Tadka - Biryani & Tandoor

Tadka – Biryani & Tandoor brings the authentic flavors of Hyderabadi dum biryani and clay-oven tandoor cooking to the heart of Morrisville, North Carolina. Located at 9825 Chapel Hill Road, Unit F, this family-owned restaurant has quickly become a local favorite for those craving genuine Indian cuisine made with time-honored techniques and fresh, house-made spice blends. The restaurant specializes in slow dum-cooked biryani, where rice and meat are layered and sealed in traditional pots, cooked over low flame to allow the flavors to meld perfectly. Their menu features over 10 biryani varieties, from classic chicken and mutton to seafood and vegetarian options, all prepared with 100% halal ingredients. The tandoor section offers freshly baked naan, kebabs, and tikka dishes straight from the clay oven, imparting that signature smoky char. What sets Tadka apart is their commitment to freshness – all spices are ground in-house daily, and every dish starts with a traditional tadka, the sizzling tempering of spices in hot ghee that gives Indian food its soul.

Family packs include biryani with salan, raita, chicken 65, and dessert – perfect for parties and office lunches.
