Reviews for Tarka in Houston, TX
Vegetable Samosas are delicious. Along with the vegan mint chutney. I get 3 orders of this for a quick bite. Fragrant and... filling. Plus, the lady at the front offered great customer service. Read more
Fast casual Indian FTW! I?ve been here three times now and the food is consistently excellent. Good portions, especially for the... price and the quality of the ingredients are awesome! And it?s not greasy like so many more traditional Indian restaurants. Loveit. Read more
Service is fast, food is delicious and in big portions! It closes late so if you were busy and get there after 8pm you are still... able to get nice and delicious food. The salad with mix of greens is great! It has no protein in it but it worth it. Read more
One needs to review Tarka for what it is and not for what it is not trying to be. This is not a typical Indian restaurant. It is... a fast casual restaurant serving Indian food and we need to review it as such. It is fills a similar space as what Panda Expressfills in Chinese food - with friendly service, clean and smart ambience, quick and convenient food, affordable prices, andserving size for one person. If one is seeking authentic Indian food with pile high portion sizes, one needs to go elsewhere andalso be prepared to pay more there. The service is friendly here both in person and on the phone. The ambience is bright andthey pipe lively bollywood music. Here are my ratings for what I ordered: Lamb Tikka Masala - 5/5 Very enjoyable. Whileauthentic restaurants braise the protein in a curry for a long time so that the meat cooks and absorb the flavors of the sauce,restaurants with quick service pre-cook the meat (by boiling in spiced water) and the curry separately and mix the ordered sauceand protein in a hot skillet just before serving. In the latter method of cooking the meat invariably does not get enough timeto absorb the flavor of the curry. The taste of this tikka masala was spot on. Very delicious. While I am sure they used meatthat was pre-cooked separately, I could not detect that, which was a plus for this dish. Highly recommended. Jeera Rice - 5/5This comes as a side with the curry. Very well made. Naan - 5/5 Large, well made, and fluffy Lamb Korma - 3/5 The sauce was goopy and not did contain the exquisite flavors of a korma curry. The pre-cooked meat did not absorb the taste of thecurry. Chicken Biryani - 4/5 This does not compare to the kachchi or dum biryani made in an authentic restaurant. If I setaside expectations of authenticity this rice and chicken mixture is quite enjoyable to eat. Gulab jamun - 5/5 Soft anddelicious Overall, Tarka is a great fast casual addition to the Westchase neighborhood that makes Indian food access Read more

Today was my 1st visit and I enjoyed the food , especially Saag ( creamy spinach) with shrimp and rice . I also had a glass of... white wine with the Ras Malai dessert. The portions are not large but food tasted good . If you never had Indian food, justremember, it has a variety of spices and you have to decide how spicy you want it to be . Find a couple of pics attached . Read more
