Tamarind Restaurant in Bristol

Reviews

   Food was great, you have to book for a Fri/Sat night! Lots of flavours & spices that you don’t always get to taste in an Indian elsewhere. Service was very good, although more smiles would be nice. Overall recommend & would book again. Corkage was £1.50 each for corkage & a hefty £7 for 2 pints of coke. Still works out cheaper than buying wine. So pop over to Sainsbury’s or Coop for chilled wine.

   I went with friends to the Tamarind Restaurant and it was a lovely evening out A warm welcome greeted us and we ordered poppadoms as our starter and then an array of different curries. The food was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. It is a bring your own alcohol and the corkage is £2 50 a bottle. We brought some white wine and s wine cooler was provided and the other bottle was put in the fridge. They do serve non alcoholic drinks. The service was excellent and so friendly. It is always a pleasyto come here. Booking is essential as it is so popular o the weekend.

   The food and service were good but be warned, although the window says bring your own alcoholic drinks, which we did - a can of beer and a third of a bottle of wine - we were charged £3 corkage. I do not know of another Indian restaurant that does this. With so many good places around i would have to think twice before returning.

   Abdul and the team at Tamarind are nothing short of fantastic. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is great, and they clearly enjoy what they do as the customer service is top notch. We celebrated my Dad’s birthday there recently and when I asked Abdul if I could decorate the table and bring in a balloon in advance as a surprise, the answer was an instant ‘of course you can!’ We have been coming to Tamarind regularly over the last 20 + years, but I haven’t been for a decade as I moved to Australia. It’s even better than I remember. Highly recommend, can’t wait to come back.

   Staying overnight in Bristol and all restaurants close at 9pm except Tamarind. Was so grateful they were still open when we got there about 9.45pm. All the drinks are non alcoholic, but you can buy and bring your own they will charge you for the use of the glass for around £1.20. I had the lamb cooked with pineapple and lychee with plain butter naan. My partner had lamb sag with pilau rice. The restaurant was empty so our order came very quickly. Freshly cooked and piping hot. The menu list the dishes according to spice level, thank you. This saves me asking the staff and deciding what I can and can't eat. My chosen meal was from the mild section and my partner chose his from the hot section. The restaurant was clean and the staff were polite and welcoming. No complaints, highly recommend.

   Papadums were grilled and sauces very runny as though they were watered down. Ordered two different vegetarian curries and they tasted nearly identical and very average. Also found a random sprout and half a squashed lime in one of the curries. Just weird.

   A lovely meal with great service! They aren't licensed, but they will store any alcoholic drinks in a fridge for you, and there's a Sainsbury's across the way. Their food is amazing, I haven't yet come across anything on their menu that's bad, and there's a wide range of options for various spice tolerances and dietary requirements. Booking is advised!

   My partner and I were recommended to visit the restaurant and we were very impressed with the service, the food and pleasant atmosphere. We regularly eat Indian food and this was one of the best and would definitely go again

   Really nice food but the customer service could have been better. The staff were friendly enough but I felt them lingering around my table a bit too much that I felt rushed to eat so that they could clear my table.
