I enjoyed lunch with a friend at Tamarind the other day. Upon walking
into the restaurant, it appears a lot smaller than expected, with about 5
tables for 2. Though note that the small size did not equate chaotic
(as I'm sure you can imagine other Asian restaurants) and had a clean,
fresh feel with tall windows and lots of sunlight. Perfect for an
afternoon lunch! Our server was very friendly and prompt with our meals.
I ordered the Pad Thai (I know, at a Vietnamese restaurant!) and Bo Lo
La as an appetizer. The Bo Lo La consists of spiced beef wrapped in
betel leaves. The appetizer menu was definitely more out of the ordinary
and adventurous in comparison to the usual salad and spring rolls,
which was a nice surprise! I believe this is a family owned
business...At the cashier they were very friendly, asked for feedback
and welcomed us to visit again. I would recommend Tamarind for a casual
lunch. Locals appeared to frequent Tamarind for takeout. Portion sizes
are perfect (so you don't go into a food coma upon returning to work).
The service is quick, (though you may want to make reservations to
ensure you get a table), prices super reasonable and food was quite
good!
