South Asian Food in Mission District, San Francisco

“Absolutely loved my experience at this Takda Indian restaurant! The food was bursting with authentic flavors – from the buttery dal makhani to the perfectly spiced butter chicken. The naan was fresh and fluffy, and every bite transported me straight to Punjab. The staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive, making the dining experience even better. The ambiance had a cozy, traditional touch that added to the charm. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy real Punjabi cuisine.”

“Kheer is good”

“Love their goat biryani !!!”

“Food is crazy good. I had butter chicken, garlic naan, the rice and rice pudding. I am back again. Totally reasonably priced! Some of the freshest Indian food I have had! You have to try it. A gem in the Mission.”

“We ordered the chicken tikka pizza, samosas, and mango lassi and they all hit the spot. The samosas are exactly what you’d expect seasoned well and by the time we brought it home it was the perfect temp to eat. The chicken tikka pizza comes with a green sauce on the side that perfectly compliments the sweetness of the dough and the mango lassi was exactly what you want in a sweet dessert/complimentary beverage to end the meal. I’ll continue to recommend them and order in the near future again.”

“Awesome vegetarian food! Veg Pakora, Samosas and veg gravy with bread basket was amazing.”

“Tadka Indian Restaurant is a hidden gem! The food is flavorful and authentic- every dish we tried was delicious.

There food is good and lives up to its name of "Indian food" be careful if you can't tolerate the seasons and spices because they're coming with it! Very rich in taste and is definitely prepared with love and effort! WHEW! That's what I said to myself as I could taste the flavor turning up as ate the chicken biryani and it was lit!

“Chicken tikka masala, Chana masala, and garlic naan are all amazing!!”

“I didn’t get pictures because we were super hungry and dived right into the food, but it was SO good! Felt very homely and light - exactly what we were looking for! We got the chicken curry, daal tadka and garlic naan. All were really good. My favorite was the palak paneer! Another plus point is they are open until late so its a good option for late night cravings. The staff were really courteous and accommodating as well.”

“I'm new to the area for a couple of months and I'm so happy to have found this place. Indian cuisine is one of my favorite comfort foods, and Tadka hits the spot every time. Their Shrimp Tikka Masala, basmatti rice, and cheese Nan (not officially on the menu but the chef is so nice and always makes it) is heavenly. The people here are so kind, and their food is amazing. I don't go anywhere else for Indian food.”

“Can only speak to the butter chicken and onion naan, but it’s among the best in the city. Just moved to the neighborhood, and they’ve treated me like family every time I’ve gone (probably twice a month on average). They were even gracious enough to accept an order a few minutes before closing.”

“Great Punjabi food! Good vegetarian options and open late. The food reminds me of home.”
