I visited this spot with my family the other day, and I had an overall enjoyable experience. Most items were quite good, although there were a few dishes I was slightly disappointed with.
To start, I ordered the salted lassi as my drink, and it was made very well. For appetizers, we ordered the pani puri shots, tandoori momos and crispy chili gobi. I loved the pani puri shots, the pani that they came with was delicious and super flavorful. It also came in the cutest presentation, with the puris sitting on top of shot glasses. The gobi was delicious as well, it was fresh and crispy, coated in a yummy chili sauce. My family and I were not a huge fan of the momos; I didn't get much of a tandoori taste from them, and I was not a huge fan of the veggie filling they came with. For the main dishes, we ordered the old Delhi butter chicken, palak paneer, and baingan ka bhartha. I thought the butter chicken was decent, but not my favorite. The palak paneer was good too, but my favorite was probably the baingan ka bhartha; it was very flavorful and a little smoky. For breads we ordered the garlic naan, which is always yummy, and we tried the laccha parantha. The parantha wasn't bad, but VERY heavy with all the mains, and I was full after eating just one small piece. I would probably just order the naan next time. Lastly, we ordered the dum ki biryani which was served inside a dish that was covered by a flatbread similar to roti. The presentation looked very interesting, and the biryani came out of it piping hot. The biryani itself was very strongly flavoured and had a good amount of spice to it.
I feel I was overall satisfied with my experience at Tamarind. I do think there are a few dishes that can be improved, but most items on the menu were tasty, and the service was good as well.
