text: A disclaimer before I get to the review.  Since I'm Indian and have lived in India for a number of years, my standards for Indian food are probably higher than most people's.  I rarely go out to eat at Indian restaurants since my mother can beat most of them, even on a bad day (the exception being South Indian food, dosa, vada, idli etc.).\nNow that that's over, I'll say that Tamarind is about as good as most other Indian places in America, A-OK.  We had the Goat Biryani, the Dahi Paapdi, Andhra Spicy Dosa, Non-Veg Tandoori platter, and garlic naan.\nThe goat biryani wasn't what we were expecting.  And since I've lived in Hyderabad and visited Lucknow a number of times, I think I have a pretty good idea of what biryani is.  It had way too much green chili and pudina.  The Dahi Paapdi just wasn't that flavorful at all.  The dosa and tandoori platter, on the other hand, were both good.   The sambar, idli and gunpowder were on par with spots like Sarvana Bhavan (in America).  The tandoori platter was generously portioned and perfectly seasoned.  Finally, the garlic naan was great (one of the best I've ever had).  Piping hot, slathered in butter with exactly the right amount of garlic.\nIf your standards for Indian food aren't super high, Tamrind definitely won't disappoint.
