Warm, concise, universally appealing Tamarind is a true Nyack treasure. Went here for lunch. The lunch special is amazing and such a good value for money. The rest of the review is AI but I wholeheartedly agreedDelicious food, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere all come together for a memorable dining experience. The dishes were rich in flavor and clearly prepared with care, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. A perfect spot for both casual dinners and special occasions. Highly recommend read more

Tamarind - Indian Near Me - Nyack, New York

I found this relatively new Indian restaurant during the Nyack street fair, where they set up a stall to sell samosas, palak paneer and chana masala. My husband and I came to dinner recently. It is housed in a large space (that used to be some kind of burger joint), with a semi-open kitchen, a full bar and lots of tables. For appetizer we asked for their chili cauliflower. For my dairy-intolerant vegetarian diet, the waitress patiently explained the ingredients of all the options, and we chose Mushroom Hara pyaaz and Martban ke Choley, a chickpea stew that came in a mysterious clay pot :-). The cauliflower was crispy batter fried, dowsed in a tangy sweet and sour and spicy sauce, truly tasty! The mushroom hara pyaaz was the champion of the meal - all familiar flavors yet unique and memorable - comfort and satisfaction rolled in one. The chickpeas were less well-cooked, a bit more al dente, than the usual Indian fare that we have been exposed to, but still very nice. The waiting staff were very friendly and attentive, and the bill was quite reasonable. We'll definitely come back. read more

A neighbor in Nyack mentioned that they had a great lunch special of vegetarian options, lamb, chicken and one more set that included dessert in a 3 or 4 piece set meal. My sister in law and I headed over and it was perfectly enough food and more than we could possibly eat. The place is lovely and has a great esthetic, and the wait staff was polite and very well versed. I lost the Google review login so I had to make one on here instead. We will definitely come back again! Thank you! read more

New restaurant in Nyack a lot of Buzz seems to be surrounding it. We went and spent too much money, but the beer and food were great shrimp. Curry was a stand out even the non-and culture bread at the beginning were pretty great. Excellent server also. Recommended, but would suggest going at an off hour to beat the crowds. read more

The ambiance was pleasant, and I really liked the decor. They've made quite a few changes from the previous restaurant. With the open floor plan, the noise carried across the room, which was expected. Service was a little slow, but understandable since they're short-staffed and just opened a week ago--we didn't mind the wait. The food and drinks were unique, offering northern cuisine with a twist. We enjoyed it and will definitely be back. Highly recommend giving it a try! read more

So awesome to finally see a new restaurant in this space! We got takeout over the weekend and I was looking forward to picking it up -- when I stepped in, I had wished we had eaten out instead! The renovations inside were gorgeous, and the energy/vibe was fantastic. It was a Saturday night and I was happy to see the place was hopping. The open kitchen adds to the ambiance, and the decor and place settings are modern and sleek. It's a huge dining space, with lots of room for different sized parties and lots of different nooks and sections to be seated in so you won't feel like you're on top of the next table. The food lived up to that first impression! We got two different curries and they were both rich and flavorful with bold spice but not overpowering with heat. The tandoori chicken was delicious, smoky and juicy and perfectly cooked. The samosas were crispy and tender (sometimes samosas can be oily and chewy, but these were just right). The only item that was so-so was the naan... ours was a little over done and hard to chew. I would've preferred it a little fluffier, I don't know if it was cooked too long or if that's just the style they're making it. But really it was fine, I still ate all of it and would get it again (maybe butter or garlic next time instead of plain) We're looking forward to our next order! Or maybe we'll come in and eat in the restaurant -- either way, it's a fantastic addition to the nyack restaurant scene! read more

Decent prices,service,and food quality,but place is cavernous,better for weddings;poor ambiance

This is a beautiful and clean place with really flavorful food! Everything tasted different and fresh, staff were very helpful and open to making a change to a drink I wanted to order. Dessert reminded me of home. I'll definitely be going back there! read more

REALLY good food!! Very flavorful and perfect spice (read: was not too spicy!) offers many meal options and we loved them all. Lamb dish (on bone) was very tender & flavorful , saag paneer was delicious.. forget the name - but it was paneer tika masala was exquisite!! Decor is very cozy and welcoming. Service also A+..very professional. I shared it was my birthday and I was surprised with a slice of the pistachio cake- which I HIGHLY recommend. Very thoughtful! Cocktails and mocktails were delicious. We will be back again and again! Definitely recommend Tamarind!! (Oh and garlic naan- sooo good and fresh!!) read more

Tamarind in Nyack exceeded every expectation. I came in curious after hearing buzz around town, and left genuinely impressed. I ordered the Rogani Nalli (lamb shank) and it was outstanding -- fall-off-the-bone tender, rich with slow-braised depth, and layered with flavor from the perfectly spiced gravy. The portion was generous without being overwhelming, and the plating had that elevated feel you don't always find in traditional Indian spots. This isn't just comfort food -- it's elevated, elegant, and still deeply satisfying. To drink, I tried their signature colada, which was bright, tropical, and beautifully balanced -- not overly sweet, and paired surprisingly well with the richness of the lamb. The attention to cocktail craft here is no afterthought; it's clearly part of the overall experience. Service was warm, professional, and never intrusive. The space itself is modern and inviting, with just enough intimacy for a dinner you'll remember. Didn't get to dessert this time, but I'll be back for sure. Tamarind is a welcome addition to Nyack's food scene -- upscale but unpretentious, bold but refined. Highly recommended. read more

I really appreciate the banner I was concerned about was taken down. Thank you, Tamarind!

Excellent service. The restaurant was clean, well lit, and spacious. I ordered a dal salad, which I really wasn't a fan of. The service noticed I didn't like it and offered to replace it with something else. I insisted no but they were really nice about it. I ended up replacing it with potato chaat which was a perfect mixture of savory, tangy, and sweet. What I really loved was the meen moilee, a coconut curry with fish. The curry was extremely flavorful, buttery, and creamy. The paratha also was delicious. Perfectly cooked, flaky, buttery. I would definitely come back. read more

Like India, this place is rich with wonderful contradictions. The place is huge. the service warm and personable. The lighting is soft, yet the menu is easy to read. which is a good thing because it offers a wide and eclectic array of dishes unlike any other Indian place i've eaten in. Our friendly and patient waiter walked us through the menu that included dishes from Northern Indian and provide options in other than the familiar kormas and curries. Everything we had was beautifully plated and well timed. We started wth the Shakarkandi Chaat small plate with sweet and savory sweet potato, tamarind, mint, ginger, dates and cilantro. it was rich, layered and luscious. we followed it with the coconut shrimp which awesome and thenctwo unusual tandoori dishes lamb chops and believe it or not spinach. Both were fantastic. By the end of the meal, we decided to pass on desert but our now friend and waiter brought out what he called a carrot pudding - on the house. It was not an American style pudding. It was like a moist and dense cake but with carrots and beet roots that was out of this world. We begged him to change the name to Garden Delight. so if that is on the menu, order it. read more

Its good all the Chicken dishes the Nan,..etc but $34+ for Indian Chicken dishes..COMMON! No way! Next

The food, decor, and vibe are all on point. This has to be the best restaurant in rockland. I'll definitely make this the go to for when I'm visiting my folks. Lagan Ki Boti, butter chicken, cheese poppers, and paneer ke sole were real standouts among everything else we got. Butter naan and all the breads were outstanding as well. Honestly really hard to find a place where everything you eat is good but this is it. Ed Sheeran playlist while we were there was the perfect pair to the upbeat and lively vibe of this place. The team is welcoming and makes you feel at home. What more could you want in your new favorite local spot. Go out and make a reservation. They book up. read more

I've been there twice. I was really apprehensive considering the huge size of the space and the fact that Indian food is quite a niche taste in the US, although I adore it and cook Indian meals often. I really hate for a restaurant in Nyack to fail, but the food is awful. It has no discernible flavor. I honestly want to get into the kitchen and guide them. The papadams and pickle and chutneys are very good. The servers are lovely. The restaurant is lovely. It's with great distress that I write this review, but I have to be honest. read more

WOW!! This place exceeded my wildest expectations. Each dish was superb, small and large. Look out Rockland County, there's a new kid in town! We will be frequent guests at Tamarind in Nyack. read more

Tried Tamarind Dat nite 9/27 for 1 st time. Disappointed with our experience. Thought menu was significantly overpriced. Food quality fair. Portions for price too small. Atmosphere awful. While only few other diners, noise level including music so loud could not have any conversation with my dining partner. Will stick with Mumbai Dreams for Nyack area gourmet Indian Cuisine. Would not return to Tamarind. read more
