We love coming to Tamarind – some of the best north Indian food in the area! The restaurant came under new ownership (last year) and you can really see and taste the difference! We actually hosted a dinner here in their party room and the service was great. They have some kinks to work out, as all new restaurants do, but the owners are very open to feedback and truly make you feel part of the family. Must get the Rasmalai!!

Such great food! I come here all the time. My favorite is their weekend buffet, because you can try everything. Chicken 65 and butter chicken are fantastic, as well as the paneer and the chickpeas. They also have great drinks and cocktails. The mango lassi is really refreshing with a spicy entree. Servers are very attentive and will refill drinks, naan, rice, whatever you need! It’s a small business, and the owner is so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend it.

Delicious Indian food at an affordable price. There was variety and the severs are attentive and accommodating. This place is a gem especially for Loudoun County. I loved how they had a naan variety basket, something that I haven’t see others do.

Be aware, I ordered from Tamarind on grubhub, paid, and when I arrived it was CLOSED. They didn’t shut off their ordering.

Food was not bad except for the noodles which was too oily. Ordered an IPA but the nice waitress tried her best and came back and said they’re out of all the draft beers. So I ordered a double bourbon and she came back with what looked like a single. I don’t blame her, this is the issue with ordering drinks at Indian restaurants. They don’t know pour measures. Plus I got charged a lot more than what was on the menu. I didn’t want to stress her out – she was super nice. We just paid and left.
