I really enjoy coming here. Ruby runs a tight ship, and serves up excellent Indian food. I really like their Chana Masala and roti bread. I highly recommend this clean restaurant to local people and visitors alike. They re-open at 4:30 PM for dinner, I recommend coming early, as they get super busy beginning at 6:00 and it can be challenging to get seated without a wait.

If you’re craving a genuine taste of India, look no further than Tadka Indian Cuisine! From the moment you step in, the warm and inviting ambiance, paired with the aroma of freshly cooked spices, sets the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu offers a wide variety of traditional Indian dishes, catering to both vegetarians and meat lovers. I tried the chicken biryani, which was fragrant and flavorful. The garlic naan bread was soft and fresh, ideal for scooping up every delicious bite. And let not forget the lemon fried rice, the fresh and clean taste was indescribable. What truly sets this restaurant apart is its attention to authenticity and quality. Each dish is a testament to the chef’s skill and passion for Indian cuisine. The service was exceptional, with the staff happy to make recommendations and explain the menu to newcomers. Whether you’re new to Indian food or a seasoned fan, Tadka Indian Cuisine is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be returning to explore more of their incredible offerings! Highly recommended.

Tadka Indian Cuisine exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we walked in, we were seated right away, and the atmosphere felt like home. We’ve been waiting over a year to dine here, and it was well worth it. Our waitress, Alejandra, was incredibly sweet and knowledgeable about the menu. Everything she recommended was spot on, and her genuine aloha and outstanding service will keep us coming back. We ordered the pani puri, samosa chaat, butter chicken, Goan lamb curry, and the sizzling momos. Each dish was bursting with flavor, and the pani puri and samosa chaat were hands down the best we’ve had in Hawaii. Every bite was a delight! Special shoutout to Veer, who made the evening even more memorable with his humor and dessert recommendation. His personality added such a fun and playful touch to our meal, and we truly appreciated the laughs and warm hospitality. Mahalo, Tadka family, for an unforgettable dining experience. We can’t wait to come back!- much aloha from the Hawaiian Family!

Food was great, service not so much. We got paneer makhni, goan curry, and chicken tikka masala with garlic naan and rice. All dishes were great! The female host is rude when she is talking to a customer. It feels like she does not want you to be there or she hates working there. They definitely need to talk to their workers about customer service.

We were so lucky, we entered the restaurant and immediately sat down at the table without a reservation, after us people stood in line, usually there is always a line. My friend and I were delighted with the food, we enjoyed the delicious food so much! Everything we ordered was very tasty! The service is excellent! I recommend!

Tadka Indian Cuisine Overall: ***** Highly Recommended ***** Food: **** Value: ***** Menu: **** Ambiance: *** Service: **** Parking: ***** lots in front & underneath After visiting Spice Indian cuisine about a month ago my two nephews, my wife and I went to Tadka Indian cuisine. We all agree that both restaurants are good and we recommended both. The Lamb Boti Kebab at Tadka was delicious and it was our favorite dish. The portion size was large and the price is reasonable. It was so good that we ordered a second round and devoured it. I recommend that you order it medium-rare, so it’s very tender and tasty. The curries and the garlic naan were also good. Like Spice there will be a line after 6 PM, so come early. They are open from lunch through dinner, so you come in between, and you will find open tables. RATINGS & RECOMMENDED ORDER: Lamb Boti Kabab = A+ Garlic Naan = A Korma Curry w Lamb = B Samosa Chaat = B Vindaloo Curry w Chicken = B Pani Puri = C Onion Kulcha = C (order garlic naan) Yelp: https://yelp.to/ALnno9Qc2E INSTAGRAM: MiltonIn808 If you would like to see more restaurant reviews, ratings of each dish, my recommended order, and the complete video, follow me. RATINGS KEY: A = Really Good - one of the best B = Good - would order again C = ok - similar, nothing special D = Not very good - wouldn’t order F = Terrible - avoid

This is the best Indian food I have eaten in my entire life. Words cannot adequately describe the rich bounty of gourmet deliciousness that saturated my naive taste buds. If there is an Indian heaven on earth, it is in this restaurant, and I would be happy to die and spend eternity consuming the glorious flavors of this fine establishment.
