    I am obsessed! First real indian food experience and sort of bummed no longer buffet I heard they used to have. I tried the chicken tikala and omg the flavor and how filling! Incredible having the sauce to dip the onion naan in! The price is perfectly reasonable for the taste and flavor. Service is great and welcoming, comfortable atmosphere. Only negative is not open til 5pm! Easy parking free for the full strip of stores. l can't wait to come back and feel like I missed out on life with no indian food before!

    On my last visit here, there was new management, and it was no longer a Five Star experience. I felt the staff was a little rude to me, the food was not as good, and there was too much incense smoke ... no cheers.

    Came here for some authentic Indian food with friends and ordered a few different entrées to try. We were pleasantly surprised at the flavors and spices. We got mild for spice level and the lamb was a little spicy but very tasty. The chicken Marcella was a little bit different from other places it had a slight sweet flavor in their sauce/ curry. The nun was delicious we tried the non-basket so it had a few different flavors. The eggplant was definitely my favorite. Worth a visit. Service was a little slow but food was good.

    Delicious Tandoori Chicken!

    This place has been a staple for us since we've lived in the Pittsburgh area. The Indian food is authentic and delicious. Tamarind was one of our favorite takeout places during the pandemic. This is a great location with plenty of parking. The restaurant is clean and the service is good. To the food, this is where Tamarind shines. On this night we went with some standards. Of course we got samosas. The Tandoori Chicken was juicy and very flavorful. It came out on a steaming plate. For the creamy dishes, we had the Butter Chicken and the Mutter Paneer (peas and cheese). Perfection! And don't skip the Garlic Naan, it puts garlic bread to shame. We are so glad that this kind of quality Indian food is in our neighborhood. Well worth it!

    2 chicken tikka masalas, my eggplant dish, and samosa chaat. Just ok

    I've ordered Tamarind takeout twice now, purely off of the recommendation from my brother. He lives close to the restaurant and raves about their chicken tikka masala and lunch buffet. I'm not sure if they started the buffet back up again, but in the meantime he has enjoyed takeout. We decided to order takeout the other night since I was at his house. We placed the order through Doordash since my brother had a 50% off coupon if you did pick up. We placed an order for 2 garlic naans, 1 samosa chaat, 2 chicken tikka masalas (for him and his girlfriend) and then baingan bharta for me. The first time I went, I ordered the baingan bharta (eggplant dish) and it was soooooo hot. I love this dish and have ordered it at different restaurants, but this was too spicy for me. I gave it another shot and put "mild spice please!" in the notes. We picked up the order about 45 minutes later and the food was scalding hot. The restaurant was empty and there was no music playing. It would have been awkward to eat in the restaurant. Once we got back to his house we opened the naan. It was SO good and very garlicky. I loved it. My eggplant dish was the same spice level as the first time I got it. Way too hot again. I ate some of it with the rice, but my nose was running and I was sweating! I won't order it again because of my spice preference. My brother and his girlfriend loved the chicken tikka masala as always. The samosa chaat was very soggy and didn't taste fresh. It was okay and had a good flavor, but I wouldn't order it again. It seems like they do a great takeout business. Next time I will try a different vegetarian dish.

    Ambiance is relaxed and the server was friendly. Food is fantastic it is not greasy at all. I think it is fresh and delicious and really great balance of spice and flavor. This is an Indian restaurant I would highly recommend we ordered several dishes and they were all great.

    We tried Medu Vada, chicken 65 and Idli recently from this place. The one additional star is for the Medu Vada here. I absolutely loved it and would try again. Medu vadas basically are the savory donuts made of black gram and rice batter, deep fried. It was a little bit oily, but very tasty and crispy. I also have tried aloo bonda from this place which are ok. Overall snack servings at this restaurant are good. Chicken 65 was so so,won't stand up to the near by competitions at other Indian restaurants.

    Yum! This place came up in my suggestions on Yelp and I am so glad that it did!…read more This is a "build your own" style restaurant like Chipotle or Moe's but with delicious Indian food. There was an appetizer that I had never heard of or tried before, so I wanted to try it (similar to a pani puri). I was ordering for takeout, but they said if I wanted this I really should eat it in house immediately because the shell would get soggy and not be as good. I appreciate the tip because I would not have otherwise known that. And I am so glad I ordered it because it was delicious! The combination of the sauces with the shell and contents was a flavor blast. Definitely something I will order again. For the bowl, I did a build your own. They also have pre-designed bowls that might help if you are feeling overwhelmed with the choices. I made mine with white rice, paneer tikka, tiki masala sauce and several of the toppings. The portions were generous and they answered my questions about ingredients and let me sample sauces while I was making my decisions. When I thought about adding something that sounded good, they advised me against it saying it wouldn't work together with what I had already put in (but weren't pushy about it). I appreciated the feedback. The bowl was delicious and filling. I enjoyed every single bite and it was the kind of meal where I was actually sad when it was gone because I enjoyed it that much. I'm not in the Robinson area that often, but I would definitely come back any time I'm around.

I wouldn't say anything in particular was the best ever, but everything was really good, which in itself is just awesome. The paneer tikka was good. Nice a flavorful. The palak chaat was fine - I'd say it was mostly just palak pakoras and didn't really have much of a flavors of a chaat. Proabably this was the only somewhat disappointing item. The paneer lababdar was really good. Asparagus kofta was probably the even better, and then the dal makhani was also good. We ordered naan in a couple of batches and enjoyed it most when they brought it out really fresh out of the tandoor. The bullet naan was really good. Garlic naan was good too.

The space is primarily bench like seating so keep that in mind. Service was a tad slow as we waited a bit to place our order and for the food to come out. The menu was varied, which I appreciated. I had granny's chicken, which had good flavor. The spicy naan was mild in my opinion, though others in my party thought it was too much to pair with a 7 spice level. Parking out front is easy. Okay option.
