Great curry, great service!
We ordered takeaway curry for 35 people and were so impressed by the quality of the food and the ease of sorting such a large order!
Anu was very accommodating and patient and kindly threw in some starters on the house too.
Absolutely no complaints, top class all round – would highly recommend Tamarind!
Thanks again 🙂

Dinner Out
Lovely meal and friendly staff. Food and drink was delicious. Highly recommend. Great evening with friends
Amazing Chicken Tikka (main) sizzling and Excellent Customer Service
We went to the Tamarind last night after reading all the positive reviews on Tripadvisor. We were not disappointed. Customer service was excellent. The restaurant was very clean and modern in decor. We ordered the Chicken Tikka (main) sizzling and the Lamb Madras with pilau rice, plain naan bread and vegetables. Every thing was cooked fresh and tasted wonderful. Probably the best Chicken Tikka I’ve tasted. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area. We will certainly be coming back soon and will bring our family and friends.
First time here and very impressed with the food and service. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant.
A get together with Sisters
I must say every time I have visited , it’s been a most enjoyable experience. The staff are friendly and not overpowering, pleasant and courteous
Prompt service with tasty dishes and all at price worth paying. Thoroughly a great experience on a Friday night
Recommend this restaurant to serve the best Asian food in Potters Bar!
The food was excellent and the waiting staff were helpful and charming. Please please keep it up because we have been looking for a good local Indian restaurant for a long time. We hope to remain your loyal customers.
This was my first time in Tamarind, but certainly not my last.
It’s a nice clean and tidy restaurant in Potters Bar. We let the guys know what we like and what level heat of we would like and they brought us out some truly wonderful dishes that I haven’t seen anywhere else.
The food Was utterly phenomenal, very welcoming and accommodating staff, with a very short wait time.
Can’t fault the restaurant at all, I’ll be back guys! 😋😋
We can’t wait for Tamarind to re-open after lockdown! We’ve enjoyed their takeaways throughout covid restrictions. Food always hot, tasty and plenty of it….thanks for being here during lockdown we look forward to sitting down in your refurbished restaurant very soon 🙂
Great Food, Friendly Staff
There are lots of reviews on here that say this is a great restaurant . It is because it is a great restaurant
Fantastic welcome, to bright and airy restaurant. Menu is interesting and varied. All in all a lovely evening great food, surroundings and atmosphere.
Great Meal!
Another visit to my favourite curry house and this time I brought three friends who had not visited before. The makeover the restaurant had over lockdown gives it a great ambience and the cutlery and China add to the whole experience.
I ordered my usual favourites of Chicken Mollmow to start and Lamb Shajahani for main. Absolutely spot on and my friends were suitably impressed with their selections too.
I would Highly recommend Tamarind and Anu and Islam give a wonderful warm welcome to their restaurant
Quality Indian cuisine. Loved the rice with my madras & the onion barji was crispy. Recommended to any lovers of Indian food
Absolutely fantastic restaurant. The atmosphere and presentation are beautiful and classy and clean. It feels so fancy, and I was worried it would be expensive, but it’s not! The staff go above and beyond and are very kind. The menu is awesome! I had the shashlick chicken. I’m new to curry, but this restaurant sold me on it. They’re experimenting with new twists on traditional recipes and it absolutely works. I’ve only been here once, and I really can’t find anything bad to say about this place. Being from the US, I hope to go back one day!
An amazing night out with The Mrs.
we drove 45 mins to get to potters bar. all i can say is that the service, the meal and the staff were excellent. the ambiance of the venue was amazing. the meal was so good, we ordered more for take away. the Mrs insisted we come back again soon.
First time ordering and it was a very tasty curry. Fantastic service even though they were really busy as its new years. Curry wasn’t watery at all and got a free bottle of white wine with the order.

We’ll be back!
If this was “Strictly” it would be straight 10’s
We visited this restaurant for the first time – wow what a fantastic experience. From our initial telephone booking to our arrival and tasting of the food everything was superb. The food was the best Indian we have had for a long time, very tasty balanced spices and flavours and well presented. The service was impeccable, polite and also helpful if any explanation was needed. The menu was extensive with “Indian fusion” style food so you could choose from Bengal style , Sri Lankan specialities or more traditional Indian.
The decor of the restaurant was contemporary and modern.
Islam and Anu are a great front of house team along with the brother who cooks amazingly magical spiced food.
We can’t wait to go back and would recommend Tamarind to anyone looking for fabulous food and great service in the area.
