We’re lucky because this is the only neighborhood bar/restaurant in which to get a drink, but it’s also wonderful! It has a great cocktail menu and a bar for sitting outside and watching the weirdos go by. The Indian food is fresh and delicious, from the extensive appetizers to full meals!

Visiting from out of town, and was looking for a nice spot to dine with my partner, who is taking classes at Berkeley. I had previously ordered her takeout from Tigerlily via a delivery service and loved the menu. Our dine-in experience was outstanding. The environment is great, our service was great, and the food was the best I’ve had yet in the Berkeley area. We had the veggie samosas (which were so good we followed up with a samosa chile order), and also shared a chicken vindaloo and palak paneer. Portions were great. Flavors in all sauces and spices were outstanding and complimentary. The samosas were perfection. We also ordered cocktails that were delicious. Would recommend to anyone dining in the Bay Area

The atmosphere and service was good however the food was not something we liked. We ordered Malai Kofta, Paneer Tikka and Egg/Dhal Kofta. Malai Kofta was not right and instead it was Dhal kofta. I feel the food is not authentic to the Indian Spices and is just based creamy sauce.
The other is the Gratuity. We were charged 18% Gratuity for family of 4. This was not a large group and this was highly unexpected and unfair. I don't mind giving a tip at all, but for a smaller group it should be left to the customers.
Not sounding too negative, this is something I didn't personally like.

Food ranged from good to excellent, but the cocktails were the real star of the show. The drinks menu was extensive, and we enjoyed each one we tried (their namesake, the Tigerlily, was a standout). The fresh fruit is a decadent touch to the very flirty, very sweet cocktails.
The fried chicken was exceptional, with an interesting take on mashed potatoes underneath — very hearty and filling. The coconut curry chicken was also excellent, though the naan was unusually thick and dry.
We also had the beet salad, which was delicious except for the avocados — they were so unripe that I couldn’t cut them with my fork and knife. Not exactly sure how they ended up on a plate and served, but the service was somewhat spotty so we couldn’t send them back before our entrees arrived — not the end of the world, since the beets and paneer were still good.
Overall, the food was good enough to warrant a return visit sometime, and the vibe was sophisticated (if not a bit sports-bar-y in the front). Great for a date night or a special catch-up with friends.
Parking: Parking takes a minute; be sure to allow yourself an extra 5 mins or so to find somewhere around the corner, if not on Shattuck.

Can't believe I didn't discover this place sooner! Been living in Berkeley for over a year and stopped by tonight for the first time. Had the most delectable samosas - what an explosion of flavor. The sauces were divine. And the cucumber cocktail had the perfect balance of sweet & spice. What a gem of a spot!!

Tiger Lily is pretty good. When it started it was pretty good. It went through a period where the cleanliness slipped a lot, and I was almost on the verge of not going there anymore. But it seems like somebody has figured out that they need a bit more attention to detail. The last two times I've been there it is acceptably clean again. The food is still good.
