| - I love Tremont, but the one complaint I have is that there isn't a whole lot of variety in the restaurants. Lots of typical american food, and your "ethnic" options are Barrio and Ginko. Tandul is an extremely welcome change.
The design choices really work in setting a nice atmosphere. The lights, serving bowls, and bar area all work together to make the aesthetic really work. It doesn't feel like it was just renovated, it feels like it's been there forever. Andrei (the main server) is quick to greet you and makes a real effort to learn your name. He welcomes any kind of feedback, from their unique cocktails (like an Indian take on the margarita) to the menu layout.
I've been there 3 times since they've opened, and have been trying to get different things each time. Each variety of naan I've gotten has been excellent, as well as all the main dishes. The servings are a decent size, and they're priced pretty well in line with the rest of Tremont.
If I had to offer criticisms, it would be 2 things:
1) Very little seating, and most of it for 2. They can maybe hold 40 people.
2) Not a lot of rice served with the meal when you have 2 people dining. I've had to ask for additional rice each time, but they've been happy to do so.
So, give the burgers and pizza a rest. Try some real, good indian food. You won't regret it.
