Tarka Indian Kitchen has 8 locations throughout Texas, setting itself apart from other upscale fast casuals by serving fresh, high-quality made-to-order food with customizable menu items. ‘Tarka’ (according to the case study on Wall-to-Wall Studios website) translates into the “sizzle of freshly sauteed ingredients, a sound and aroma that welcomes diners.” The logo is a bold, custom wordmark that looks to be inspired by the Hindu Sanskrit alphabet. This illustrative style is applied throughout the visual system, influencing the iconography and other marketing materials. Wall-to-Wall also had a hand in planning the environment and decor of current and future Tarka locations, taking familiar Indian visuals and giving them a contemporary and approachable feel. Brightly painted walls, compelling mandalas, and food poster art all take cues from street art and the urban vernacular of modern India.
