The space is on the smaller side, so it can be crowded at peak hours. Went with a party of 3 for early dinner and shared: -Chicken tikka masala -Lamb rogan josh -Chicken tikka -2 garlic naan The curry sauces were on point. The tikka masala was a touch tomato forward but still delicious. The lamb was also very good. Naan is made fresh and served piping hot. Minor quibble - the chicken in the dish was regular chicken and not chicken tikka. Not a big deal because the sauce is the boss, but some people may care. The chicken tikka was ok as it was slightly on the bland side. Service was quick. Just note that when you're ready to pay, you go up to the register.

We've been eyeing the restaurant for a few weeks as we really enjoy Indian food. We were served immediately after being seated. Their menu was very organized and not confusing at all. We experienced great service from the time we arrived to the time we left the restaurant. I drink a lot of water and was pleased to see my water being refilled without asking. We did not feel overwhelmed by the selection of food that they had in their menu. We ordered: Pani puri as our appetizer. Butter chicken and lamb biryani as our entrees with garlic naan on the side. Mango lassi for our drinks. The food arrived in a very timely manner and the food was presented very well. The sever had asked us how spicy we wanted our food. We asked for medium spice level, and we were not disappointed with the taste and spice! The portions were perfect for the two of us! Our only critique about the food is that the lamb in the biryani was dry. Extra: Tadka Indian Cuisine is location in the Mccully shopping center. Parking was very limited even on a Monday evening. However, I believe you can park in the neighborhood nearby. The bathroom was clean and organized. Overall, my wife and I would definitely dine here again. We definitely want to invite some friends the next time we go! This is an automatic 5 stars in our book!

May the odds forever be in your favor! both in finding parking and hoping your parked car won't get hit. We've eaten in for the first few times and service and food are flawless.

This time we ordered take out We got tadka wings, pani puri, lamb goan curry, lamb kebabs, lamb vindaloo(extra spicy!) , aloo naanand garlic/onion naan It was our first try of the pani puri, an Indian street food. It was sooo delicious I'm craving more of it now Goan curry is a staple for me since I love coconut. My son enjoyed his spicy vindaloo but he slowed down halfway through because the spice doesn't go away but he thoroughly enjoys that! the curries came with rice and I ordered extra raita for the curries too. We were so full after all of it. So if you haven't checked them out, go check um go. On another note, edible is now only open on the weekends I wanted their delicious cookies Guess there's always a next time at tadka

As one who has spent weeks crisscrossing India, I was incredibly saddened by the lack of authentic Indian on Oahu. That is until this place opened. Today I ordered the turkey and mixed meat plate, but I've tried the oxtails several times (a major fan) as well as other dishes. If you do not like intense, authentic Indian flavors then this place won't be for you. Otherwise, come and enjoy the great cooking found here. Love that they have parking and seating inside too, though we've always taken out.

It's located behind Walmart, so it's a great option for takeout in a busy area. They have free parking right inside the gate. The restaurant doesn't feel fully comfortable for dining in, it's really more of a takeout spot. They do have a few tables for singles or small groups. Inside the door is the counter, with various dishes either kept hot or cold. Most of the foods are meant to be ordered as a combo tray with rice, sides, and bread. We decided to try it and order a bunch of things to share, which was a fun way to see their items. They have a whole cold bar of various fresh toppings and sauces as well. Everything is homemade on site, including all sauces. Breads like naan and roti are made to order, so be sure to order ahead if you're in a rush. They have more sauces, homemade lassi, and other drinks for purchase too. I had a mango one, it was light and delicious. I tried two different veggie curries, plus an order of samosas which came with its own sauce too. The portion sizes may look small at first, but they're very filling and well worth the reasonable prices. The highlight is really the owner, warmly welcoming and friendly, plus patient to talk through all the ingredients and flavors of her foods. It's definitely a great start for a new place, I look forward to visiting again soon.
