I visited Tarka today on the basis of this video. It lived up to my positive expectations. Friendly staff, clean restaurant, great food and good value for money.
Hey Dave, I am catching up on some of your older videos , I have seen this place when I came last year , but there are so many to choose from ,I agree about the nan bread , but your ones there look very nice , the whole meal looked delicious
Hello David and Nong. will have to give Tarka a visit. i arrive to Pattaya first week of April. I enjoy a good curry. The starters look tasty and plentiful. Chicken tikka looked tasty. Love that Nong understands Scottish. Smart lady.
Thank you David. Staying in Pratumnak some of the time, and a couple of the newer hotels in town as well. Would enjoy meeting you if your schedule permits. Cheers!
That looked delicious. I love my Indian food and that looks as close to back home as anything. I’ve heard good things about here from many and Trev always bangs on about it. Those starters, wow, bang on. Cant wait to go and try.
My first time in Thailand was February last month & man can the Thailand women eat it’s was all good fun & man did i enjoy her company roll on may back again for more fun with her……
I've never been here but I've heard great things about it. I used to go to the Ali barber on pattaya clang but its a bit pricy. This place looks better. Thanks for posting. The starters look so 👍 good
Raymond, I used to use Ali Baba also, but had a couple of bad (very salty) experiences so changed to Tarka. I have photos of my daughter's and me in Ali Baba almost 20 years ago 🙏🙏
need to try this place, i enjoy Everest at the back of Hemmingways, i also liked Tikka centre opposite the end of soi honey, but i think they changed ownership, the best for me is Ali Baba on Pattaya Klang, the atmosphere is great with all the staff dressed in traditional garb, but it is expensive🍽🍽🍽
Nong can eat everything on the menu and still be hungry. Dinner looked yummy. Absolutely love lamb curry, my favorite and Indian restaurant seem to No how to make it tender, juicy and mighty delicious [ well most of them ] I laughed when you asked your wife if she wanted to try and YES Absolutely. Such a delicious video and outstanding job.
Hey David, I'm a new subscriber and plan on visiting Pattaya soon. Does this review still hold as best value for money? Thanks, I appreciate your channel and have been binge-watching. 😊
For sure, I still visit Tarka about twice a month. Highly recommend the Chicken Tikka starter. Owner Pop is a lovely guy and will take good care of you 🙏🙏
That food looked so good and was a Great Value . You know I have a soft place in my heart for you and Nong , it was fun watching all of you enjoy the food. Keep it up my Scotish Brother ❤️💯
Good to see a UK style Indian restaurant that looks good value meals and portions. As so many there nowadays you don’t know which 1 to try. Will keep this Tarka House in mind next trip…thanks for the great review. 😉😎👍🏻
Cheers David, I've had some great meals at Tarka House - good portion sizes and very tasty food. It and Everest are my Indian restaurants of choice in Pattaya.
Trevor Everything Pattaya reviewed this. I visited with 3 others and we weren't blown away if I'm totally honest. Coming from Birmingham i guess I've been spoilt.
Yes I've done a course when in Birmingham I remember great taste and very cheap. Unfortunately in Pattaya most of them cater for the Indian tourists, which leads to chopped up chicken, bones and all. I find Tarka pretty good in comparison. I do want to try the place and the Royal Cliff but I'll need to save up my pocket money 🤣🤣
I tell you what though David, went there Friday with a mate to give it another try, and there was a surge of people saying how you had vlogged it and recommended it. I hope you are getting a kick back!!!
Never Steve, we either take you to places we enjoy, or somewhere totally new to us so people can see. I don't think we ever review the food in depth, just give people the opportunity to see some of the diversity of restaurants available. There are so many Indian restaurants here I have probably only visited about 5 of them. Hopefully the next Chinese dining will be more to your liking 🙏🙏
Hey mate. We'll keep tuning in and checking these places out. You are doing a very useful public service and I personally appreciate it! You should get together with the other vloggers and write a guide!! Thanks David and catch you soon. Oh by the way Jimmy is up and about. I told him off, that he should be resting. There's no telling the guy
Excellent video David the food looked really good, I dont normally eat Indian food at home in the UK or Thailand. I prefer Chinese, that said the last time I ate Indian food was in the Business lounge in Dubai a few years ago and it was really good. A quick question, What camera did you use for this video & what app did you use to control your camera ? keep the videos coming love your content
Luckily for you next week is a Chinese, much fewer of them here compared to Indian restaurants. I film using my DJI Pocket 2 using the mimo app to control 🙏🙏
reasonable. Most cities are expensive even for Indian meals, really crazy. As more and more indian rest. pop up, they become even lowered from competitions.
Never seen 🤪anyone having naan bread with Biryani , that " biryani" looked more like plain rice mixed with tikka sauce on tawa. In india we call it tawa pulau. you shoud always try Dum Biryani which is the authentic way of preparation.
David, never been but food looks nice 🙏🇬🇧 I’ve found Indian food a bit hit & miss in Thailand and normally expensive, I don’t know why - they should charge thailand prices not western prices. Just one more thing, are all the chicken dishes boneless as they would be in the U.K.
In Jomtien we like Masala Twist, but the meat in the portions is on the small side. I like the curries at Tarka, but love the starters, especially the Onion Bhaji and Chicken Tikka 🙏🙏 I buy Mum about 20 curries a month from Tarka, take away 🙏
Rule #1 You do not eat Sub-continent dishes with cutlery. It's made from love, which means you savour the flavour with your fingers. Rule #2 Never mix roti with rice. 😂
I have to disagree with you on this one! Heard soooo much from Pattaya TH-camrs…so I went to try it! Very UNDERWHELMING! Firstly…a good judge of an ethnic restaurant…is how many “locals” eat there! Not one Indian at Tarka House! Secondly…you summed it up with “UK Indian food” ….that is not “Indian Food” that is a watered down version of Indian food to suit a bland boring UK palate! If you want “real” Indian food in Pattaya go to Madras Darbar opposite Central Festival.!! IMHO.
I'll give your recommendation a try. Some of the others I've been to have disappointed especially having bone splinters in the curries. (I understand that Indians prefer meat on the bone as it adds more flavour). For me it's the starters that make Tarka house, I love the Chicken Tikka and Onion Bahji the most. 🙏🙏
I visited Tarka today on the basis of this video. It lived up to my positive expectations. Friendly staff, clean restaurant, great food and good value for money.
Great to hear Mike, hope you managed to say hello to Pop, the owner, lovely guy with great standards. So happy you had a lovely meal 🙏🙏
@@DavidAndNong Yes, we had a good chat. I mentioned your video and he was chuffed. I will be going back tomorrow I think.
Another great vid with fab content demonstrating great food, but more importantly the happy chemistry you two bring to the World. Thank you.
I love Indian food I will go there for sure . thank you .... enjoy .

Hey Bruce, not long to wait then. Safe travels over and hope you have a great time. Chicken Tikka is still on my mind also 🤣🤣
Thank you David. Staying in Pratumnak some of the time, and a couple of the newer hotels in town as well. Would enjoy meeting you if your schedule permits. Cheers!
Love good Indian food the hotter the better...:) Nice video

Does Pop deliver to the UK? 😛
thankyou will go there when next in town.
Good looking food, good looking people and Nong's beautiful smile. God bless.

kISS HAS GREAT FOOD i ENJOY GOING THERE FOR SOME AMERICAN BREAKFAST
th-cam.com/video/f0V2bSHbyfc/w-d-xo.html 🙏🙏
Pop has the best food in town 😋
will definitely try this place in DECEMBER
Mmmm, very partial to a lamb biryani. Prices seem competitive. Thanks for introducing me to a new venue to try on my next visit to Pattaya.
need to try this place, i enjoy Everest at the back of Hemmingways, i also liked Tikka centre opposite the end of soi honey, but i think they changed ownership, the best for me is Ali Baba on Pattaya Klang, the atmosphere is great with all the staff dressed in traditional garb, but it is expensive🍽🍽🍽

Love Indian food . I'll try that one next time

@@DavidAndNong thanks and looking forward to visiting soon!
That looked absolutely fantastic David. I’m in Town so I’ll be trying that asap. I think it will be the mutton rice for me as well.
It was great Dan, most would probably prefer a different sauce. I think my brother has a daal with it 🙏🙏
David your a champion mate but nong has you covered? Your a lucky man
Can you make a video from Hotel Blackwoods on soi 7 with prices and room finnes and swimmingpool?
That food looked so good and was a Great Value .
You know I have a soft place in my heart for you and Nong , it was fun watching all of you enjoy the food. Keep it up my Scotish Brother ❤️💯
Good to see a UK style Indian restaurant that looks good value meals and portions. As so many there nowadays you don’t know which 1 to try. Will keep this Tarka House in mind next trip…thanks for the great review. 😉😎👍🏻
You are welcome, the chicken tikka and Onion Bhaji are also first class, if you have a big appetite🤣🤣
Cheers David, I've had some great meals at Tarka House - good portion sizes and very tasty food. It and Everest are my Indian restaurants of choice in Pattaya.
Definitely the best two around, Tarkas starters win me over though. Must give Everest a try again though 🙏
I like the Scottish turn of phrase “ it will out your weight up” we call it sticking to your ribs in murica
Thanks for the review going tonight
Oooo that looked delicious. Superb value as well judging by the bill. Now I’m hungry.😄😇 Thanks David, I hope you’re all well.
All good Simon, just finished my Friday ride and editing in a coffee shop whilst having some cocktails with Nong 🙏🙏
just two starters 🤯Bloody hell that would fill me for 3 days and im 17stone lol 🙏😆👍👍🏾👍🏻👍🏽👍🏼☸️
How do you compare this gaff to Everest? I think Everest is my fave Indian place so far, but keep hearing good things about Tarka.
Been a while since I've been to Everest, (which I also enjoy) so probably just down to individual tastes. I do love the starters at Tarka though 🙏🙏
@@DavidAndNong Nice one.. Must give Tarka a try, looked great.
Nice video Dave if you are having a Biryani order a vegtable curry or Tarka Dahl on the side that will give you a sauce to go with it.
Harry it was my first one, but Pop knew what to give me. I think my brother orders a Dahl with it, but the Tikka Sauce was fine for me 🤣🤣

He never stops Steve, I don't think he knows how to take it slow 🙏🙏
Do they do chips asking for a friend
What's the difference between chicken tikka masala and tarka masala?
They're almost the same but the second is 'otter.
Do you have a book of grandpa jokes 555 seriously though that wasn't bad 🤣🤣

reasonable. Most cities are expensive even for Indian meals, really crazy. As more and more indian rest. pop up, they become even lowered from competitions.
I have dined with many Thai people over the years, both through work and socially. I have yet to find one that enjoys Indian food!
Yes, as an occasional meal, but not regularly 🙏
Not many Thais like Indian people
Shout out for Swaab on Pattaya Klang. On the left hand side, 200 M from Beach Rd.
I find it easier to understand Ning 😁
David you are right " You can't have an Indian for two people" that's why I never tell my wife I am going!! 🤣
So bad Alan, Nong loves a curry, but it took a while to win her round 🤣🤣
Bilen videos are also good
Never seen 🤪anyone having naan bread with Biryani , that " biryani" looked more like plain rice mixed with tikka sauce on tawa. In india we call it tawa pulau. you shoud always try Dum Biryani which is the authentic way of preparation.

prices not western prices. Just one more thing, are all the chicken dishes boneless as they would be in the U.K.
Same here Martin, I hate when they make it with bones in. Tarka is all boneless thankfully 🙏🙏
I found Tarka House to be ok, but nothing special. Need to try others. Will take a look in Jomtien.
In Jomtien we like Masala Twist, but the meat in the portions is on the small side. I like the curries at Tarka, but love the starters, especially the Onion Bhaji and Chicken Tikka 🙏🙏 I buy Mum about 20 curries a month from Tarka, take away 🙏
I'll give Masala Twist a try.
Food looks nearly as nice as your charming lady wife DS
Rule #1
You do not eat Sub-continent dishes with cutlery. It's made from love, which means you savour the flavour with your fingers.
Rule #2
Never mix roti with rice. 😂
Yep, I don't understand why the restaurant's don't point that out...
It's either bread or rice, would you have rice with your noodles?
Everest the back of hemingways the best one
Yes I like Everest also, but prefer the starters at Tarka 🙏🙏
🙂

I have only heard good things about that restaurant.
chicken tiki mesalla as indian as scotland
Of course, built for us Scots 🤣🤣
Oh … if only u knew what real Indian food tastes like
Maybe...but I know what I like🤣🤣
as the old adage goes .. we don’t know what we don’t know ….
