So after some nagging on my husbands part, we ventured out for some Indian cuisine. He loves the stuff, I unfortunately don't. Tamarind is in our neck of the woods and we headed out with the kids in tow and gave it a go on a Tuesday.
The space itself is lovely but quite small but considering the location, it is more catered to people who live in Panorama Hills. The menu is extensive and there is A LOT to choose from.
We started with a beef and veg samosa appetizer. My husband couldn't get enough, but me and the kids found them way too spicy. For Indian, I guess that's to be expected.
We proceeded to order our mains: butter chicken for the kids, mild of course, beef korma for myself, and hubby had the Kadhai Jhinga (spicy shrimp).
The verdict: I thought the butter chicken was extremely rich and overly sweet tasting, so I didn't enjoy it and my little one didn't like it at all. The beef korma was excellent but I wish there was a few more beef chunks in it, there was too much sauce and not enough beef. If I enjoyed extreme spice, I think I would have enjoyed the shrimp more. My husband loved it but I felt it was so spicy that you couldn't even taste the shrimp. The best part of the meal for me was the coconut rice, garlic naan and the mango lassi. I felt that $3.00 for 3 pieces of bread was extreme but it was delicious and I could have eaten that for dinner alone! The mango lassi was a nice refreshing drink to cleanse the pallet after the fire.
All in all a nice restaurant but I don't think that I would go again strictly for the fact that I don't like east Indian cuisine but I am sure they got a regular client out of my husband! A solid 3.5 stars for the quick service, and delicious naan!
