We went on Valentine’s Day and had chicken afghani curry, chicken tika masala, Mahi Mahi vindaloo, with a side of garlic naan. Absolutely everything was delicious! The food was evenly spiced with so many layers of flavor, and the spice level was perfectly described. The service was top notch. We could easily see how much care and pride the staff puts into their food and their service. This is a must try!

This is our 2nd time here and we loved the food. The chicken chettinadu was awesome, I had asked for Indian hot and they nailed it. My girlfriend loved the veg thali and enjoyed every dish in thali like never before. This is a true hidden gem in Tampa.

I love this place. They have been taking extra care with the food lately. Like every Indian Restaurant in Tampa Bay it was always better certain days or when certain Chefs are working. I have only had great meals here lately and they get my spice requests right every time. Sometimes you just have to explain a bit so they know what spice level you are going for. You know, I want to sweat but don’t want my butt on fire the next day. They know that one.

* The tandoori chicken is tender and flavorful.
* The butter chicken is creamy and delicious.
* The mango lassi is refreshing and sweet.
* The restaurant is clean and comfortable.
* The prices are reasonable.
Overall, Desi Tadka Indian Cusine is a great place to enjoy a delicious Indian meal. I highly recommend it!

All in all good but not my favorite. Vegetarian Thali is a meal that could be shared but I was not happy about the chana masala. I ordered the Kadai Paneer as spicy/ hot and it came in medium. I ordered veg. Pakora that the waiter forgot completely and I ordered a side of onion, chili, lemon and I had to remind him of my order. As a saving grace, he was fast with the water refill and when he asked about the spice level and I responded that I would call it medium, he brought somei hot sauce.

We had been wanting to come here for years and finally got around to it. Very pleasant experience at this restaurant. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable. They patiently explained how spicy the dishes were and described them to us. The food was excellent and more than enough. We could have taken some home but we indulged ourselves in flavor.

Best Indian food I’ve ever had. The butter chicken was phenomenal and the chicken was so tender. the garlic Naan was only like $4 but out of this world, I could have ate just that. The place was so clean and aesthetically pleasing and my food was right there ready to be picked up right on time.
I will for sure be back.

The food is delicious. A bit pricey, but most restaurants are now a days. Food portions are good. Everyone is very professional, they make you feel right at home. New favorite Indian restaurant.

We’ve always enjoyed eating at Desi Tadka in Oldsmar, but this time we had the pleasure of catering vegetarian food from them for a Hindu engagement ceremony at our home. Simply put — it was outstanding!
Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Guests kept going back for seconds (and thirds), and several people asked me where the food came from. The menu truly captured the authentic taste of India while still feeling homely and comforting — exactly what you hope for when hosting such a special occasion.
A big thank you to Vinod Rishi, the owner, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He is hands-down one of the best in the business — not only for the quality of food but also for his warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail.
Whether you’re stopping by for a casual meal or planning catering for an important event, I can’t recommend Desi Tadka enough. Oldsmar is lucky to have this amazing restaurant.
