"The food was excellent and beautifully presented. I dined in for dinner, and the price per person was around £10-20. I would rate the food and service both at a 5, while the atmosphere gets a solid 4. I highly recommend the Thali and think it's an excellent choice for vegetarians, as the restaurant features a dedicated vegetarian menu with clearly labeled dishes. There is plenty of free parking available as well."

"This is one of the best, if not the absolute best, curries I’ve ever had! I was initially disappointed when they informed me that they couldn't serve alcohol, as I enjoy having a drink with my meal (though you can bring your own). My disappointment grew when I first saw the size of the portion placed in front of me, but that feeling quickly vanished as soon as I started eating. Wow! It was bursting with flavor, incredibly fresh, and the meat was cooked to perfection. The side dishes were fantastic as well. I can't emphasize enough how delicious this meal is; I highly encourage everyone to try it for themselves. If I ever find myself in the area for work, I will definitely be back!"

"When you're craving authentic Indian food with the true taste and flavor of India, look no further than Taka Tak in Oldbury. The dishes are freshly cooked, not reheated from frozen or leftovers, and absolutely delicious. The restaurant has a great atmosphere with popular Indian songs playing, plenty of free on-site parking, and excellent customer service. The only downsides are the waiting time for food and portion sizes, which could be improved. Despite this, I would still give Taka Tak a 5-star rating and highly recommend it."

"The food is really enjoyable. Some of the meat can be a bit dry in parts but generally speaking it's quite good. Is it better than what you'd get at the average chippy? Not for what it costs. Ordering two box meals and a couple of sides got the cost up to £50 with charges. Considering a large mixed meat in naan at my local chip shop is £7, it's incredibly expensive.There's far too much waste which really needs to be addressed. Every food item is at least two layers of packaging deep. With a box meal you have the outer corrugated cardboard box, then all dividers inside, then the kebab sandwich is in a box of its own, then it's in a foil wrapper, then it's in a paper wrapper. It's all needless waste and when we're all trying to be more conscious of our carbon footprint this just isn't required.There are some nice things that just aren't replicated elsewhere, their kebab bread is fantastic and very similar to a traditional Turkish pide. Their sauces are really good too. Full of flavour and balanced well with the meat but I will say there's never enough of it. Three little poxy pots is all you get.The fries are average. Nothing remarkable about them. The spicy fries are a tasty addition but this option does bump up the price but again, perfectly average.Overall I'd recommend that it's worth trying at least once but the prices are way over valued and quantity in some areas lack. If they cut down on all the needless packaging they could even bring the prices down but £15-20 for a box meal (one can of pop, one kebab sandwich, one fries and two spring rolls) it's a bit of a joke."
