Tarka: “The pop and sizzle of spices dancing on hot oil”

OUR ROOTS

Fresh, Healthy Indian Cuisine

We set out with a simple premise. Create a restaurant with fresh and flavorful Indian food that is also fast and affordable. Serve it in a casual, modern space with stellar customer service. Make it as convenient as possible, whether you’re enjoying a relaxing meal on our patio with a glass of wine, or grabbing takeout using our online ordering system. And, run it as environmentally friendly as we can.

Our first store opened in Austin in 2009, and from that moment on, our guests have been almost as passionate about Tarka as we are. We had lines out the door, but couldn’t make the food fast enough. Struggling to keep up, we scrambled to redo our menu countless times before we finally found the right balance of curries, kabobs, biryanis, and freshly baked flatbreads. And we paired the food with great drinks like mango lemonade, fresh fruit lassis, and select wine and beer.

Enthusiastically embraced by Austin, Tarka opened its second location a year later and a third shortly after that. We opened our first store outside of Austin in 2014, and now have locations in Austin, San Antonio, Round Rock, and Houston, Texas.

At Tarka, we know that sound and smell intimately, from our own kitchens growing up. We have experienced the deliciousness that happens when our moms bring out their spice tiffins, and get their Tarka on.

Tarka Roots

Tarka is committed to making affordable and healthy Indian cuisine and offers a variety of vegan and gluten-free menu items.

Dine-in. Take Out. Delivery via third-party delivery partners.
CITY OF AUSTIN SUSTAINABLE ‘GREEN RESTAURANT’

The City of Austin has recognized Tarka as a Green Restaurant. We use environmentally friendly to-go packaging, recycle our used cooking oil, glass, aluminum, plastic & cardboard, and compost our food waste.
