| - In a word, wow! We were seated right away and the service was stellar right from the get go. We ordered a combo platter called the Pikor Trio, and all three items were delicious, but back to the service for now. Our hostess also doubled as our waitress, so she immediately knew we needed service and got to us quickly. We got our drink orders right away. Our appetizer came in about ten minutes, which is rather quick judging by the standard of my experience. Another ten minutes and our main course was out. I had the prawn malai, and it was fantastic. My fiancee had dahl, which she said was good for dahl. I'd have cleaned my plate if it wasn't so filling. This may have been a function of the amount of naan we got. We asked for four orders of naan between the two of us, because we are accustomed to relatively small portions at Green Chili, another nice Indian place. The portions at Tamarind are so generous that we thought they had accidentally brought us eight, and their naan is to die for! The decor was breathtaking. There was impressive brick work on the walls, chandeliers with patterned metal shades, a giant Buddha and high ceilings. It's typical of what you might find at a far more expensive place. So with this raving review, why did I only give four stars? Well because I couldn't wait to get out of there, and neither could my fiancee. They had some sort of problem with their heat system and the entire time we were there we couldn't take our jackets off. I will update and give them five stars if we go back and their heat works. To be fair it worked a little, just not at peak efficiency for some reason. It was cold but not bitter.
