This was my first experience eating genuine Indian food. The setting is understated and calming so that it does not distract from the dining experience. The music in the backgroun...

same old Indian with a new veneer 3/19/2003

To come clean - I dined only in the next door Tea Room as the main dining room was full at the time. The tea room is an intimate, spill over area. The tea wasn't much good, the menu and the food was pretty much the same as the $5 curry row fare and the waiter need constant prodding. If I need a cheap curry fix, I won't be returning. Pros: sophisticated Cons: price, so-so food more

Service was just horrible 3/15/2003

We sat at the bar to try out a couple of snacks and have drinks - if we liked it we thought we'd get a table. We never got around to the table - we were treated so shabbily and insultingly by the bartender we ended up leaving. What is with this place? Pros: Nice decor, Good drink list Cons: Service more

Rudest staff in NY 2/2/2003

I don't care how great the food is. We were treated in a completely unacceptable fashion. Went during rest week, even took time off work for it. Arrived just a hair past 3:00 for reservation at same time only to be told that kitchen had closed. ""We have your reservation but too bad"", essentially. They tried to throw us into the empty, closed tea bar. The hostess and mgr said that we had arrived at 3:05 - too late. They offered the regular menu at regular price, and then said that only two of four restaurant week menu items were available. THEN the waiters chided us for arriving at 3:05. We left and will NEVER ever go back. more

Great Food, Long Waits 1/30/2003

The food is fantastic at Tamarind. Unfortunately, even with reservations, we waited 1 HOUR last Saturday night. The hostesses beamed vacous smiles at us whenever we enquired about our table.. they're useless. Our waiter was an airhead, but the food is magnificent, nonetheless. Just don't go there on Friday or Saturday night during any reasonable dining hours. more

Tragedy! 5/22/2002

Charming settings embraced us. We were regaled by the shimmer of the lamps. Alas! Only if would have translated similarly into the food and service. They were poor at best. Cold food served in dirty plates. Waiters seemed to care little about how we felt. Managers seemed oblivious to the guests, they were picking their noses even as we were eyeing for their attention. Tamarind could have been great. But it was sadly far from that. Pros: Pretty Space Cons: Poor Service, Cold, Tasteless Food, Reservation Not Honor more
