Efficient place. Food is not authentic, passable if you are in a hurry and desperately craving Indian cuisine. Prices are reasonable. Nanninis with masala fries are the best-tasting. Rest of it could use spicing up/flavor. read more

I got the Tikka Masala with paneer cheese, garlic naan and the mango Lassi. Curry was creamy and flavorful, tasted like how you would imagine tomato bisque being a curry. It came with a side of rice but I enjoyed dipping the garlic naan in there too. The mango Lassi was like a refreshing smoothie read more

Flavorful sauces and dishes. 1 order of naan will feed 2-3 people. Runs on the mild side so make sure you get it extra hot.

Awesome bang for your buck at this place! Both quality and quantity are served here. I got the veggie samosas and the Tarka Dahl (both vegan). The chutney sauce (vegan option) that comes with the samosas is amazing. Wish they had reusable containers for the sauces, but other than that, great place with an authentic feeling. Will be back. read more

Was craving for some indian food. Ordered via uber eats and the biryani portion size was that of a kids meal. For the price I paid I would get more food from wholefoods. The biryani was a tawa biryani ,too greasy. read more

Tarka Indian Kitchen - Lamb biryani - Indian Near Me - Spring, Texas

I can't say how much I love their garlic naan. Honestly the best naan I've had. I wouldn't call their food the most authentic Indian but it's good enough that my Indian Coworkers and American coworkers all love it enough to always agree to go here. I get the hot chicken Tikka masala and it's great. The mango lemonade is delicious. You can actually taste the mango pulp. They give discounts if you work at the big companies nearby read more

I'm an Indian food lover. Can't find a dish I don't like. ive been wanting to try this place out since it opened. I finally got a chance to make it here and i couldn't decide what to try. The place is unique unlike any other Indian restaurant I've been to. You decide the sauce and meat with what type of rice. The naan was okay. I can't really give this place a good or bad review because it's was just okay. Nothing special. Nothing truly authentic. I'll update this when I try it again. read more

My missus and myself decided to give this place a go last night. We found this place after finding out a place that we had been looking to try had moved (or closed). It is a totally Americanized version of what Indian food should be, not traditional at all. A good intro, if someone hasn't tried it before. Personally, I enjoy a more authentic experience, and more authentic food. A very bright and modern setting, but a very "pei-wei" setup, with a similar ordering experience. The food itself lacks depth, if you scrape away the sauce, it's plain old meat/veggies. You get enough to take home, and it tasted better the next day. When I took the first scoop from the bowl, the colour and texture changed, like you see at the top of something that has been reheated. Give it a shot, especially if it's your first foray into the wonderful world that is Indian cuisine. But, if you're looking for something more authentic, then look elsewhere. read more

This is a chain restaurant, and the food itself wasn't bad, but definitely did not taste like authentic Indian food. Chicken Tikka tasted salty, and may have been cooked with a lot of butter. If you want real Indian food I would skip this spot and opt for a Mom and Pop owned business instead. read more

This is good Indian food. I had a to-go order tonight. My order was Masala and also kabob the Masala was so flavorful I ate so much I could not eat another bite and as soon as I could I had seconds. This is such a good flavor and the Masala spices is amazing here. The kabobs have a special flavor also. Everything was served wonderfully hot fresh and tasty I will come here again and I very much enjoyed the to go dinner. read more

My family and I have been here multiple times in the past couple months because it's literally the best Indian we have found (It's very similar to the Indian we would enjoy at home in the UK). Everything comes out hot, the food always tastes amazing and it comes out quick! Staff are super friendly and the mango drink is delicious with the curries. Highly recommend! read more

Awesome! Clean and modern meets traditional Indian. First time here and will definitely be back. The cashier was friendly and sociable. The food was incredible. Naan was delicious. Rice was a solid B+. Great atmosphere. read more

See all

If I were to compare this to anything it would be similar to eating a can of ravioli when you want real Italian. It is very sugary and bland. When you order mild it should be said you are ordering zero spice. The size of the dish is adequate and the atmosphere is good but this is a very Americanized version of Indian food. Wanted to love it but not interested in going back. read more

My new go to for Indian food. Great prices and delicious food. I had the lamb Biryanis, which I highly recommend if you're new to Indian cuisine. 5 stars for this place I will be back read more

Have visited Tarka a few times and will say it is by far one of the best Indian restaurant. They ask you for the level of spicy you are comfortable with. Chicken curry is my favorite. Definitely keeping Tarka on my list. read more

This place is always good, but my food was ice cold and had to reheat the entire meal. Assuming it's cause of the COVID19 all current takeouts are not really up to standards as expected as they would be in dine in experience. read more

Chicken Tikka was great! This was a good find and will be making it a regular spot. The garlic naan is made fresh and they wrap it up well for Togo so it stays fresh. Spice level was very reasonable as the hot is spicy but they do have an off menu extra hot too. Definitely recommend! read more

This place is amazing! We went with our kids and thw service was fast, the food was fantastic, and we already can't wait to go back! Well priced and family friendly! Delicious. read more

Tarka Indian Kitchen - Vegan Channa Masala soooo good! I downed half of it before I thought to take a picture! - Indian Near Me - Spring, Texas

Great modern place. Quick service, really good food. Loved the coconut curry. Went an hour before closing. Relaxing atmosphere.

My husband and I were craving Indian food last night, and decided to try Tarka out. Upon entering, it totally has a Pei Wei vibe. That modern, quick dinner type place... pick a starter, pick a sauce, pick a protein, add some paneer or veggies. I got Chicken Tikka Masala (added paneer and veggies) and the hubs got Lamb Saag, we added an order of Samosa Chaat, Vegetable Pakora, and regular naan. The Samosa Chaat was soggy from the sauce under the cut up pieces and the Pico De Gallo-esque topping, and had some Indian flavors but, just lacked the depth of spices you kinda expect. The Pakora was pretty dry, even dipped in the chutney (my Scottish hubs loooves Pakora and just didn't care for this at all). The naan tasted more like a thick flour tortilla. Our main dishes were ok, but we both agreed they lacked that depth, spice and heat (though actual temperature-wise mine was piping hot, which was nice). They were a good size to eat and still have some leftovers to take home. As others have said, it's totally Americanized, probably great for someone who hasn't had Indian food before and needs a soft, casual intro, lol. I'm not sure that it's what we were looking for or that we'd go again when we're really craving Indian food, but it did give us some of those Indian food flavors and filled our tummies for the night. read more

Dependable food--fast & good prices. Clean & good staff. Loved everything we got. Definitely will return! Good reviews from other friends, too. Nice way to try Indian food if you've never eaten it before. Good spot!! read more

I dont normally give reviews but this was not good. I love indian food but this was not a good representation. I ordered garlic naan and the bread was soaked in garlic. The naan was still soft the garlic was not cooked at all. It was dollops of raw garlic all over the bread. I could not eat it. My coconut curry was lumpy not smooth. I throw the whole meal in the trash! Very disappointed. read more

The samosas were tasty, mango lassi was slightly sweet, chicken tikka was watery with only 6 small pieces of shredded chicken and had lackluster flavor, but the naan was absolutely awful: chewy. I will not be back. read more

I love Indian cuisine and had high hopes for Tarka Indian Kitchen. I'm sorry to report that my hopes were not met. Not even close. Tarka Indian Kitchen struck me as little more than an Indian fast food joint. The meal was thoroughly uninspiring. Since I didn't tour the kitchen, I can't be sure but I suspect that no one in the kitchen was Indian. In fact, I am willing to bet there was no one back there in the kitchen who had ever been to India or who could even find India on a map. My main dish, the rice and the nan were all very forgettable. What a disappointment! read more

I come in here about once a week or so. Usually pretty good service. Had a minor issue couple weeks ago with service but has been good since then. Food is good and prices seem decent read more

I'm African American and was recommended to try this... man of man...tha bomb diggidy! Tikka Masala and Biryanis is my goto!

We tried this place after months of seeing the sign for it on 45. We really liked the samosas and the curry entrees we got. I've had better biryanis. Mango tea is good, lassi are better. The food took a very long time to come out and they apologized, but no offer of anything to fix it like a on-the-house drink or something. Just seemed a little overwhelmed and it wasn't really busy. Maybe an off day. That being said, the people were very friendly and the food was solid. We're going to be back and hopefully we will be more impressed with the speed of service. read more

Consistently friendly, fast service. And of course the food is always on point! Vegetable Samosas and Chicken Tikka Masala are my go-to orders read more

I haven't been to Tarka since B.C (before Covid) and I've always enjoyed their food and service. So I come back for the same thing I've always gotten, chicken tikka with garlic naan. I come inside to place my to go order and I'm told it's a 15 minute wait. Not a big deal, so I sit and wait. While I'm here in the dining room I observe all the employees wearing masks properly and telling the guests that they will be changing their gloves in between guests. The dining room is spotless, the employees are friendly and the guests respect the mask protocols. They are one of the few restaurants that I've seen tackle the pandemic with this level of care! Thank you Tarka for making your guests feel safe! read more

Yum! This was great for quick Indian food. I had the hot and it had a nice kick to it!

When you first pull up, the smell gets you. Not to mention that this is a gluten free diner's paradise!!! They aren't modifying their normal menu to be gluten free; much of their food is just gluten free, even a new cheesecake. I am only happy that it isn't closer to my house, or I'd be eating there daily! But the food is so good that I do make a pretty long drive on occasion just to eat there. It is definitely my favorite restaurant! read more

I love Tarka Indian and am always very happy with the service and the food! The only Indian food I actually find myself craving! Good stuff for a Gringa like me!" read more

Right when you walk through the doors, the smell just wins you over. I ordered the veggie curry with a side of naan. Freaking delicious! I also got the samosa chaat. Also very good. The two dishes are delectable but together was a bit too much for me. There was also the lassi which I got the strawberry ones. I normally would have mango lassi so I decided to give this a try. I would just stick with the mango lassi. Amazing vegetarian options. Definitely go here if you want some scrumptious Indian food. read more

Very clean restaurant with friendly staff. Everything is fresh and comes out hot and packed with flavor! I loved the coconut curry and shrimp as well as the mango lassi. The naan was awesome too! I recommend this place to anyone interested in trying good Indian food. This place was super good I am glad there's a great Indian place near me so I no longer have to drive to downtown Houston to eat some!!! read more

Tarka Indian Kitchen - Indian Near Me - Spring, Texas

The coconut curry with lamb was very nice and flavorful, the lamb tender and the dish burning hot when it came to me... Fresh from the pan. The portion size was fine for a hungry man if you get the naan. Unfortunately the naan was dry and didn't taste fresh. The rice was also a bit dry and tasteless. Id come back for sure because only because the main dish was very nice. read more

I never really ate Indian food very much, but after someone brought Tarka to the office a few weeks ago I got hooked. Now my wife and I pick up at least once a week and sometimes twice. Last night we got my wife's favorite very tangy Vindaloo curry and I finally tried a tikki masala with chicken, extra veggies and my new favorite food: paneer. That's some kind of very firm white cheese, and I put it in everything. The service was great and their app tracks your car as you drive there, so they start your meal at the right time and deliver curbside when they see you arrive. Very cool. read more

We have gotten take-out here numerous times and it's always been super easy and quick. We order online and we pick up 15 mins later. We have never had an issue. The garlic naan is good and I always love the vindaloo! I order it hot...it's not like a super authentic Indian place so you can get away with ordering things Spicer here. The prices are reasonable as well, which I like. A great fast casual option read more

Food is great and the Tarka team is so generous! I recently participated in a Fundraiser for leukemia and they donated the food for my table.Thank you Tarka! read more

Love this place - flavorful food and great service, reasonably priced, and outdoor seating.

I'm not the type to write a bad review but this restaurant customer service is so poor. Walked in, no one in line. Didn't even get greeted by the young gentleman, he just looked at me. No welcome, no smile nothing. Talked really soft and had an attitude. Placed my to go order and didn't receive it until 35 mins later. 4 people ahead of me got there food and people who came and order to go. Disappointed with the customer service here. read more
