Great Indian food restaurant. Food tasted good to me. Staffs were well behaved. The amount of the food seemed a little less as compared to other Indian restaurants in this price. I have tasted chicken biriany. It was served with yogurt sauce and combined tasted good. Felt like it would be better if chicken was added a little more. The mango drink was perfect to quench thirst.

Great Indian food at reasonable price. We ordered chicken biriyani and will probably get the same in the future. There mango lemonade had a calming effect during the summer heat. Our order took around 10 minutes to be served which is pretty good for the type of food it is. They have clean restroom and sufficient parking space.

Update: we still enjoy the food and will continue to come back. At our last visit the naan bread was different and not as good. Not sure I will order it again.

Terka is one of my favorite restaurants!!! Whenever we come back for visiting Texas, we really like to go to Terka because there is no Terka in where we live… The food is so yummy!!! I just hope their kitchen is clean enough too Overall, I really really like this restaurant!!! We can get veggies or non dairy options here which is so good because of dairy allergy in our family member.

Excellent find. We’ve been here many times and we’ve never had bad food. I had the chicken Tika Masala. Great taste and large portions. We got medium heat and even that will make your nose run. We will be back. We are back (7/21). Always great food!

This place was very delicious and exquisite. Hands downs to the best Indian food I have had in years. The staff was very courteous and very friendly. The cheesecake not pictured was mango flavored and was delicious. The chai tea was a great option for my diabetic dad. The refreshment were delicious. Kids menu and portion were very reasonable. Everything was perfectly seasoned and portion were fulling. Would come back again next time. Worth driving 700 miles for this place.

Had the cashew/ pistachio chicken curry – blah- maybe because it was nut curry but I ordered med spicy and it was null nada spice- just blah. The chicken were good portions but no flavor, remind of people with covid that couldn’t taste anything. Have had plenty of curry in my life and this make me long for the curry house in pacific beach if it’s still there. Will not be traveling back to here
