Tamarind is my go to place for every celebration. Be it birthday, anniversary or any special occasion. The food is just superlatively delicious. The ambience is always warm and welcoming. Jenny serves food with her whole heart and she is super friendly. Chef Tashi’s almost all dishes are just mouthwatering. Some of my favourite dishes are Chicken Hakka Noddles, Jhol Momo, Chethinnad Chicken, Samosa Chat, Chicken Biriyani and Tandoori Shirmp.
