Tamarind reviews



I found this restaurant absolutely wonderful. The staff and service were impeccable, and the taste of the food was like having a party in your mouth! First class. Would definitely recommend to all. The ambience was great too, though the ladies loos could have been a touch nicer.

My boyfriend took me here for Valentine's Day. It was amazing! The service was great and the food was mouthwatering. The best restaurant in London!

The service was excellent, but prices were high and the food was distinctly average.

One of my favourite Indian restaurants in London. I've been going there since long before they got the Michelin and they have always been great. Delicately spiced food, warm and friendly service - what more could you ask for?

This is as good as it gets! If you expect to get the same as at your local curry place, don't go to Tamarind. The food is extraordinary and very authentic. Each dish seasoned to perfection. I will definitely go back.

This just doesn't feel like Indian food at all. You can't share dishes which is the only way to eat Indian, in my opinion. It is too fussy and too westernised. The restaurant feels stuffy. Service was great though.

I am a Canadian who has been travelling regularly to India since 1949. I rarely eat Indian food in the UK because of past disappointments and shock at the prices. Certainly the prices at Tamarind are high, but worth every penny. It was one of the best Indian meals I have eaten: beautifully seasoned and balanced to bring out all the flavours. I appreciated the way the food was served leaving the individual dishes on the table for us to serve ourselves. My only gripe is that our table was a little on the small side.

It would be average. But since they have a Michelin star it is poor. The food mediocre. The price ridiculous. Wine sommelier does not know what he is doing.

I would never go again. Place itself nothing out of this world. Touristy types. They want to get you in and out with their choices etc.

If you've not been to Benares, then Tamarind would seem head and shoulders better than other Indian restaurants. But having been to both Tamarind and Benares in the space of a week, it surprised me that Tamarind has a michelin star. Nice food, with great flavours, but it lacks style somehow and the decor all felt a little grubby and dingy.

Being Indian I am qualified to say that very few of the items they offer here are authentic in nature and the unremitting urge in this restaurant to fuse Western tastes with those of the East has succeeded in creating a menu that has forgotten its roots. Better to make friends with true Indians who will cook you a meal at home.

Out of this world Indian cuisine. If you haven't eaten somewhere like this (and there are very few Indian restaurants at this level) you should try it to discover how delicious and beautifully presented Indian food can be.

The service and design are great and I can't wait to go back here.
