AmateurConciergeJuly 30, 2015Easily the best Indian in NYC: fantastic staff, elegant decor, diverse Indian cuisine done perfectly (skip goat), great cocktails (marg!), reasonably priced...all you could ask for from Indian food
Douglas EllimanAugust 7, 2014An elegant and upscale Indian kitchen, with a gorgeous décor and a menu that offers a modern spin on Indian cuisine. We highly recommend ordering the chicken tikki masala.- SAADSeptember 14, 2022The Butter Naan is the softest naan I’ve ever tasted in years .. it’s so good! Try Bataki Kosha, Chicken Tikka Masala and Goat Biryani! Definitely the best Indian restaurant in NYC.
Upvoted Feb 9 - EaterJanuary 7, 2014Head to this Michelin-starred Tribeca restaurant to sample dishes from all across India, in a comfortable, and ever-so-slightly elegant setting. [Eater 38 Member]
HolidayOctober 31, 2015Have to say it was an impeccable lunch - food, service. Well worth indulging in a 4course lunch and the $25 price. I will be back to imbibe on cocktails with dinner next time.
Travel + LeisureApril 11, 2013An outpost of a Flatiron district restaurant by the same name. Try the chicken tikka masala: tandoori chicken tikka in a creamy tomato and fenugreek sauce.
Apurva LimayeSeptember 29, 2014Chicken kolhapuri will take you right back to India! Try lachha paratha with some amazing mango lassi. This lassi is different than what you get in many American Indian restaurants in NYC!- Rewan PartiNovember 11, 2015Excellent India food from this Michelin star. Order the lamb chops, chicken tikka masala and okra. Make sure you have a reservation. Do try the truffle naan.
Natasha TaylorDecember 10, 2012Lovely decor. Got the executive lunch. Great deal for a lot of food; the lamb curry dish was a little bland for my taste. But high marks for a tasty tandoori salmon and excellent customer service!
Frank RimalovskiAugust 4, 2017Everything on the mixed grill plate was super delicious. The chili crab appetizer was amazing! Chicken tikka masala was overhyped by other reviews IMHO.
Antonio PoloniAugust 17, 2014I always agreed the best Indian restaurants are to be found in London. But Tamarind NYC represents an exception: try it if you have a chance!
Lori LuoSeptember 7, 2014Try the Nizami Keema as an appetizer, and the Lamb Vindaloo for a main. Note that naan and rice must be ordered separately.
The Chicken Tikka Masala is just beautifully delicious. A lot of care goes into the food and the experience.
Aleah NicholeAugust 12, 2017Wonderful service! Amritsari seekh (marinated cheese), bhagarey baigan (Japanese eggplant), Gulab Jamun (milk pastry) for dessert, for delicious vegetarian options 🙃
Dr FoodieMay 14, 2016Undoubtedly the best Indian restaurant in NYC 🗽👌🏼 lentil soup, grilled lamb chops, green chicken tikka, and shrimp masala 🍤
Raj S.February 17, 2012Bhoj Puri Samosa. Paneer Akbari. Murg Malai Kabob (one of the best pieces of chicken you will ever eat). Punjabi Tikhe Kabob. Channa Masala. Shahi Paneer (great sweet/spicy red curry sauce). So good.
Tina JainJuly 27, 2014Haven't even finished my meal but felt compelled to leave a tip - this place is in "Where Chefs Eat" and I can see why. Authentic Indian cuisine and service to match, love it!
Morgan McKeeNovember 15, 2018Not an Indian food fan typically but loved this. Grilled shrimp special to start with murgh lazeez (recommended ground chicken dish) and chicken rice. Ordered WAY too much. Stick to one app and entree
Kirsten AlanaFebruary 26, 2015Superb Indian food, definitely with an American twist. But worth the price & then some. If you can't get to India or Brick Lane in London, come to Tamarind.
Andy ChapmanMay 10, 2016Monsoon cocktail, Chicken tikka masala, lamb milagu curry, order of lemon rice and nan. Wash if with some big Taj Mahal beers and you're good to go.- Leemor YuravlivkerAugust 22, 2018Went for restaurant week 2018, and it was a pretty great deal. The halibut was awesome. Beware that chai tea is $7 :/
Mayank MahajanJuly 23, 2017The mixed grill and chicken tikka are to die for. Tamarind margarita is refreshing and not too sweet. Amazing service and decor as well.
Namitta ShankarJune 27, 2012Dal- fantastic, paneer tikka masala- ok, appetizer w/ beet root and lotus chips - fabulous. Menu has No Indian beverages, ordered mango lassi off the menu- pretty good… (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Elizabeth BursteinAugust 8, 2019Lunch special so good - had the chicken, rose ice cream, crab app, and broccoli
Paul GernayNovember 3, 2018Good vegetarian selection and nice wine pairing. Super nice place and great service.
Dalia AbdulkaderAugust 9, 2019The food and service was excellent! The only downside is that children are not allowed and it hasn’t been mentioned via open table booking.
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014Tamarind Tribeca is like an upscale Indian Shopsin's, with a sprawling menu that offers regional dishes from every part of the subcontinent. Read more
Diego 🇨🇴 PulidoAugust 22, 2015Order the Mushroom & Truffle Oil naan... And don't miss out on the Chana Pindi: it's like Chana Masala... (but much better!)
The Corcoran GroupOctober 11, 2011Very elegant and luxurious Indian restaurant with spectacular food and large portions. Try the Murg Malai Kabab, Punjabi Tikhe Kabab and a Tamarind Margarita.
Patricia SireraJuly 12, 2015The most authentic Indian food in town and amazing service + serving. The owner and the people working in Tamarind are just TOP TEN!
Odile RoujolNovember 12, 2023The classics . Chicken massala . Try the nana with mushrooms and truffle
Michelin Travel & LifestyleDecember 2, 2013Curries are phenomenal. Get kolambi pola, fiery red vindaloo, venison chops, nargisi kofta, & broccoli-cheese naan. – Green Guide Editor
Esther EstebanOctober 1, 201610 out of 10. Good food, nice staff, cute place. Everything in the menu is tasty. Chicken Masala: a must.
Michael MuseDecember 14, 2014Fancy Indian spot. My favorite thing is the Lasooni Gobi - an appetizer of spicy tomato/garlic cauliflower.
Halstead PropertySeptember 29, 2011Upscale authentic Indian cuisine at its best. If you hold very high standards for delicious naan, you must try theirs; not in the least bit overly crispy or buttery
Jasmine MehrabiJanuary 13, 2022The Palaak Chaat app is so good (and I love chaat masala). Dishes were good but chaat stood out the most.
Best Indian food in NYC. Love the chana pindi (chickpeas) as well as the cauliflower appetizer.
Mike McBryanNovember 5, 2014Find a reason to go on the expense account. Great food, great wine, great atmosphere - but be prepared for the check.
Seline JungMay 27, 2015No need to come to a place this high-end and pricey for Indian food. Dishes were good enough but you're in NYC! So many cheaper, more delish options.
Lauren DocktorJune 10, 2011AMAZING meal. Everything is great so its fun to order a bunch of apps, entrees and share everything. Coconut shrimp, apple cider chicken app, and lychee martini!!
Matt www.Travelyaps.comJuly 6, 2013Just recently started eating Indian food and wow this place is off the chain. Definitely a place to be seen at too.
Order the lasuni gobi - cauliflower fried with tomato and ginger. It's not on the menu but it's my favorite thing here
- Wendy QiuJanuary 26, 2015Fanciest Indian restaurant ever. Come here for the lunch menu 25 bucks for app, entree, and dessert.
YazeedDecember 25, 2018Place is nice, food is good. I ordered chicken takka masala and veggie briani
Quan NguyenOctober 7, 2016Amazing dishes all around and exceptional service. Quite possibly the best lamb chop I've ever had.

"Classic New York City tavern serving surprisingly good Italian sandwiches during lunch – try the Gladiatore or the Sofia. Add a beer for $3 or $4 and enjoy lunch all the more!"
The Corcoran Group - 8.7
"Laid back cocktail bar with unpretentious service. I especially enjoyed the Rust Belt (their version of an old-fashioned) and the Poets Dream (their take on a gin martini)."
