I totally recommend the Cauliflower for entree and Eggplant for main. 2 great vegan options. Also very reasonably priced meals and drink menu. I will definitely be back !!

Should be 5 stars if not for the Happy Cow limitation!

Tamarind provided an exceptional (!) dining experience.

The masala dosa and accompanying items were terrific! Clearly, every aspect of our dishes were prepared fresh, with love and focus by a very talented chef(s).

We loved our meal; the service; and the kindness and brilliance of the owner!

Overall, it was a truly edifying experience! We offer our heartiest recommendation! Go — and enjoy!

One of the best southern Indian restaurants I’ve eaten at.

I was nervous to eat out in Blenheim as there aren’t many evening dinner options.

We approached The Tamarind to ask whether they could make us vegan options. The waitstaff were very friendly and help with with every request.

They explained in detail they use no dairy/ sugar/ gluten in their food, and all options could be adapted if necessary.

We opted for the assorted bhajis (delicious!), one vege korma (one of the best I’ve eaten) and two Mysore masala dosa! All food was delicious. The waitstaff checked on us several times to ensure we enjoyed our food.

Most wine served is from the region, and beers are on offer from India.

The only observation worth noting is they do not accept American Express.

The best dinner!

Pros: Amazing food. So many options. , Lovely waitstaff. Kind and accommodating. , Reasonably priced.

Cons: No American Express acceptance (just worth noting)
