Tamarind has delicious food and excellent service. My husband and I are regulars there and we've never received a bad meal or felt neglected service-wise. On one occasion, the kitchen was slightly backed up. Without a single complaint from us, the owner brought us an appetizer and apologized for the wait. We were seriously impressed. The food is always delicious. My favorite is the methi chicken and my husband loves the paneer dishes. They are having some financial trouble now, so they've had to cut the menu back and change the way you order (now orders are taken at the counter). The ordering doesn't bother me at all, but it's a shame that the menu had to get slashed. The only way to fix that is to get more people to eat there. If you want delicious Indian food, try Tamarind. If you want to see good Indian food stay in Matthews, support Tamarind by eating there and recommending it to friends and family.
