Desi Tadka

"My husband I tried out Desi Tadka for the first time last weekend. We ordered the vegetable samosas, garlic naan, and mango lassis. I got the chicken tikka masala (mild, as I am a wimp when it comes to spiciness). My husband got the lamb vindaloo, medium. He said he probably could have ordered the next level of spice and it would have been fine for him. All of the food was delicious and the servers were courteous and helpful. We are happy to finally have an Indian restaurant in downtown Delaware! Previously we have had to drive to Powell or Columbus when the craving hit. We will be repeat customers."

"Visiting family in Delaware and we tried Desi, which was a phenomenal surprise. The food was absolutely delicious with ample servings (great deal price wise). We got a few different things to share amongst one another and each one was stellar. The paneer tasted freshly made and just melted in your mouth. The Dal Makhani was the star of our meal, with a mouth watering sauce."

"Giving them a break as they just opened. The decor appears somewhat of an after thought, with wires and extension cords hanging. I assume that will change soon. The food was good, but I thought a little pricey for the amount of meat in the curry. It felt a little sparse. The service was good, and staff friendly and inviting I hope they last, I will be back."

"The only reason it wasn't a 5 on the food is that the Mango Lassi wasn't very cold and the Gulab Jamun was cold, not warm as advertised. Flavors are very on point. For those who can't handle spicy heat, the mild had zero spiciness in it. Will DEFINITELY go back! Highly recommend!!"

"Finally, Indian food comes to downtown Delaware! Recently opened 10Nov23, we tried it out tonight. We were BLOWN AWAY!! The place was packed, it smelled amazing & everyone looked happy & satisfied. For apps-we tried the veggie pakora: well seasoned, fried to perfection, fresh without being heavy, clumpy or greasy. The veggie samosas were just as delicious. Tamarind & mint chutney spot on & fresh. Last app wast the chicken 65-aromatic, fresh chicken chunks, spiced just right. Yummy Mains: Malai Tikka was tender, fresh, addictive. Wifey gave it 2 thumbs up. I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, buttery, fragrant with juicy large chicken breast chunks. The sauce was amazing and not runny. Winner winner We shared the veggie Hakka noodles. That tasted great as well. The basmati rice included was served in large portions, fluffy, soft, seasoned perfectly. The naan was fresh out of the tandoori. Fluffy, tasty. Perfect for mopping up the masala sauce The owner said the liquor permit should be ready in a week. My expectations were low because of the location, but we were absolutely amazed. Our new go to for Indian food. You must try. Simple decor, attentive service reasonable prices and good portions."
