Lasooni gobi - A white, round bowl holds lasooni gobi, an Indian dish featuring cauliflower florets cooked in a spicy tomato-based sauce. The dish is garnished with fresh cilantro leaves. The background shows a dark table surface with some utensils and a glass, indicating a restaurant setting.

We were absolutely blown away with our experience at Tamarind. We came in simply looking for a good Indian meal, and while it didn't disappoint, we received much more. We were seated quickly and had the friendliest server! He was thoughtful and kind when taking our order, asking follow up questions and exuding warmth. After placing our order (dal makhani and butter chicken, along with lasooni gobi to start), out came some complimentary papadums and chutney which hit the spot. The lasooni gobi was just perfect and a great warm up to the meal. When the meal itself came, each curry was adorned with a decorative swirl that made it look extra-appetizing. The flavor was on point. When ordering, we were asked about spice levels, and they came out perfectly matched to how we asked for them. The most impressive part of the experience was the bread basket. Do not skip the bread basket! For $6, you can get your choice of bread. For $16, you get bread for days, including paratha, butter naan, garlic naan, and another bread that I forget. It was seriously so much, which was unexpected and exactly what we needed. We left with lunch for tomorrow, but before we did, another server and potentially a chef came by to ask how everything was. What a classy, awesome experience. Come here for date night or takeout.

Thali for lunch. A beautiful (and delicious!) lavender g&t - A round metal tray holds a variety of Indian dishes including curries, rice, naan bread, and condiments. The tray features small bowls filled with different sauces, vegetables, and side dishes. The setting appears to be a restaurant with a dark table, and there are drinks including a purple beverage with a straw, a glass of white wine, and water. A person in the background is using a smartphone, and the overall scene depicts a meal in a casual dining environment.

I went here twice within two weeks, so I'll do a write up about both. Dropped in one night after work for dinner and drinks. First off, the drink menu alone is probably one of the best in the areas. For dinner, I had the Shakarkandi chat to start... it was easily my fave thing so far. Crunchy fried potatoes, raisins, pomegranate seeds... it's sweet, salty, and just soo tasty. The Meen varuval was pretty good - curry was tasty, but I'm not a fan of fish with bones still in them. The second time I went back for Mother's Day, and we had the thali lunch. It was fun to basically have a buffet without having gigantic portions (you can always get more refilling), and many options. Staff was incredibly attentive both times. Bartender knew what I would like, gave me great ideas for dinner, too. When sitting in the restaurant, the server staff was also quick and kind. There is lots of parking, and the restaurant is pretty big inside. It's very pretty and clean. Would love to go back!

Beautiful restaurant in Poughkeepsie!! The food was very good too. Service was good. They got busy as it was lunch time. We got in at a good time. Had to wait a while to pay the bill but no worries. The sauce on the kebabs was amazing, had us practically licking the plate. We asked for spicy but it could have been more. The flavor in the rice and kebabs was unique and delicious. Highly recommend

ALLIUM FREE REQUEST was met. This was a last-minute takeout order because I was not up to cooking. Tamarind dining experience is a bit hit and miss, but I'll give them props for trying to accommodate my allergies to alliums, especially at the last minute. SERVICE: I called the order in and spoke with who I think may have been the manager or one of the wait staff, he ultimately passed me over to another lady who took my order by way of the kitchen. The ordering process was a lengthy one since I had restrictions. It was dinner hour when I called so I appreciated them accommodating our request. We were craving butter chicken, but without advance notice, there was no way they could prepare that without onions and garlic, so we got it for my daughter, and I relegated myself to the recommended dishes of a paneer with a velvety tomato based sauce, most likely made with yogurt. The seasonings were lovely. As always, the proteins are far outweighed by the sauce, which isn't necessarily a bad thing since I tossed the sauce in with some chickpeas to make up another meal. The vegetable dish I got was mixed with cauliflower, carrots, and some other veggies. The sauce was mildly spicy and the vegetables fresh. It was missing something, but I couldn't tell what.( don't say "onions and garlic" because my reviews are always based on my pallet, which is used to NOT having onion and garlic ). The other allium-free dish was made with lentils in a sauce. It was really excellent. The reason I'm not going to give you the names of these dishes is because they were basically custom ordered. If it sounds good to you, just ask them to make something without garlic and onion, shallots, and chives, etc.. BUTTER CHICKEN: we Americans seem to love butter chicken don't we? My daughter had a craving. Sometimes I make it at home, but it's never as authentic as the one you get at a restaurant. She said that it hit the spot. NAAN: i'm sure they make the naan -from scratch and it's really delicious with a great chewy pull and just enough char.SATISFYING! TIP: order extra to keep in the freezer. The yogurt sauce was pretty much a waste of time- watered down yogurt with a few slivers of carrots. Not worth the money. Pass on that and make it at home. I appreciate them trying to make a garlic free however it lacked any flavor. PORTION SIZE: I'm pleased to report that the takeout portion sizes seem to have been more normalized. In the past, we've spent $70+ plus tip for a couple of entrees, naan, and a side and still been hungry afterwards. PACKAGING FOR TO GO. I'm also really impressed at the new takeout packaging which seems to be eco-friendly, instead of those plastic containers that we've grown accustomed to but are not good for our health nor the environment. So they get a star for that. A GOOD EXPERIENCE OVERALL: Would I order the mixed vegetable dish again? probably not. I would order the Dahl/lentils. And extra naan. FOR THE MANAGEMENT: great job accommodating my allergies with no advance notice. I suggest adding a few more vegetable options that can be prepared any style. The takeout containers are brilliant. Increase the portion size a bit more. BY THE WAY, our order without tip: $99 although we did enjoy the leftovers for lunch the next day, Tamarind is a luxury takeaway dining experience. I would encourage the restaurant to have some more family friendly take away packages to encourage more diners, especially during these very difficult economic times

Seriously good Indian restaurant. Greeting, seating, table service and food quality is exemplary. Tamarind is noted for its fine dining Indian cuisine which is quickly experienced at first bit. Even the dishes I was very acquainted with were kicked up into another level of rich subtle spiciness and nuanced complex flavors. Tamarind gives you an elevated taste and dining experience of the Indian classic which will enhance your appreciation for the skill, execution and depth of Indian cuisine that will be memorable.

Everything was amazing here. I did a lunch date with my mom and she really enjoyed herself. The curry was amazing, especially the tiki masala. Our server was the GOAT! This guy has top notch service and took care of us. I will definitely be back

A rectangular wooden serving tray contains crispy chips arranged in the center, accompanied by two square white bowls with dipping sauces—one dark soy-based and one green herb-based. The tray is placed on a dark table, with wine glasses and a water glass visible in the background, suggesting a dining setting.

Firstly the service was phenomenal, Jade was very attentive. The food was very good, full of flavor and perfect portions. The ambience is very relaxing and I would definitely return.

It's been a while since my husband and I had Indian food, we made a great decision to try out thier new location and it was bigger and the decor was delightful. We started with drinks, they were nice and strong however since I blog I go for the presentation of food and drinks which I give it all a 9/10. Food was seasoned to perfection with just the right amount of spice i ordered thr chicken masala and my husband had thr curry lamb and the chili garlic naan bread should win a noble piece prize. We'll definitely return.

Food was overall great, had better Indian food before but everything was tasty. We found prices reasonable. Service was fast, the waitress was trying to be friendly but we found she shared a bit too much personal details. The ambiance and looks of the place are nice, except for flying small bugs that concentrate on the window and will occasionally fly into your face/food.

I came here after my husband recommended the hot buffet food for a quick bite, and ended up buying…read moresome amazing produce, grocery items, and my favorite was the rice that came in a zipper-closure bag like a purse! It's the best thing I've seen and the smell of the rice is very fragrant, very aromatic! The ambiance of the location itself is cute and very clean. Ran by a couple that prepares all the food from-scratch, including the Mango Lassi. The beverage tasted like it was made not even 5 minutes before I got there, it felt like biting into a mango. I also purchased masala chai tea to brew at home. They also sell fresh okra and curry leaves to cook with- unheard of around this ares outside of farm stands. For anyone with allergies or dietary restrictions, they said everything is kept kosher and halal, no shared bakeware for meats and vegetable dishes.

The customer service was great the couple was so nice. The store was nice and clean. The food…read morewasn't bad just had an expectation that wasn't meet like I would wanted it to be. I order the butter chicken, chicken Marsala, plain naan and a mango drink they made in house. The two chicken entrees seemed more on the watery side than a gravy consistency. They were also more on the bland side with the say flavor other than that the spices were spicing lol. The mango drink was definitely delicious it was like a mango yogurt but more liquidity. I didn't get to take photos I should've did that. And also I bought a Coca Cola in the glass bottle and it wasn't a screw off so I wasn't able to bring it due to me not having a bottle opener nor did they offer to take it off for me.
