Tamarind Restaurant — Restaurant in Kolkata

When Tamarind Kolkata opened it's doors some 20 plus years ago, the city officially got it's first South Indian Restaurant offering Non-Veg varieties of different regions and states mostly around the coastal area. You just get to experience South Indian food beyond Dosa, Idly and all those familiar dishes one would think of when they visit a South Indian Restaurant.

Over here things are much more special and indeed a homage to many culturally rich dishes which most of us wouldn't be knowing till yesterday, but Tamarind has binded all these rich cuisines from Andhra, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Coorgi, Karnataka, Goa, Coastal Odisha and of course Bengal and welcomed everyone to relish it's preparations under the guidance of trained chefs who carefully keep the authenticity of the dishes intact by maintaining the flavour and true presentation.

I was recently very delighted to come here and celebrate their existence over the years, treating their patrons such great food and making a big name in the city. I had the opportunity once again to feast over their signature dishes like Coorg Chicken, Fish Porichatu (Bhetki), Kodi Sukkah, Appam, Mutton Stew, Malabar Paratha, Chicken Chettinad and Ambat Dal. The meal was such a heavenly affair that i though i was sitting somewhere in the Southern part of India, getting exactly the true taste of the food like the way how it's done.

Would urge all the foodies out there to definitely visit this place and explore the culinary delights it offers as it would totally turn out to be a memorable dining.

Tamarind is certainly one of the upbeat restaurants in Kolkata. It certainly has made a mark with the variety of food and quality that it serves. I've been to the restaurant several times but writing a review always skipped my mind as I got mind-blowen by it's amazing food. :P This time, however, I ensured that I certainly give the restaurant its due credit. I visited them on Valentine's Day with friends. The place was very prettily decorated with heart-shaped balloons and red roses. They even had a special set menu on offer for the couples celebrating the special day. We however stuck to the ala carte menu. We ordered the ghee roast chicken,massa stew, Chettinad Chicken and appams (both the plain and cheese options). The ghee roast chicken was remarkable with cashewnuts and the subtle flavour of ghee in it. The Massa Stew is basically Mutton Stew made in coconut gravy with potato cubes-- very light on the stomach and yummy to eat alongwith the Appam. I had ordered a cheese appam which was crisp and loaded with cheese. The Chettinad Chicken lived upto its name and its base origin.
