Helpful information to ensure a memorable experience at The Tamarind
information
In a relaxed yet joyous celebration of fresh, imaginative Modern Asian cuisine, The Tamarind finds its heart and soul in the enchanting flavours of regional Thailand. In keeping with Thai tradition, sweet, sour, bitter and salty tastes are combined creatively and effortlessly, resulting in an uplifting menu that is considered and layered.
The complex yet balanced flavours at The Tamarind work in perfect harmony and reward with a generous depth of flavour.
An insistence on using only the very best locally sourced produce ensures that every dish is fresh and relevant, while classic ingredients such as chilli, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, fish sauce, palm sugar, lime juice and salty sauces provide familiar punch and intrigue.
A small sample of dishes that have appeared on the distinctive menu in the past and are illustrative of the style include market sashimi, wagyu beef tataki, butter pork mandu and a sour orange curry of white fish.
