Indian buffets are hard to find these days, and Tamarind does a great lunch buffet for $19. Loved the chicken tikka masala and saag.

It’s so beautifully lit inside, they always have an eye on your water so your throat never runs dry. The owner was very nice and friendly, checked on us and explained the food and flavors! It’s so good I definitely recommend!

Been coming here for 14yrs, one of my favorite Indian/Pakistani restaurants. When you walk in you’ll see no customers, don’t leave. The service isn’t the best but the food makes up for it. Ordered the chicken Tika Marsala, a favorite for sure. Rich sauce and smooth. Normally the chicken is very tender and that would get a 8.3/10, but today it lacked a little so 7.6/10. The portion has gotten smaller so that was disappointing. Ordered the karahi fish, this is the highlight dish, the flavors were plenty, cooked well, this is a strong 8.9/10. You have to order the rice separately, you get a big portion 7.2/10. Get the garlic naan, you need the garlic naan 9.6/10. The samosas were just ok 6.1/10. The water is tap, the location is clean but the service is weird. The owner will sit in the room facing you and are slow but the food is good. I would go back again.

The lunch buffet special is really worth it! The food is delicious, and the staff kept asking if I needed more water and made sure the table was always clean. I really like this place, and I’ll definitely come back again!

Tamarind Restaurant Is a Flavor Bomb You Didn’t Know You Needed
Ever had a meal that made you pause mid-bite just to appreciate what’s happening in your mouth? That was us at Tamarind.
That’s the kind of magic Tamarind delivers.
The second you walk in, the vibe hits you. Not too fancy, not too casual, just the perfect balance. Think family dinner meets upscale comfort. You’re greeted right away by warm smiles and soft voices, and if it’s your first time, they’ll walk you through everything like you’re already part of the crew.
And here’s what really shocked me, the actual cooks came out to check on us, brought dishes themselves, and asked for our feedback. When was the last time that happened? That level of care and pride says everything about this place.
Here’s what we tried, and trust me, every bite was a mic drop:
Chicken Tikka Masala – I could write a love letter to this dish. The chicken was so tender it practically melted. I’m super picky with texture and this one hit all the right notes, no chew, no dryness, just buttery, flavorful bliss.
Vegetable Samosas – Legit took me back to when I lived abroad in India and Pakistan. Crispy on the outside, warm and perfectly spiced on the inside.
Beef Kebab – Didn’t think onions could elevate a dish like this, but wow. The flavor combo was out of this world.
Garlic Naan – Soft, warm, a little crispy on the edge. You’ll use it to scoop up every last bit of sauce, and then wish you had more.
Mango Lassi – Ordered one to try, got another to go, and let’s just say it didn’t survive the drive home. That sweet creamy mango flavor? Addictive.
The service? Next level. Friendly, attentive, and fast, but never rushed. You feel like you’re in someone’s home, and they’re proud to feed you.
And the price? We ordered enough food for a feast: seven dishes, four drinks, and extras to go, all under $80. If you’ve got a big appetite or a big family, this place is unbeatable.
It feels like a family run restaurant with heart. And based on the flavor and energy, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve been perfecting these recipes for generations.
If you’re anywhere near Chino or Chino Hills and haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out. Don’t just go, make it a regular spot. Your tastebuds will thank you. Your wallet will too.
Q: What should you absolutely not skip?
A: Like many others mentioned in their reviews, the Chicken Tikka Masala is legendary, and yes, we tried it. That chicken? It was so tender it practically fell apart with a nudge of the fork. No chewy nonsense. Just melt in your mouth magic.
We also had the Vegetable Samosas, and they were exactly like what I used to eat abroad in India and Pakistan. Perfectly crisp on the outside with a warm, spiced filling that took me straight back in time. And don’t sleep on the Beef Kebab. That thing was fire. The onions pulled it all together like some kind of flavor glue.
The Garlic Naan? Oh man. Divine. Slight crisp, fluffy inside, perfect for scooping every drop of that masala. Other reviews mentioned the Palak Paneer and Karahi Chicken as top tier, we didn’t get to those this time but trust, they’re on our list for next visit.
And let’s talk drinks. That Mango Lassi? We bought one to go and promised we wouldn’t touch it till tomorrow. It didn’t make it past the driveway. Zero regrets.
Q: What’s the vibe like?
A: Feels like a big family gathering. The place oozes warmth. Staff is kind, polite, and really cares about the experience. You can tell it’s a family run operation, from the uncles to the cousins, everyone pitches in and brings that home cooked energy.
inal Verdict: If you’re in Chino or even remotely close, you owe it to yourself to hit up Tamarind Restaurant and Catering. This is easily one of the best Pakistani Indian spots in Southern California. Authentic flavors, insane value (we got seven dishes and four drinks for under $80), and unforgettable hospitality. Run, don’t walk.
Now go get that naan and tikka masala, and tell them the internet sent you.

We were greeted with a smile and seated quickly, which was nice. But cleanliness needs serious improvement — the first water glass had a hair in it, and the second one had dust stuck to it. One of the plates even had a food stain. When we asked for new ones, the owner didn’t seem too happy about it.The food was quite disappointing. Only the naan, mutton, baingan bharta, and kheer were decent. Everything else was bland, the rice was undercooked, and the chicken tasted a bit stale. For $18.99 plus tax, the buffet variety and quality were well below expectations.The two-person table we got was small and a bit tilted, and when we asked to shift to a bigger one, the owner was hesitant even though several tables were empty.Overall, polite service but poor cleanliness, limited choices, and bland food made this a disappointing experience.

This is a very nice Pakistani restaurant in Chino Hills. I really like the inside and the service. As for the food, it is very good and flavorful! I had the tandoori lamb chops with roti, which were pretty great! I’m giving them 4 stars for food because for $20, you only get 3-4 slides of lamb, which is not a lot of food. But otherwise, the food is great. Give them a shot

I recently visited Tamarind Restaurant to enjoy some Desi food. The place is small but has a nice ambiance, and they offer a buffet with a variety of Desi dishes. Unfortunately, my experience was marred by the service. The staff, including the managers, seemed more focused on their own conversations than on attending to customers. The person who took my order appeared to be the owner but came across as somewhat arrogant and lacking courtesy. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

We came for a late dinner and so thankful they took us in at 8:15pm. We were the only ones and seated right away. They have us water and menus to review. I got the Chicken Saag and my husband got the Chicken Korma. We also ordered Samosas and Garlic Naan bread. We forgot to order rice and the host was so nice to ask a few minutes later if we wanted to add it. The portions are huge! You can get away with sharing just 1 dish to be honest. Make sure to order 2 orders of bread. We were sad it was soo good that we regretted not ordering more. The Chicken Saag was so creamy and tasted like mashed lentils. Yum! The Chicken Korma had more of a little kick and was very rich in sauce. The samosas had the most spicy flavors so have water handy! There wasn’t any music playing but I wonder if it was because it was close to closing time. I personally didn’t care it was really nice to have some quiet. Overall this place was fantastic. Give it a shot! 🙂
