Tamarind island — Restaurant in New York

Restaurant looks good,the food even looks good; However don’t waste your money here, go to Any other Caribbean restaurant on Liberty Ave & you will get better Guyanese, Trinidadan& Caribbean food!!!

Their Roti is hard/Stiff; it lacks flavor and forget about eating it the next day you since can’t it’s too hard. Ordered 2 plain and 2 dhal

The Curry Chicken needs seasoning/ spices! Ordered 1.

The fried Rice was just Eggs with soy sauce Rice and veggies; also lacked flavor! We were very Disappointed with it… we ordered 1

The Chowmein was ok ; honestly the best of all the things that we got. But it was just that ok… Not wowed by it at all

5.’The Tamarind chicken wings was flavorful but very Expensive; and they are not Whole wings for the price it’s literally wings cut into pieces. Meaning 3 Whole Tamarind chicken wings, will give you a 6 piece of wings there. We ordered a 6 piece.

Doubles; just leave it there.. we ordered 4. Wish we hadn’t.

The Fish cooked in Brown stew sauce; we waited 20 minutes for it. Wish we canceled that. It was Horrible and my sister & her husband both threw it away. We order 2 this. Just a waste…

Pastries: Not made by the restaurant; prepackaged! Some were fresh other were ok

The STAFF. The younger Lady in her 20’s was very efficient and helpful; we wish we had gotten her. We got the younger man in his 20’s or early thirties. We was the opposite. It took him over 45 minutes; yes you read right, it took him 45 to take my order. And I was considering leaving. After every item he went into the kitchen. I wasn’t sure what was going. So I asked the younger lady and she would call for him every time. In the meantime she took several orders which came during & after me.

She sensed my frustration & told him that you have the lady waiting so long. He did apologize and told the both of us that he was sorry. Smh

Tarmind restaurant is the closest Caribbean restaurant next to my home. My family was hoping that it would be Good. Sadly we are Disappointed. Back to the other Restaurants on Liberty we go… I spent exactly...

I have to admit, I did not want to leave this negative review because when this restaurant first opened they were great, customer service was great, food was delicious and FRESH...and their peanut punch wasn't sour... The customer service now SUCKS, they all act like they hate their jobs and don't wanna serve you, have you waiting forever just to pay for your items. I understand that you guys have to reheat your food, but some times it's really unnecessary to be recooking the same food over and over again, the chowmein and doubles I purchased today were both burnt...seems like the same food keep getting reheated to sell...I recently bought a peanut punch and as soon as I opened the bottle it popped which was weird then I went ahead and taste it cause it was no where close to the expiration date....tasted it, sour!!! I live all the way in Brooklyn and did not want to drive all the way back to queens just to exchange a peanut punch...you guys can do a whole lot better...especially with customer service...train staff that it's ok to smile a little....and ask nicely to repeat yourself if they didnt hear you...instead of having a whole attitude just cause u may not know what exactly to get since you may be trying to experience a new dish...I've witnessed a lot of times how they act when they didnt hear you or when they just don't have time to have you repeat yourself because they didn't hear you over the music in there.... As for me, 3 times was more than enough times for me in there...I will not be coming here again or even recommend my friends/family about here...unless you guys work on atleast one of this issue.... The atmosphere is beautiful, it always looks clean so that's a plus, the pastries are delicious but a bit overpriced, and my favorite drink used to be the peanut punch but for $5 and it being spoiled way before expiration date is just...

I’ve eaten here a couple times and the food is good. But my most recent experience (10 mins ago) was enough for me to never return. The first thing I that came out of my mouth when the sever asked me what I would like was “Can I get one double with just tamarind sauce…” she turned away as I was ordering so she had to ask me again what I wanted. I repeated “Onw double with tamarind and one with curry chicken” she begins making it and I notice her putting all this stuff on it. I stopped her asked what it was she was adding onto it and rudely she responded, “the same thing that’s in all your food”, I explained to her that I only asked for one double with tamarind and one with chicken.. she cuts me Off as I’m telling her this, slams the spoon down and rolls her eyes, with a nasty attitude and says “I’ll make it over”. I kindly placed my sorrel back in the fridge and just left the store. One thing I hate is when the person serving you isn’t paying attention, then messages up your order and then treats you as if you’ve done something wrong. I will not be supporting a business who handles their customers that way. These businesses forget the customers are the reason they stand. The food is good but I will not be treated that way by someone’s who job is to serve me as patron. Especially when I’m a frequent customer. It’s hurtful and...
