I love Tamarind! Aside from food itself, I love two things about them: 1) They don't have a TV in their restaurant. I never understood why Indian restaurants feel the need to play music videos on a TV while people want to spend time being together and looking at each other's face and NOT A TV. If you want to watch a TV while having food, you order take out! Isn't that obvious?? So, it gives you a good dining out vibe that most Indian restaurants in Pittsburgh do not. 2) I love the dining area. It is bright and it feels spacious enough. Again, most of the Indian buffets in Pittsburgh have dark dining rooms with small windows and little light.
And the food: Always consistent and tasty. I love all their vegetarian items. I just feel like their chicken tikka masala could have a more solid sauce, it is too watery for my liking and compared to what I have seen in other Indian restaurant. Otherwise, will definitely return while still in Pittsburgh!
