Tarka Indian Kitchen

Tarka is hands down my favorite spot in town, but Luis is the reason I keep coming back! The food is always a consistent 5/5, but the service Luis provides is next level. He’s incredibly fast, super friendly, and knows the menu so well he can practically order for you. He handled our checkout with such great energy and truly kept the vibes immaculate. If you're stopping by, pray that Luis is on shift!

We love the food here! They have great prices and great service. No matter what location we go to the food is great and the service is fantastic!

We were here for the first time and ordered paneer tikka masala, chicken biryani and butter naan. We asked for mild spice and it was mild. Food is mediocre. We have eaten much better Indian food.

The food was a disaster for me and my friends. Some people may like it but its too bland for an indian person. I ordered a medium spice paneer tikka masala, it was too sweet and was like tomato greavy with paneer pieces. Then I ordered a extra spicy mirchi masala curry, that was not a flavorful spice. Its more like a raw mirchi kind of spice. The paneer biryani I ordered was more like a paneer pulav. The cumin taste was too overpowering in it. My entire food experience was like american versions of the indian menu. Tbh I dont recommend it to any person who wants authentication indian food, as its spice levels and flavors are not on par with many other restaurants in austin and round rock areas. The service and atmosphere was really silent and peaceful though.

DO NOT EAT HERE. Roaches in the food and the Food license is expired. I visited Tarka for the first time today. Ate a portion of my meal and then decided to get a to-go box. After scooping my bowl, I found a dead cockroach at the bottom. Ick! It was so disgusting to find this AFTER eating my meal. Upon leaving, I also discovered their food operating license is expired. I will never visit this restaurant again.
