Excellent all round. Quality food and wonderful service. The lunch set is a must try, a sample of all the good things from this restaurant. Every item was prepared to perfection. The chicken was so tender. The lentils were hearty and tasty with just enough spice. Both and roti and naan were warm and fresh, and not too stodgy. We ordered a vegetarian set and a chicken set so we could swap some items. It was perfect. I’ll definitely be back for the dinner service.

Great food, great atmosphere, would recommend it. Service could be better. I was seated promptly, but did not get a server or water for first 10 minutes. But food was ‘happy’ feeling food. I recommend it if you are looking for good genuine Indian food! I had vegetarian and it was great.

We went there on a Tuesday for an early dinner and oh boy were we in for a treat. Our server Jay took care of us from we sat down until we left. The food, the ambiance, the service were all top notch. The restaurant was very clean which always a plus. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed. Looking forward to visiting again next time we are in the area.

This is a must visit location. My family and I totally enjoyed it. The Customer service was world class.
The food was exceptional. Everyone enjoyed their orders. I truly can’t say enough about our server. Unfortunately, I didn’t get her name but she was a slim, young, African American woman with very long hair. All I can day is she has mastered the art of customer service.
Definitely planning to go back. The ambiance was also very eye catching.

Yes, it was busy. That’s expected on Valentine’s Day. What surprised me was how rude some guests were to someone who was clearly working nonstop.
Our server (the slim young woman in our section) was kind, professional, and kept coming back to our table apologizing for the wait and checking on us. You could tell she was overwhelmed but still trying her best with everyone.
What really bothered me was the table next to us. They literally took their own utensils off the table just so they could complain about not having any. It was obvious they were looking for something to be upset about. Watching that happen was uncomfortable and unfair to her.
We were actually waiting for someone to point out the utensil situation so we could speak up, because the complaints around us felt exaggerated and unnecessary.
On top of that, the food was exceptional. Everything we had was delicious, and the lobster especially was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. You could tell the kitchen put real effort into the dishes.
People forget servers are human. Valentine’s Day is chaos in every restaurant. Delays happen. That doesn’t give anyone the right to treat staff badly.
Our experience with her was positive. She stayed calm, polite, and professional the entire night even while dealing with guests who clearly weren’t.
If anything, she deserves credit for keeping her composure under pressure.

This Indian restaurant was an amazing experience. Our waitress was so sweet and helpful with all of our questions, with great recommendations. We got a delicious sweet potato appetizer and kale/goat cheese kulcha with kofta and korma entree dishes, which were all beautifully flavored and well executed. The portions were generous and the prices were reasonable. The ambiance was also very nice! We will be coming back and 100% recommending to others! Thank you for a wonderful dinner and experience.

Great food, pretty inside, music is pleasant & not too loud, we asked for the food to be spicy but it wasn’t so that’s the only thing. We ordered bullet chili kebab, chili garlic fried rice, and tikka masala. All delicious, didn’t take too long either

We recently ate here when we were in the mood for Indian food. Wow….we were surprised and delighted!! Wonderful menu with many choices, but not overwhelming. The food was delicious and amazing!!! Some if the best, most unique Indian cuisine we have ever had. Great value as the portions were generous and me yr prices reasonable (even in Dec 2025’s high inflationary environment). And the service and wait staff was excellent. Everyone we encountered seemed to be striving to make sure our meal and experience was great. The physical space was beautiful with unique design and decorations, ample seating capacity, and not too noisy. Overall, definitely a cool vibe. Clearly this is a well run establishment that takes providing and excellent meal and service seriously. Job well done!! We will definitely be back with friends and family and are putting this on our Go To list of favorite Indian restaurants.

First time at Tamarind and we loved it! The atmosphere is beautiful and our server, Aman, gave great recommendations and was very attentive and kind. My fiancé ordered the Goat Beli Rum (per Aman’s suggestion) and absolutely loved it, and I had the Teen Mirch Ka Paneer which was amazing. Both dishes were full of flavor and really stood out. I’m a vegetarian and of course there’s a ton of options. If you’re looking for elevated Indian cuisine, this is the spot. Definitely adding Tamarind to our regular restaurant rotation!
