Tamarind

Tamarind Review

Many consider Tamarind Manhattan's best Indian restaurant. Forsaking the usual brass, beads, sitar, and darkness, you'll find a lustrous skylighted dining room awash in soothing neutral colors and awaft with tantalizing fragrances. Your welcoming hosts, owner Avtar Walia and his nephew, general manager Gary, practically reinvent charm. The busy kitchen offers multiregional dishes, some familiar (tandoori chicken, a searing lamb vindaloo), some unique (succulent venison chops in a vigorously spiced cranberry sauce, she-crab soup with saffron, nutmeg, and ginger juice). The more intriguing a dish sounds, the better it turns out to be.

    Over the years, I have had six or seven dinners at this wonderful (classic) Indian restaurant. The place is lovely - very modern - and the service is friendly/helpful. The chicken tikka masala is always great. Tandor oven items are special. Appetizers are excellent especially the cauliflower dishes we had last visit.I love this place.
