Great fast food that's full of flavour. Tadka Boom is more of a place where you grab a quick lunch, but the quality is good. They offer fusion dishes and twists on Indian classics. I had a really nice meal here and the service was excellent. The dhal was loaded with garlic and flavoured with sesame oil. This made is taste almost like hummus, it was unique. I also really liked their lassi, but the curries here are the star. I'll definitely return for lunch in the not too distant future.
Loved the curries here, the beef and lamb are to die for. You don't get a lot of that lingering spice smell after having them too. The price for them is great considering most other restaurants with good curries are a bit expensive. The ambiance is great as well with friendly and polite staff. The deals are great if you are keen to fill your self up.
Love this place! One of the best Indian restaurants in Melbourne since the new menu and new stuff came in earlier in the year I love going there even more!
My favourite is the butter chicken wrap, rice bowl and the naan sense tacos. The mango lassi drink is a must! The staff are always friendly and it’s a perfect lunch time meal.
Stumbled upon this Indian restaurant on Bourke st. love their modern decoration and interesting menu. Food is generous and none oily, value for money and tasty curries to choose from. Both curries and Mango Lassi is rich, creamy and delicious. Love their Tadka Taster Plate (choose 4 curries w rice and papadam)!
Delicious and healthy food at a reasonable price. Came in at the end of lunch time, manager and staff were friendly and accommodating. Good experience, will be back.
Yummy contemporary Indian with a modern twist. Don't go if you expect the usual Indian fare. This is new and different and authentically Indian. Spicy as you want. Well recommended.
I love the concept of a quick, hearty and relatively healthy Indian fare in the corporate side of Melbourne CBD. The menu is also very appealing, with authentic spiced curries and drier meats such as the lamb shoulder. It was unfortunate that the woman who served me during my first visit wasn't very generous of the portions, as I could definitely see the discrepancy in her serving compared to her colleagues. It came down that it wasn't too value for money as I expected. The oil from the roast lamb dripped into the brown rice, which was a let down. With that being said, I enjoyed the flavour profile of the meat dish as well as the chickpea curry. I loved the touch of pickled vegetables and yoghurt sauces on top of the bowl too. I'm looking forward to next time, perhaps I'll try the chicken curry.
Tadka Boom is a fantastic place for a satisfying, delicious feed. There are great veg/non veg choices and you can add or change things as you go. These options help keep their menu fresh and interesting and I love the way I can alter my sides depending on my mood on the day. Lovely, bright place for lunch.
An Indian lunch was on the Swine's menu today and what a satisfying feed it was. The Swine is new to Tadka Boom as an eatery and was happy that staff here were only to obliging to assist with explaining how the menu works. The Swine went with the safe option of standard curried meats, and rice for his first time, but was well impressed when watching the wraps being constructed. Looked awesome. Wraps did look Swine Sized (huge!) and delicious. Food here was curry in a hurry flavoursome, spicy good and very much filling. Price was reasonably good as well. The place was busy (which is always a great endorsement) with an inside and outside eating area. Tadka Boom is well recommeded and Swine approved. The Swine will be back!!
Amazing, lip smacking lunch!!! Had to wait in line for 10 minutes but well worth it. Very courteous staff.
The food was not just tasty but very healthy. Decided on a veg portion and not disappointed. Perfect for office goers in the CBD area.
Nice little Indian place tucked away in an "off the main road" lane. Prices are great and the food nice.
I tried the chilli chicken souvlaki and liked the fusion. Perfect place for a quick lunch break
No metal re-usable cutlery available if you dine-in. Indian food is very nice but seriously small businesses must have dishwashers that make the cleaning process very quick and efficient… and even if they don’t, how long does is really take to clean a big batch of utensils? I try to avoid businesses if their management greedy and don't care about environment.
The make the best desert in Melbourne. The Berry malai is one the best desert they serve with sweet rasmalai topped with raspberry on top is such a lovely combination. Lovely ambience to chill out with a beer and some burgers .
Great place for lunch if you love indian food. Good service from the staff. Quick service. There is also indoor seating.
