I ate here recently for the very first time. My dining experience and food was very good. The service was great and my lamb korma very very tasty. I guess if I had to be picky about anything, I would say there could have been a little bit more rice served with The lamb korma. My bowl was about halfway full and the ratio of rice to lamb korma wasn't quite even. Still though a very good meal and I plan to come back in the future. read more

Veggie dishes need MORE veggies. Mine had some green beans and carrots. I would like some onions, peppers, mushrooms, peas, etc. etc.

Food was absolutely delicious! Service was excellent and there was a great, relaxed vibe. So glad we found this place!!

There were numerous options on the menu that my daughter and I wished to sample, so we ordered the entire selection! Every dish was exceptional. The Indian cuisine was the finest I've encountered in the tri-county area. The server provided outstanding service. The ambience was also great. The Lamb Tikka Masala was particularly delectable. My daughter found the Butter Chicken especially good. Indian Tadka has become my new favorite restaurant in Peoria! read more

They have just reopened and the food was much more flavorful and not too spicey. The interior was reinvented and looks quite modern but comfortable. The music and ambiance was enjoyable. The staff were very attentive and the manager checked on us often. The food was delivered quickly! I will definitely be returning read more

Everything was amazing!!! Food was delicious, service was excellent!!! My hubby is native Indian and he absolutely loved the food!! That should tell you something right there , so do yourself a favor and go!! read more

It makes zero sense how central Illinois has a restaurant where I've eaten some of the most authentic Indian/Indo-Chinese cuisine I've ever had in my life, but that's the reality I am faced with. Despite being short staffed, the food still manages to come out in a timely manner and extremely delicious. The goat kourma I ordered was one of the best I've ever eaten with the perfect amount of flavor and heat. The only bummer is the buffet is indefinitely out of commission, an unfortunate casualty of the pandemic, but hopefully, it will be restored in time. If you are in the area and craving authentic Indian/Indo-Chinese food, definitely stop by. read more

Indian Tadka - Goat kourma - Indian Near Me - Peoria, Illinois

Ordered take -out on business a few weeks ago. Very tasty, the second to highest level of spice scorched me I also couldn't stop eating it once I started. Samosas we're wonderful, and the chutneys well balanced. 1 star off for being a bit expensive for the amount of protein received and not including silverware for an order headed to a hotel. read more

I want to give this place 3.5 stars, but obviously half stars aren't an option, so 4 it is. Came in for dinner with a friend and it was both of our first times here (my friends first time eating Indian). This place is the new Haldi, which was located next door. We arrived and the place about 6:15, just after they opened and were seated promptly by the owner. The place is very spacious and there is also a large party room. My friend ordered the Indo-Chinese fried rice and loved it. The amount and quality were excellent and she was very happy. She also got an order of the garlic naan, which was excellent. I ordered the butter chicken, which was nice with a little level of heat. The quality of the chicken was good too along with the quantity. The service was terrible originally, however our second waitress was excellent. Overall, things were okay but the service could be better. read more

Great food and atmosphere. We have tried many others but always come back here when we can.

This is hands down the best Indian restaurant in Peoria right now. It is a consistent favorite for me and my husband. Of course it's moderately high price but that's to be expected with Indian cuisine so if you're familiar with the pricing then I would say maybe it's more on the moderately price side.Very nice decor great atmosphere and delicious food I would recommend visiting if you enjoy Indian cuisine. read more

I'd heard that Indian Tadka had resumed its Sunday Buffet, so I thought I would try it. The spice level was perfect. The restaurant was adequately staffed and attentive to the needs of customers. The buffet offers a limited number of selections, but everything was well prepared. The restaurant was pretty busy at 1 pm, but I was promptly seated. The final price was around $25.00. read more

The food was flavorful, the booths comfy, the waiter friendly, and the music was pleasant. A few oddities like room temperature bottled water instead of refillable ice water in a glass and a can of soda without ice or a glass. But that didn't impact the overall experience. I will definitely be trying the buffet when I am craving Indian food next. read more

Came here with a large group (15) on a Saturday night (highly recommend a reservation). The food was excellent a nice mix of spice levels for all who are either new or experienced with Indian cuisine. This is BYOB - no table charge for bottle service. The next time I'm in Peoria I'll definitely make a stop here again! read more

Best Indian food I have ever had. We ordered 3 curry dishes and each one was better than the last. The butter chicken was incredible. However, the food was quite spicy. We are lovers of spice but the medium lamb vindaloo was a bit too spicy for our taste. Otherwise incredible food. Will be back here often. read more

Came to Peoria,IL for a softball tournament. Was craving Indian. Did a quick google search, found 3 near my hotel in East Peoria. Ended choosing Indian Tadka, based on reviews. It was about 20 minutes away. I'm glad I came here! Turned out to be best Indian restaurant I've been at. My family rated this place above our favorite places in Chicago. The tandoori chicken was delicious, was well seasoned, better than a lot of other places we've been to. The malai kofta was out of this world! Couldn't say enough about this restaurant! read more

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in Peoria. Everything I've tried has been good, and dishes taste the same if I order them on different visits. I usually get takeout, so can't speak to service. Chicken Tikka Masala is always a standout, but I've liked everything I've tried. They're good at lowering the spice level upon request, when possible. read more

Food is decent but the people running the place act like they've never ran a restaurant before! 3 of us at the table and they only bring out 2 dishes. They forgot the 3rd dish! Very disorganized. read more

When we got there, no one seated us or asked us if you wanted anything other than water! There was no sign of how much the Buffett is or was. The food was over spiced and the chicken tikka masala is not suppose to be a spicy dish! Ended up not eating my money worth because the food was not hot either on temperature wise! Now having stomach issues unfortunately! Will never go back!!!!! Review by Sara read more

It was my first time here and I'm not familiar with Indian cuisine. The cute little short haired lady helped me with the menu and was very friendly about dealing with a " newbie". Loved my lunch and will definitely be back! read more

Because of COVID we ordered the food to go. We had malai kofta, methi malai mutter, chicken Rohan josh, veg kadai masala and two appetizers (gobi manchurian and kodi vepudu (dry chicken dish with cashews). Everything was delicious, with just right amount of spices, and exceeded expectations of our guests. Ordering was easy, pick up process was prompt and clean. Will order again.
