The Tamarind Indian Restaurant

Could not reccomend this enough!
Better Indian food than I had in India
Service is perfect as well, the staff is really nice
Portions are big so it’s also good value for money

What a great little gem in Blenheim! Incredible and authentic South Indian cuisine – we highly recommend the dosa – it’s huge and delicious! We also really liked the korma and biryani. The Service was fast, attentive and very kind. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful curry! A group of us came & all ordered something different & everyone was happy with their meal. Dosa was a big one! Lovely service. Good hot spice on the hot curry

Fantastic experience. Restaurant manager Vivek has provided us a warm welcome and Surendar who served food was amazing and friendly

Best Indian food in Marlborough.do not miss this place!
Vivek is an awesome host, very nice place.

The food was great. A new experience for me some of the flavors and was so impressed. The staff were knowledgeable and very helpful. Will certainly be back.

Always great! Thanks Vivek you always make sure you're guests are comfortable. Lovely food as always, eggplant curry dish with Parotta! Namaste

I had an amazing experience when it comes ro dine in as the staff is really friendly, give good suggestions and food is amazing.
Restaurant manager Vivek and Atish are very friendly and amazing soul.
They really help in the process to business grow!

I am presently surprised with the quality of food in this place. Probably more surprises in store for us in the south island! But must say their quality is really amazing with great ambiance and very good service. Will come back again for sure.

Best butter chicken in Blenheim. Pricing is very good for what you get, great customer service, staff was smiling and friendly. Food was ready for takeaway at the right time.
10/10

Outstanding and genuine South Indian cuisine. This was our second visit so finally got to have the Dhosa! Great for Veggie, Gluten Free and dairy free options. Helpful team and slightly different from the standard Indian.

Warm and friendly welcome! Restaurant has even a good variety of vegeterian food!
Food was delicious and tasted some sort of naan bread

The service was fast and friendly and pricing was reasonable. We had the pepper calamari for starter which was very enjoyable. I had the butter ‘prawn’, well that’s what I ordered. I really have no idea what I got but pretty sure it wasn’t prawn, it seemed to be some sort of manufactured protein and was in a quite dark red sauce. The flavour was ok and I should’ve questioned what the protein was as it will likely haunt me for the rest of time.

Tamarind provided an exceptional (!) dining experience; thank you very much️

The Masala Dosa and accompanying items were terrific! Clearly, every aspect of our dishes were prepared fresh, with love and focus by a very talented chef (s).

We loved our meal; the service; and the kindness and brilliance of the owner!

Overall, it was a truly edifying experience! We offer our heartiest recommendation! Go — and enjoy!

Cosy atmosphere. Great food and helpful staff. Would recommend without hesitation. Thanks again!

Our favorite meal in New Zealand. We ordered the broccoli appetizer, eggplant masala, kerala fish curry and a chicken dish that I forget the name of. But wow, the flavors knocked us out. So delicious and original. We’ll be dreaming of that fish curry for a while.

Delicious southern Indian food - curries exceeded expectations and something different to typical Indian restaurants. Owner is very friendly and passionate about his food.

Excellent food and excellent service. Would highly recommend if you're in Blenheim for the evening. We especially loved the lentil donughts!

Best indian meal we ever had in Blenheim. Great selection of vegetarian options. Must try one in Blenheim. Dairy free and gluten free. Friendly and attentive service.

Wow. This is by far the best indian food we ever ate. Also the ambience is Verry warming and the owner is super helpful and passionatet about the menu he offers, he also provides an excellent service even if short on staff. The type of naan bread they offer alone makes it worth a visit. Highly recommend to try their food. We will be back very soon
