Tamarind Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Lisbon

When we travel, we try to sample as much of the local food, groceries and produce of the country as we can. But we do love our Indian food so we have that once a week. . Today happened to be that day and we were walking down the R. das Portas de Santo Antão street that has a lot of restaurants. We saw a few menus and then decided to go for Indian food. We Googled and found this restaurant that was close to us and had pretty good ratings and reviews. It was also a 98% match for us so we decided to give it a go. . The restaurant is surprisingly small for the number of reviews, but the number of reviews could be due to its location. The designer stores as well as a mall are in close proximity to the restaurant. . We got the Samosas to start with followed by the Goan Prawn Curry, Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer, Chili Paneer, Daal Makhani, Gobi Aloo, Bhindi Masala, Garlic Naan as well as Plain Naan. We asked for the spice level to be medium. . Most of the food was very flavorful and very close to the traditional Indian taste. Daal Makhani was by far the best. The Goan Prawn Curry was not what we expected and was too coconuty. The Bhindi masala was not that great either and too spicy. The rest was fantastic. In fact, we ordered a second round of the Saag Paneer. The portion sizes are good and a single entree could be shared by 2 adults. . We would...

We have been to the place a week ago and it was I would say best among the bests in Lisbon. 2 minutes walking distance from Metro station Restauradores. Menu is affordable the food is surprisingly so delicious. Neat and clean place that offers a nice environment to dine and relax. I’d give more stars to host for her way of hospitality, she seems a wonderful soft spoken, who is able to speak Portuguese, English and Indian language. She was very helpful to offer us a take away Indian Tea ingredients which helped us to prepare tea in breakfast before leaving Lisbon. Every sip was her great favor to us! Thank you lady for that kindness. We will definitely visit you again and would highly recommend this place to all who read this review. She gave a visiting card that has QR code linked with TripAdvisor review, I tried many times but it doesn’t work. As well as I’d suggest them to provide a WhatsApp/Telegram Number so people could connect with them from overseas. I felt bad that I was unable to connect through the given link. So I finally came here to write an review.

Thank you very much for wonderful...

I went to this restaurant with my husband to celebrate our 11th anniversary. It was a Thursday night at 7pm and I was pleased by the fact that this tinny restaurant was not full.

The starter was a thin special type of bread (papad) with 4 types of sauces, after this, we moved to a meat samosa.

The samosa was delicious, nor too spicy or over seasoned. It was simply good.

Then, we moved to the main dishes. We ordered Butter Chicken for me and Chicken Korma for my husband. The portions weren't big. On our case, just 6~7 cubes of chicken for each of us; which is a kind of a disappointment because, in the end, you will be craving for more.

Do not forget to order rice as a side dish to complement your meal.

Both dishes, the Butter Chicken and the Chicken Korma, were very good. With the right amount of spice and very well executed.

The staff is very nice, they are always ready to take your orders and to explain each dish for you to have a great experience.

The restaurant has a balanced decoration and it feels cozy.

For sure I will...
