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.

If you’re after excellent food for a special occasion then Tamarind Indian Restaurant at Blofield is the place to go. We had been previously some while ago but the quality of food is better than ever! You are welcomed like long lost friends when you...enter and the service is as good as any fine dining restaurant. My wife started with Zinga Laziz; meaty king prawns beautifully grilled to perfection, and I had Aloo Tiki, a North Indian potato and spinach dish in a garlic and tomato sauce. For mains, a Chicken Tikka Masala with Pilau Rice, and Imli Murgh; breast of chicken pieces cooked in a spicy sauce with paprika, turmeric and nutmeg, and flavoured with tamarind, and accompanied with lemon and chilli rice. Absolutely delicious. With a side of beautiful Aloo Dum (baby potatoes pan fried with mustard seeds cumin and garlic) we were seriously stuffed and could not compliment the chef more. A fantastic evening with excellent food. What more could you want other than a pint of Cobra to accompany and a garlic Nan for mopping up! Perfect!More

Three of us went here for a cooking experience which didn't disappoint! I called the restaurant and asked Giyash if he would run a short cooking course for 3 of us as we wanted to learn more about spice cookery. Giyash was happy to oblige...and we rocked up a few weeks later. We were taken into the kitchen which was spotless. Some prep work was going on, but we were given aprons and shown all the different spices they use. We got to do a bit of prep for the dish that we were about to cook: 1. Butter Chicken 2. Jalfrezi 3. Takka dahl 4. Bhindi bhaji 5. Perfect pilaf rice Giyash was happy to answer all our question as he talked us through the steps to using the large array of spices that went into all the dishes. Lots of tips and pointers on cooking each dish, and some of the less know ingredients that went into the marinades! We got to add the spices and handle the pans on the intense heat of the kitchen burners. The smells that filled the kitchen were amazing as were the little tasters! All the dishes were amazing and honestly some of the best Indian dishes I've had for a very long time, and we cook it ourselves! (with expert guidance ;-) Overall it was a great experience that we all took a lot away from, in addition to everything we cooked - we were stuffed and very happy!More

We visited The Tamarind in Blofield whilst on holiday and what an experience! We were made to feel so welcome and comfortable. Food wise, 10 out of 10! It was absolutely delicious! Presentation first class too! As far as the restaurant goes itself, it certainly...has that high class feel about it and the toilet was spotless! I would certainly recommend The Tamarind to anybody. Well done to the owner and staff alike. I will return!More

I love a good indian meal and like many have my favourites which we visit when we can. I’ve just found a new favourite. From the moment they opened the door and greeted us to when we left with a doggy bag we was treated...like honoured guests. All staff were attentive and efficient, I’d barely placed my empty wine glass back on the table before I was asked if I wanted another drink! Never have we had 6 options with the poppadoms, that was an absolute delight. Starters (photo) was beautifully presented as was the rest of the meal, absolutely delicious and hot and fresh. Without doubt the best Indian restaurant we’ve ever been to. And for the first time ever I was offered take away boxes for the leftovers which I took advantage of and enjoyed for the second time tonight. Cannot wait to return.More

Our first visit to this restaurant left us truly amazed. Not your usual square or rectangular floor space filled with tables but a restaurant thoughtfully designed with customer comfort at the top of the list. So much space with very comfortable seating. Service from the...time we walked in to when we left was professional and attentive but always timed well. The food was possibly the best Indian we have ever eaten and personally I've had the pleasure for almost 50 years. Poppadoms to nibble on with a large selection of pickles. A meat platter to share which was beautifully presented and not only succulent but full of flavour. Two specials for the main course which we had never had before. Very tender lamb and beef that were both amazing in flavour and certainly on the new list of favourites. Best mushroom bhaji ever plus rice naans and a new potato dish all made for a fantastic meal. Very reasonably priced bottle of house wine that again was very good plus a couple of Cobras and we were pleasantly sufficed. As for the bill. Just over £100 which we felt was excellent value for money considering the quality of food and service. The owner also took the time to come and chat with us and kindly offered us complimentary drinks. We hope to visit many more times as well as introduce friends and family. This is a must visit. Book in advance. We went on a Sunday and it was full of very happy dinersMore

Dinner last night - with our friend from Kerala who guided us through the menu choices - we dont normally eat out at an Indian restaurant. Everything was delicious - I sampled all her choices! Popadums so light they could probably fly and the dishes...were fabulous with delicate spicing. The rice was worthy of eating on its own. The presentation of the food, especially the starter was beautiful - like a painting. Service was first class , attentive and the waiting staff knew about their dishes - There were quite a few people dining there. I would suggest you book a table if you want to go to dine there. to save disappointment. Ample parking outside and easy access if you have limited mobility. They also do take aways!! The restaurant is very spacious, so you do not need to be sitting on top of other diners - very important in these post covid affected days. Overall a lovely experience.More

After a great meal in June we thought we'd take our daughter when she came up on July. Good decision The service was consistent and very friendly. Food was stunning. The meat platter is highly recommended as a starter as was the monkfish. Mains were...packed with flavour. Didn't have desserts as too full from the meal itself and it appeared that only one dessert dish was made on site. Had the mango lassi again and I still think it's one of the best I've had. The chutney pots with the poppadoms are large. Very moorish so quite easy to fill up on those before the meal itself Service, quality of food and drink and pricing make this an excellent value restaurant.More

Visited whilst staying in the area on the back of reviews read here. So glad we did :) Really good vegetarian curry, one of the best I’ve had anywhere. Such fresh ingredients used , great flavour & ordered a Bhuna so not too hot either....Excellent sides too with lovely, fresh garlic naan which was nice & crisp & not too stodgy. Popadoms came with loads of really fresh dips & ended up ordering more they were so good. Husband really enjoyed his Chicken Balti too. Service was excellent, fitted us in without a booking on a busy Saturday night when we thought we might have to settle for a takeaway & very welcoming of our young daughter too.More
