Reviews
Tamarind Tribeca makes an excellent first impression. The restaurant is visually grand, with a refined fine-dining ambience, a well-designed interior, and a fully stocked bar with a respectable wine list. Service during our lunch was warm, professional, and attentive throughout. We were seated by the window near the bar, which was a pleasant spot.
Drinks
Raj Royal (Old Fashioned variation): Nicely presented with a rosemary garnish and competently made. Slightly sweeter than I prefer, but acceptable. 5/10
Lychee Martini: Very sweet, with no noticeable pineapple flavor despite it being listed on the menu. Essentially tasted like lychee juice with alcohol. 3/10
Starters
Bhagare Jhinga: Appealing presentation — sautéed shrimp with tomato chutney and a mustard seed–curry leaf tempering. However, the dish lacked basic seasoning, the chutney tasted undercooked, and the shrimp felt underdone and slightly crunchy.
Punjabi Thike Kebab (Chicken Tikka): Bright red in color, suggesting heavy food coloring. The chicken lacked proper marination, was undercooked, chewy, and difficult to cut. Presentation was fine but execution was poor. 2/10
To their credit, the staff promptly replaced this dish with:
Tellicherry Pepper Murgh: A clear improvement. Well plated, properly cooked, and nicely seasoned with a bold black pepper profile and a slight tamarind tang in the sauce. Chicken was tender and flavorful. 7/10
Main Course
Punjabi Kukkad: A standard North Indian chicken curry with onion-ginger-garlic gravy and whole spices. Unfortunately, this felt under-finished — the gravy tasted like a pre-prepared base that wasn’t fully cooked out, and the chicken was again firm and under-seasoned, as if added separately. For such a fundamental dish, this was disappointing. 3/10
Dale-e-Tamarind (Dal Makhani): Somewhat better, but still seemed undercooked. Dal makhani benefits from slow simmering for depth and creaminess, which appeared lacking here. 4/10
Breads
Tandoori Roti & Pudina Paratha: Both were well made. The pudina paratha used dried spearmint, which gives a slightly different flavor than traditional mint — not unpleasant, but unconventional. 7/10
Dessert
Complimentary Pista Kulfi: Pleasant, well portioned, and enjoyable. 7/10
Final Verdict
Tamarind Tribeca excels in ambience and service, and the dining room experience feels premium. However, during this visit the kitchen performance was inconsistent, with several dishes lacking seasoning, depth, or proper doneness — particularly concerning for core North Indian menu items.
A good choice for ambience and drinks, but based on this experience, the food did not match the setting or expectations.
Overall: 3/10 (service and ambience strong; kitchen execution needs improvement).
We ordered the lunch menu which was a 3 course meal with tomato soup, rice, chicken and a veggie side. It was served very well and the seasoning was perfect! We also ordered venison on the side which is an exotic game meat dish, but it was cooked well enough to get rid of the gamey taste.
The service was also swift and detailed. I would recommend everyone to try this place out if you have plans for fine dining in Manhattan.
Nice special allowing variety. We tried most in Executive Lunch menu (both appetizer, all entree except lamb both dessert) plus chicken and extra nan. Was with Indian food novice so good treat.
Starter nice. Shrimp (Tawa Jhinga) appetizer very good. For entree, chicken fish very easy picking. Rice and vegetables add flavors. Smoked mashed eggplant (Baingan Bharta) also nice. Fish and chicken breast tasty, easy for those whose prefererence less spicy. Dessert both not so sweet, subtle.
Glass enclosed open kitchen to see tandoori at work.
High ceiling, good bench tables, bar as well spacious. Good bright decor with silhouette curtains.
Service excellent. Moving table to make way. Initial metal plate then clean bright china plates. Water filled frequently. Checking up making sure. Also language very polite.
Overall pleasant dining experience. Will recommend others.
The service was another highlight. The waitstaff were courteous, attentive, and paced the meal well, making us feel welcomed throughout our visit. The menu is expansive and appears to change frequently, which makes it ideal for repeat visits.
I was initially hoping to try their executive lunch menu so we could sample a wider variety of dishes, but it wasn’t available that day. Instead, we ordered from the main menu and began with the appetizers. The Bataki Kosha – minced duck hand-rolled in a rice crepe – was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The Tellicherry Pepper Murgh, pan-seared chicken bites finished with bold Tellicherry pepper and curry leaves, was equally impressive. Both starters were absolutely delicious and set high expectations for the rest of the meal.
For the mains, we ordered the Vegetable Pulao, Garlic Naan, and Chicken Shahi Korma. The pulao unfortunately was a disappointment, as it had an overpowering amount of turmeric that threw off the balance of the dish. However, the Chicken Shahi Korma was rich, creamy, and well executed, pairing nicely with the fresh and flavorful garlic naan.
To drink, we had a Mango Lassi and a Pomegranate & Ginger mocktail, both of which were refreshing and well made.
Tamarind Tribeca is definitely on the pricier side for Indian cuisine, but given the upscale setting, quality of service, and overall dining experience, it’s not unexpected. Despite the miss with the pulao and the unavailable lunch menu, we truly enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere.
We would definitely revisit when we’re in the area.
Our dinner started off with a pre-appetizer of sorts that was a flaky pastry with tomato and mozzarella in it served with spice yoghurt chutney
We got the Bhurwan Kumbh, which is a stuffed mushroom appetizer. It was a very rich and decadent dish with a savory filling of Paneer, Aloo and Cheese
For mains, we went down the classic road and order Paneer Pasanda, Daal Makhani, Garlic Naan and Laccha Paratha
Every dish was flavorful and the breads were really amazing and fresh
