Cafe Tamarinds - Solihull

LOVE LOVE LOVE this restaurant! We visit Cafe Tamarinds at least once a week and have never been disappointed. Since being taken over by new management a couple of years ago the improvement has been incredible. Recently refurbished, the ambiance is relaxed and modern which makes every visit a pleasure! The menu (updated this month) caters for the traditional curry lover as well as those who might dare to try some of the delicious home-style Bangladeshi dishes. Finally, I have to mention the friendly staff for whom nothing is too much trouble! Thank you and keep up the excellent work! We look forward to seeing you again soon!

I ordered takeout from this restaurant and got the chicken tikka rogan Josh. Unfortunately, when I got home, it was just plain chicken with very little spice and seemed watery. I was very disappointed and will not be returning.

NEW MENU IS OUTSTANDING. GREAT SERVICE , GREAT PEOPLE FRIENDLY , HELPFUL , SENSIBLE PRICES . SUGGEST BOOKING A TABLE

3 rd visit to this restaurant with the current owners. Both previous times very good attentive service and excellent food. However on this occasion although food excellent as always the service was far worse . Restaurant was very busy with a one large party. Order was taken promptly and although there was a longer wait for food I could understand that. However after the plates were cleared I was expecting to be offered face wipes not offered! Also no one asked if we would like any dessert or coffee! One person behind the counter seemed more interested in chatting to a pair of dubious looking guys who were drinking at the bar. Customer service was not great and eventually managed to pay the bill and left. I’m afraid that I am not planning to return based upon the customer service on this occasion and would certainly not recommend it to anyone. Sad really as the food was excellent!

Excellent place, been 3 times now and have been impressed every time. I definitely recommend the lamb chilli karahi and the prawn madras for those who like a bit of a kick! The staff are very friendly and brought out a free ice cream for the little one, even though he said he was full (he wasn’t).
