Harden's survey result
Summary
This Soho outpost from the upscale Tamarind group serves some “lovely” Indian food in a simpler mould than its famous namesake: kebabs, curries and dishes from the tandoor. For the interior, they’ve gone for a funky café-style space, although at night the room can be “rather dark”.
Summary
“A gem in Soho” – this large and stylish spin-off from the famous Mayfair mothership is “a very reasonable (and reasonably priced) option” that takes inspiration from regional cuisines across India. “The tasting menu is particularly good value by London standards”.
Summary
This “sparky version of its parent Tamarind” in a “busy part of Soho” knocks out “delicious twists on quintessential Delhi street food” in a “large, stylish and comfortable dining room”. “Jovial staff” add to the “very special” package.
Summary
This spin-off from Mayfair’s Tamarind has a “really good buzz” and “an unusual take on Indian food”, serving “delicious and aromatic small plates”, many of them “inspired by street food”. With its “great decor and good, friendly service”, it’s “not super cheap, but the prices are consistent with the area”.
