• 9/15/24Everything was delicious. My fiancé loved his Meat Thali . The Garlic Naan was the best I've ever had, and the Butter Chicken was perfect. My fiancé suggested we get the Pani Puri (8) from his previous experience at Tamarind, and it was SO GOOD-- perfect combination of spicy, sweet, and tangy. Speaking of sweet, the Mango Lassi was very good also. I think overall my favorite part was the Rice Pudding. It has more of a cardamom forward flavor, rather than cinnamon, but I'm here for it. We were very impressed and we're adding Tamarind to our usual rotation.

• 2/29/24Tamarind never disappoints! As always, the food was perfect. The Samosa (3) are a favorite, crisp on the outside, and filled with deliciousness inside. The Chicken Biryani was amazing, and the portion generous enough for two. If you haven't tried the Garlic Naan , then do it. So good!

• 12/30/22This is my favorite Indian spot. My fiancé and I love the chicken dosa, papdi chaat and the Chicken Biryani. The dosa is better eaten fresh at the restaurant imo, but the other two are great for takeout. I moved to another state and have tried biryani from probaby over half a dozen restaurants, and haven't found any as good as Tamarind's, so I try to get it whenever I'm in town visiting!

• 6/9/22Food was good but portions were kinda small for the price. The dabeli was spicy n sweet, like an Indian sloppy joe. Vegetable biryani was flavorful and aromatic. Butter chicken was ok, not the best I've had.

• 9/10/23Fairly good food. I had the Eggplant Masala and it was delicious, not spicy at all. Also got the Samosa Chaat which was very good. I took off a star for the Dosa Classic. It was cold and kind of gummy, but tasty nonetheless. I've had dosas at other restaurants that were larger, crispier and warm. Overall I would eat here again. Especially because they mark their menu with which dishes are gluten free. Very helpful for Celiacs! Thank you.
