Tamarind Indian Cuisine Orlando

This place is truly a diamond in the rough. I went here during lunch for the lunch buffet. Don't let the outside of the building dissuade you from coming in. The place is very clean and the restaurant staff is very welcoming. The items in the buffet are very good and fresh. They bring out freshly made Naan to your table. I will come back!!

There is an inverse relationship between "hole in the wall" exterior and quality of food. It definitely holds in this case as the food is lovely and authentic. I was there for lunch and chose the buffet and the food was hot and varied. There was free nan bread and the service was fast. There was a bit of PITA paying via credit but that may have been a temporary problem.

We love it here, great food with a nice variety in the lunch buffet and incredibly reasonable prices. Staff is always friendly and treats the kids well too. If I can sneak away for lunch in a weekday, this is where I am going!

By far the best Indian food ever. I was originally. A bit skeptical because the building outside looks old and nothing to brag about but the food is totally the reverse. From their naan bread to their food, it was great! When I come back to Orlando, I will definitively stop again.

The good and the bad
We planned to dine here with a party of 8 for a recent graduation celebration. We made reservations on Open Table and received several confirmations. When we arrived to a fully packed restaurant and no waiting area, we started to panic. The host explained that he did not have a reservations for us and that we would not have a table for several hours. My husband showed his reservation confirmation and was informed that the only reservations they accept are ones that are called in to their establishment and they have no connection to Open Table at this location, only at their Winter Park location and that many people have had this problem! We argued with them, and they did eventually set up another two tables almost in the entryway and while they were doing that, another big party came in and tried to take it! Fortunately, the staff made them move and they left. Service was slow, at first it was very busy, but it cleared out and left only a few tables remaining, but still the service was slow. Could really use a make over for the interior. That was the bad. The good is the food is outstanding. Lots of variety and we even tried a few we'd never had before. Reasonably priced we left with a huge dinner for 8 with some drinks for $245 including tip.
