Opened in 2001 by Avtar Walia and named in honor of one of his favorite ingredients, Tamarind Tribeca is a New York City classic. The well-known Indian restaurant offers fine Indian dining at its best in a softly lit, elegant setting with a delectable menu to match that features traditional and classic Indian dishes such as chicken tikka masala and seekh kabab.
Other dishes that delight at every turn include nizami keema, a mouth-watering lamb appetizer that combines tender grilled strips with soft minced meat and pillowy naan, and a rich, vibrant Punjabi mutton curry made with "fall-off-the-bone" tender goat meat. The twin tandoor ovens also produce sumptuous seafood dishes, such as a moist sea bass sprinkled with a blend of roasted spices and smothered in a layer of thick yogurt.
