| - Tonight was the first time we ate at Tamarind in about 18 months, prior to tonight we have enjoyed the food many, many times, but that is until tonight. This is not the same food that kept us coming back previously, and certainly NOT authentic Indian food. Ordered a vindaloo and butter chicken, it wasn't even remotely close in taste or texture. Both the butter chicken and vindaloo were a grossly overly tomato concoction, neither "dish" came close, butter chicken wasn't the creamy delight and vindaloo was terrible and not even the least bit spicy. I have personally enjoyed Indian food all over Canada (Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto), in London UK, and right in Mumbai India, so I think I have the pallet to know good food from bad, and unfortunately this really wasn't good at all.
We really enjoyed Tamarind in the past, but either the chief has left the building or different ownership has changed the menu altogether. Very disappointing. If you want authentic Indian in Calgary go to Mango Shiva or Glory of India downtown.
