    North Indian Style Meatballs Dinner
    Julie V.

    I came here for a catch up dinner with some friends and I gotta say - love that parking was not a pain. You can definitely find some free street parking in the neighborhoods nearby which is great. As for the restaurant itself, love the aesthetics. It was clean, well decorated, and the staff were so kind and polite. I got the North Indian Style Meatballs Dinner and it was divine. I don't use that word often because it sounds so extra, but for real though. This dish was so comforting that I thought about saving some for later. In case I wake up from a bad dream in the middle of the night and wanted something to make me feel instantly better. However, it was too good and I ate it all in one sitting. Next time I'm getting two orders - one for here and another to go.

    Seafood Curry Over Rice!
    Arnel A.

    We came here for a company event and also our first time here ever. But what a pleasant experience in this cozy restaurant bar in downtown Berkeley! I tried the seafood curry, the naan bread plate and the secret cocktail! They all hit the spot. The chicken masala was so flavorful and delicious. The portion was good and i was full with one serving. The bartender and service were amazing. It's not a huge place but it gave the character as a cozy place to relax and have a good meal! Will definitely return again!

    Drinks are amazing
    David C.

    This place is amazing. The drinks are wonderful and all reasonably priced. You must try the fried chicken with Tika masala sauce. Everything else is amazing. Check for serenity at the bar.S the owners manage work as well so you know great service and high quality food. Right next to chez panisse . Plenty of indoor seating and also outdoor seating

    Mango marsala with Tiger Lilly signature cocktail
    Andrea L.

    Food is always excellent. Comes out hot and looking so amazing like a work of art. Atul and Alka are incredible people and I am always so happy to see them over the years coming up to the bay area for the various jobs that brings me back here.

    Back for cocktails tonight w friends! So great! Love this place. Great food. Great cocktails. Great date place. Great friends meet. Sports at the bar if desired. Thanks Tigerlily!

    Tandoori Mint Lamb Chops

    Has a wonderful dinner at this lovely restaurant replete with great food, ambiance and very attentive service. We had such a nice experience we came back for another dinner the next week and it did not disappoint! All the dishes were delicious and had ample portions. My favorite was the tandoori mint lamb chops accompanied by baba ganoush and broccoli & fingerling potatoes. The lamb was both tender and succulent and the portion quite generous. I also really loved their braised kale, and fresh naan. My brother's favorite was the North Indian style meatballs which was a combination of pork and lamb, coconut milk & tomato curry, kale and stewed chick peas and house made paneer cheese. I wasn't sure how that would taste but we both found it delicious. We will be back to try more of their dishes including classics as well their many unique ones.

    Veg Samosa
    Josie J.

    10/10!!!!! This place was outstanding! I can honestly say the best food I've ever had in Berkeley. The curried deviled eggs were to die for as were the huge samosas. Will absolutely be coming back next time I'm in town! The service was fast and food came out quickly.

    Food- 5/5 Service- 5/5 Ambiance -5/5 with romantic vibes Drinks are also 5/5 - super high quality cocktails! Recommend ANY of their naans, can't go wrong! Also the brunch menu is different and incredible too!

    Avocado and Beets
    Matty E.

    Food ranged from good to excellent, but the cocktails were the real star of the show. The drinks menu was extensive, and we enjoyed each one we tried (their namesake, the Tigerlily, was a standout). The fresh fruit is a decadent touch to the very flirty, very sweet cocktails. The fried chicken was exceptional, with an interesting take on mashed potatoes underneath -- very hearty and filling. The coconut curry chicken was also excellent, though the naan was unusually thick and dry. We also had the beet salad, which was delicious except for the avocados -- they were so unripe that I couldn't cut them with my fork and knife. Not exactly sure how they ended up on a plate and served, but the service was somewhat spotty so we couldn't send them back before our entrees arrived -- not the end of the world, since the beets and paneer were still good. Overall, the food was good enough to warrant a return visit sometime, and the vibe was sophisticated (if not a bit sports-bar-y in the front). Great for a date night or a special catch-up with friends.

    Ok, this place is amazing!! If you like tikka masala, please come get the fried chicken masala! Absolutely amazing! The nann was to die for!

    Are the tv's on every night through dinner?

    Yes

    Do they have high chairs?

    Some of the tables against the wall and at the bar do, but they have normal tables towards the back and outside!

    Does this place do weekday brunch?

    There was never a week day brunch. The weekend brunch has not resumed yet.

    Does Tigerlily do bottomless mimosa brunches? If so, how much does it cost?

    They do! I believe they're $14 (just for the mimosas).

    Are you dog friendly?

    Morning, yes! As long as our patio is open, we serve our guests on a first come first serve basis for the patio and dogs are welcome on leash.

Looking for an in-between spot (a sip and bite before dinner), we cozied up to the bar here for a quick cocktail and bar food snack. We ordered onion rings that came with the choice of a variety of sauces including Tikka Sauce, Siracha Mango, Sweet Chili, Korean BBQ, Hot Honey, and more. Both the cocktails and snacks came timely, and we enjoyed conversation and community chatting with other locals/tourists visiting Berkeley for a short time. The vibes are right in Tipsea and I dig the nautical ambiance/theme/play on words. Worthy of a stop through; street parking on Shattuck/paid garages nearby, but ride-share sometimes easiest for these locations. NA options available and full menu including burgers, a fried chicken sando, seafood options, other bar snacks including Navi's and loaded tots, and dessert.

I can taste it in my mouth, oh lord. They have one of the BEST BARTENDERS EVER, her name is Adela, I hope I am spelling that correctly. She was so beautiful, she had long beautiful dread locks. We talked and she was very welcoming her and Nicholas who birthday was a day before mines, he was so cool. They made sure we had everything we needed and our drinks was to our likings, she was very very informative about our drinks, what was in it, and she even had great detail to the things we wanted/looking for in our drinks.
