Tamarind

Amazing, delicious, from-scratch cuisine; I meant to leave a review last time for their lunch special, which we never had before because we were usually here for dinner. I was blown away by the great portion and flavor of the food. If you finish any one item on your plate, you can ask for a refill on the lunch special, but I can never finish the entire thing.
I remembered to take photos this time!
Lots of vegetarian/vegan options and they also have Lamb for those of you who have been craving an authentic tandoori taste.

Great atmosphere! My boyfriend and I go here for our daily dinner dates and every time we come it’s a perfect experience. The staff is perfect and very kind and welcoming and will most definitely accompany you to your needs. Also, the food is to die for you can customize the spice level which is perfect for what you’re feeling spice wise. They definitely have variety which is perfect way to satisfy your cravings😫 10/10 recommend

You can tell they take pride in making their restaurant, the best it can be. Their food is delicious, and their portions are fantastic. Everyone is so friendly, and we were welcomed immediately by our wonderful server and the owner even came over to introduce himself as well. We were very impressed and will definitely be back. They made my first experience with Indian cuisine a delight.

Stopped by on a Monday night and we hit the food jackpot. The first thing that stood out was how clean the restaurant is and how much attention to details and decorations.

The Indian food is amazing. It was restaurant week so they had a three course meal offer. We had lamp chops, goat with rice, and for dessert we had the brash malai. We had two side orders of lentil soup (highly recommend) and also the dumplings noodle soup. It's not the traditional dumplings you might have had but it was decent. I could do without the noodle soup.

The drive here was well worth it. Thank you for the great service and amazing food.

Incredible meals, every time. We have been here a couple of times and every time the food is very good. If you haven’t tried Tamarind, add it to your list! Biru was our waiter and he was professional, and had great customer service.

We ate here this evening as a party of four. The ambience is inviting yet spacious and the service was friendly and professional. When it comes to the food, wow! Every dish we had was so full of flavor and delicious. There were many vegetarian friendly dishes for those of us who don’t eat meat. The Paneer dishes we had did not disappoint. If you’re looking for good Indian food Poughkeepsie, this is your spot!

Clean big restaurant and bar. Nothing to look at from outside but the inside was very nice. Our server was Virendra who was very polite and professional. Both my wife and I ordered the non-vegetarian thali. She got hers with a choice of chicken Tikka masala and Tandoori Roti and I got mine with goat curry and buttered Nan. The common items on our thalis were Rasam(soup) ghost chicken, yellow dal, okra, salad of onion & cucumbers, plain yogurt, rice and gulab jamun. I thought that everything was very good. We could get unlimited refills of any and every item if we wanted but we couldnt even finish everything. Definitely recommend a visit.

This is my first time here. I ordered the lamb Biryani and the chicken Vindaloo, medium to hot spice level. It was delicious. I will most certainly be back. The place was a little to cold for my comfort however I warmed up after eating.

My husband and I have been to Tamarind twice. We love the ambiance of the restaurant. The quality of the food is outstanding. Would definitely recommend this restaurant! 👍🏽👍🏽❤❤❤❤

Great food. Very awesome server. Ashish!! He went above and beyond when I asked him about the dishes!! Thank you all!

I’ve been here a few times and the food is always so good! Zohra and Zayna are the best servers! Both of them were so friendly, sweet, and made the experience so enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back for the jalapeño samosas some time!

Great place for Indian food in a far off small town Poughkeepsie in NY. Portions are large and food was tasty! Roomali roti was very authentic! Hyderabadi Chicken Dum biriyani was great but not like original in layers! Kadai paneer was good! Chicken vindaloo was ok! Dessert rasamalai was great! The only low spot was the service! Slow and confusing. Will recommend!

Excellent! This is a pricier and more formal setting than an Indian buffet and the atmosphere was lovely. The staff was caring and accommodating. We initially asked to sit outside (not much of a view but beautiful weather) and they helped us inside when the bees became too much. They had excellent recommendations and the food was superb. Chelsea was incredibly sweet. Would love to go again. Price per person anywhere from $20-30.

Fabulous thali lunch special for a very reason price. We went with friends and we were all so pleased with our meals (standouts were the goat curry and chicken tikka masala in the non-veg thali option). Kheer was also delicious and I don’t even gravitate toward rice pudding. Presentation of the meal is gorgeous and the place itself is sparking. Masala chai is lovely. Service was excellent, and our server Chelsea was so sweet and helpful whenever we needed something.

As advertised they do have a modern and somewhat minimalist style of decor and atmosphere, which I think certainly will make the restaurant feel familiar to anyone. That said I wouldn’t mind being surrounded by a little more expressive decor and music, partly because it’s so great I want to know more about the owners and food. Highly recommend. We’ll be back!

We had a late lunch/early dinner (around 3:00 pm on a weekday) at Tamarind. The service was fantastic. The food was delicious. We had eaten here a few months ago and are glad we finally got back. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and mentioned it. During our meal, our waiter brought two complimentary flutes of champagne for us! We definitely recommend Tamarind for wonderful service and great food. Our experience a few months ago was just as good with great service and food. Thank you Tamarind!

We took our friend here for a birthday lunch, and the food was absolutely spectacular! They were so kind. They even gave her a complementary little chocolate sponge cake, which was delicious! But everything we had was wonderful and tasted so fresh. Even the bread basket was the best I’ve ever had at any in Indian restaurant! I highly recommend this place! Don’t be fooled by the location, this is a top-notch restaurant

This is a hidden gem if you are looking for a different place for dinner! We were greeted by the friendliest hostess I have encountered in a long time. Our waitress Jennifer S was excellent and had great suggestions for meals. The menu is large and unless you have Indian all the time, it can be intimidating on what to order. That is not a bad thing in the least. We decided to order a few things and share family style so that we could experience a few different things. My husband ordered the Restaurant prix fixe menu which was a lot of food!!! Bang Bang Shrimp, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan (I would come just for this!), and the rice pudding dessert. I got the chicken biryani which was perfect, and it friend got the eggplant curry. All of the food was great. The eggplant curry was not our fave- the eggplant was not our thing but the curry itself was excellent. That with the paneer would have been perfect.

From the service to the food, we were very glad we came here because it was a perfect dining experience.

Had the Thali non vegetarian, curry goat and chicken tikka mussala. This mini buffet was amazing, tasty, and a great value.

Went with a party of 10 for a birthday. We go out to eat often and can't seem to find a place that's consistent or feel like you got your money's worth. Well this place to our surprise was spot on with EVERYTHING. the food was amazing and the service was excellent. Highly recommend.

Philip was an excellent waiter and was extremely attentive to all of our needs .
