Super expensive for average Indian food - they charge extra for rice and plain nan so be prepared to pay $15 for lunch and don't stay for buffet - silverware is not clean and there are 3 choices in buffet not 44 as they try to lure you with.

Read moremy annual visits to new york always include one trip to tadka indian. connected to a banquet hall, tadka is divided by a wall to five star banquet which often hosts festivities such as weddings. the restaurant portion maintained the fancy feel of the banquet hall, with white tablecloth and nicely dressed waiters. the food is celebration worthy. my family is loyal to our respective orders: butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and palek paneer. rice and naan go very well with all of it. i wish id taken a picture of the food, but my hunger beat me to it. so instead, here is a photo of the atmosphere that i only came around to taking after our complimentary rice pudding. all together, dinner was delightful and i can’t wait to visit new york again, knowing tadka will be on...
