The writer notes that the glassed-in tandoori kitchen affords diners an opportunity to watch the chefs at work. "And just about anything that comes out of these ovens is spectacular." "There are a number of vegetarian options, including the Raji thali dish which includes lentils, vegetables, chutneys and relishes. "Service is efficient and friendly, and the owners will most likely stop by your table and greet you like a regular."

"Tamarind, a favorite New York Indian restaurant."
"A truly original and creative spot in the Flatiron District."
"Our favorite starter is an Indian snack food called bhel poori, crispy noodles seasoned with sweet and sour chutneys. We usually order two seafood starters Raji's scallops and Raji's Shrimp Balchau, and have to restrain ourselves from also ordering the spicy potato cakes called aloo tikkiyas." "As Indian restaurants go, the wine list is superior."

The perfect lunch special -Tamarind - Alleen
"Two things I love about Tamarind, besides the food, are location and decor.
The food is traditional Indian, but the decor is modern and elegant. I have been to Tamarind three times, and all three times were for the un-beatable Lunch Prix Fixe. Tamarind offers one fire sale of a lunch special...At 24.07."
