Had a takeaway today from this place, one of the best Biriyani I had in town. Just loved it, will order again soon

He usado mucho Tarka express en los últimos dos años y me ha impresionado mucho. Ordenado esta noche y tomó 1 hora y media para venir y fue absolutamente horrible. ¿Ha tomado este lugar otra persona? ¡La calidad de la comida ha caído!

The food from this takeaway truly touched my heart. I’ve tried many takeaways, but this one stood out remarkably. The chicken korma and masala were not just delicious; they felt like a warm embrace from home. After enjoying their meal, I felt a deep sense of comfort, as if I had savored a home-cooked feast. Plus, their naan bread was absolutely delightful. It’s a wonderful find that I can't wait to revisit!

I’m gutted for this business. When my other regular Indian increased their prices (and is usually closed on a day we want Indian) we would go to Tarka. When Tarka first opened, the service, the food and the time of delivery was fab. Always delivered within the specified time frame. The last few times we have ordered the delivery time has been awful. Out of the recommended time frame, leaving us to call up to hear the usual ‘delivery is on its way’. Thought we’d order from here this week (usual takeout closed for the day and I actually really enjoy the food from Tarka!). On placing the order, it advised delivery within 80minutes. Not ideal but the wait time seemed to be increased (something that was probably needed!) HOWEVER, 80 minutes later, still no food. Called up and was told the driver was on the way. I live relatively close. 30 minutes later, still no food! I called up again to be told it was being delivered. I advised that the person I spoke to 30 minutes prior told me the exact same thing. The owner came and delivered my meal, apologetic and polite. Which was nice of him. But I feel that he has to take some ownership of the situation. It’s a shame, as I’ve said, I really enjoy the food from here! But the delivery times are questionable! Especially when you’re told it’s on its way and it’s obviously not. A bit of honesty in the situation would defuse some bad feelings.

I have been a regular customer at Tarka Express, and their food has consistently been good. However, today's meal was exceptional.The biryani was particularly delicious, with flavors that were mouthwatering. It's clear that they have stepped up their game. Highly recommended

The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. I especially loved the biryani which was one of the best I’ve ever had. Whether you're looking for a casual meal or a special night out, this place is a must-visit. Can’t wait to come back again!

Not fresh food. Pakoras smelled spoiled. Yellow sauce smelled and tasted like it was refrigerated for some time. Biryani had no taste just yellow rice with chicken. Doesn’t look like it was cooked by a chef. Not at all worth the money.

Tuve pollo Tikka Pathia, pollo Tikka Masala, arroz, papas fritas y 2 panes Naan (Keema Naan y ajo Naan) en un pedido para llevar esta noche y la comida era excelente. El sitio web era fácil de usar y me dio una hora precisa de recogida. La comida estaba caliente cuando se recogió. Tengo que decir que fue la mejor Pathia y he comido un montón de ellos! (Estoy informado fiablemente de que el Masala también era extremadamente bueno). La carne era tierna, porciones generosas y fantástica relación calidad-precio. Un cliente muy satisfecho esta noche. No irá a ningún otro lugar para llevar en el futuro

My self and my husband decided to try this Indian takeaway, as our original one closed down, I would like to say we actually really like the food from here, the first order was a bit different as we needed to adjust to the change, we understand everyone cooks different, but after the first order we decided to give it another go, now we order about once a month and it's really reasonably priced and always on time if not early which doesn't bother us, so thank you for the good food, the friendly service and being affordable:)

First off cannot understand this but there are 2 Indian takeaways at this address, another one is called The Bina advertised on Just Eat Please do not order from here. Ordered a set meal which included Naan bread that didn't turn up, tired to phone takeaway but no such telephone number. I have had many Indian takeaways but this is my first time of having Tinned baby potatoes as Bombay Potatoes and Saag Aloo tasted ok but please tinned potatoes The chicken buhna tasted not like buhna to me very bland and left a bad taste in my mouth If a lover of Indian food please don't make the mistake l made order from here. Delivery driver was nice that's all l can say good about this dodgy place. Why are there 2 Indian takeaways at a same address???

Waited 2 hours and called and was told it was ready and needed to be "packaged up" and would be with us within 10-15 minutes. 35 minutes later made another call to say it was ready but they were waiting for a driver.

Its a takeaway so atmosphere doesnt matter, but the service was great. The food flavours were amazing, every dish food had lovely flavours, the only reason it lost 1 star was the chicken was over cooked and a bit dry even in the curry sauce. If that was sorted would be in my top 3 indians of all time. And ive tried alot!

The delivery was supposed to be done within 20-30 mins. My order actually took more than three hours to arrive. The food was cold, soggy and completely inedible. It went straight to trash. I called the restaurant multiple times to track my food. The first two times the man on the phone lied and told me the order has been sent and I will receive it within 5 mins. The third time he told me that there is a lot of traffic and the delivery is unexpectedly delayed. This restaurant is close to my house and this was a weekend. I doubt there was much traffic on that route. Do not order from here. They are dishonest and lie. I do not mind a bit of wait but the blatant lying was a bit too much. The food will take more than a few hours to arrive and it does not taste good. Avoid at all costs. I should have paid attention to the other negative reviews here. Extremely disappointed.

Having lost all faith in Indian takeaways, ie they all taste the same, a recommendation of Tarka, that faith has now been restored. Ordered starters, 3 mains with rice, poppadoms & naan and I can honestly say its the best Indian food we have tasted in years. The spices and flavours of each dish was exquisite and cooked to perfection and excellent value for money, 20% off with orders over £15. We ordered online & requested a timed delivery to which they were spot on. Highly recommend, you will NOT be disappointed.

Mint Dosa in Southampton is a hidden gem for South Indian food. Their paratha bread is a highlight—light, flaky, and full of flavor, it’s the perfect pairing for their delicious chicken curry. The curry itself is rich, aromatic, and packed with tender chicken that melts in your mouth. The warm and welcoming atmosphere, combined with attentive service, makes dining here an absolute pleasure. If you’re in Southampton and love authentic South Indian flavors, this place is a must-visit! I thought it was a little pricey, a bit cheaper and I'd give it five stars
