About
From the very well known restaurant Potters Bar Tandoori opened back in 1991, now brings back the former owners to open the new Indian restaurant Tamarind Fusion. Nostalgia at its finest. Combining special flavours from different parts of South Asia including Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and India. We fuse the best dishes from scratch cooked using unique techniques not used in your typical Indian restaurant by our top renowned and very well known chef Ahmed and not to forget our key team players Islam and Anu. Curry houses have always held a special place in the hearts of us Brits so we're back to bring our customers that great Indian cuisine and go to curry house that's been missing for far too long

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I haven't even left the restaurant & am writing this review because we have had such a lovely evening. It was our first time visiting Tamarind & as soon as we walked in we were impressed - with both the decor and the very warm...welcome, which continued throughout our evening until the moment we left. And then there was the amazing choice of dishes, all of which were so delicious, perfectly spiced & fresh, with one of the dishes being assembled at our table. As for the chicken, it was amazingly tender. It felt like we had had an experience rather than just a meal out with thanks to the very attentive & friendly staff and the fantastic food. If you are looking for a great Indian, this is the one for you!More

I have to say that the position and street view of this restaurant should definitely not put you off from walking and dine in this outstanding restaurant. We booked a dinner for 8 just for a change and were overwhelmed by how lovely it felt...to dine in Tamarind. Firstly we arrived 9 instead of 8 and were swiftly accommodated. The atmosphere right from the start was very friendly and we were promptly served by knowledgeable and professional staff. The dishes were exceptional, bursting with rich spices and perfectly cooked. The staff's warmth and dedication ensured our comfort and satisfaction and showed true hospitality. We ordered various dishes which arrived exactly as they should, tasting all exceptional & special. They also implemented all our dietary needs as well as accommodating children ;-)) We loved the personal touch, we will come again and highly recommend Tamarind to others ;-))More

I recently visited the restaurant with my partner after reading all the positive reviews. Unfortunately the service was seriously lacking and we won’t be returning again. Extremely slow at taking orders and serving the food, it appeared that only 1 waiter was working. Although the...waiter tried his best to be charming and funny, personally it was just a cover up for the bad service. We had been at the restaurant almost an hour without our starter and the waiter kept telling us it was only 2 minutes away, which was starting to annoy us. They forgot some of the main course and then tried to say it was still cooking in the oven. When my partner got up to pay they came running out of the kitchen with the rest of the food expecting we were going to eat it (despite being stood with a jacket on ready to pay) Decent enough food, but there’s plenty of other restaurants that get both food and service right, sadly not this one.More

Came tonight as part of a large group of about 30 of us and we were all blown away by the quality of the food, the speed of the service and the friendliness of the staff. Not an easy feat with the number of us...there were to serve. All food was delicious, served quickly and hot. One of the best Indians we’ve had and will definitely be coming back!More
