We have gone to this restaurant many times - we liked it enough to recommend it to several other…read morepeople. However, today we got scammed there and were charged completely made up prices. We ordered the Chicken 65 APPETIZER, not the full meal. On the menu, the chicken 65 appetizer says $9.00, and the full meal says $14. When we finished eating and asked for the check the receipt listed the full meal price. We politely mentioned that we got charged for the entree instead of the appetizer - instead of correcting it, she told us the menu price was wrong and the appetizer is $14 now. We didn't believe the appetizer almost doubled in price from the menu, coincidentally to the exact same price as the entrees, so we asked what the "new" price of the entree is and they said $19 (more expensive than anything else on the entire menu). Nowhere on the Doordash app, Google menu, or PHYSICAL menu does it say the appetizer is $14.00 or that the full order is $19.00. If they just made a mistake on the check, it wouldn't have been a big deal at all - we weren't bothered and thought it would be a simple correction. But lying to us about fake prices instead of just offering to fix it was really disappointing. There was no one else to raise the issue with because our server was the only employee present. I would love to know how to contact a manager.

Was searching for a late night dinner that was not overpriced and I was excited to try this new…read morefood truck near CWE. The good part about this food truck is that the menu items are pretty cheap compared to other food trucks and restaurants in the city. I tried the paratha w/ chicken curry and ordered it to go. The wait was a bit long, but I wasn't too bothered by that since it was a busy night. However, when I got home to enjoy my meal it wasn't what I was expecting. The chicken curry was mostly liquid and very little chicken. But the worst part about having little chicken was that the chicken pieces was mostly bone, and I only got a little bit of chicken from the bone. After tasting the curry there were so many bone fragments in there that I had to constantly spit them out while eating. I finally tried the paratha, I was feeling hopeful with the paratha because I really like paratha from other Indian restaurants I've been to. After trying the paratha, it was so hard to chew and I had to soak them on the curry just so they would have some softness. I knocked off 3 stars because of these issues, and gave 2 stars for the location, cheap prices, and ample items to choose from. This food truck has potential to be better, but I had a terrible first experience.

What I witnessed, was my cell number was typed into what appeared to be a personal cell, as opposed to a wait system, and then we never got called/ texted. We were watching the people in front of us get tables, then we asked if our name got lost, and immediately got sat. After that, 0 comments, food came out at a reasonable time. My eyes kept being drawn to these dumplings, usually I'm a low carb kind of person, so I was leaning towards the kebabs. But these dumplings kept calling my name. The sauce was so good. Creamy with a hint of dill, refreshing, with the savory ground beef inside. I definitely finished my plate and left the rice for leftovers. I can't wait to take my boyfriend back and get the dumplings again! My friend also really enjoyed her shrimp curry, I got to try a taste, the sauce was also delightful.

Our little supper club came in for dinner on Saturday. They do not take reservations but the wait…read morewas worth it. Our party got there a little before 6. We waited around 20-30 minutes to get a table to accommodate the 7 people in our party. We stood around by the entrance while we waited. When we were finally seated, they put us on the second dining room which has a better ambiance and much more quieter than the main dining room. Someone brought us a pitcher of water which fell slightly short of giving all 7 of us full glasses. Some of us ordered their lemonade mix. I had the one with pomegranate which tasted fresh and made in house. We shared 3 different appetizers: babaganoush, hummus and saksuka. They brought us a basket of naan. They were huge and still warm. The only thing I would have asked for would have been that the naans be cut into smaller pieces so people are not touching naans that others will have to eat. Our appetizers were all excellent. The babaganoush, specifically has fantastic flavors. This might have been the best babaganoush I have ever tasted! For my entree, I ordered the lamb kabob served with some dressed rice and salad. Okay, usually I don't care for rice. It's bland and pretty boring but they actually seasoned their rice here so well that I've completely forgotten I was eating rice. The kabob was so flavorful like it has been marinating for a while. The meat was tender and juicy. We didn't do any dessert as we were all very full in the end. At least 4 out of 7 brought home leftovers. My one friend had made a comment about his pilau being larger than his head! Service was good. You pay up front. If you come in with a large party and ask to split the check, they charge $1 per card. We asked to have our bill split 7 ways and then 2, 2, 2 and 1. She said she understood but then did the math wrong anyway. We didn't bother and just paid the even quarter split and my friends refunded me the difference. Other than a few nuisances, it was a great dining experience. No joke, this place has some seriously good eats. And to be honest, I can't wait to come back!

The value for money is near unbeatable at 7.99 for 2 curry type options with roti, rice and a small papadam. I chose paneer masala and chole. The paneer masala was a good balance between simple home cooked and elaborate, with small fried paneer chunks, bell peppers and onions in a creamy but spicy tomato gravy. The chole was very tasty and nutritious too. The portion size was right on for feeling full but not stuffed for a lunch. Even as a vegetarian meal, the choice of chole and paneer provided a solid amount of protein. With the plethora of options for Indian food in the west county area, Tatva by focusing on simple vegetarian lunch combo or thali style offerings has created its own niche. It beats other nearby fast food options hands down on nutrition, flavor and value for money for a nearby office goer or remote worker.

Easily one of the best lamb dishes I've had in the area. The Chicken Tikka Masala was another hit: creamy, balanced, and perfect for scooping up with their naan. Speaking of which -- don't skip the butter naan and garlic naan. Both came out warm, soft, and perfectly blistered. Great texture, great flavor. We also tried the onion samosas, which were crispy and packed with flavor without being greasy -- a great start to the meal. To finish things off, we had the kulfi, and it was absolutely delicious. My daughter ate it before I could get a picture, but I think that says enough. Service was friendly, the space felt clean and welcoming, and everything tasted freshly made.

Overall, it was a solid dining experience, and we'll definitely be back.

I personally didn't like the mutton curry but my husband loved it. Overall experience was good. We definitely come back.
