Gave the restaurant a second chance and i am happy to say that i made the right choice. Dined in for dinner and had Beef 'Varattiyathu' and Ghee Rice. The beef was cooked to perfection and really gave me the authentic Kerala beef taste. The quantity of the food served was fair and justified the price tag. Service was really good and staff were very friendly. Would definitely be back. (Old review : Extremely low quantity and quality of food for the price paid. Was expecting much more from the renovated restaurant. Huge Disappointment.)

Tamarind might be the best Indian restaurant in Christchurch. The fish curry was amazing - plenty of heat, but still the individual flavours rang out and made every bit an adventure. Excellent kids menu as well. Highly recommended!

Good tasting food, friendly service, wouldn't have minded the dining area a bit warmer. I ordered the Lamb Rogan Josh and asked for it spiced hot, and it came out as about a medium, but was tasty nonetheless. Solid option for a curry house.

Great food! Went on the suggestion of one of my team who wanted to introduce us to Thali for a team lunch. Will be back.

Tamarind South Indian Restaurant had a wonderful meal laid out for Onam Sadya. It’s such a sumptuous spread. Delicious of course, healthy and nutritional. Normally it’s difficult to do an entire meal with rice. But the accompaniments are so wonderful, the highlight was the payasam (a South Indian dessert) . The restaurant is buzzing with activity, many guests turned up in traditional Kerala attire to enjoy the meal which is served on a plantain leaf. Great customer service Nice work team Tamarind!!!

One of the best Indian restaurant which serves South Indian traditional foods. Ordered chicken biriyani for lunch with colleagues. Deliciously flavoured rice with right amount of spices and chicken sauce mix . Really appreciate the customer service , thanks to the restaurant manager. 👍

Food here is so different to any other Christchurch Indian restaurants. True South Indian flavours. Shared 3 differential mains that were all delicious. Highly recommended.

Not the same old menu in every Indian Restaurant out there. Appam and mappas curry was really awesome with a touch of taste back home. Kozhi Varathathu is highly recommended if you are a fan of spicy kerala food. Kudos to chef and Tamarind team!

If you are in Christchurch and you are craving for South Indian (typical Kerala style)... I would say Tamarind would be the right place to hit. Delicious, spicy and mouthwatering nadan food.... It was a pleasure to dine with you .... Big thumbs up to the chef and the person behind Tamarind..... Keep up the flavors ...👍👍👍👍👍

The best authentic and yummy kerala (South indian) style cuisine available in Christchurch. Worth trying kerala porota, beef fry/chicken mappas, allepey fish curry.. Dosa is good too. Enjoy!!..
