This is by far the best Indian food I’ve had in Birmingham. The food was absolutely delicious! The ambiance and service were impeccable! We will definitely be back :) I had the Andre curry and my boyfriend had butter chicken. The butter chicken was rich and flavorful and creamy! Andre chicken was as good with the kick of spice. The garlic nann was thin and so crispy. We came here with scrubs and they were so nice to give us a complimentary dessert 💓
This place is amazing!! From the food (which was phenomenal) to the atmosphere (not too fancy, not too casual) to the service (top notch), we have definitely found our new favorite traditional Indian restaurant. We tried a few new things, and each was better than the last. The garlic naan was my favorite, but the gulab jamun for dessert was the icing on the cake! Thank y’all—we will be back next week! ;)
Had a great experience at Desi Tadka! The chicken dum biryani was exceptional, and the Andhra chicken was delicious. The naan was the best we’ve ever had. Our server Manav was very attentive and sweet, and they even surprised us with a complimentary dessert with our names on it. Amazing food and thoughtful service!
Food is delicious. They also ask you for levels of spiciness. If you are brave, do their highest tier. The Lamb Vindaloo is delicious, Lamb was extremely tender and NOT dry. Very good. Chicken 65 is out of this world, and their Hakka Noodle is awesome too. Highly recommended.
This place is nicccee. Pretty seating & nice atmosphere. The food is also delicious. I tried a few items and it was enough for a group of people plus tons of leftovers. Here's what we ordered: Chicken Chettinand, Lamb Keema Naan, Mango Lassi (delicious, would be perfect alone for breakfast), Chicken Tikka Biryani and Chicken 65. Everything was seasoned perfectly & we chose the mild spice level.
Thanks to the chef for the little surprise at the end of our meal! We’ll be back :) **I would like to say that we were heavily pressured to write a google review while we were still in the restaurant. The food was very good. The service was great as well, almost excessively attentive. We were given a free dessert before being asked to write the review. We do appreciate the gesture, however if you are using google reviews to decide on the quality of the meals itself, you might want to take all of the reviews with a grain of salt, because I’m sure we were not the only ones who were pressured to make a review before leaving, and I’m sure that few people come back to edit their review at a later time. I do hope that this business continues to find success and we did enjoy the ambiance of the environment.
The food was 10/10. Best Chicken Tikka Masala I’ve ever had! Customer service waiters were friendly and prompt. They also made sure to ask if I needed help with the menu my first visit. They even treated me to one of their popular desserts just for being a first time customer. They also got to know me by name. They took care of my friends as well when I came in with more people. Overall nice experience.
