  • Oh Tamarind. This place has been on my radar for a while. Despite being a meat-lover, I'm a firm believer that flavour can come from a lot of different places and vegetarian food, especially tofu, can be done right if done carefully. Tamarind is a small restaurant at the foot of a condo building on 10st SW. My first impression upon walking in was that it really reminds me of Asia - with the cramped kitchen and the fact it looks like a family run joint. They keep track of orders on a modified excel sheet and there are probably only 5 tables. By posh Canadian Standards, the cramped kitchen probably doesn't instill much confidence in cleanliness, but the quality of the food definitely speaks for itself. If one adjusts one's mindset to "stepping into a small hole in the wall joint in Asia", you can really have a good time. I tried their tofu Rolls (tofu wrapped in some sort to leaf, I had no idea what it was) as well as their crispy wontons for starters. The tofu rolls were pretty interesting and had a pretty decent flavour. The Crispy wontons were nothing special and were served with sweet chili sauce (definitely from a bottle). The main dishes were little more interesting. Between the three of us we tried the Tofu Curry, sizzling rice stir fry, and the curry noodle soup. I thought the tofu curry was the stand-out. The texture of the tofu and the deep rich flavour of the curry absolutely made this vegetarian dish interesting and vibrant. The hot plate sizzling rice had an interesting flavour as well, though it lacked the depth of the curry. The curry soup was a bit of a mixed bag. the Broth was thin, which is as one would expect, but I felt that because of that the depth and richness of the curry flavours didn't come through as much as they could have. Similarly, the thin rice noodles used had a tendency to fall apart and were not super satisfying. The various tofu products in the soup were great though, including the "mock meat", and overall it was a pretty decent bowl. Given that it's a vegetarian option, I thought that the menu was pretty robust and offered a fair bit of flavour. At it's approachable price point, this is a pretty good choice for vegetarian fare and I would come visit again.
