We had a wonderful dining experience at Desi Tadka! We ordered ghee idli, chili gobi, paneer tikka, Vijayawada veg biryani, and rose falooda, and every dish was flavorful and well prepared.
The ghee idli was soft, aromatic, and perfectly paired with the chutneys. Chili gobi was crispy with the right balance of spice, and the paneer tikka was tender, smoky, and full of flavor. The Vijayawada veg biryani stood out with its authentic taste and spicy kick—definitely a must-try for biryani lovers. We ended the meal with rose falooda, which was refreshing and delicious.
Overall, great food, authentic flavors, and a satisfying experience. Highly recommend Desi Tadka for anyone craving quality Indian vegetarian food in Alabama! ✨

One of the top Indian Restaurants in the area. I highly recommend this place not only because the food is top tier but the service is also. You are greeted with a smile when you walk in the door. There is a photo wall as soon as you come in which is a nice touch for the photo ready customers. The Chef is amazing, I absolutely love Indian food but we all know that the spice level can be a bit overwhelming if you are not accustomed to it. He actually made my dish at the right amount of spice for me and of course my husband was like “bring the heat”. We truly enjoyed our meals and we do ask if you love or even like Indian food, please stop by Desi Tadka Indian Restaurant and enjoy a plate. They have some of the most authentic dishes and the Chef and staff are absolutely fantastic.

Went a couple of times both were Sunday was a long way. Took an hour to get my food when I got my food. It was almost cold today. I went again ordered cheese pav Bhaji. Got regular Pav Bhaji. When I told staff, then they went and they added cheese on top ridiculous bhaji on my plate with that was without cheese. Pav was not fresh even felt bhaji was not fresh and order chicken 65 when it got into my table, it was almost cold

We got takeout. The chole bhature (puffed fried bread with chickpea curry) was fantastic. I already started eating that before I took the pic. You can’t go wrong when ordering breads and curries here. Edit: Went again. The pav bajii was way too salty. It was like they took the salt bottle and just poured it in there:/ And the south indian dishes were just alright.

The servers were very kind and happy to recommend dishes. We got the Garlic Chili Naan (which came out shaped like a heart!) and Ghee Podi Idli as appetizers. For entrees, we got the Goat Saag and the Hariyali Chicken Tikka. The Hariyali Chicken Tikka was definitely my favorite, but it was all fantastic!! Would love to come back 🙂

Absolutely Outstanding Indian Dining Experience!
DESI TADKA truly delivers on flavor, quality, and hospitality. The menu has a wide variety of authentic Indian dishes with bold, delicious flavors, and every item we tried was cooked beautifully and seasoned perfectly. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making the whole experience even better. The ambiance feels warm and inviting — great for families, date nights, or casual dinners. Everything from the biryanis to the curries and naan was excellent. This is easily one of the best Indian restaurants in the area — highly recommended to anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine!

We had for appetizer,the Chili Garlic shrimp, then for the main course we had the Chicken curry, Coconut Chicken, Chicken Karma with white rice and and two orders of Butter roti. I tried all three dishes but my favorites were the Coconut and Curry chicken these were delicious with just the right amount of spices, we choose mild. Can’t forget the appetizer it was a great start to the meal.

Great food, great service. We called on our way to Oxford. We told them our exact ETA and the server had it hot and ready by the time we got there. The food was delicious and hot also to our spice level. The restroom was clean. The restaurant was very well organized and very authentically decorated.Interiors were very classy. 5STARS all the way. I forgot to take pictures of the food and the interiors as when I saw the food served, I was hungry and got into my food. Next time please remind me that camera eats first
