Yummy yummy Indian food made and served freshly at the most reasonable prices, optimal hygienic conditions and punctual and prompt service too.
Amazing place in London. I love the food. can’t wait to come back here again. Congratulations to the staff.
Tamarind was one of the first Indian restaurant to receive a Michelin star rating. Went their for my partner's birthday.
We ordered a veggie kebab with fig chutney filling as starter which was really good. The spicy outer layer with slightly sweet filling was a pretty good combination.
For the main course we had butter nan with methi makana paneer, which I liked. Though for gravy it had coconut milk, which my partner didn't enjoyed much. The veggie amount was pretty good, easily sharable between 2 ppl.
At the end, they offered a complimentary strawberry birthday cake which was perfect!
Overall a good experience.
Minor complaint: The server removed the starter plate while we were still eating from it. He should have asked.
Finally find an perfect Indian food there, perfect place for Indian food
Peshawari champen and kebab selection are soo delicious and mouth watering the spices engraved in there was too perfect.ghost dum biryani was good
Tamarind is a fairly decent place around Queen Street, Mayfair .
What I liked - Free wifi, delivery and take away options
Specialities :: Lamb cutlets and chops, wine, biryani
The location is off the Main Street. Can we a bit difficult to find. Have been going to this restaurant for over 6 years. Recently they have renovated and changed the menu. The main course and starters are nice but the desserts were awful. It spoilt the entire evening. The waiter did ask us for our comments on the food and after hearing our comments did not do anything except offer an apology. Normally in a restaurant in a posh location like this if the customer is not happy the manager would come up and try to understand what went wrong.
fairly uninspiring looking restaurant from street level, all there is to see is a small reception area. We were warmly greeted here by friendly staff who took our coats and showed us downstairs to the restaurant proper. This was much plusher as would be expected given the area, and the service was very professional. The only minor criticism would be that the seating arrangements were such that it was quite difficult for the waiters to get to certain diners, meaning they had to lean across others. A bit of rearrangement of the furniture would help here. Oddly, although we had booked for a table of four, we were shown to a large round table laid up for five or six, with a couple of place settings being then cleared away, but this left a large gap between two of us

Ideal rating - 3.5 / 5
I wanted to visit an Indian restaurant which has been awarded a Michelin-Star. So during my trip to London. I happen to shortlist this place. I visited here with my father on a weekday evening with prior table booking.
The lady at the reception greeted us with warmth. She took our belongings and kept them in a baggage storage room. Later she directed us to our table. The dining room decor is gold and extravagantly flashy. All in all, the service is okay, quite attentive but fell short of passion at the same time.
Coming to the food, we ordered a Paneer Tikka Masala, Dal Tadka and Garlic Naans. The food was decent, nothing extraordinary about it considering that it was the first Indian restaurant to win a Michelin-Star. For drinks, we had a Virgin Mojito and Cotes du Rhone. Both were good. When it was the time for billing, they charged for one dish incorrectly. After some hassle, they corrected it. Was it a genuine mistake or their new way of overcharging and making money, who knows?
Overall, Tamarind gave us no reasons to return but maybe worth visiting once!
Awesome Experience... Amazing Food... must have food once if anyone loved Indian Cuisine... Enjoyed a lot with family. But Book a table first or you have to wait a long.
One of the best restaurants we've been to. Superb menu, service, taste, portions and atmosphere. The 4 of us came in to try the weekend lunch set menu. Though it was quiet when we came in, it got busy very, very quickly.
The way the weekend set lunch works is you pay the set price per person and they bring out every meal listed on the set menu. Which is a lot of food. It comes to around 4 or 5 courses per person. The food quality and taste were unreal, we had some fussy eaters but everyone had an amazing experience and tried new dishes. Not a single person walked out hungry which is a credit to the chefs.
The venue is easy to reach and find, except there is zero parking nearby. Mostly residents' bays.
Highly recommend for everyone and anyone.
Simply fantastic. The prawn curry was delightful and delicious a simply must try. Where I felt the lunch menu truly excelled though was the chocolate shortbread a real piece of culinary excellent truly deserving of its Michelin star. Truly outstanding food for and great value for money
Amazing food, the best service, and a really nice atmosphere. This restaurant will definitely remain as one of my favorites and as a go to spot in London. Truly the best Indian food I’ve ever eaten - my favorite dishes were the samosas and the naan bread, but everything else was also top notch.
From start to finish, every facet of dining here was magnificent. Let me start with the decor, it was pristine and regal and the waiting staff were very friendly too. They explained us the intricacies of the menu and presented the food in a beautiful way.
Being a connoisseur of Chicken Lollypop, I must say this restaurant offers the best CL (Chicken Lollypop) London can offer. The other dishes were equally gastronomical.
However, I must say the Biryani can be a buzzkill, but my view can be biased because I prefer the South Indian version.
In a city that I’ve never been in love with the cuisine, Tamarind of Mayfair was recommended by a friend and was exceptional. I tend to eat family style (so that I can try a selection of “tastes” and experience a variety of what the restaurant offers) and with the assistance of our server, there wasn’t one dish that I would not reorder.
The vibe, the ambiance, the servers and most importantly the food created a memorable eating experience.
Highlights include Griddled Scottish Scallops, Crispy Lobster, Coconut & Chilli Seabass, Chicken Tikka Hasnu, Tandoori Chicken Wings Lollipop, and Lamb Kakori (and Garlic Naan obviously).
At 9:00 PM it was crowded (always a good sign) and all of the staff were amazing. I’m looking forward to being back in London for the sole purpose of eating at Tamarind of Mayfair.
Delicious one Michelin star experience! The food here was fantastic, the drinks were creative and delicious, and the service was great.
My spouse is Indian and we were both pleasantly surprised with how delicious and authentic the cuisine was, I guess to be expected from a one Michelin star restaurant!
We especially loved the cocktails. One of the cocktails we ordered was fat washed with ghee which lent the drink an incredibly complex flavor profile. We will definitely be back next time we’re in London.
Delicious would be understatement, food is just fantastic. Naan were crisp you can just eat them no curries required. After ages I had such juicy and flavourful prawn. Biryani was too rich.
So if you are two, take 1 starter and 1 main since the food is quite filling.
Mutton seekh & chicken tikka were made to perfection.
Cocktails can be avoided, go for straight drinks. I ordered gin based cocktail it was way sweet to my liking. I requested to change it, which they did.
One of the Best Indian restaurants I have been to earns a Michelin star wonderful atmosphere chilled in a lovely part of London. We had the tasting menu (well priced) which was a series of surprises one after the next a festival of infused flavours fresh & ingredients & rich spices ! Recommend highly !!
We went for the tasting menu with wine pairing and everything was delicious. The portions are surprisingly large for a fine dining restaurant, it wasn’t easy to finish the full menu. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. Make sure to visit the kitchen in the basement, it’s fun to see how naan is made in the tandoori oven. The freshly made garlic naan right from the oven was the unexpected highlight of our visit.
Was looking for a great Indian restaurant and landed on this. We were definitely not disappointed! Great atmosphere, exceptional food, and wonderful experience. We tried the tasting menu, both meat and vegetarian, and were not disappointed by any dish. Every one was singularly incredible with an array and explosion of flavor. Tried the wine pairing to go with and was very pleased with how each one complimented the dish. Definitely a great value and experience!
