Tamarind Cafe - Claremont

Went here 2 nights ago. Quiet and a bit cool but the service and food as shown in the photos was first class. Byo and very reasonable prices a big plus also . Should probably keep quiet about this restaurant so we can always get in.

Visited the Tamarind based on a recommendation from a friend. I was not disappointed. The food was fantastic and the service friendly and warm. Every dish was fresh and flavoursome.  I will be a regular from now on. It was also very good value.

I believe this place has recently been taken over by new owners.  The food is nothing short of fabulous.  The satay is cooked in the traditional hot coal method, the Balinese Chicken is very tasty, the Nasi Goreng gets top marks and the salads are just the freshest you'll get anywhere.  The staff are friendly and helpful.  Yes, it is a whole 10 metres off the beaten path and up some stairs, but truly you should try this place.  Can be quiet, but at least you can hear each other talk.  BYO makes it a winner as well.  Liquor store right across the road inside CQ (next to Jack's).

Pricey food which is not so good on flavour or ambience. Summer seating is uncomfortable, restaurant has only two tables in air conditioning. The seafood laksa noodles was awful, couldn't even finish the serving.

Love the weekly specials.. Nasi kerabu, nasi dagang and banana leaf rice was awesome.. But food is pricey... Service is great.. Would definitely be back for their specials.
