TAMARIND INDIAN RESTAURANT

Tamarind Indian Restaurant is the kind of curry house where you might feel a bit nostalgic yet hopeful for a solid meal. Wanda Szwaba had a lovely evening with poppadoms and a spread of curries, raving about the presentation and flavors. Meanwhile, Jon found the food bursting with spices he didn’t expect, but he did mention a slight lack of smiles from the staff—maybe they just need a coffee.

Louise Ottewell shone a light on the fantastic service from Abdul and team. But let’s not forget M. Smith, who had a tomato allergy and ended up with an omelette because everything else was a tomato party—yikes. It’s a mixed bag, but if you’re in Bristol and craving curry, this could do the trick if you’re willing to play the menu roulette.
