Susan Maxey: Chicken tikka masala and tamarind coconut shrimp are awesome. Go with medium spice. Hot has a bitter edge. Oh, and get nasn, for sure!
Will Hutson: If you like shrimp and savory flavors to tend to be sweeter, try the Tamarind Coconut Shrimp.
Re Ro: Average Lunch buffet ... tamarind chutney is excellent with veggie Pakoras.. Cumin potatoes r good... Chicken tandoori is good. Romantic ambience
