Speaks for itself... I did notice people miss whatever old restaurant used to be in this location... dont let that stop you from coming to this new one though. It's worth it every time.

I've driven by this place numerous times and never gone in until tonight. I am very glad I did! We ordered the tamarind special chicken and the lamb biryani. We ordered the lamb biryani spicy, and it definitely was! The chicken was tender and extremely flavorful. The staff was extremely friendly. We look forward to returning soon. More...

To me, everything about a buffet is awesome. Everything about an Indian buffet, especially one with a variety of delectable and spicy dishes, is incredible. With various curries and assortment of chutney's, as well as vegetarian options (not that I need them, the chicken was deliscious) I went back until tears were at the corner of my eyes. I look forward to a time when I'll be able to come back and enjoy what I can only assume to be inspired and flavorful entree's. More...

We went to tamarind for dinner on thanksgiving,the ambiance was very authentic and for split second I felt like I was in India. The dishes were each unique but still connected,I find that if I go to Indian restaurants in Virginia they always tend to lack Indian flavor,Tamarind however has the Indian flavor.The service was great and overall a very nice place to dine at.If you have grand parents that are from India or anyone in general who is interested in Indian food it would be a great place to take them since they might be a little hesitant about trying it.

After years of being forced to Indian restaurants with family and not enjoying the food, I decided to try Tamarind for my first voluntary taste of Indian cuisine. It was a great (re)introduction to Indian food and I'm surprised that I'm interested in trying more! The lunch buffet had a variety of tasty options (and tame for those of us newbies). I'm eager to go back and try items from their menu. Friendly staff and good service. More...

Visitied this when it was 1947. With change in name they have really turned around their food. 1947 was average, tamarind is excellent. Appetizers and paneer sabji's were really outstanding. More...

One of the best Indian restaurants in the Sterling, VA area. Have been here for more than 5-6 times now, was never let down with the consistency, ambience and amazing taste. The owner always greets us with a smile and we always end up having a great conversation. Highly recommended to anyone who’s never had Indian food and would like to try for the first time. Keep up the great work guys!! More...

I was super impressed on my visit to Tamarind this evening! The staff was very knowledgeable about the menu and our waiter was explaining different items and giving recommendations, all of which were perfect! Everything we had tonight was seasoned well and delicious and you can tell that the staff is passionate about their cuisine and hold their customer satisfaction at a high level! There monthly specials are definitely the way to go and this would be a perfect restaurant for someone who is new to Indian cuisine! More...

LOVE their fun 'Adventure' menu addition. That's where I found the "Liche" drink. Wonderful drink! I kept my umbrella that came with it. We ordered the flavorful Butter Chicken and spicy Lamb Vindaloo with rice and plain and garlic naan bread. Service was wonderful, kind and attentive. Nice to meet and chat with the owner walking the floor on a busy evening! More...

Wonderful atmosphere and even better food.  Went there with family and friends for dinner and were blown away by the restaurant size, layout, and the staff.  The waiter recommended a host of dishes the place specializes in.  The Baby Corn Chili, Onion Pakora and Kachori were amazing.  I ordered the Chicken 65 and I would say hands down it was the best I've ever had.  I also sampled another member of our party's Goat Pepper Fry.  It was incredible.Highly recommend to all.   Not very expensive and the setting is fantastic.  I'll definitely go back again and again.

The best Indian food I've had in America. When I used to live in Sterling, I used to order from here or eat in here at least 2-3 times a week. I now live in N. Bethesda, MD and I have seriously considered making that hour long drive(each way), just to eat their food. I cannot recommend it enough. It's SO good. More...

Delicious food, modern and airy ambiance, and great customer service. I stopped by here last week on a business trip because I had a taste for Indian food. I actually went elsewhere first, but had a poor experience, so ended up here instead. What a find! First thing I noticed was the bright, open layout of the restaurant - very modern and tastefully trendy. I was greeted pleasantly as soon as I walked in, and the great customer service continued throughout my whole dining experience. And the food was delicious! I will definitely eat here again on my next trip to Sterling. Maybe I'll try the lunch buffet as well. More...

Tamarind did catering for our event for 300 people in Maryland. They did amazing job setting up food and food came extraordinarily good. They paid attention to each and every detail. Everyone loved it and said this party food is the best they have tasted in recent years. Venkat took his time, paid attention to everything and made sure to bring out the best flavors. The service they provided was more than we expected. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for fine dining and catering as well!!Kudos to the big team he has to serve what we want. More...

Under new ownership and management. New owner promises an updated menu, but for now the menu remains as excellent as it always was. The wine pours remain generous, the app/entree prices remain fair for white-tablecloth restaurant. It should be a go-to place for gourmands. The taste/flavor is "complex." If you like nicely-flavored food on the healthier side, you have to try this place!UPDATE: THe new menu delivers! On point, priced fairly, with even more exciting options. WIne pours remain generous, wait staff remains attentive.BTW: great place to impress a date or out-of-state family members. More...

Had been to tamarind for dinner last night. Wow. What an amazing experience it was. The ambience is so rich and grand. Everyone over there is so cordial and warm and serve you with great hospitality. Coming to the food, we ordered pepper chicken fry, chicken 65, chicken Manchurian and chicken lollipops for appetizers and sweet corn chicken soup. They were cooked to perfection and extensively rich in taste with perfect blend of Indian spices and the presentation was so beautiful and every dish will tickle your taste buds and leave you wanting for more. Must say that they taste exactly like in a fine dining restaurant back In Hyderabad and Bangalore. We ordered chicken dum biriyani and goat dum biriyani. They tasted very authentic and yummy will definitely go again for biriyani Chicken chettinad is another dish which we just loved. Desserts are the icing on the cake. Yummylicious. I would definitely recommend Tamarind restaurant for authentic Indian food and great hospitality. 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ More...

I cannot believe that someone compared this place to Choola's in the reviews on YELP.  Choola's is the Indian version of Chipotle.  This place is FINE Dining.White table cloths, cloth napkins, attentive & knowledgeable wait staff Went there mid week (3/July) with the wife and two of her adult children, one with date.EVERYONE raved about the food.  The service was flawless.Between four entrees and three apps, and one dessert,  no one had a negative thing to say.As always, they pack up the leftovers for you.  As always, the wine pours ($6 house merlot) were generous.  I have been to maybe a dozen Indian restaurants.   this one is far superior on every metric.  I have had about 3/4+ of the menu.  NEVER been disappointed. Only problem I have is that there are TOO many exciting choices.  Even vegetarian choices.Oh, yeah.  One of the daughters is gluten free.  The wait staff was familiar, and steered her towards GF options.I suspect that the next printing of the menu will include a GF page, or GF asterisks.You should go there.  It is also a great date place- good ambiance, NICE decor.  Your date will be impressed.
