★ The Legend
Kerala Prawn Curry
This dish features succulent prawns in a creamy South Indian curry, distinguished by the use of kodampuli (black tamarind), coconut, shallots, and Malabar spices. It's a consistently praised dish that showcases the kitchen's ability to balance rich, complex flavors with high-quality seafood.
◆ Fan Favorite
Dungar Chicken Chops
These tandoori-grilled chicken thigh tikka pieces are smoked and spicy, offering a deeply flavorful and tender experience. Diners consistently highlight the smoky char and well-balanced spice of this dish, making it a go-to starter.
◇ Hidden Gem
Old Delhi Butter Chicken
While many Indian restaurants offer butter chicken, Tamarind Kitchen's version stands out with its rich, caramelized tomato sauce and dried fenugreek, providing a depth of flavor that elevates it beyond the ordinary. It's a comforting yet refined dish that often gets overlooked by first-timers in favor of more 'adventurous' options, but regulars know it's a must-try for its exceptional execution.
Insider Tip

First-timers often stick to individual main courses, but the tasting menu is truly the way to go here. It offers a curated journey through the menu's highlights, including some of their most celebrated dishes, and provides excellent value by London standards. It's a fantastic way to experience the breadth of their regional Indian inspirations without having to choose just one or two dishes.
