Tukda (pronounced took-ra) means a bite of food. Tukda strives to provide healthy meals through corporate and party catering, and single pre-ordered meals, that are blend of Indian and American culture. The food ranges from core North Indian dishes to a fusion of Indian flavors to American dishes. Few other dishes are a blend of different cultures that Sukhmani has come across during her travels and meeting different people.
Every single order at Tukda is made fresh with quality ingredients and a lot of focus is laid on the preparation of each dish. I have tried food from various Indian restaurants, but nothing could be comparable to the food from Tukda. These guys make me feel like I am back to my home. The food is always so fresh and healthy, and it gives me the right taste just like home made.

I'd give 10 stars if could. The food is delicious, not oily, overly hot or overly salty and great flavor. I could taste the rich flavors of authentic Indian cooking. The process of ordering is very convenient as well. The extra five stars go to customer service, Sukhmani is very sweet and responsive, she even followed up on how I liked it.
It's way better than restaurant food, I ordered the Chole which were definitely like mom's cooking, paneer tikka which was chockful of soft and pillowy paneer. I'm a satisfied customer and will be reordering often and recommending to my friends

Very authentic, healthy and delicious Indian home-cooked style option to have. It's different from the food at Indian restaurants that you can only have once in a while because of the amount of oil and spices that go into giving it that flavor. Tukda is my go-to option that I never have to think twice about, health-wise and can have it on a daily basis!
I have tried a lot of their dishes now and really love the Paneer Tikka Masala, Rajma, Patta Gobhi, Palak Paneer, Kaale Chaney, Mixed Vegetable and Daal options. Can't recommend them enough!
Many thanks to the owner, Sukhmani, who took

Healthy.Delicious. Home cooked in the truest sense of the word! Tried their food on a trip to LA where they had catered at our friends' house. The vegetarian, as well as non-vegetarian dishes, were simply awesome. The flavors were not at all overwhelming and the use of mix of spices was simply perfect. I had the Chicken Curry, Palak Paneer, and Daal. The rotis were the best part of the meal, especially because good rotis are so difficult to find in the US. Don't expect typical restaurant-style greasy gravies or oily, fried rice or rotis dipped in oil. This is healthy food at its best

I'm passionate about good food and Tukda truly does justice to your Indian maa-ke-haath-ka-khana cravings. And that too in a much sustainable manner. There are ton of Indian restaurants around, but every time I devour the all-time-favorite chicken tikka masala or any other greasy Indian preparations, the happiness is fairly short-lived, and ends the very moment I step out of the restaurant. Remember those sumptuous but sinful gastronomic adventures when you could feel (and hear) all sort of chemical reactions inside your belly and which all of us "most definitely" regret later.

(Disclaimer: After back and forth discussions the owner gave us half the money for what they charged us for veg pulao). We agree that you have received lot of good reviews, that doesn't mean that this one time when things went south, the past reviews can be used as excuse. At times things go wrong and we raised the concern to you, the way you guys handled it was too disappointing. Constantly trying to defend that the food had salt when we said (like around 50 of us) said, it had absolutely no salt is just so not right. Why would we out of the blue say something like that, we wanted to have

I have been ordering food from Tukda for my family every week and it is sooo good!! The indian taste is very authentic. I like that it also tastes healthy and fresh and it is not greasy. She is very approachable with questions. And an added plus for me is that her food is very vegetarian and vegan friendly! I highly recommend Tukda!

I am quite shell shocked on how everyone has given 5 stars for the food here. I tasted food from Tukda at my friend's daughter's birthday party. We ordered the below items
Paneer masala, Pulao, Potato shots, Rotis
Paneer masala - this tasted like a curry made by a person who is learning how to cook. There was no flavor, spices or salt in the dish.
Potato shots - this was ok but became soggy. I did like this with the tamarind chutney compared to the others but definitely not the best. There was no green chutney
Rotis - these were the thickest rotis i have eaten but I can tolerate them

This is the most delicious and healthiest Indian food I've had so far in the US. We've tried the following items from Tukda :
- Chicken curry: Very good chicken pieces perfectly cooked unlike other Indian restaurants which just put chunks of Chicken breasts having no taste and are also rubbery. The taste of the curry was also yumm :)
- Palak Paneer: The paneer pieces were so soft, even after reheating twice and had perfect amount of spices.
- Daal: Something as simple as Daal was also was cooked with perfection with an explosion of flavors.
- Rotis: apparently they were made by my mom

Food was so flavorful and enjoyable! And it is healthy and homemade! The chicken kabob and the cucumber yogurt was my favorite but everyone should definitely try the potato puffs and sliders (with all three spices)!
The owners are so personable and genuine. They put so much care into each meal and each customer.
Will definitely eat here again!

This is probably the only tiffin service that gave me authentic Vada Pav (with red chutney), home made authentic dal and wheat roti (phulka). I crave for home made food, specially roti and not naan (can't have naan everyday, moreover its all purpose flour, right!), they were the closest to my mom made food and their weekly subscription is the best deal I could find in LA area.
