Tamarind is not only the best Indian cuisine in New York, but one of the best restaurants in all of the city. Very lovely atmosphere and incredibly attentive service. What is wonderful too is that you could blindly point at any single item on the menu and it would most likely be excellent. If you are able, reserve a cozy booth in the back of the restaurant, which is very romantic. Avoid eating up front where the noise level is high.
Pros: Best Indian in Manhattan
Cons: a little loud up front, more quiet in the back
