The online menu lists prices. However those prices are only for cash. It doesn't say that. When we went there and wanted to pay with a credit card we were charged a significant increase! If the online menu had said that we would have brought enough cash. Manager waa VERY unfriendly

As someone who is an avid restaurant goer, I can honestly say that Tamarind is one of our favorite restaurants by far! The food has always been exceptional, the staff very friendly and accommodating, and they have always been able to tend our specific needs. It is one of the few places where we can honestly say we have had an excellent meal every time we go, hence it is one of our go to spots! Whether you like dining and in or simply ordering take-out, Tamarind will guarantee...

I am visiting from Florida and love Indian cuisine. We found Tamarind and had a great meal. The menu offer a variety of excellent dishes I have never seen on another menu. The waitress Ash and the owner took the time to explain many dishes and region they were from. I had a shrimp dish with coconut milk that was excellent. The naan was the best I have ever tried and the noodle dish was also great.
