day exploring…read moredifferent attractions in Houston during our 33 year anniversary. We decided to eat dinner at a local burger spot we only discovered a couple months ago. Pop Top here in Webster, Texas has a friendly staff and they are always clean and ready for business. My wife got her favorite, the Old Fashioned Cheeseburger. I got adventurous and chose the Razz Burger. Wow!!! I have never had a burger with this flavor profile. Razz Burger - Beef patty, topped with razzberry sauce, cream cheese, jalapeno slices, shredded lettuce and mayo. If you want a burger and you're feeling adventurous try them out. So many different options including Buffalo wings, salads, and several different options for sides. Oh! and the desserts are next level.

I finally was able to get here after about a year after hearing about it from my Uber driver…read more I'm so disappointed in myself for not making time to get here sooner. It was absolutely delicious! Service was great, the waitress had a smile on her face the whole time. She was on it, and you could tell she enjoyed her job! It was a smaller place but it was clean and inviting. The food was served hot and fresh. We opted for the Mac-a-tak burger, the Oh-lay burger and split the Best of both (tots and fries) The only thing I think that I could say somewhat "bad" is maybe having a specific fry sauce or even fries tossed in a good seasoning. Don't get me wrong they were delicious but I believe that could take them up even another notch. But it's for me that's for sure and we can't wait to get back there to try more burgers! Do yourself a favor and go to this place, like today!!!! Prices, food, service are all amazing!!!!!

Another great meal. Never get tired of this place. So glad they went national…read more Tonight we got a Cheeseburger no tomato with grilled onions. 3x3 with a whole grilled onion no lettuce. Animal fries well done. Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. Busy as always in the dining room and drive thru.

First time here and was not impressed. Seen it all over TikTok about the protein style burger and…read moreanimal fries. They made it look so good so I had to try it for myself. I ordered a double single protein style burger no tomato, side of animal fries and a 7-up, spread and mustard on the side. The guy who helped me place my order was super nice and helpful. Both the cashier and girl who handed me my food looked like they really didn't want to be there. The food: there in fact was tomato in my burger, no biggie, I pulled out the two big slices. I'm sure some seed or something stayed behind because I could still taste the tomato which I hate tomatoes. The meat not cooked all the way through and did not even receive the spread or mustard. The 7up tasted flat and almost like it was mixed with something sweet, maybe lemonade?! I dont know ! Overall, not the best first time experience. Not sure if I'll be back, it was a 50 minute drive from my home.

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 I'm not really a burger person in general, but went here with friends after an early morning and the experience was overall a positive one. I got a Roosevelt Burger and a Tres Leches milkshake and both were decent. The Roosevelt had a nice soft bun and the patty was thick and juicy (I'd recommend medium on the cook, since medium well was just a little a bit too well), and the onions were nice and crisp throughout the meal. I would say the cherry and fig jam added is a little too sweet for me, but overall the burger itself was great. The shake on the other hand was a little bit disappointing, having too much crunch over a smoother consistency that made it too much to fully finish. Service and ambiance were great and our meals came out quickly, despite there being 7 of us total. Overall, not a bad experience, but I think I'll be getting fries over a shake next time.

You know, you keep hearing rumors about places but you can never believe what others say. Well,…read morethis place might be the exception because the rumors are true! The burger might not look like much from the outside but once you bite into it, the flavors jump out for sure, and they might have served up the best sweet potato fries I've had in a hard minute. Service is solid and I just love their "high chair" booths - reminds me of sitting around in those old diners where you could watch the cooks do their things. Great job guys!
